Don’t mess with the native! The banker pulled out the loan application. “What are you going to do with the money?” he asks the native. “Buy silver, make jewelry, and sell it,” was the response. “What have you got for collateral?”

The banker pulled out the loan application.

“What are you going to do with the money?” he asks the native.

“Buy silver, make jewelry, and sell it,” was the response.

“What have you got for collateral?”

“Don’t know collateral,” replied the native

“Well, that’s something of value that would cover the cost of the loan. 

“Have you got any vehicles?”

“Yes, 1949 Chevy pickup,” replied the native

The banker shook his head, “How about livestock?”

“Yes, I have a horse,” replied the native

“How old is it?” the banker asks.

“Don’t know, has no teeth,” replies the Indian

Finally, the banker decided to make the $500 loan.

Several weeks later, the man was back in the bank. 

He pulled out a roll of bills, “Here to pay.” he said.  

He then handed the banker the money to pay his loan off.

“What are you going to do with the rest of that money?” the banker asks.

“Put in hogan”, replied the native

“Why don’t you deposit it in my bank,” the banker asked.

“Don’t know deposit,” replied the native

“You put the money in our bank and we take care of it for you. 

Whenever you want to use it, you can withdraw it.”

The man leaned across the desk and asks the banker...

“What you got for collateral?”

We’re so alike!

While I sat in the reception area of my doctor’s office, a woman rolled an elderly man in a wheelchair into the room. As she went to the receptionist’s desk, the man sat there, alone and silent.

Just as I was thinking I should make small talk with him, a little boy slipped off his mother’s lap and walked over to the wheelchair.  Placing his hand on the man’s, he said, “I know how you feel. My mom makes me ride in the stroller too.”

What not to say in the workplace

I’ll try being nicer if you try being smarter.

I have plenty of talent and vision. I just don’t care.

I’m not being rude. You’re just insignificant.

I will always cherish the initial misconceptions I had about you.

It might look like I’m doing nothing, but at the cellular level, I’m really quite busy.

I don’t have an attitude problem. You have a perception problem.
