Do you spell your name with a “V,” Herr Wagner?
That’s why I prefer it as the first man just saying “It’s cold” (meaning, presumably, just the night air). That way, there is no confusion about the size differential - only one is reaching the water.
That’s not how I read it. You are assuming the second guy judges the water as deep because he does not reach the bottom. I read it that he reaches the bottom, but doing so requires more of his length than other rivers do.
“How do you think I rang the doorbell?”
A cloth cutter is cutting patterns through many layers of cloth prior to sewing them into whatever the clothing manufacturer is making. For suits, the are sleeves, front panels, back panels, sleeves, etc. But an A-line skirt would seem to require just one trapezoidal hunk of cloth that is now seamed and hemmed. A lot of work is saved by cutting many layers at the same time, usually in different colors. Placing patterns for a suit to minimize wastage is an art, now done by computers, maybe 10% more efficiently. And I think the cutting is now done with lasers.
“28.”
It’s the comedians’ retirement home joke in which they’ve told all these jokes so often they just give them each numbers and say the numbers. Saves time. The new guy gives it a try. “28.” Silence. “Whazzamatter? Aint 28 a good one?” “Well yeah … but you told it wrong.”
Heard that one about prisoners in a cell block. Still good.
I guess some people just can’t tell a joke.
So, what’s the joke number of the joke about the joke numbers?
Twenty bucks, same as in town.
Pinocchio?
“I’ll only need one bullet.”
OK, he’s dead. Now what?
“Sometimes señor, the bull wins”
Very well, death.

If I could walk that way, I wouldn’t need the talcum powder.
“Lie, dammit, Lie!”
“You’re a mean drunk, Mr. Kent.”
“Shoot the dog!”
Different Pinocchio joke- yours is sexual, mine was theological. Read below, if you care to know more.

One fine day in Heaven, Jesus realized he hadn’t seen his father, St. Joseph. in a few centuries (which, of course, is not a very long time in Heaven). He asked St. Peter, “Hey Pete, have you seen my Dad?”
Peter asked, “You mean God?”
“No, no,” chuckled Jesus. “I see God every day. I mean my earthly father, Joseph.”
“Oh sure,” said Peter. “I often see him hanging out under a shade tree in the Heavenly park.”
Jesus strolled over to the park, and saw an old man under a tree, carving a piece of wood. Jesus approached the man from behind and said, “You’re a very skilled woodworker. Were you a carpenter back on Earth?”
“Why yes,” said the old man, " I was an excellent carpenter."
“Did you have any children?” asked Jesus.
“Yes, I had one son,” said the old man.
“And was there anything special about him?” asked Jesus.
“Well,” said the old man, “he wasn’t conceived in the usual way. In fact, his birth was something of a miracle.”
Jesus smiled and said, “Papa, it’s me!”
The old man looked up and said, “Pinocchio?” [/spoiler]
