"Identifying Slogans"
A professor was giving a lecture on company
slogans in a college advertising and marketing
class.
"Joe," he asked, "which company has the slogan,
'Come fly the friendly skies'?"
"United." Joe answered.
"Brenda, can you tell me which company has
the slogan, "Don't leave home without it?"
Brenda answered the correct credit card company
with no difficulty.
"Now John, tell me who uses the slogan --
'Just do it'?"
John thought for a moment, then answered,
"Er... My mom."

"Hallelujah!"
A college drama group presented a play in which one
character would stand on a trap door and announce, "I
descend into hell!" A stagehand below would then pull
a rope, the trapdoor would open, and the character
would plunge through. The play was well received.
When the actor playing the part became ill, another actor,
who was quite overweight, took his place. When the new
actor announced, "I descend into hell!" the stagehand
pulled the rope, and the actor began his plunge, but
became hopelessly stuck. No amount of tugging on the
rope could make him descend. One student in the
balcony jumped up and yelled: "Hallelujah! Hell is full!"
