New
York Humor
Doesn't
Want to Move to New York
A man was telling
his co-worker one day that the company was transferring him to New York.
He explained that he was going to quit before he had to move there.
When asked why, he replied that he was just too afraid of all the
crime even though he would be passing up a big salary increase and greater
benefits.
His co-worker urged him to reconsider pointing out that New York is a
magnificent city, with world class museums, Broadway, Central Park, the
Statue of Liberty, the United Nations, outstanding dining, etc.
Then he added, "Why I myself worked in New York for almost 10 years,
and in all that time I never ever had a problem with crime while I was
working."
"What did you do there?"
"I was tail-gunner on a bread truck."

Proud
to be a Mets Fan
A first grade teacher
explains to her class that she is a Yankee fan. She asks her students
to raise their hands if they were Yankee fans also. Not really knowing
what a Yankee fan is, but wanting to be just like their teacher, their
hands exploded into the air like fleshy fireworks
There is, however, one exception, a boy names Colin, who did not go along
with the crowd. The teacher asks him why he has decided to be different.
"Because I'm not a Yankee fan."
The teacher asks, "What are you?"
"Why, I'm proud to be a Mets fan," boasts the little boy. The
teacher is a little perturbed now, her face slightly red. She asks Colin
why he is a Mets fan.
"Well, my dad and my mom are Mets fans, so I'm a Mets fan too."
The teacher now becomes angry. "That's no reason," she says
loudly. "What if you mom was a moron and your dad was a moron?
What would you be then?"
"Well," says Colin, "then I'd be a Yankee fan!"

four men waiting to cross the street: a Saudi, a Russian, a North Korean
and a resident New Yorker.

The Russian said, "Excuse me, but what is meat?"
The North Korean replied, "Excuse me, but what is an opinion?"

A
Blonde Takes Out a Loan for $5,000
A blonde
walks into a bank in New York City and asks for the loan officer. She
says she's going to Europe on business for two weeks and needs to borrow
$5,000. The bank officer says the bank will need some kind of security
for the loan, so the blonde hands over the keys to a new Rolls Royce.
The car is parked on the street in front of the bank, she has the title
and everything checks out. The bank agrees to accept the car as collateral
for the loan. The bank's president and its officers all enjoy a good laugh
at the blonde for using a $250,000 Rolls as collateral against a $5,000
loan. An employee of the bank then proceeds to drive the Rolls into the
bank's underground garage and parks it there.
Two weeks later, the blonde returns, repays the $5,000 and the interest,
which comes to $15.41. The loan officer says, "Miss, we are very
happy to have had your business, and this transaction has worked out very
nicely, but we are a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked you
out and found that you are a multimillionaire. What puzzles us is, why
would you bother to borrow $5,000?"
The blonde replies, "Where else in New York City can I park my car
for two weeks for only $15.41 and expect it to be there when I return?"

It's Been Over Five Years Since I Came
Here
An out-of-towner
in New York at the height of the tourist season decided to revisit an
uptown restaurant he'd enjoyed on a previous trip to the city.
Finally catching
the eye of an overworked waiter, he said, "You know, it's been over
five years since I first came in here."
"I'm
sorry, but you'll have to wait your turn, sir," replied the waiter
with typical New York charm. "I can only serve one table at a time."
