A. Read these jokes about work. Say which of them you think to be the cleverest.
1. Employer: In this job we need someone who is responsible.
Applicant: That’s me. In my last job, whenever anything went wrong, they said I was responsible.
2. Employer: Young man, do you think you can handle a variety of work? Applicant: I think I should be able to — I’ve had eight different jobs in the past three months!
3. A young man had a problem getting up for work in the mornings and was frequently reprimanded for being late. It got so bad that he went to see the doctor who gave him a medicine to take at bedtime. After taking the medicine, the man slept well, woke up refreshed, had a leisurely breakfast and went to work.
“Hi, I feel great,” he told his boss. “I think all my timekeeping problems are a thing of the past.”
“Terrific,” said the boss. “But where were you yesterday?”
4. Several weeks after being hired, the young man was called into the personnel manager’s office. “When you applied for this job, you said you had a degree in the English language from Cambridge plus five years’ experience in this line of work. Now we discover that you have absolutely no qualifications and that this is your first job of any kind. What do you have to say for yourself?”
“Well, you did say you wanted somebody with imagination!”
5. At a job interview, an office manager asked a female applicant whether she had any unusual talents. She said that she had won several prizes in crossword puzzle and slogan-writing competitions.
“That’s very good,” said the manager, “but we want somebody who can be smart during office hours.”
“Oh,” said the applicant, “that was during office hours.”
6. A man was given the job of painting white lines down the middle of the highway. On his first day, he painted six miles; on the second day, he did three miles; and on his third day, he painted less than a mile.
The foreman was not pleased. “How come you’re doing less each day?” he demanded. “Because each day I keep getting further away from the can of paint!”
