"A Very Cheap Motel"
One night at an economy motel, I ordered a 6 a.m. wake-up
call. The next morning, I awoke before 6, but the phone
did not ring until 6:30. "Good morning," a young man said
sheepishly. "This is your wake-up call."
Annoyed, I let the hotel worker have it. "You were supposed
to call me at 6 AM!.... I complained. "What if I had a million-
dollar deal to close this morning, and your oversight made
me miss out on it?"
"Well, sir," the desk clerk quickly replied, "if you had
a million-dollar deal to close, you probably wouldn't be
staying in this motel!"

"Stranded in the Desert"
A man's off road vehicle breaks down in the middle
of the Mojave desert. It's the middle of summer, and
the area is not named "Death Valley" for nothing, so
he decides to hike out. By the time he finally reaches
even a dirt road, he is on his last legs and dying of thirst.
Up ahead he spots a roadside stand and a shack. He
gets to his feet and stumbles up to the stand.
"Water!" he croaks.
The owner of the stand smiles. "Hey, I don't sell water.
My brother, he sells bottled water in the shack next door.
I sell ties...... Wanna buy a tie?"
"No, I need water," the dying man says. So he drags
himself over to the door of another shack, hauls himself
up on his feet, and starts to walk in, when the shack
owner, stops him.
"Sorry, you can't get in here without a tie!"
