Two Sisters
Each Friday night, I drove my wife to the train station so she could go visit her sister who was ill. Ten minutes later, My sister arrived by train so that she could manage our house over the weekend while my wife was gone. On Sundays, this procedure worked in reverse with my sister departing by train ten minutes before my wife arrived. One evening after my sister left and while I awaited my wife's arrival, a porter sauntered over. "Mister," he said, "you sure have some system going! But one of these days, you're goin' to get caught!"Maple Doors
We got lucky when we heard the old Piedmont Hotel in Atlanta was getting a face-lift and its beautiful maple doors became available for sale as salvage items. We bought several and had them installed in our 19th-century home. Showing a friend around the house, I pointed out, "You know, these doors are from the Piedmont Hotel." He raised an eyebrow. "Most people just take towels."Insurance Rates
A client called to report an accident and ask if her insurance rates wuld go up. "Our underwriting department determines that", I said. Then I asked for her license number. Verifying her information, I asked, "NMF? Is that N as in Nancy, M as in Mary, and F as in Frank?" "Well... yes," she said. "But could you please tell your underwriters that it's also N as in Not, M as in My, and F as in fault?"Jury Foreman
A prosecuting attorney just could not believe that a jury had found the defendant not guilty. Astonished, he asked the jury foreman, "How could you possibly have found this man innocent?" The foreman replied, "Insanity." The perplexed prosecutor asked, "All twelve of you?"
