A young man was playing golf on his own. He'd only recently started and wasn't much good at it. He got talking to an elderly man who was much better at it and they went round the course together, with the old chap giving him some useful tips.
At the 9th green the young guy found himself with a tough shot as there was a tall pine tree right between his ball and the green. The old chap told him "I've been here before, when I was your age, I'd just hit the ball right over the tree" The young guy swung hard and the ball bounced off the tree trunk and hit him on the knee.
"Ah" said the old bloke. "I suppose when I was your age the tree was only about three feet tall"
3 unemployed factory workers applied for jobs at a large food company. The boss interviewed them all and they got the jobs.
A bit later the foreman came by and said he didn't think it had been a good idea to take them on. He'd heard that the first man had snapped for no apparent reason at his last job. The second was said to have cracked up after severe mental stress. He was dubious about the third man who was the father of the other two, maybe these things ran in the family.
"It's ok" said the boss "Put them in our Cereal Division, snap, crackle and pop should be fine there"
