+ An American tourist stopped at an Inn in a small French village and ordered a couple of scrambled eggs for lunch. Afterward he noted that with astonishment he then charged five dollars apiece for the eggs and asked, “are eggs scarce here?”  “No, monsieur,” said the innkeeper. “Eggs are plentiful. But Americans, they are scarce.”

* “What is your occupation sir?”  “I used to be an organist.”  “And why did you give it up?”  “I had to, the monkey died.”

# As a salesman in a photo supply store I was demonstrating a telescope to customer who recently became interested in stargazing. I pointed out that he could attach his camera to this telescope and take pictures of his celestial findings. “That sounds great,” he said,  “but wouldn’t I need a really big flash.”
