The new thermos
A man walks into a store and saw a thermos. The clerk walks up to him and asks, “May I help you with anything?”
“Yeah! What is that?”
“That’s a thermos.”
“What’s it do?”
“It keeps things hot and it keeps things cold!”
“I’ll take it.”
The next day the man goes to work carrying this thermos. His co-workers ask him, “What’s that?”
“It’s a thermos.”

Birthday present for daughter
One day a fella was driving home when he suddenly realized that it was his daughter’s birthday. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a shopping mall. Knowing that it was now or never, he pulled his car through three lanes of traffic, found a parking bay and ran into the mall.
After a frantic search, he found a toy store, went inside and attracted the attention of the shop assistant. When asked what he’d like, he simply said, “A Barbie Doll.”
The shop assistant looked at him in a condescending manner and asked, “So sir, which Barbie would that be?”
The man looked surprised so the assistant continued, “We have Barbie Goes To the Ball at $19.99, Barbie Goes Shopping at $19.99, Barbie Goes Clubbing at $19.99, Barbie Goes To The Gym at $19.99, Cyber Barbie at $19.99 and Divorced Barbie at $249.99.”
The man couldn’t help himself so he asked, “Why is Divorced Barbie $249.99 when all those other barbies are selling for $19.99?”
“Well sir, that’s quite obvious!” said the assistant.
“Divorced Barbie comes with Ken’s house, Ken’s car and Ken’s furniture.”
