Count Me In

Took a walk around the neighbourhood.
Saw a woman sitting on a bench reading one of Anne Rice's earlier books.
I said to her; "Those books suck."
She looked at me for a second. Then she laughed and said: "I get it."
My work is done here, I thought to myself, and went home smiling.

Under Where?

Crossing University Avenue at Dundas noticed a couple in their 50's or so
standing on the corner looking at a map.
I went up to them and asked: "Are you lost?"
The man said: "We're looking for the Lake."
"It's that way" I replied, pointing south.
He said, with a grin, "We're from Australia. We were looking at the map
upside down."

The Cheque Republic

Went to the bank to deposit a cheque. Handed the cheque to the teller.
He accidentally dropped it. I asked: "Did it bounce?"
He didn't get the joke. Asked me if there was anything else I wanted.
I was going to say: "Yes. A teller with a sense of humour."
I did get what I wanted, though. Money in the bank and a anecdote for
my blog.
