Negotiations between union members and their employer were
at an impasse. The union denied that their workers were
flagrantly abusing the sick-leave provisions set out by their
contract.

One morning at the bargaining table, the company's chief
negotiator held aloft the morning edition of the newspaper,
"This man," he announced, "called in sick yesterday!"

There on the sports page, was a photo of the supposedly ill
employee, who had just won a local golf tournament with an
excellent score.

A union negotiator broke the silence in the room.

"Wow!" he said. "Just think of what kind of score he could have
had if he hadn't been sick!"

The bride said she wanted three children, while the young
husband said two would be enough for him.

They discussed this discrepancy for a few minutes until the
husband thought he'd put an end to things by saying boldly,
"After our second child, I'll just have a vasectomy."

Without a moments hesitation, the bride retorted, "Well, I
hope you'll love the third one just as if it's your own."
