Moral of the story is??

There were two guys working for the city.

One would dig a hole, the other would follow behind him and fill the hole
in.

They worked furiously all day without rest, one guy digging a hole, the
other guy filling it in again.

An onlooker was amazed at their hard work, but couldn't understand what
they were doing.

So he asked the hole digger, "I appreciate the effort you are putting into
your work, but what's the story? You dig a hole and your partner follows
behind and fills it up again."

The hole digger wiped his brow and sighed,

" Eish, normally we are a three-man team, but the guy who plants the trees
is sick today."!

Good joke, but you laugh?

Many moons ago, when we were living in Zambia, we had (in good colonial fashion) a manservant who would make a pot of filter coffee after dinner every night. One night he delivered a pot full of only hot water to the table. When my mother asked him why, he replied, "the coffee is finished." Now, I mean, who would go through the whole rigmarole of making a pot of coffee without one rather key ingredient....?

True story. Moral of the story? Even the Romans had this continent sussed out two thousand years ago, when they said "Out of Africa, always something new." Sometimes, you gotta love it. Other times, well, never mind.

When I worked at Bosman St (can be confirmed by Louis Eerenstien) there was a lady that used to take the orders for food and drinks from each cubicle. I asked for a toasted bacon sandwich every day, they did not have a bacon sandwich they only had bacon and cheese, and every morning she used to write one toasted bacon and cheese with no cheese,and every morning I used to get a small piece of cheese with my bacon sandwich, and I am sure they charged me more for the extra labour for removing the cheese.
So this is the reason, I always have a toasted cheese and bacon sandwich.

true story, check with Louis.

I love it!

At the beginning of my shift I placed a stethoscope on an elderly and slightly deaf female patients anterior chest wall.."Big breaths" I instructed
"Yes they used to be" replied the patient..Dr Richard Barnes


While acquainting myself with a new elderly patient I asked "How long have you been bedridden?"
After a look of complete confusion she replied "Why, not for about 20 years - when my husband was still alive" Dr Steven Swanson

Picture the scene:
On our construction site in Lusaka, 1966, the "yardboy" was an old chap who's pay number was 007 - hence instantly nick-named "James Bond"
One of his duties was to daily dip the overhead diesel tank and let me know when we were running low on fuel.
One day James Bond came up and said to me "Boss, we got no diesel"
"Why the f**k didn't you tell me yesterday that we've got no diesel ??"
"But Boss, yesterday we had diesel" !!!

Good one Brian.

Brian, your bloke must have been related to ours, even though the coffeee-less coffee incident happened in Livingstone, not Lusaka!

A security guard in George lost the keys to the lock of the gate.
I've send somebody to replace the lock.
He handed the new keys to the security with the words" now throw this keys away also"
In amaze the guard pulled back and tossed the key into the long grass.
The guard was brought to me.
His words............ but boss he told me to throw the keys away.

Strange little men.
You dont wanna be in my way when my laser goes off.
