Funnies

A man dressed in pyjamas went up to the hotel
reception and asked for the key to room 402.
“I’m sorry, sir, the room’s taken,” came the reply.
“I know it is,” replied the man impatiently, “it’s mine. I
just fell out of the window!”

~~~~~~~~
A man drove too fast down a country lane, skidded on
some black ice and ended up in a ditch. Fortunately, a
farmer appeared moments later, leading a big black
horse. When he saw the man’s predicament, he
offered to help.
“If we tie a rope around the car, I think old Black Bess
here will be able to help get it out.”
So they tied the rope from the horse to the car and the
farmer shouted,
“Come on Starlight, pull as hard as you can!” but the
horse didn’t move.
Then the farmer shouted,
“Come on Silky, one, two, three. Pull!”
But still the horse didn’t move. So for a third time the
farmer yelled,
“OK, Dobbin, pull now.”
Nothing happened. Then he called,
“Go on Black Bess, my beauty, pull hard.”
This time, the horse took the strain and slowly pulled
the car out of the ditch. The motorist was very
grateful but also a little puzzled.
“Don’t mind me asking,” he said, “but why did you call
the horse by all those different names?”
“Well, it’s like this,” explained the farmer. “Old Black
Bess is blind and if she thought she was the only one
pulling, she’d never have bothered trying.”
