Gomer's Job Interview

The local sheriff was looking for a deputy, so Gomer - who was not exactly the sharpest nail in the bucket went in to try out for the job.

- Okay - the sheriff drawled.

- Gomer, what is 1 and 1?

- 11 - he replied.

The sheriff thought to himself:

- That's not what I meant, but he's right.

- What two days of the week start with the letter 'T'?

- Today and tomorrow.

He was again surprised that Gomer supplied a correct answer that he had never thought of himself.

- Now Gomer, listen carefully: Who killed Abraham Lincoln?

Gomer looked a little surprised himself, then thought really hard for a minute and finally admitted:

- I don't know.

- Well, why don't you go home and work on that one for a while?

So, Gomer wandered over to the pool hall where his pals were waiting to hear the results of the interview. Gomer was exultant.

- It went great! First day on the job and I'm already working on a murder case!

Shoplifter Buys the Watch

A shoplifter was caught red-handed trying to steal a watch from an exclusive jewelry store.

- Listen - said the shoplifter.

- I know you don't want any trouble either. What do you say I just buy the watch and we forget about this?

The manager agreed and wrote up the sales slip. The crook looked at the slip and said:

- This is a little more than I intended to spend. Can you show me something less expensive?

Congressman on Whiskey

A Congressman was once asked about his attitude toward whiskey.

- If you mean the demon drink that poisons the mind, pollutes the body, desecrates family life, and inflames sinners, then I'm against it.

- But if you mean the elixir of Christmas cheer, the shield against winter chill, the taxable potion that puts needed funds into public coffers to comfort little crippled children, then I'm for it.

- This is my final position, and I will not compromise!

Minister and Lawyer

A minister and lawyer were chatting at a party:

- What do you do if you make a mistake on a case? - the minister asked.

- Try to fix it if it's big; ignore it if it's insignificant - replied the lawyer.

- What do you do? - lawyer asked.

- Oh, more or less the same. Let me give you an example. The other day I meant to say 'the devil is the father of liars,' but instead I said 'the devil is the father of lawyers,' so I let it go - minister replied.
