* At a pharmacy a woman asked to use the infant scale to weigh the baby she held in her arms. The clerk explained the device was broken, but said she would figure the infant’s weight by weighing the mother and the baby together on the adult scale. Then weighing the mother alone and subtracting the second amount from the first. “It won’t work”, countered the woman. “I’m not the mother, I’m the grandmother.”

# The regular gas station I go to, took away their free air hose and put in a machine that charged a quarter. I complained to the clerk that it was sad that they took away something that was free for years.  The clerk excused himself saying, “It’s not my fault, It’s inflation.”

# A kind hearted motorist saw a man on the side of the freeway with a flat tire. The stranded man had gotten the spare tire and his wife was standing behind him. As I approached you could see that man was dirt smudged and sweating. The woman stood right behind him was clean and prim and criticized everything he did. The motorist offered,  “Friend, I have changed some tires myself over the ears. Is there anything I can do to help?” The exasperated man said,”Yes, My wife is an expert too. If you can argue with her about how this should be done, then I an concentrate on changing this tire.”
