A hunchback wandered into town one day. He stopped at a business, asked
for the owner, when he came out the hunchback said, "I need a job, need
a job, need a job." The owner looked at him and said, "I'm sorry, but I
have no openings." So the hunchback went a little further down the
street, walked into another business, asked for the owner, and said, "I
need a job, need a job, need a job." The owner said, "I'm sorry, I have
just hired someone." So, the hunchback went a little further down the
road, walked into another business and said, "I need a job, need a job,
need a job." The owner looked at him and said, "you know, most people
in this town won't hire hunchbacks, but I'll give you a shot. Here,
take this box of toothbrushes, go sell them all, and I'll give you a
job." "Thank you, thank you, thank you. I'll make you proud," said the
hunchback, took the box and left. | ||||||
The next morning, the shop owner showed up for work, and there was the
hunchback, with a fist-full of money. Shocked, the owner said, "I have
had those toothbrushes for five years and noone wanted them, you sold
them all?" "Yes," said the hunchback, "can I have a job?" "Of course,
my word is good," said the owner. "But I have to ask, how did you sell
them all in one day?" The hunchback smiled, "It was easy. I went over
to the park, set up a table with a bowl of chips and dip.
I hung a sign that said 'free chips and dip.' Someone would come up,
get a chip, dip it, eat it. Then they would spit it out and say, 'That
tastes like shit.' I would say, 'It is! Wanna buy a toothbrush?" | ||||||

this one was told to me by a friend in wyoming, Wes Connally... i'm not sure if he made it up or not, but i laughed for hours... of course, that MIGHT have been the tequila laughing... |

LEVEL 1:
It's 11:00 on a weeknight, you've had a few beers. You
get up to leave because you have work the next day and one of
your friends buys another round. One of your UNEMPLOYED friends.
Here at level one you think to yourself, "Oh come on, this is silly,
why as long as I get seven hours of sleep *snapping fingers*, I'm cool." | ||||||
LEVEL 2:
It's midnight. You've had a few more beers. You've just spent 20
minutes arguing against artificial turf. You get up to leave again,
but at level two, a little devil appears on your shoulder. And now
you're thinking, "Hey! I'm out with my friends! What am I working
for anyway? These are the good times! Besides, as long as I get five
hours sleep *snapping fingers*, I'm cool.". | ||||||
LEVEL 3:
One in the morning. You've abandoned beer for tequila. You've
just spent 20 minutes arguing FOR artificial turf. And now you're
thinking, "Our waitress is the most beautiful woman I've ever
seen!" At level three, you love the world. On the way to the bathroom you
buy a drink for the stranger at the end of the bar just because you
like his face. You get drinking fantasies. (like,"Hey fellas, if we
bought our own bar, we could live together forever. We could do
it. Jimmy, you could cook.") But at level three, that devil is a
little bit bigger....and he's buying. And you're thinking "Oh, come on,
come on now. As long as I get three hours sleep...and a complete
change of blood *snapping fingers*, I'm cool." | ||||||
LEVEL 4:
Two in the morning. And the devil is bartending. For last call, you
ordered a bottle of rum and a Coke. You ARE artificial turf! This
time on your way to the bathroom, you punch the stranger at the end of
the bar. Just because you don't like his face! And now you're
thinking, "Our busboy is the best looking man I've ever seen." You and
your friends decide to leave, right after you get thrown out, and one
of you knows of a... after hours bar. And here, at level four, you
actually think to yourself, "Well....as long as I'm only going to get
a few hours sleep anyway, I may as well....STAY UP ALL
NIGHT!!!! Yeah! That'd be good for me. I don't mind going to that
board meeting looking like Keith Richards. Yeah, I'll turn that around,
make it work for me. And besides, as long as I get 31 hours sleep
tomorrow *trying to snap fingers*, I'm cool. | ||||||
LEVEL 5: Five in the morning. after unsuccessfully trying to get your money back at the tattoo parlor ("But I don't even know anybody named Ruby!!!"), you and your friends wind up across the state line in a bar with guys who have been in prison as recently as... that morning. It's the kind of place where even the devil is going, "Uh, I gotta turn in. I gotta be in Hell at nine. I've got that brunch with Hitler, I can't miss that." At this point, you're all drinking some kind of thick blue liquor, like something from a Klingon wedding. A waitress with fresh stitches comes over, and you think to yourself, "Someday I'm gonna marry that girl!!" One of your friends stands up and screams, "WE'RE DRIVIN' TO FLORIDA!!!!!" and passes out. You crawl outside for air , and then you hit the worst part of level five... the sun. You weren't expecting that were you? You never do. You walk out of a bar in daylight, and you see people on their way to work, or jogging. And they look at you and they know. And they say... "Who's Ruby?" Let's be honest, if you're 19 and you stay up all night, it's like a victory, like you've beat the night, but if you're over 30, then that sun is like God's flashlight. We all say the same prayer then, "I swear, I will never do this again (how long?) as long as I live!" And some of us have that little addition, "and this time, I mean it!" | ||||||
