В качестве предисловия:
Квартира. Звонок по телефону:
- Здравствуйте, будьте добры Петрову.
- Здесь таких нет.
Вешают трубку. Через 5 минут звонок.
- Здравствуйте, будьте добры Петрову.
- Нет здесь таких!
Опять звонок через 5 минут, с той же просьбой и так до тех пор,
пока человек не доводится до белого каления.
Через 10 минут снова звонок.
- Здравствуйте. Я Петрова. Мне не звонили?
A man drove to New York on business but was
unable to find a hotel room that was free, so he
decided to park his car by Central Park and to
sleep in his car.
At 5am he was awoken by somebody knocking
on the car window. He opened it to see a jogger
standing there. The jogger asked, "Excuse me.
Could you tell me the time, please?" The man
looked at his watch and said, "It's 5am." The
jogger said thank you and ran off. The men went
back to sleep.
Fifteen minutes later the man was again awoken
by a jogger wanting to know the time. And again
at 5.30am, and at 5.45am!
The man was not very happy at being woken up
all the time and had an idea. He took a piece of
paper from his briefcase and wrote on it in big
letters, "I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS".
He put this sign on the window and fell asleep.
Fifteen minutes later he was awoken by a
jogger knocking on the window. The man
shouted, "What do you want?"
The jogger replied, "It's 6am".
