Working at the post office, I'm used to dealing with a moody public. So when one irate customer stormed my desk, I responded in my calmest voice, "What's the trouble?"
"I went out this morning," she began, "and when I came home I found a card saying the mailman tried to deliver a package but no one was home. My husband was in all morning. He never heard a thing!"
After apologizing, I got her parcel.
"Oh, good," she gushed. "We've been waiting for this for ages."
"What is it?" I asked.
"My husband's new hearing aid."

As he was approaching the teller's window at his bank, a man tripped and careened forward. Fortunately, he caught himself before he fell.
"Apparently, sir," the teller said, "you came here to get your balance."

I wanted to store some decorations in the garage, but there wasn't much empty space. So I asked my son to make some room. Being a typical teen, he had to be asked a few times. Eventually, he dragged himself from the couch to the garage, but a few minutes later, he was back.
"I thought I asked you to make some room in the garage," I said.
"I did," he replied. "I moved your car into the driveway."

I served with a guy who did a strange thing: He bounced an imaginary basketball wherever he went. Eventually, a psychiatrist labeled him unfit for duty, which led to a medical discharge. After the proceedings, he addressed the officer in charge.
"Sir, may I approach?"
With permission granted, he went through the motion of putting something on the officer's desk.
"What is this?" asked the officer.
"My basketball. I don't need it anymore."

One afternoon my mother went shopping and returned a few hours later with ten new dresses.
"Ten!" Dad hollered. "What could any woman possibly want with ten new dresses?"
Mom replied in a calm voice: "Ten new pairs of shoes."
