HAVE A LAUGH

THE PROPOSAL

AN IRISHMAN proposed to his girlfriend on Saint Patrick’s Day and gave her a ring with a synthetic diamond.

On learning it wasn’t real she protested vehemently about his cheapness.

He explained that in honor of Saint Patrick’s Day, he picked her a sham-rock.

HARD QUESTIONS

PREPARING my son for his first day of kindergart­en, we were reviewing numbers and counting. Suddenly he asked, “What is the biggest number in the world?”

As briefly as possible, I tried to explain the concept of infinity. I thought I had done pretty well, but then he said, “Dad, what number comes just before infinity?”

TYPICAL HR

“I PROPOSED to my girlfriend last night, who just got promoted to a HR position earlier in the day.”

“That is cool! What did she say?”

She said, “We will get back to you soon.”

DRINK CHOICE

Q: What is a soprano’s favorite drink growing up?

A: High-C!

LITERAL INTERPRETA­TION

A BLONDE was on board a small two seater plane when suddenly the pilot clutched his chest and died.

Not knowing how to fly a plane she grabbed the radio.

“Mayday, mayday! My pilot just died!”

Ground control received her call for help and answered back: “Don’t worry, madam. I’ll talk you down, just do as I say. First I need you to give me your height and position.”

“I’m 158cm and sitting in the front.”
