A little boy was waiting on his mother to come out of a store. As he
waited, he was approached by a man who asked, "Son, can you tell me
where the Post Office is?"
The little boy replied, "Sure,...
just go straight down the street a couple of blocks and turn to your
right." the man thanked the boy kindly and said, "I'm the new Preacher
in town and I'd like for you to come to church on Sunday. I'll show you
how to get to Heaven."
The little boy replied with a chuckle, "YEAH right; you don't even know the way to the Post Office!"
Brothers Peter and Alfred Nussbaum were tailors and partners in the firm Nussbaum Brothers; and after many years they decided to Anglicize their names and henceforth the firm should be known as the Nuss Brothers.
After completing the legal paperwork, they informed the receptionist, Ethel, that from Monday on, she should answer the phone as "Nuss Brothers."
"I quit," said Ethel. "But why?", asked Peter, "the pay and benefits will be the same!"
"Yeah? Well YOU answer the phone then. I don't want to answer and find that the caller says he wants to speak with Mr. Nuss. Then I have to say "Yes Sir; which one? P-Nuss or A-Nuss?"
