Yet another one from Russ.
A uninformed voter decided to redecorate her bedroom. She wasn’t sure how many rolls of wallpaper she would need, but she knew that her friend from next door, also an uninformed voter, had recently done the same job, and the two rooms were identical in size. “Buffy,” she said, “How many rolls of wallpaper did you buy for your bedroom?”
“Ten,” said Buffy.
So the uninformed voter bought the ten rolls of paper and did the job, but she had 2 rolls leftover. “Buffy,” she said. “I bought ten rolls of wallpaper for the bedroom, but I’ve got 2 leftover!”
“Yes,” said Buffy, “So did I.”
This reminds me of one of the bareboat charters I skippered down in the British Virgin Islands. We were sitting at anchor in Great Harbor at Peter Island. DO NOT DO THIS!! It is a deep anchorage so you have to anchor close in shore and will get eaten alive by mosquitoes. Anyway,I’m sitting up on deck enjoying a Stoli on the rocks when this other yacht pulls in. I could tell these people were not sailors. I had seen them earlier in the day and it was obvious. It was two old men and an old lady. Anyway, they decided to drop the hook about 100 yards away from us. One of the men yelled over, “How much water are you anchored in.”
I replied, “30 feet.”
He answered back, “It’s different over here.”
“No shit”, I said to myself.
