KallehI did it again!
My literalism does get me into some interesting situations! Just today I was ordering a salad for lunch and saw this sign: "Salad with Soup - $1.50 additional" You're all going to think I am a fool, as my son did, but I immediately thought, "Soup in the salad? That's ridiculous!" My son thought I was just pretending I was
that stupid, but I wasn't. Of course, very quickly I realized the meaning, but it was that split-second that was funny!

<Proofreader>Like the old man whose friends sdent a prostitute over as a birthday gift. She said, when he answered the door, "I'm here for super sex."
He thought about it and said, "I'll take the soup."

<Proofreader>My wife worked on the second floor of the zoo administration office as the Zoo Society's bookkeeper. One snowy day I had volunteered to take over for the zoo receptionist on the first floor while the regular receptionist took a day off.
That morning a well-dressed man came in and said, "I would like to speak to Brenda." I had just talked to zookeeper Brenda about five minutes earlier, so I told him she was in one of the buildings halfway across the zoo. He went out into the storm, returning snow-covered about fifteen minutes later saying, "I meant the 'Brenda' who works for the Zoo Society."
I sent him upstairs, not mentioning that that particular Brenda was my wife, whose name didn't occur to me.

Nope. I read Strunk and White, you know.
Funny, Proof!
