The Comb Torture

"The Comb Torture"

A salesman was demonstrating unbreakable
combs in a department store. He was
impressing the people who stopped by to look
by putting the comb through all sorts of torture and stress.

Finally to impress even the skeptics in the crowd,
he bent the comb completely in half, and it
snapped with a loud crack.

Without missing a beat, he bravely held up both
halves of the 'unbreakable' comb for everyone
to see and said, "And this, ladies and gentlemen,
is what an unbreakable comb looks like on the inside."

"Tickled to Death"

An influential Londoner wound up a business trip
to the Orient with a visit to Taipei. At a luncheon he
was asked to say a few words. Since he spoke
not a word of Chinese, his address was to be
translated by an interpreter sentence by sentence.

"I want you to know," he began, "I'm tickled to
death to be asked here today."

A look of panicked confusion appeared on the interpreter's face.
"This poor man," he said in Chinese, "Scratches himself until he dies,
only to be with you today."
