    Existing Bar Joke #1

    A man is drinking in a bar when a nun harasses him about drinking. In self-defense the man says, “Who told you that drinking is bad?” Nun: Mother Superior told me. Man: So, have you ever tried it? Nun: No, I haven’t ever taken a drink of hard liquor. Man: Well, don’t criticize me if you haven’t tried it. I’ll tell you what; if you try it and don’t like it I’ll give up drinking for life. Nun: Okay but bring it in a tea cup. I don’t want people thinking I’m drinking. The man goes up to the bartender and says, “Bring me a couple of shots of vodka but bring one of them in a tea cup.” The bartender looked at the man and said, “Is that nun in here again?”

    New Bar Joke #1

He said to the nun, “Those alter boys have been in the wine again. This has to stop. I will put them up for public display during mass. Run out and get some wine!” The nun went out for the wine and as she hustled along the street she said I’ve got the boys in trouble. I prey Lord, what should I do? A voice said The boys are young and they can take the heat. It was a woman’s voice and the nun was confused. Could the Lord speak like a woman, a woman who seemed out of breath? In the liquor store. when she went to pay for the wine. she realized that she had brought no money. She again heard an out-of-breath woman’s voice say The Lord will provide. She took the wine without paying and hurried back to the church getting there just in time for the sacrament service. Before she could tell the priest about the woman’s voice, the priest whispered to her, “You left without the money. I guess Mother Superior caught up to you.”

    Working Effectively with Recruiters
    If you've done much job searching, you may have worked with a recruiter at one time or another. Maybe your experience was terrific and you found the job of your dreams, or maybe the recruiter treated you like a commodity to be shopped to the highest bidder.On March 13 I held a joint teleconference with Joe Centrella of Resource Options Inc., one of the premier recruiting and placement firms in the Boston Area. You can hear a recording of the conference here.
