1. It only made matters worse
A husband said to his friend: «My wife doesn't allow me to sleep. She is afraid of thieves, she wakes me up if
she hears the slightest noise, and makes me get up to see if there are burglars in the house».
«You can easily get over that difficulty. Just explain to your wife that thieves don't make any noise; they work quietly and don't disturb anybody». «I've already done that, old man, but it only made matters worse. Now she gets me up several times every night because she hears nothing».
2. «Have you anything to say for yourself before I pass the sentence?» the judge said to the pickpocket. «What good have you ever done for mankind?» «Well, Your Honour», said the prisoner, «I've kept four or five detectives working regularly and I've helped several reporters, prison guards, and you keep their jobs».
