It Happened At Work…
Contributed by Loyd C. Taylor on Sep 3, 2023 (message contributor)
Church chuckle: It Happened at work… Like the situation that a nurse shared which happened at the hospital where she works. One night a young intern came into the hospital ward shaking her head. "There’s an old man out there by the vending machines," she continued, "and he’s putting dollar bills into the money changer. Every time he gets his quarters, he yells, ’Jackpot!’ and then dances around," she told the other nurses. She chuckled and soon forgot about it.
In a few hours, on their way for a coffee break, they saw a repairman in front of one of the vending machines. They asked him why he was working so late.
"I have to get this money changer fixed," he said. "It’s been giving $10 in quarters every time someone puts in a dollar bill."
