The city has closed a road to repair a collapsed sewer-pipe. The actual road closure is not apparent until you go around a bend.
So a lot of drivers go to see if the road is really closed and then have to turn in the narrow road. Their embarrassment is made worse by the back of the "ROAD CLOSED" sign.
The back of the sign reads: "TOLD YOU SO!"
John and Fred were arguing over something Fred had done.
John finally said, "If you do it again, I'll slap you upside of the head so hard it'll make your teeth rattle!"
Fred replied, "You do and it'll be the last time you do!"
John responded, "If I do, it'll be the last time I have to!"
John: How's your new alarm clock working out?
Fred: It didn't work out at all. It gave me so much trouble I returned it to the store.
John: Really! What was wrong with it?
Fred: It kept waking me up every morning.
