"Popular Karen"

My new girlfriend, Karen, got a job at a local
hardware store. "The owner doesn't want us
hanging out with our friends," she said. "If you
stop by, tell them you're my brother."

On my first visit I walked to the customer
service desk and asked the older woman
there, "Is Karen around?"

When she looked at me quizzically, I added,
"I'm her brother."

She smiled. "What a nice surprise. I'm Karen's
mother."

"Important Signature"

I was signing the receipt for my credit card
purchase when the clerk noticed that I had
never signed my name on the back of the
credit card. She informed me that she could
not complete the transaction unless the card
was signed.

When I asked why, she explained that it was
necessary to compare the signature on the
credit card with the signature I just signed on
the receipt.

So I signed the credit card in front of her. She
carefully compared that signature to the one
I signed on the receipt.

Luckily, they matched.
