Pay Rise
One Wednesday Martin demanded of his boss, "I must have a pay rise. You should realise there are three other companies after me."
"Really?" replied Martin's boss, "And who might these companies be?"
"Southern Electricity, British Gas and British Telecom," answered Martin.

* School Fee Rise
An English public school was forced to raise its fees. The headmaster decided that the simplest way was to implement an across the board 7% increase per annum. Unfortunately, when the secretary typed the letter, she missed out a crucial 'n' in the last word of the letter, consequently, it read thus:
Dear Parent
Due to increased building costs, I have decided reluctantly to raise the fees by 7% per anum.
Yours sincerely,
J.B. Williams (Headmaster)
About a week later, one concerned parent replied saying:
Dear Headmaster
I regret your increase in fees, but I would like to continue paying through the nose as before.
