A mathematican's raffle

A mathematician organized a raffle in which the prize was an infinite amount of money paid over an infinite amount of time.

Of course, with the promise of such a prize, his tickets were sold like hot cakes. When the winning ticket was drawn, and the jubilant winner came to claim his prize, the mathematician explained the mode of payment:

"1 dollar now, 1/2 dollar next week, 1/3 dollar the week after that…"

I'm the boss

One day, a boss was complained in a staff meeting that he wasn't getting any respect.

Later that morning he went to a local sign shop and bought a small sign that read, "I'm the Boss."

He then taped it to his office door.

When he returned from lunch, he found that someone had taped a note to the sign that said, "Your wife called, She wants her sign back!"
