ALL in a Day's WORK

August/September 2025

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

ALL in a Day's WORK

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.”

—YEFIM M. BRODD Kirkland, WA

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’ma 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.

THE BEST MONEY I EVER SPENT

Deep Pockets - One Christmas, my wife, who seldom wears jewelry, wanted diamond earrings as her gift. I obliged but figured the little box would ruin the surprise, so I bought an inexpensive fleece jacket at a farm supply store and put the earring box in the pocket.
