Joke #13290

A well-dressed man with a suitcase hailed a cab in New York City and asked to be taken to Times Square, which was only a few blocks away.  The trip took a long time and after the cab passed the same buildings for the fourth time, the passenger said, “Hey!  What’s the big idea?  This trip should have taken ten minutes not two hours.”

“Sorry,” apologized the cabby, “but it’s your own fault.  Why do you go around dressed like a tourist when you’re really a native New Yorker?”

Joke #12981

A lady in San Francisco was entertaining a friend when the telephone rang.  She answered it, giggled shrilly, said, “Sure is!” and hung up.  A moment later the phone rang again.  And again she answered it, laughed even louder, and exclaimed, “Sure is!” and hung up.

The friend was puzzled.  “What’s going on there?” she asked.

“Strangest thing,” explained the lady.  “Some fool person on that phone called up just to say ‘Long distance from New York.’ So I said, ‘Sure is!’ and hung up!”
