April 24 Humor

 # As a salesman in a photo supply store I was demonstrating a telescope to a 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.”

 + 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.”

 + My husband, Tom, is very proud of his high school and college French, but he never had the chance to use it until our trip to Canada. Driving into Montréal, we were trying to find the Immaculate Conception Seminary, but very shortly we became lost. My husband spied a lone figure on the street corner and pulled over to ask directions. Clearing his throat, Tom said, “Pardon, Monsieur ouest le Seminaire deImmacule Consepcetion?” The man looked confused for a moment and then said, “I’m sorry, Mister, I don’t speak French.” Looking rather self-satisfied, Tom rolled up the window, sat back and announced, “he doesn’t speak French, so we will have to find someone else.”
