A woman phoned the dry cleaners saying that the designer label was missing from her dress's neckband. Assuring her that they would look for it, the owner spent the whole afternoon searching the shop. Finally, he found the label in a trash bin. He cleaned and pressed it, and dropped it off at the customer's home. "Oh, thank you," she gushed. "I'm having a garage sale tomorrow and I can always charge a few dollars more for a dress with a label on it."

The neighbor dropped in on a friend and found her sitting at the kitchen table, staring blankly at a half-empty cup of coffee; her three kids squabbling loudly in the other room. "What's wrong, Marge?" she asked. Marge told her that she had "morning sickness". Surprised the neighbor said, "I didn't even know you were pregnant." - "I'm not," the harried woman replied. "I'm just damn sick of mornings."

Watching her mother as she tried on her new mink coat, the daughter protested: "Mom, do you realize some poor, dumb beast suffered so you could have that coat?" Her mother glared back at her and said, "Don't you dare talk about your father that way!"
