HUMORESQUE

 The Personnel Manager said, 'Mujibar, you have passed all the tests, except one. It is a simple test of your English language skills. Unless you pass it, you cannot qualify for this job.' Mujibar said, 'I am  ready.' The manager said, 'You must make a sentence using the words Yellow, Pink, and Green.' Mujibar thought for a few minutes and said, 'Mister manager, I am  ready.' The manager said, 'Go ahead.' Mujibar said, 'The telephone goes green, green, and I pink it up, and say, Yellow, this is Mujibar.' Mujibar now works at a call center. [from Barb]
