Constant nagging didn't seem to provide any relief from having to clean up the bathroom after each of my three teenage children.
After I cleaned it one day, I resorted to posting a sign that read: "Please leave the bathroom as you found it."
I noticed the bathroom was in the usual mess after my son used it, so I called, "Brian, how did you find the bathroom?"
After a brief pause, he replied, "Straight down the hall, first door on the right."

"A little lamb was born all wooly-white with skinny legs and a wet nose, pretty much like all the other little lambs. But as the lamb grew into a sheep, the other sheep began to notice a difference. This sheep had a strange lump on his forehead.
At first, they thought he'd been hit, but the lump never went down. Instead, a large pad of deep, white wool grew over the lump and made it very soft and firm. The lump might have stopped attracting attention except for the fact that this sheep began to use the lump on his head in very strange ways.

I went into the greasy spoon next to the office and ordered a Tuna On Wheat. The waiter said, "Oh, I'm sorry, we're out of wheat bread. You'll have to have it on white."
The next day I went to the same place and ordered the same tuna on wheat. Again he told me they were out of wheat, I'd have to get it on white.
The third time I went there I decided to skip the step of being refused the wheat and just ordered tuna on white.
The waiter looked up from his notepad and said, "Aren't you the guy who usually orders it on wheat?"
