Glasses for Work

"Nice Job"

My daughter Marina worked in my law office
while she attended graduate school. One
morning a call came in for her. I said she
wasn't in yet and offered to take a message.
The caller said she'd phone back later.

At 11:00 a.m., the caller tried again, and I
reported that Marina had gone to lunch.

The last call came in at 3:30 p.m. "I'm sorry,"
I said, "she's left for the day. May I take a
message?"

"Yes," the caller replied. "How can I get a job
with you?"

"Glasses for Work"

I came home from work last night exhausted.
I said to my wife, "I need my glasses checked.
I'm so nearsighted I nearly worked myself to death."

Perplexed, the wife asked, "What's being nearsighted
got to do with working yourself to death?"

"I couldn't tell whether the boss was watching me
or not, so I had to work the whole time!"
