The teacher was giving her class of seven-year-olds a nature history lesson.
“Worker ants,” she told them, “can carry pieces of food five times their own weight. What do you conclude from that?”
One child was ready with the answer, “They don’t have a union?”
An ant knocked on the door of a house.
The lady house owner opened the door.
“I want a place to stay” – said the ant.
“I have a vacant room which you can occupy for free of cost” – said the owner.
The ant went inside and occupied the vacant room. After some days, the ant brought in another ant and requested the owner: “Can you please allow this ant to stay with me?”
“Oh sure, you can do so without paying any rent” – said the owner.
After some days the ant brought a 3rd ant and requested the owner to allow it to stay with them. The lady agreed to it without asking for any rent. This went on as the ant brought in more & more ants and the owner agreed to let them stay without any rent. One fine day, the ant brought in the 10th ant and requested the owner to allow it to stay with them all.
The owner said: “OK, you can all stay here, but now you all need to pay rent!”
Now the question is: “Why did the owner ask for rent when the 10th ant came in?”
Because they were now tenants!
Two salesmen were going door to door, and knocked on the door of a woman who was not happy to see them.
She told them in certain terms that she did not want to hear their offer and slammed the door in their faces.
To her surprise, however, the door did not close and, in fact, bounced back open.
She tried again, really put her back into it, and slammed the door again with the same result — the door bounced back open.
Convinced, these rude people were sticking their foot in the door, she reared back to give it a slam that would teach them a lesson, when one of them said:
“Ma’am, before you do that again, you need to move your cat.”
