"Hourly Rate"
A feisty 70 year old woman had to call a furnace
repairman. After a quick inspection the man put
some oil into the motor and handed her a $70 bill
for labor.
"Labor charges!" she exclaimed. "It only took you
five minutes."
The repairman explained that his company had
a minimum one-hour charge on every house call.
"Well, I want my remaining 55 minutes of labor,"
the lady responded, and she handed him a rake.
The repairman spent the next 55 minutes in her
yard bagging leaves.

"The Hearing Aid"
Seems an elderly gentleman had serious
hearing problems for a number of years. He
went to the doctor and the doctor was able
to have him fitted for a set of hearing aids
that allowed the gentleman to hear 100%.
The elderly gentleman went back in a month
to the doctor and the doctor said, "Your
hearing is perfect. Your family must be really
pleased that you can hear again."
To which the gentleman said, "Oh, I haven't
told my family yet. I just sit around and listen
to the conversations. I've changed my will
three times!"
