While taking a routine vandalism report at an elementary school, I was interrupted by a little girl, about six years old.

She looked me up and down in my uniform and asked, “Are you a cop?”

“Yes,” I replied, continuing to write my report.

“My mom said if I ever needed help, I should ask the police. Is that true?”

“Yes, that’s right,” I assured her.

“Well then,” she said, holding out her foot, “would you please tie my shoe?”

A couple decide they need a guard dog.

So the man goes to a pet shop and tells an employee, “I’m looking for a dog to protect our apartment.”

The employee smiles and says, “I’ve got the perfect dog for you,” then brings out a Chihuahua.

The man frowns. “I need a dog that can guard our place and scare off burglars. A Chihuahua can’t do that.”

“Oh, this isn’t an ordinary Chihuahua,” the employee says. “This is an attack Chihuahua. Let me show you.”

She points at a chair and commands, “Attack Chihuahua, chair!”

To the man’s amazement, the Chihuahua absolutely demolishes the chair, leaving nothing but splinters.

“Wow,” the man says, “but I still think we need a real guard dog.”

“Are you sure?” the employee replies. “Watch this. Attack Chihuahua, table!”

Once again, the Chihuahua completely destroys the table.

“Alright, alright,” the man says. “I’ll take it.”

When he brings the dog home, his wife is furious.

“Why on earth did you buy a Chihuahua?” she shouts.

“Because this is no ordinary Chihuahua,” he says proudly. “This is an attack Chihuahua!”

She rolls her eyes and snaps, “Attack Chihuahua, my ass!”

A couple invites their whole family over for Thanksgiving — hoping for a warm, joyful holiday together. But as guests arrive, one thing becomes painfully clear: their kids are running late… again.

The mother-in-law doesn’t hold back. “Ugh, your children — always late!” she mutters loudly, rolling her eyes.

Finally, everyone settles in — except no one dares challenge her when she claims the head of the table. Who wants to argue with Grandma on Thanksgiving?

Minutes tick by. The hungry mother-in-law starts grumbling again:
“Ugh, what’s with the food here? Why is everything always late?”

Just then — the couple emerges from the kitchen, proudly carrying the feast they’ve spent hours preparing (mostly cooked by the wife). Everyone digs in… and for a moment, peace reigns.

But halfway through dinner, the mother-in-law stands up dramatically:
“Ugh, I better start clearing these dishes so we can at least get dessert on time!”

And just as she rises — CRASH!
The giant wall clock above the table plummets down, smashing her chair into splinters — narrowly missing her by inches.

Silence. Shocked gasps. Then, under her breath, the bride mutters:
“Ugh… this clock… always late.”

Asking for a day off at work can seem simple at first.

So, you’re asking for a day off.
Let’s take a closer look at what that really means.

There are 365 days in a year.
However, there are 52 weeks, and you already get two days off each week.
As a result, that leaves 251 working days.

Each day, you spend about 16 hours away from work.
Because of this, you use up roughly 170 days a year.
Therefore, only 81 days remain.

In addition, you take 30 minutes each day for coffee breaks.
Over a year, that adds up to 23 days.
So now, just 68 days are left.

Furthermore, you take a one-hour lunch break every day.
As a result, another 46 days are gone.
This leaves only 22 days.

On top of that, you usually take two sick days per year.
Consequently, your available time drops to 20 days.

You also receive five public holidays each year.
Because of this, your working time is reduced to 15 days.

Finally, we generously give you 14 days of annual leave.
Therefore, only one working day remains for the entire year.

So, if you think you’re getting that day off…

You must be out of your mind.

As the interview wrapped up, the HR manager asked a freshly graduated MIT engineer, “What starting salary are you expecting?”

“About $125,000 a year,” the engineer replied, “depending on the benefits.”

The manager smiled. “How does five weeks’ vacation, fourteen paid holidays, full medical and dental, a retirement plan matching fifty percent of your salary, and a company car every two years—say, a red Corvette—sound?”

The engineer straightened up. “Wow… are you serious?”

The manager answered, “No—but you were the one who started it.”
