ALL in a Day's WORK

Saving for a new car on a teacher's salary takes a long time.

- 

So in the meantime, I borrowed a beater from a friend. The paint was peeling, and the body was so dented that its dents had dents. And yet, it ran.

One day, I left the school to find a police officer and a woman examining my car.

"What's going on?" I asked.

"I saw this woman hit your car," said the officer. "But I can't figure out where."

Coworker: (on phone) For a turtle? No, ma'am, we only have those for cats and dogs ... I've never heard of that, but if they exist, we don't carry them ... I'm a cashier, I'm not allowed to make those kinds of decisions ... OK, you're welcome. (hangs up phone)

Me: Did she want a pet carrier for a turtle?

Coworker: Yeah, and when I told her that we don't have them, she asked if we would carry them if she invented one.
