Editors Humour.
I was waiting at a small train station when a man put up a sign regarding my train: “30-Minute Delay.”
“What happened?” I asked.
“The train went off the rails,” he said.
“How long will that take to fix?”
“Quite a few hours.”
“So why put up a sign saying it would take 30 minutes?”
“It’s the only sign we have.”

My friend Garrick had the solution to forgetting his wife’s birthday and their wedding anniversary: He opened an account with a local florist and provided it with both dates as well as instructions to send flowers and a card signed “Your loving husband, Garrick.”
For a few years, it worked. Then one day, Garrick came home on their wedding anniversary. He saw the flowers on the dining room table and said, “What nice flowers. Where did you get them?”

A nurse in a hospital’s children’s ward one night while at the nurses’ station heard a little boy in his room talking.
He kept the patter up for some time. Finally, she got on the intercom and said softly but firmly, “All right, Johnny, it’s time to go to sleep now.”
There was quiet in the room, and then he said, “OK, God, I will.”
She didn’t hear a peep from him until morning.
