A bit of humour

An American visiting in England entered the hotel and asked where the elevator was. The doorman looked a bit confused but smiled when he realized what the man wanted. "You must mean the lift," he said.

"No," the American responded. "If I ask for the elevator I mean the elevator."

"Well," the portiere answered, "over here we call them lifts".

"Now you listen", the American said rather irritated, "someone in America invented the elevator."

"Oh, right you are sir," the portiere said in a polite tone, "but someone here in England invented the language."
 
The Chief of Staff of the Air Force decided to personally recruit some pilots and he saw two young twins.
He looked at the first young man and asked: "Son, what skills can you bring to the Air Force?"
The young man looks at him and says: "I'm a pilot!"
The General gets all excited, turns to his aide and says: “Get him in today, all the paper work done, everything, do it!"
The aide hustles the young man off. The General looks at the second young man and asks: "What skills to you bring to the Air Force?"
The young man says: "I chop wood!"
“Son,” the general replies: “We don’t need wood choppers in the Air Force, what do you know how to do?”
“I chop wood!”
“Young man,” huffs the general, “You are not listening to me, we don’t need wood choppers, this is the 21st century!”
“Well,” the young man says, “You hired my brother!”
“Of course we did,” says the general, “He’s a pilot!”
The young man rolls his eyes and says: “So what! ............

I have to chop it before he can pile it!”
