Zimmerman Fights On
After volunteering to fight for his country in WW II, Zimmerman joined
his unit and lined up for his uniform. As equipment was issued in strict
alphabetical order Zimmerman found himself at the back of the queue.
By the time he reached the desk all the uniforms had been issued.
There were none left. Zimmerman was issued with a badge that said
"soldier" in red letters."You didn't want a scratchy old uniform anyway,"
the quartermaster said.
"Join the line for your rifle."
Zimmerman joined the back of the rifle queue. When he reached the front
Zimmerman found that all the rifles had been distributed and then,
once again, there were none left.
"You don't want to kill people anyway," said the quartermaster. "I'll
issue you with a stick and you can shout Bang Bang!" "Thank you,"
said Zimmerman, and joined the queue for bayonets.
Once again, on reaching the desk Zimmerman was disappointed. The
quartermaster issued him with a lollipop stick with the advice that he
should shout "Sticky-sticky" when using it.....And so on.
Within weeks Zimmerman found himself on the front lines
shouting "Bang-bang" for all he was worth. On his second day the
German enemy began a mass advance. One by one Zimmerman's unit
were killed or wounded until only Zimmerman himself remained standing.
"Bang-bang!" he shouted, and was amazed to see his German foes still
falling. Soon they began to overwhelm his trench and Zimmerman began
to stab wildly with his lollipop stick. "Sticky-sticky.
Sticky-sticky." Astoundingly it worked.
The enemy were dying at his feet. The survivors began to retreat.
All, that is, with the exception of one man who was only half way
across no-man's land and was still advancing slowly.
Zimmerman took careful aim with his stick-rifle and calmly
said; "Bang-Bang." The enemy soldier continued his advance.
"Bang-bang, bang-bang, bangedy-bang-bang-bang," Zimmerman
yelled frantically. Still he came. Before he could reach the trench
Zimmerman leapt up and ran at him with the lollipop stick. "Sticky-sticky,
he said. And then added "Stab-stab-stab," for good measure.
The enemy soldier refused to die and stared at Zimmerman defiantly.
By now Zimmerman had had enough. "Wait a minute, " he said.
"When I shouted 'Bang' your comrades died, but not you. When I
engaged them in hand-to-hand combat with my lollipop stick they
fell over dead, but not you. What gives?"
....."I'm a tank, " said Herr Zanker.

Cheap Abe
As he was walking around, he noticed what was
previously an expensive glass crystal vase lying in
the corner. It was in 3 pieces. After some haggling
with the owner, Abe bought the broken vase for $2.
He then filled in the congratulations card, wrote out his
niece's name and address and gave the owner another $3
so that the broken vase could be gift wrapped and
mailed. Abe then left the shop feeling quite pleased
with himself. He expected his niece to think the vase
had broken in the mail.
A few days later, he called his niece to see if the
present had arrived.
"Yes, Uncle Abe, but unfortunately, it was in 3 pieces
when it was delivered."
"What terrible luck." said Abe, "The Post Office is
getting worse all the time."
"It's really a shame," she replied. "It was so beautifully
wrapped. Each piece separately."
