One can’t cheat the other!

“Ok, Sam”, said one business man to his partner as they were about to enter the ocean at Coney Island on the afternoon they had decided to take off, “we forgot to close the safe!”

“What does it matter?” asked his partner.

“We are both here, ain’t we?”

Max Brothers

The father of the Max Brothers was a tailor who operated, at one time, a business in Queens.  Marx was a much liked and very nice man, but the suits he made did not always fit. He entered, therefore, into a partnership with a very skilful Negro tailor under the firm name of Marx and Washington.

Employment Anecdotes

Unsteady hands led to a Steady Job!

A butter fingered man who had been suffering from a long siege of unemployment at last found a job in a China warehouse. He had been at work only a few days when he smashed a large vase. He was summoned to the manager s office and told by that dignitary that he would have to have money deducted from his wages every week until the vase was paid for.

“How much did it cost?”, asked the culprit.

“Three hundred dollars”, said the manager.

“Oh, that is wonderful”, he said.

“I am happy. At last I have a steady job”.

Suicidal Note!

In Paris a young man named Arsene hanged himself at his master’s home. He left a memorandum bewailing his hard lot, and beseeching his parents to erect a simple tombstone to his memory with the inscription

“Born to be a man—died a grocery clerk”.

More Hiring and Firing Anecdotes

(Some time ago I posted some Firing and Hiring anecdotes).

A personnel manager found himself confronted with a real problem. He had explained to the applicant that he couldn’t place him because the firm was over staffed.

“That is alright”, said the job seeker, “the little bit of work I would do wouldn’t be noticed”.
