* The personnel interviewer asked the job applicant: “What do you call all of these gaps in your work history?”  “Quality time.”

@ At the breakfast table one morning, my husband was bemoaning his poor record in the stock market. I in turn, was telling him about my latest diet, one of many that I had tried and failed.   “You know honey,” he said looking up from the stock market section of the newspaper, “You’re the only investment I have ever made that doubled.”

* For the first few months of her co-op job for the state of Georgia, my sister had nothing to do, so she surfed the web or did crossword puzzles. One day she expressed her boredom to a coworker. “I know,” he complained. “Everyone thinks that government workers have it easy, but there’s only so much you can pretend you’re doing.”
