The devil’s offer
The devil visited a lawyer’s office and made her an offer. “I can arrange some things for you, ” the devil said.
“I’ll increase your income five-fold. Your partners will love you; your clients will respect you; you’ll have four months of vacation each year and live to be a hundred. All I require in return is that your husband’s soul, your children’s souls, and their
children’s souls rot in hell for eternity.”
The lawyer thought for a moment. “What’s the catch?” she asked
Joke
An American visiting in England asked at the hotel for the elevator. The portiere was a bit confused, but then smiled when he realized what the man wanted.
“You must mean the lift,” he said.
“No,” the American responded. “If I ask for the elevator I mean the elevator.”
“Yes, of course,” the portiere answered, “but over here we call them lifts.”
“Now you listen,” the American said, rather irritated, “someone in America invented the elevator!”
“Oh, right you are sir,” the portiere said in a polite tone, “but someone here in England invented the language.”
