It was the standard series of check-in questions that every traveler gets at the airlines counter, including,
“Has anyone put anything in your baggage without your knowledge?”
“If it was put there without my knowledge,” I asked, “how would I know?”
The agent behind the counter smiled smugly. “That’s why we ask.”
John noticed that Peter was looking depressed, and asked what was wrong.
“Well,” said Peter, “I ran afoul of one of those awkward questions women ask.
Now I’m in deep trouble at home.”
“What kind of question?” asked John.
“My wife asked me if I would still love her when she gets old, fat and wrinkly.”
“That’s easy,” said John. “You just say ‘Of course I will’.”
“Yeah,” said Peter, “That’s what I did, except I said ‘Of course I DO…”
Smart student!
There was a student who was desirous of taking admission for a study course.
He was smart enough to get through the written test, a GD and was to appear for the personal interview. Later, as the interview progressed, the interviewer found this boy to be bright since he could answer all the questions correctly. The interviewer got impatient and decided to corner the boy.
‘Tell me your choice.’ he said to the boy.
‘I shall either ask you ten easy questions or one real difficult. Think well before you make up your mind.’
The boy thought for a while and said, ‘My choice is one real difficult question.’
‘Well, good luck to you; you have made your own choice!
Tell me: What comes first, day or night?’
The boy was jolted first, but he thought for a while and said: ‘It’s the day, sir.’
‘How???’ the interviewer grinned. ‘At last, I got you!’ he said.
‘Sorry sir, you promised that you will not ask me a second difficult question!’
Admission for the course was thus secured!
