Friday Funny's - Joke for the day

By
Services for Real Estate Pros

 

 

Here's a quick joke to start out your Friday: 

 

A dedicated Teamsters union worker was attending a convention in Las Vegas and decided to check out the local brothels. When he got to the first one, he asked the Madam, "Is this a union house?"

 

 

"No," she replied, "I'm sorry it isn't."

"Well, if I pay you $100, what cut do the girls get?"

"The house gets $80 and the girls get $20," she answered.

Offended at such unfair dealings, the union man stomped off down the street in search of a more equitable, hopefully unionized shop. His search continued until finally he reached a brothel where the Madam responded, "Why yes sir, this is a union house. We observe all union rules."

The man asked, "And, if I pay you $100, what cut do the girls get?"

"The girls get $80 and the house gets $20."

"That's more like it!" the union man said.

He handed the Madam $100, looked around the room, and pointed to a stunningly attractive green-eyed blonde.

 

"I'd like her," he said.

"I'm sure you would, sir," said the Madam. Then she gestured toa 92-year old woman in the corner, "but Ethel here has 67 years seniority and according to union rules, she's next.'"

April,  That is pretty funny!  My husband used to work in administration for retirement centers and had to deal with unions a lot.  It can be tricky!  Then my mom was a nurse in a hospital and was in a union.  She has nothing but good things to say about unions and how they helped her get the pay she deserved!  Karin

Karin - Unions were great to help get good pay, I think they've gone a little too far.... but that's another story!  I worked in an office that was union and some of the people should not have been there (drinking on the job, not producing) - they were protected by their time on the job.  Sad.

How strange is it that as funny as the joke is, for some reason it stuck out in my head that if it was a decent union Ethel would have been able to retire YEARS ago?

More opinions than you want to hear about.

I'll remember this one.  Mike #7, Ethel may have still been working because she loved her job.  Without the union she would probably have been laid off.

I know a few people that were stung this way.  Funny thing they were also very instrumental in getting the Union into their shop.
