Misspelling gainfully - An old story

Here is an old story on spelling.

On a hot summer day...

Customer: Excuse me, but the sign on the window is spelt wrong. It should say "Fresh ice-cream sold here", and not "Freesh ice-cream sold bere".
Shopkeeper: Yes sir, you are absolutely correct. We have four different flavors (flavours) available, vanilla, peach, strawberry and chocolate.
Customer: I'll take a double scoop of vanilla please. My it's so hot outside.
Shopkeeper: Here you are, please come again.

Shopkeeper (afterwards, to his son sitting nearby): That's the twentieth customer today, who came in just to point out the spelling mistake, and bought some ice-cream. You see son, sometimes a deliberate spelling mistake can draw a lot of attention and increase sales!

Mices

Two mice met behind a toaster in a Columbia household. "It's been a long time." the first said. "How's everything ?"
"Great !" the second replied. "I have three brothers in pharmaceutical testing and a sister in heart research."

Poor people!

Once ... in the wilds of Afghanistan, I lost my corkscrew, and we were forced to live on nothing but food and water for days. -- W. C. Fields, "My Little Chickadee"

Lost

An exhausted hunter out in the wilds stumbled into a camp. "Am I glad to see you." he said. "I've been lost for three days."
"Don't get too excited friend." the other hunter replied. "I've been lost for three weeks."

Get Out, And Never Come Back

A business owner decides to take a tour around his business and see how things are going. He goes down to the shipping docks and sees a young man leaning against the wall doing nothing.

The owner walks up to the young man and says, "Son, how much do you make a day?"

The guy replies, "150 dollars."

The owner pulls out his wallet, gives him $150, and tells him to get out and never come back.

A few minutes later the shipping clerk says to the boss, "Have you seen that UPS driver? I left him standing around here?"

Doctor's Orders

A 92 year-old man went to the doctor to get a physical. A few days later the doctor saw the man walking down the street with a gorgeous young lady on his arm.

A couple of days later the doctor met him again, and said, "You're really doing great, aren't you? That was quite the gorgeous young lady I saw you with!"

The man replied, "Just doing what you said Doctor, 'Get a hot mamma and be cheerful.'"

The Doctor said, "I didn't say that. I said you got a heart murmur. Be careful."
