Not that my wife’s the jealous type or anything, but one day at work, I had taken this temp who was filling in for my secretary to lunch in gratitude for an outstanding job on a very difficult project. As luck would have it, there was my wife waiting in the office for my return. The temp, who was truly a ravishing beauty said, “Oh, Mrs. Moore, I’m so happy to meet you.

No flight ever leaves on time unless you are running late and need thedelay to make the flight.If you are running late for a flight, it will depart from the farthestgate within the terminal.If you arrive very early for a flight, it inevitably will be delayed.Flights never leave from Gate #1 at any terminal in the world.If you must work on your flight, you will experience turbulence as soon asyou touch pen to paper. Or start to drink your coffee.If you are assigned a middle seat, you can determine who has the seats onthe aisle and the window while you are still in the boarding area.

On a drive in the country, a city slicker noticed a farmer lifting a pig up to an apple tree and holding the pig there as it ate one apple after another.”Maybe I don’t know what I’m talking about,” said the city slicker, “but if you just shook the tree so the apples fell to the ground, wouldn’t it save a lot of time?

“”Time?

” said the farmer. “What does time matter to a pig?
