00 Lapsed Logic 02 br

00 1. I was standing at a busy intersection when two shopping-bag-laden women got off a bus chatting animatedly. They had said their good-byes and were heading in opposite directions when one called over her shoulder to the other, "I'll phone you when I get home." Then, a moment later, she shouted, " 00 Better yet 00 , you call me. You'll get home before I will." 02 br
02 br
00 -I think the punch line here is 00 " 00 Better yet 00 , you call me. You'll get home before I will." 00 But I don't see any logic for good laugh. 02 br
02 br
00 Can you give me the key to the laughter? 02 br
02 br
00 2. A PHONE COMPANY representative called to ask if I was interested in 00 caller ID 00 . Since I'm blind, I said, "Does it come in Braille?" 02 br
02 br
00 The phone rep put me on hold. When she returned, she replied, "I'm sorry, sir. The caller ID box doesn't come in that color." 02 br
02 br
00 - The punc line in the above sentence is the word between 'Braille' and 'that color'? 02 br
02 br
00 Can you tell me why this is funny? 02 br

00 2. Just that the rep is being rather stupid in believing braille to be a colour. 0-

00 "Better yet" means "even better" 02 br
02 br
00 By saying "Better yet, you call me. You'll get home before I will," one of the women make the other call. 02 br
02 br
00 But what's the point of her saying this to the other? 02 br
02 br
00 To save the money for calling? Am I right? 02 br

00 Brenda says she will call Mary when she gets home - meaning as soon as she arrives home. Then she says 'no, you call me as soon as you get home'. But Mary will get home before Brenda. So if Mary calls as soon as she gets home, Brenda won't be there to take the call. the joke is that Brenda thinks 'oh Mary's home first
