From the Punch:
The lady, to her new cook, who sent to the dinner table a meal that was inedible: Do you have any experience in the kitchen?
The cook: No, mam.
The Lady: Then why did you come to work here?

I'm going out this afternoon, I'm leaving the keys under this vase, in case you come home sooner than me.
Well, just mind don't you forget.
Just as I expected. The key isn't here! She went out and forgot all about it, that's women for you!
But how will I get in the house, now?
That window appears to be closed. I'll see if I get in through there.
But when you saw the key wasn't there, why didn't you knock on the door? I've been home for ages!
