    A manager sits in his office when he hears a knock on the door. At that moment, a brilliant idea strikes him! He will give that individual a very distinct impression that he is a "big wheel" in the company.:suss: "Come in!" he says as he quickly grabs the phone. A man enters as the manager "continues" his telephone conversation: "Well Mr. President, you know I would love to have lunch with you on Friday but I promised the Governor that I would go play golf with him. Maybe next Tuesday? Sure thing! It was a pleasure chatting with you!" The manager hangs up the phone and turn around to face the man. "How can I help you?" he asks. The man smiles and says: "I'm here to replace your broken telephone!" :-D

    The mind is like a parachute. It doesn’t work unless it’s open.

                You must have misremembered that. I just googled for "I'm here to replace your broken telephone" and the only hit was Richard's post! :-D

                      Thank you Henry my friend! Don't you just love it when your original post gets spun off into a completely different topic? :rolleyes: Some of these guys should have chosen politics as a career!

                              Not possible! The Joke Emoticon came some time after the internet and without a joke icon some people are unable to differentiate twixt statements and jokes.
