  1. The last cartoon, captioned “. . .Now!”, is my favorite. How many of us remember as youths the first time riding a down escalator & the sense of anxiety as we approached the bottom, wondering exactly when to stop off & not risk falling?
    Some escalator jokes:
    The other day I had a bad experience at the mall, there was a power failure. I was stuck on the escalator for 45 minutes before power was restored!
    The advantage of an escalator over an elevator is that if it stops working, the escalator turns into a staircase!
    Definition of eternity: A slinky toy traveling down an up escalator.

  2. There are some good ones here. #4 (pool table), is pretty outrageous. #5 also with the chair. With #6, the store manager is definitely saying out loud what most of us are thinking when hearing “The customer is always right.”
