I was about to start the washing machine in the laundry
room of my coop building when I noticed that the change
was already in place. Raising my eyebrows, I started the
machine. A few minutes later a woman walked in and
attended the other two machines. I met her earlier today.
In broken English, she told me that she worked as a
cleaning woman for one of my neighbors.
"Did you put your change in that machine?" I asked her,
motioning to my happily-twirling washing machine.
"Yes," she said, somewhat apprehensively.
"Then I owe you money!" I was already reaching for my
change purse.
"Thank you! Thank you very much!!"
Reading surprisingly deep gratitude in her eyes, I realized
that she didn't expect me to return her money. She didn't
expect me to be honest! Isn't unsettling that we live in a
world in which a basic honesty is not expected?

This has been an intermittent appearance of "LadyHawke's
Reflections." Do you like it? Hate it? Couldn't care less?
Would like it to become a semi-regular feature of Joke du
Jour? Would like me to stick to my 2-3 lines editorial
comments? Would like me to drop my comments
altogether? (Ha! That's not really an option.) Realize that
Joke du Jour strives to be MORE than just another humor list.
To let me know, please send a short (!!!) answer to
<IAMystery@USA.net>. Thank you!

I didn't know men could predict rain that way. Hmmm...
The hidden abilities of men...

"Hanging Laundry"
Three women always hang their laundry out in the backyard.
When it rains, however, the laundry always gets wet. All the
laundry, that is, except for Sophie's. The other two women
wonder why Sophie never has her laundry out on the days
that it rains.
So one day, they are all out in the backyard putting their
clothes on the line when one of the women says to Sophie,
"Say, how come when it rains, your laundry is never out?"
"Well," says Sophie, "when I wake up in the morning, I look
over at Saul. If his penis is hanging over his right leg, I know
it's going to be a great day, and I can hang out the wash. If
his penis is hanging over his left leg, I know it's going to rain,
so I don't hang out the wash."
"What if he has an erection?" asks one of the women.
"Honey," says Sophie, "Who on Earth wants to do laundry
on a day like that?"

WHAT A WOMAN SAYS:
Cmon...This place is a mess!
You and I need to clean.
Your pants are on the floor,
and you'll have no clothes
if we don't do laundry now!
WHAT A MAN HEARS:
C'MON....blah, blah, blah
YOU AND I blah, blah, blah
blah, blah ON THE FLOOR
blah, blah, blah, NO CLOTHES
blah, blah, blah, blah, NOW!
