When Bob Hope died, he went to heaven, where Saint Peter gave him the standard tour from the streets of gold to the tree of life. After it was over, Saint Peter asked Bob Hope if he had any questions.
Bob Hope answered, "Just 2 questions; first what do you do all day in heaven?"
Saint Peter answered, "Well, we sit around and remember all the good things that happened on Earth. As for the unfortunate people who went to the other place, they have to sit around and remember all the bad things that happened on Earth."
"Interesting!", said Bob Hope, "My second question is; what are those large round metal structures at the top of the hill?"
Saint Peter replied, "Tanks."
"Tanks?", said Bob Hope
"Yes," said Saint Peter, "Tanks for the memories."
...A young farm boy from Montgomery AL moved to Miami FL and went to a huge "everything under one roof department store" looking for a job.
The Manager says, 'Do you have any sales experience?'
The kid says , 'Yeah. I was a salesman back in Montgomery.'
Well, the boss liked the kid and gave him the job.'You start tomorrow. I'll come down after we close and see how you did.'
His first day on the job was rough, but he got through it.
After the store was locked up, the boss came down. 'How many customers bought something from you today?'
The kid says 'one'.
The boss says, 'Just one? Our salespeople average 20 to 30 customers a day. How much was the sale for?'
The kid says, '$101,237.65.'
The boss says, '$101,237.65! What the heck did you sell?'
The kid says, 'First, I sold him a small fishhook.
Then I sold him a medium fishhook.
Then I sold him a larger fishhook.
Then I sold him a new fishing rod.
Then I asked him where he was going fishing and he said down the coast, so I told him he was going to need a boat, so we went down to the boat department and I sold him a twin engine Chris Craft.
Then he said he didn't think his Honda Civic would pull it, so I took him down to the automotive department and sold him that 4x4 Ford Expedition.'
The boss said, 'You mean to tell me that a guy came in here to buy a fish hook and you sold him a BOAT and a TRUCK?'
The farm boy said, 'No, the guy came in here to buy Tampons for his wife and I said, 'Dude, your weekend's SHOT -- you should go fishing !'
