“Yes, I’m wondering if I can still add a few items to my Amazon Fresh order?”
MY WEDDING DAY

The employee replies, “That it’s only Wednesday?”

At the funeral of the richest man in town, a stranger saw a woman crying very loudly. The stranger said, “Are you a relative of the deceased?”

“That’s why!”
SHHHHH.
I was in the library once when a man walked in asking for a ham and cheese pizza. The librarian politely told him that he was in a library. The man first apologised and then whispered to the librarian, “Can I please have a ham and cheese pizza?”
