Stranded

"You Think You Have Problems?"

A little guy is sitting at a local bar just staring at his
drink for half an hour when this big trouble-making
truck driver sits down next to him, grabs his drink
and gulps it down in one swig. The poor little guy
starts crying.

"Come on man, I was just giving you a hard time,"
says the truck driver. "I'll buy you another drink. I just
can't stand to see a man crying!"

"This is the worst day of my life," says the little guy
between sobs. "I can't do anything right. I overslept
and was late to an important meeting, so my boss
fired me. When I went to the parking lot, I found my
car was stolen and I have no insurance. I grabbed
a cab home but, after the cab left, I discovered my
wallet was still in the cab.

At home I found my wife in bed with the gardener. So
I came to this bar trying to work up the courage to put
an end to my life, and then you show up and drink the
damn poison!"

"Stranded"

The shipwrecked mariner had spent several
years on a deserted island. Then one morning
he was thrilled to see a ship offshore and
a smaller vessel pulling out toward him.

When the boat grounded on the beach, the
officer in charge handed the marooned sailor
a bundle of newspapers and told him, "The
captain said to read through these and let
us know if you still want to be rescued."
