comes up to the Mexican border on his bicycle. He has two large bags over his shoulders.
The guard stops him and says, "What's in the bags?" "Sand," answered
Juan. The guard says, "We'll just see about that. Get off the bike." The guard
takes the bags and rips them apart; he empties them out and finds nothing in them but
sand. He detains Juan overnight and has thesand analyzed, only to discover that there is
nothing but pure sand in thebags The guard releases Juan, puts the sand into new bags,
hefts them ontothe man's shoulders, and lets him cross the border. A week later, the same
thing happens. The guard asks, "What have you got?" "Sand," says Juan.
The guard does his thorough examination and discovers that the bags contain nothing but
sand. He gives the sand back to Juan, and Juan crosses the border on his bicycle. This

one day and the guard meets him in a Cantina in Mexico. "Hey, Buddy," says the

Three men and a
fridge Three men were standing in line to get into heaven one day. Apparently it had been
a pretty busy day, though, so Peter had to tell the first one, "Heaven's getting
pretty close to full today, and I've been asked to admit only people who have had
particularly horrible deaths. So what's your story?" So the first man replies:
"Well, for a while I've suspected my wife has been cheating on me, so today I came
home early to try to catch her red-handed. As I came into my 25th floor apartment, I could
tell something was wrong, but all my searching around didn't reveal where this other guy
could have been hiding. Finally, I went out to the balcony, and sure enough, there was
this man hanging off the railing, 25 floors above ground! By now I was really mad, so I
started beating on him and kicking him, but wouldn't you know it, he wouldn't fall off. So
finally I went back into my apartment and got a hammer and starting hammering on his
fingers. Of course, he couldn't stand that for long, so he let go and fell -- but even
after 25 stories, he fell into the bushes, stunned but okay. I couldn't stand it anymore,
so I ran into the kitchen, grabbed the fridge and threw it over the edge where it landed
on him, killing him instantly. But all the stress and anger got to me, and I had a heart
attack and died there on the balcony." "That sounds like a pretty bad day to
me," said Peter, and let the man in. The second man comes up and Peter explains to
him about heaven being full, and again asks for his story. "It's been a very strange
day. You see, I live on the 26th floor of my apartment building, and every morning I do my
exercises out on my balcony. Well, this morning I must have slipped or something, because
I fell over the edge. But I got lucky, and caught the railing of the balcony on the floor
below me. I knew I couldn't hang on for very long, when suddenly this man burst out onto
the balcony. I thought for sure I was saved, when he started beating on me and kicking me.
I held on the best I could until he ran into the apartment and grabbed a hammer and
started pounding on my hands. Finally I just let go, but again I got lucky and fell into
the bushes below, stunned but all right. Just when I was thinking I was going to be okay,
this refrigerator comes falling out of the sky and crushes me instantly, and now I'm
here." Once again, Peter had to concede that it sounded like a pretty horrible death.
The third man came to the front of the line, and again the whole process was repeated.
Peter explained that heaven was full and asked for his story. "Picture this,"
says the third man, "I'm hiding naked inside a refrigerator..."

A few
months ago, there was an opening with the CIA for an assassin. Thesehighly classified
positions are hard to fill, and there's a lot oftesting andbackground checks involved
before you can even be considered for theposition.After sending some applicants through
the background checks, trainingandtesting, they narrowed the possible choices down to 2
men and a woman,butonly one position was available.The day came for the final test to see
which person would get the extremelysecretive job. The CIA men administering the test took
one of the mento alarge metal door and handed him a gun.We must know that you will follow
your instructions no matter what thecircumstances" they explained. "Inside this
room, you will find yourwifesitting in a chair. Take this gun and kill her."The man
got a shocked look on his face and said, "You can't be serious!Icould never shoot my
own wife!" "Well", says the CIA man, "You'redefinitelynot the right
man for this job then."So they bring the second man to the same door and hand him a
gun. "Wemustknow that you will follow instructions no matter what
thecircumstances", they explained to the second man. "Inside you will find your
wife sitting ina chair. Take this gun and kill her."The second man looked a bit
shocked, but nevertheless took the gun andwent inthe room. All was quiet for about 5
minutes, then the door opened.The man came out of the room with tears in his eyes. "I
tried to shoother, Ijust couldn't pull the trigger and shoot my wife. I guess I'm not
therightman for the job." "No" the CIA man replied, "You don't have
what ittakes.Take your wife and go home."Now they're down to the woman left to
test.Again they lead her to the same door to the same room and handed herthe samegun.
"We must be sure that you will follow instructions no matter whatthecircumstances,
this is your final test. Inside you will find yourhusbandsitting in a chair. Take this gun
and kill him."The woman took the gun and opened the door. Before the door even
closedallthe way, the CIA men heard the gun start firing. One shot after another for
13shots. They heard screaming, crashing, banging on the walls. This wenton forseveral
minutes, then all went quiet.The door opened slowly, and there stood the woman. She wiped
the sweatfromher brow and said "You guys didn't tell me the gun was loaded
withblanks! Ihad to beat him to death with the chair!"

A
Japanese company and an American company had a boat race; the Japanese won by a mile. The
Americans hired analysts to figure out what went wrong. They reported that the Japanese
had one person managing and seven rowing, while the Americans had seven managing and only
one rowing. The American company immediately restructured its team. Now they had one
senior manager, six managment consultants and one rower. In the rematch, the Japanese won
by two miles, so the American company fired the rower.
