Story jokes you can tell on site 

1) The timesheet miracle

2) Missing ear

3) Exact words

4) The strongman wager 
A young site lad brags he can out-lift anyone. The old hand bets a week’s wages he can cart something in a wheelbarrow that the lad cannot wheel back. Deal. The old boy grips the handles and says, right then, hop in. 

5) Death-row logic 
A chemist and a biologist survive the electric chair when the switch does nothing, both walk free by law. The electrician sits down next and says helpfully, before you try again, swap the red and blue, you might actually get this working.
