Spy Job:

A man applied for a job as an industrial spy. Together with several other applicants, he was given a sealed envelope and told to take it to the fourth floor.

As soon as the man was alone, he stepped into an empty hallway and opened the envelope. Inside, a message read: “You’re our kind of person. Report to the fifth floor Personnel Office.”

Speedy Recovery:

A policeman was rushed to the hospital with appendicitis. The doctors operated and informed him that all went well. However, he kept feeling something pulling at the hairs on his chest. Concerned that there was a second surgery the doctors hadn’t told him about, he finally mustered up the energy to pull his hospital gown down far enough so he could look at what was making him so uncomfortable.

Taped firmly across his hairy chest were three wide strips of adhesive tape, the type that doesn’t come off easily. Written in large black letters was the sentence:

“Have a speedy recovery... from the nurse you gave a ticket to last week.”

The Diagnosis:

A veterinarian was feeling ill, so he went to see his doctor.

The doctor asked all the usual questions ... what symptoms did he have, how long had they been occurring, etc., when the vet interrupted him:

“Look, doc, I’m a vet and I can’t ask my patients these questions. I can tell what’s wrong just by looking - why can’t you?” he said smugly.

The doctor nodded, stood back and looked the vet up and down. He then quickly wrote out a prescription, handed it to the vet, and said, “That should help you out.”

The vet smiled smugly and replied, “See, that wasn’t so hard, was it?”

The doctor countered with, “ Of course, you do understand that if that doesn’t work, we’ll have to have you put to sleep!”
