A clown held a door open for me, today.

Speaking of, there was once a jester with an inordinate fondness for truly awful puns. One day, the King vowed that the next groaner would result in the punster's death. Sure enough, that didn't take long. The King had the jester sent to the dungeon and ordered the assembly of the gallows.
Overnight the King had a change of heart, good help being hard to find, and went to the dungeon.
"Jester, I have good news for you!"
The prisoner looked up and said, "No noose is good news." And he was hanged at dawn.
one great way to ensure nobody dials that number!

An officer, home from strenuous service overseas, was assigned to a desk job in the Pentagon. Each day for a week he shifted the location of his desk - next to the window, away from the window, into a corridor, and finally into the men's washroom. "He must be shell-shocked," the authorities figured, but the officer had a different explanation. "It's the only place around here," he said grimly, "where people seem to know what they're doing."
