A famous world statesman wanted to be remembered so he
commissioned a special postage stamp which was to carry his picture. He
instructed his people to design it, stressing that it should be of
international quality.
The stamps were duly released and he was
delighted. However, within a few days of release of the stamp, he began
hearing complaints that the stamp was not sticking properly, and this made
him very annoyed.
He 'phoned the stamp makers and ordered them to
investigate the matter. They checked out the problem by visiting several
post offices, and then they reported back to the politician.
Their report said, 'There is nothing wrong with the quality of the stamp.
The problem is people are spitting on the wrong side.'
1) Jeremy, a tourist on
holiday from California, climbed out of his car in downtown Washington, DC.
He saw a man standing near the curb, and asked, 'Excuse me, I'm going
to be only a couple of minutes. Would you watch my car while I run into
this store?'
'What?' the man huffed bad temperedly. 'Do you
realise that I am a member of the United States Senate?'
'Well no,' Jeremy uttered,
'I
hadn't realised that. But listen, I'm really in a hurry so I'm going to have
to trust you anyway.'
2) Two political candidates were having a heated political debate.
Finally, one of them jumped up and yelled at the other, 'What about the
powerful interest that controls you?'

'You leave my wife out of this.'
3) Prime Minister George Brown was seen going to Homewood Interiors, a
small furniture store. He was surrounded by his bodyguards, and everyone
immediately took notice of the unusual sight. They looked closer and they
saw who it was. Everyone was in awe.
Why would Prime Minister Brown
visit his small shop. Surely, they all asked each other, he should have his
minions do it for him.
Finally, one man plucked up enough courage and
asked the Prime Minister, 'What are you doing in this little store of ours?'
To which George replied, 'Oh, everyone keeps telling me that I should get
a new cabinet.'
