A Call For Humor!

We were shopping in a nearby smallish town yesterday and were riding the escalator to the second floor of a store. It was a standard escalator setup in an X shape with the up on one side and the down on the other. It was an open design were you could see the up from the down side.

We encountered clear sign that young people don't go to stores much anymore. As we were getting to the top of the escalator there was a large group of young teen girls gathered and most of them were looking at the top of the escalator. As we got to the top I heard one of them ask someone "How do we get back down?"

It looked like they were doing some sort of scavenger hunt and had never been on an escalator before. And apparently didn't notice that on the other side the steps were moving the other direction....

*This picture is from the old days when stores were loaded with merchandise, there isn't even anything stacked at the top to block any of their view now.
Worse, if you told them where to go to get back down they’d ask you to text them a pin so they could gps their way to it.

Mark went on a holiday for a month and asked his friend Rob to house-sit and look after his cat. After a week, Mark calls up.

Mark: Hey how are things? How's my cat?
Rob: He's dead.
Mark: WHAT!?!? How could you say that!?!?!?
Rob: What do you mean? He's dead.
Mark: No, no! You need to break the news gently. It was too much of a shock.
Rob: Like how?
Mark: Well, on the first day you could say she's playing on the roof, on the second day you could say she's had an accident, and on the third day you could say that you cared for her but she died anyway.
Rob: OK
Mark: Glad that's sorted. How's my grandma?
Rob: Ummm ... she's playing on the roof ...
