"Flying"
A man decides to join the circus. He shows up
to demonstrate his skills to the impresario.
"I have the most unusual act," he announces.
"I'm sure it will amaze you."
He proceeds to climb a tall tower, and jumps off.
He flaps his arms wildly, and finally his fall slows.
He soars forward, then swoops upward, turns
and swoops back again. Finally, he stops in mid
air and gently lowers himself to the ground.
The impresario stares blankly at him for a long time.
Finally he says, "Is that all you've got? Bird imitations?"

"The Garden Party"
A wealthy woman is giving a garden party, and
several well-to-do guests attend. While the party
ensues, two gardeners are out on the back lawn
working. One of the guests was watching the
gardeners do their thing, and while one gardener
was busy weeding the other jumped up and did
graceful swirling dance movements.
Taken by his grace, the guest remarked to the host,
"That man is such a talented dancer, that I'd pay
him a hundred pounds to demonstrate his dancing
before my aerobics class!"
When the host asked the first gardener about such
an arrangement, he yelled, "Hey Fred! Do you think
for a hundred pounds you could step on that rake again?"
