DNC Joke of the Week
A couple of men in a pickup truck drove into a lumberyard. One of the men walked into the office and said “We need some four-by-twos.”
The clerk said “You mean two-by-fours, don’t you?”
The man said, “I’ll go check,” and went back to the truck. He returned a minute later and said, “Yeah, I meant two-by-fours.”
“All right. How long do you need them?”
The customer paused for a minute and said “I’d better go check.”
After a while, the customer returned to the office and said “A long time. We’re gonna build a house.”
[If you’ve got a better joke, (and doesn’t everyone??) send it to admin@dncentre.org.au and we’ll publish it. (Remember, this is a family publication! ?). We’ll even include your name if you wish – or you can protect your anonymity!]
