A large, well-established, lumber camp advertised that they were looking for a good lumberjack. The very next day, a skinny little man showed up at the camp with his axe and knocked on the head lumberjack’s door.
The head lumberjack took one look at the little man and told him to leave.
“Just give me a chance to show you what I can do,” said the skinny man.
“Okay, see that giant redwood over there?” said the lumberjack. “Take your axe and go cut it down.”
The skinny man headed for the tree, and in five minutes he was back knocking on the lumberjack’s door.
“I cut the tree down,” said the man.
The lumberjack couldn’t believe his eyes and said: “Where did you get the skill to chop down trees like that?”
“In the Sahara Forest,” replied the man.
“You mean the Sahara Desert,” said the lumberjack.

The little man laughed and answered back: “Sure, that’s what they call it NOW!”

An old man walks up to a pawn shop’s counter
An old man walks up to a pawn shop’s counter holding an old, weathered guitar:
“I’d like your expert opinion on this guitar, how much do you think it’s worth?” asks the old man.
The pawn broker looks it up and down. “Well, I can tell right now that there’s a little warping in the neck, the lacquer is faded and there’s scratches and dents all over it. It’s an old, well-played guitar but I don’t think it’s worth any more than twenty bucks.”
The old man reaches his hand out and says, “Okay, if that’s what you think it’s worth.. you have a deal!”
“Great!” replies the pawn broker, shaking his hand.
“Here’s twenty bucks,” says the old man. “I’ll buy it right now!”
The broker stops, and suddenly looks confused.
“Wait…. buy?” he asks.
…

“Yes!” smiles the old man as he flips the guitar over, “This one has a sticker price of $150, but now that I have your honest opinion I think twenty bucks is a great deal!”
