Recently I answered the phone and it was a sales person
from a long distance company. They asked for my late father
by name.
"I'm sorry," I answered, "but he's dead."
Their reply, "May I leave a number in case the situation
changes?" 

Casey Silver yesterday resigned his position as chairman and 
CEO of Universal Pictures. ... or, as he prefers to put it 
"Met Joe Black."

On a job board: 

    "Man, honest, will take anything."
