While fishing off the Florida coast, a tourist capsized his boat.
He could swim but his fear of alligators kept him clinging to the overturned craft.
Seeing an old man standing on the shore, the tourist shouted,
“Are there any alligators round here?”
“No,” the old man answered. “They haven’t been around for years!”
Feeling safe, the tourist started swimming leisurely towards the shore.
About halfway, he asked the old man,
“How did you get rid of the alligators?”
“We didn’t do anything,” was the answer. “The sharks got them.”
Asking for a High Salary
Rossi was the manager of an upscale men’s wear store in a wealthy section of town and was interviewing Abe for the recently advertised salesman role.
Rossi looks at Abe’s resume and notices that Abe has never worked in retail before.
“What chutzpah, if you don’t mind me saying. For someone with no retail experience, you are certainly asking for a high salary.”
“Well I suppose I am,” Abe replies, “but you must understand that the work is so much harder when you don’t know what you’re doing …”
