Effective communications (for Friday fun)
by Miki Saxon
TGIF everybody!!! And in honor of this wonderful day I thought I’d share some laughter on how communications and spin are everything.
Spin is everything!
A distinguished young woman on a flight from Switzerland asked the priest beside her, “Father, may I ask a favor?”
“Of course. What may I do for you?”
“Well, I bought an expensive electronic hair remover that is well over the Customs limits and I’m afraid they’ll confiscate it. Is there anyway you could carry it through Customs for me? Under your robes perhaps?”
“I would love to help you, dear, but I must warn you: I will not lie.”
“With your honest face, Father, no one will question you.”
When they got to Customs, she let the priest go ahead of her.
The official asked, “Father, do you have anything to declare?
“From the top of my head down to my waist, I have nothing to declare.”
The official thought this answer strange, so asked, “And what do you
have to declare from your waist to the floor?”
“I have a marvelous little instrument designed to be used on a woman, but which is, to date, unused.”
Roaring with laughter, the official said, “Go ahead, Father… Next!”
Think before you speak!
A woman executive was golfing with her boss and two clients. One of the men asked if she had any golf tips he cold pass on to his wife to improve her game. Her mind on the game she responded without thinking, “I like playing with men’s balls, she might want to try it.”
We never forget!
My sister and I were at the mall and passed by a store that sold a variety of candy and nuts. As we were looking at the display case, the boy behind the counter asked if we needed any help. My sister replied, “No, I’m just looking at your nuts.” I started to laugh hysterically; the boy grinned; and my sister turned beet-red and walked away (no sense of humor). To this day, I’ve never let her forget it.
Have a safe and wonderful weekend; I’ll see you on Monday!
