"Bidding"
Bidding at a local auction was proceeding
furiously when the auctioneer suddenly
announced, "A gentleman in this room has
lost a wallet containing $10,000. If it is returned,
he will pay a reward of $2,000."
There was a moment's silence, and then from
the back of the room came the cry, "Two
thousand five hundred!"

"Whatever Works"
I was going to bed the other night when my wife
told me that I had left the light on in the shed.
She could see from the bedroom window. As
I looked for myself, I saw that there were people
in the shed taking things.
I phoned the police, but they told me that no one
was in this area to help at this time, but they
would send someone over as soon as they were
available.
I said OK, hung up, and waited one minute, then
phoned the police back. "Hello. I just called you
a minute ago because there were people in my
shed. Well, you don't have to worry about them
now cause I've shot them all."
Within five minutes there were half a dozen police
cars in the area, an Armed Response unit, the
works. Of course, they caught the burglars red-
handed. One of the officers said: "I thought you
said that you'd shot them!"
I replied with, "I thought you said there was
nobody available!"
