Good Mourning!!

A reporter calls the paper and asks for the slot man.
"I'm sorry, he died suddenly," the clerk tells him.
One minute later, the reporter calls and asks again.
"I told you, he's dead," the clerk repeats.
"I know," the reporter says. "I just like to hear you say it."


Take me now!!
A journalism professor and a police reporter with 35 years on the beat are in an elevator when they notice the Grim Reaper riding with them.
"You fell 22 floors and both were killed," the Grim Reaper tells them. "But I'll give you each one wish to remember your life on earth before I take you."
"Oh good!" says the professor. "I want to read my doctoral thesis out loud!"
And the reporter says, "Take me now."
