Not So Helpful
The elevator in our building malfunctioned one day,
leaving several of us stranded. Seeing a sign that
listed two emergency phone numbers, I dialed the
first and explained our situation.
After what seemed to be a very long silence, the
voice on the other end said, "I don't know what
you expect me to do for you; I'm a psychologist."
"A psychologist?" I replied. "Your phone is listed
here as an emergency number. Can't you help us?"
"Well," he finally responded in a measured tone,
"how do you feel about being stuck in an elevator?"

While my parents were making their funeral
arrangements, the cemetery salesman pointed
out a plot that he thought they would like.
"You'll have a beautiful view of the swan pond,"
he assured them.
Dad wasn't sold. "Unless you're including a
periscope with my casket, I don't know how
I'm going to enjoy it."

After an enthusiastic recommendation from my
wife, I began listening to the audiobook version
of Frank McCourt's 'Teacher Man'.
"I love it, but his writing style is so disjointed,"
I complained. "He refers to characters I don't
know and introduces them a half hour later."
My wife was as confused as I was, but I soldiered
on, disoriented by the jumpy story line. It wasn't
until the end of the book that my dilemma was
explained - I had set the iPod to Shuffle.

Thanks for the chuckles! They were all good.

I like the shuffling ipod. Some books are better read that way.
