Guy was cleaning out his wallet, came across a ticket for a shoe repair he had forgoten abt. He noticed the date was in October 2013. Man, I wonder if they still have my shoes. He stopped by the repair shot and presented the ticket to the old repairman, who then departed into the back of the shop. The customer heard noises and banging coming from that direction, but was patient. Soon, the old repairman came back out, looked apologetically at the customer and said, "They'll be ready Thursday."

Tks Susan, my reaction also when I first heard ir yrs ago.
Old classic but still funny.
As an old man with experience going to the cobblerโs shop, this story made me laugh out loud. Thanks for sharing it.
Dear Dean S,
Sounds like the fellow in Russia who ordered a new truck, guy said it can be delivered in August of 2030.The guy said if that's the date, that's the date. He asked, AM or PM.? Fellow asked why ? Guy said because I have the plumber coming that afternoon !
Anyone remember Myron Cohen? I think he told the same story with a dry cleaner and itโs classic humor๐

Growing up in the 1950's my hometown had an guy that would repair all sorts of electrical items. From radio's to toasters. He did a great job, but was not well organized. Anytime you went to check up on a repair job, he would say it would be ready on ____day. But he would never commit to whether that ____day was next week or next month.

Myron Cohen was one of the best!! I loved his accent. And his jokes were clean.
