One day a priest was driving down the highway when his gas light came on.
He noticed a sign that said next gas station 20 miles. Well, he knew that
he would only get ten more miles so he set the cruise at 55 and hoped to
coast far enough so he could walk. Well, sure enough, he ran out of gas
but was at least 5 to 7 miles from the gas station. The priest got out of
his car, got his gas can and began walking. After about a mile, a diesel
slowed and came to a stop. The trucker yelled to the priest, "Hey, need a
ride? I couldn't help notice you were a priest so i figured you wouldn't
hurt me. Hop in!" The priest climbs in the rig and they drive on.
A little ways up the road, the trucker sees a black man walking by
himself. He has this urge but can't bring himself to do it with the
priest with him. Suddenly he devises a plan. He closes his eyes but
leaves one squinted so that he can see, but also so that it appears that
he has fallen asleep. He slowly begans easing over to the shoulder and
right when he gets to the black man, BAM!! The truck driver bolts up in
his chair and yells, "What happened? Did I hit something?" The priest,
looking in the rear view mirror, says, "No, you missed him but I got him
with my gas can!"

THE PARACHUTE PARADIGM:
You are one of two people on a malfunctioning airplane with only one
parachute.
Pessimist: you refuse the parachute because you might die in the
jump anyway.
Optimist: you refuse the parachute because people have survived
jumps just like this before.
Procrastinator: you play a game of Monopoly for the parachute.
Bureaucrat: you order them to conduct a feasibility study on
parachute use in multi-engine aircraft under code red conditions.
Lawyer: you charge one parachute for helping them sue the airline.
Doctor: you tell them you need to run more tests, then take the
parachute in order to make your next appointment.
Sales executive: you sell them the parachute at top retail rates and
get the names of their friends and relatives who might like one too.
Internal Revenue Service: you confiscate the parachute along with
their luggage, wallet, and gold fillings.
Advertiser: you strip-tease while singing that what they need is a
neon parachute with computer altimeter for only $39.99.
Engineer: you make them another parachute out of aisle curtains and
dental floss.
Scientist: you give them the parachute and ask them to send you a
report on how well it worked.
Mathematician: you refuse to accept the parachute without proof that
it will work in all cases.
Philosophy: you ask how they know the parachute actually exists.
English: you explicate simile and metaphor in the parachute
instructions.
Comparative Literature: you read the parachute instructions in all
four languages.
Computer Science: you design a machine capable of operating a
parachute as well as a human being could.
Economics: you plot a demand curve by asking them, at regular
intervals, how much they would pay for a parachute.
Psychoanalysis: you ask them what the shape of a parachute reminds
them of.
Drama: you tie them down so they can watch you develop the character
of a person stuck on a falling plane without a parachute.
Art: you hang the parachute on the wall and sign it.
Republican: as you jump out with the parachute, you tell them to work
hard and not expect handouts.
Democrat: you ask them for a dollar to buy scissors so you can cut
the parachute into two equal pieces.
Libertarian: after reminding them of their constitutional right to
have a parachute, you take it and jump out.
Ross Perot: you tell them not to worry, since it won't take you long
to learn how to fix a plane.
Surgeon General: you issue a warning that skydiving can be hazardous
to your health.
Association of Tobacco Growers: you explain very patiently that
despite a number of remarkable coincidences, studies have shown no link whatsoev
er between airplane crashes and death.
National Rifle Association: you shoot them and take the parachute.
Police Bigot: you beat them unconscious with the parachute.
Environmentalist: you refuse to use the parachute unless it is
biodegradable.
Objectivist: your only rational and moral choice is to take the
parachute, as the free market will take care of the other person.
Branch Davidian (David Koresh): you get inside the parachute and
refuse to come out.
Sports Fan: you start betting on how long it will take to crash.
Auto Mechanic: as long as you are looking at the plane engine, it
works fine.

"Mr. LaForge, have you had any success with your attempts at finding
a weakness in the Borg? And Mr. Data, have you been able to access their
command pathways?"
"Yes, Captain. In fact, we found the answer by searching through our
archives on late Twentieth-century computing technology."
"What the hell is 'Microsoft'?"
"Allow me to explain. We will send this program,
for some reason called 'Windows', through the Borg command pathways. Once
inside their root command unit, it will begin consuming system resources
at an unstoppable rate."
"But the Borg have the ability to adapt. Won't they alter their
processing systems to increase their storage capacity?"
"Yes, Captain. But when 'Windows' detects this, it creates a new
version of itself known as an 'upgrade'. The use of resources increases
exponentially with each iteration. The Borg will not be able to adapt
quickly enough. Eventually all of their processing ability will be taken
over and none will be available for their normal operational functions."
"Excellent work. This is even better than that 'unsolvable geometric

TO: ALL EMPLOYEES
FROM: PERSONNEL DEPARTMENT
RE: ABSENTEEISM
It has been brought to the attention of the Board that the attendance
record of our company is a disgrace. It has now become necessary to
revise some of our policies. The following changes take place
immediately.
SICKNESS: No excuse. We will no longer accept your doctor's statement
as proof, as we believe that if you are able to get to the
doctor you are able to come to work.
DEATH: (Other than your own.) This is no excuse. There is nothing
you can do for the deceased, and we are sure that someone
with a lesser number of obligations can attend to the
arrangements. However, if the funeral can be held late in
the afternoon we will be glad to let you off one hour early,
provided that you work is sufficiently ahead so that you
won't inconvenience other employees by your absence
LEAVE OF
ABSENCE (For an operation.) We are no longer allowing this
practice. We wish to discourage any thought that you might
need an operation. Since we believe that as long as you are
employed here you will need all of whatever you have, and
should not consider having anything removed. We hired you
as you are, and to have anything removed would certainly
make you less than we bargained for.
DEATH (Your own.) This will be accepted as an excuse, but we
would like two weeks notice, as we feel it is your duty to
train someone else to do your job.
Also, entirely too much time is being spent in restrooms. In the
future we will follow the practice of going in alphabetical order.
For instance, those whose name begins with "A" will go from 8:00 to
8:15, "B" will go from 8:15 to 8:30 and so on. If you are unable to
go at your time it will be necessary to wait until the next day when
your time comes up.

Subject: Almanac humor: The Frenchman's message lately translated
A Frenchman wanting a lodging, but having no money to pay for it,
depended on his wit for a supply; so went into an inn, where called
for a supper and had a bed for the night. The bill came to him in the
morning, but our hero ingenuously confessed he had no money, but
Boniface would not be thus bamboozled, and swore that he would keep
him till he paid.
"Oh, den," (says the Frenchman) "If you will keep me dill I pay, me
vill never pay; for me love goot keeping, and me vill love it all de
days of my life.
However, Boniface being very rough, poor Monsieur < > to exert his
wit, and get clear off.
"Don't be angry, Monsieur, don't dough me has not de money to pay de
reckoning, me can do you a bit of service, vich will be all de same as
money. Me see you be troubled with de rat, now give me de reckoning
and me will give you a receipt in French--Do you understand de
French?"
"No, I don't," cried Boniface surlily.
"Well, dat're no matter, you vill easily find de friend dat vill--Me
could write in de English tongue, but me can't."
The Frenchman, after saying this, took pen and ink, and having written
a few French lines, gave it to the landlord, who, glad to have any
thing for his money, received it with readiness.
Some days after, the rats multiplied so, that Boniface was resolved to
try the virtue of this recipe; and having by chance found a gentleman
in the tap room that understood French, he begged him to translate the
recipe, which he did in the following manner, to the great
astonishment of the landlord, and the loud laugh of the company.

beer, and when they have eaten heartily, charge them five shillings for
their supper, and they will never come any more." (The Rhode-Island

When he was ready to leave in the morning, he told her
he didn't have the money with him, but he would have his
secretary write a check for it, and mail it for "Rent
at the Apartment".
On his way to the office, he decided the whole thing wasn't
worth the price he agreed to pay. So he had the secretary
send a check for $250.00 and enclose the following note:
Dear Madam:
Enclosed is a check for the amount of $250.00 for rent on
your apartment. I am not sending the amount agreed upon
because when I rented the apartment, I was under the
impression that:
1) It had never been occupied
2) That there was plenty of heat
3) That it was small
Last night I found it had already been occupied; that there
wasn't any heat and that it was entirely too large.
Upon receipt of the check, the girl immediately returned
the check with the following note:
Dear Sir:
I am returning the check for $250.00. I cannot understand
how you would expect such a beautiful apartment to remain
unoccupied. As for the heat, there is plenty of it, if you
know how to turn it on. And as for the size, it is not my
fault that you didn't have enough furniture to fill it.

Subject: Practical first aids for home accidents. Part I of II.
This article was published by Marco A. Almazan, a great mexican humor
writer. It first appeared in a book called The gormondios of Marfesia
(Los gormondios de Marfesia) ed. J.U.S. Mexico 1975.
I will post part II on monday.
and now...
Practical first aids for home accidents.
There are a lot of small home accidents that relly doesn't are dangerous
by itselfs, However the real danger is that you leave the victim of this
accident laid on the floor until you call a doctor who does not made homecalls
or if he does, charges you an amount of money that equals the price of your
home. It happens that this guy stays on the floor until someone kills him by
accidentally stepping on him, or he dies from natural causes.
To offer a remedy to this unconfortable situation, ioll give you the most
effective and simple procedures for the most common home accidents such as:
Electric Shock:
If the guy who suffered an electric shock had caused a short circuit that
blows a fuse, in the first place, you should try to fix your fuse box, or
you might apply first aids to another person and do not notice or pay
any attention to the guy who had suffered the accident.
After fixing the fuse box you will procced to screw a lightbulb in his/her
theeth, if the lightbulb doesn't turn on, that means that this guy does not
have enough volts in his body and he/she will be o.k. in a couple of
minutes, after having a couple of drinks or if you give him/her a shower
with cold water. This last procedure is not recommended in winter time,
or this home remedy may turn into a worst situation.
If the light turns on, the best thing to do is to take this guy to the
outside of the house and hang him over the door, put some music and he/she
will receive the full benefits of fresh air, and he/she will also
receive an standing ovation from the people at the street and the neighbours
that are watching this odd show of light and sound.
Poison ingestion:
If someone ingests rat poison, lye, or just pork meat at any taco stand,
this is the correct procedure. Lie down that person in decubito supino
possition (on his back), put yor knee on his chest and a plumber helper
on his face (the kind you use on your sink). While you are making the
suction procedure, you must shout at the guy 'I knew this will happen one
day, I told you a thosand times, This is happening because you are an
idiot, That happened to you for eating so much trompa,buche and nenepile
tacos ( diferent kind of tacos made with pork meat that you can buy near
almost every bus stop or subway station (Metro). Don't ask wich part of the
pig, belive me, you don't want to know).
If the person is a stranger, you don't have to say nothing, just use the
plumber helper as directed before and wait for an ambulance.

Subject: The smartest house on the block???
TCI, the nation's largest cable television Company, is in talks to launch a
unique pilot project in conjunction with Pacific Gas & Electric Co. and
Microsoft Corporation to design a "smart home".
November 28, 1995 Moved in at last. Finally, we live in the smartest house in
the neighborhood. Everything's networked. The cable TV is connected to our
phone, which is connected to my PC, which is connected to the power lines, all
the appliances and the security system. Everything runs off a universal
remote with the friendliest interface I've ever used. Programming is a snap.
I'm, like, totally wired.
November 30 Hot stuff! Programmed my VCR from the office, turned up the
thermostat and switched on the lights with the car phone, remotely tweaked the
oven a few degrees for my pizza. Everything nice and cozy when I arrived.
Maybe I should have the universal remote surgically attached.
December 3 Yesterday, the kitchen crashed. Freak event. As I opened the
refrigerator door, the light bulb blew. Immediately, everything else
electrical shut down - lights, microwave, coffee maker - everything!
Carefully, I unplugged and replugged all the appliances. Nothing. Called the
cable company (but not from the kitchen phone). They refer me to the utility.
The utility insists the problem was in the software. So the software company
runs some remote telediagnostics via my house processor.
Their expert system claims it has to be the utility's fault. I don't care, I
just want my kitchen back. More phone calls. More remote diagnostics. Turns
out the problem was "unanticipated failure mode" - the network had never seen
a refrigerator bulb failure while the door was open. So the fuzzy logic
interpreted the burnout as a power surge and shut down the entire kitchen. But
because sensor memory confirmed that there hadn't actually been a power surge,
the kitchen's logic sequence was confused so it couldn't do a standard
restart.
The utility guy swears this was the first time this has ever happened.
Rebooting the kitchen took over an hour.
December 7 The police are not happy. Our house keeps calling them for help. We
discover that whenever we play the TV or stereo above 25 decibels, it creates
patterns of micro-vibrations that get amplified when they hit the window. When
these vibrations mix with a gust of wind, the security sensors are actuated
and the police computer concludes that someone is trying to break in. Go
figure....
Another glitch: whenever the basement is in self-diagnostic mode, the
universal remote won't let me change the channels on my TV. That means I
actually have to get up off the couch and change the channels by hand. The
software and the utility people say this flaw will be fixed in the next
upgrade - SmartHouse 2.1, but it's not ready yet.
December 12 This is a nightmare. There's a virus in the house. My personal
computer caught it while browsing on the public access network. I come home
and the living room is a sauna, the bedroom windows are covered with ice, the
refrigerator has defrosted, the washing machine has flooded the basement, the
garage door is cycling up and down and the TV is stuck on the Home Shopping
channel. Throughout the house, lights flicker like stroboscopes until they
explode from the strain. Broken glass is everywhere. Of course, the security
sensors detect nothing. I look at a message slowly throbbing on my PC screen:
"Welcome to HomeWrecker!!! Now the FUN begins....(be it ever so humble,
there's no virus like HomeWrecker....)". I get out of the house. Fast.
December 18 They think I've digitally disinfected the house but the place is a
shambles. Pipes have burst and we're not completely sure we've got the part of
the virus that attacks toilets. Nevertheless, The Exorcists (as the anti-virus
SWAT members like to call themselves) are confident the worst is over.
December 19 Apparently, our house isn't insured for viruses. "Fires and
mudslides yes," says the claims adjuster, "viruses, no."
My agreement with the SmartHouse people explicitly states that all claims and
warranties are null and void if any appliance or computer in my house networks
in any way, shape or form with a noncertified on-line service. Everybody's
very, very sorry but they can't be expected to anticipate every virus that may
be created.
We call our lawyer. He laughs. He's excited.
December 21 I get a call from a SmartHouse sales rep. As a special holiday
offer, we get the free opportunity to become a beta site for the company's new
SmartHouse 2.1 upgrade. He says I'll be able to meet the programmers
personally. "Sure, I tell him"...

operation that has proven to be very successful in most cases. But, you'd
better go home and talk this over with your wife."

their decision. The man answered, "My wife decided to re-do the kitchen."

Subject: Twins & horses
There was once this guy who had married a twin, and he had the hardest
telling his wife from her twin. It was only after about 7 years of
marriage and never knowing if he was doing to bed with his wife or
her twin that he finally discovered that his wife was about 2 inches
shorter than her brother.
This same guy had two identical horses, and here, too, he had great
difficulty telling them part. Finally, he got the bright idea of
cropping the mane and the tail of the red one.

Subject: Proclaimations; Signs
AP reports 4/12/94 that there will be no proclamation this year
marking National Accordion Awareness Week, National Anxiety Month
and Carpenter Ant Awareness Week. Too bad for Montana accordianists who
worry about carpenter ants. (Note: I retyped this in more or less my
own words to avoid the copyright problem.)
Governor Marc Racicot scrapped the routine proclaimations because of
budget constraints... apparently previously one staffer used to spend
about half of every day processing proclaimations when they were doing
every proclaimation requested.
The new policy was put in late last year... with no announcement, of
course.
No groups have complained. "You just have to accept it," said Williiam
Morris of the US All Presidents Day Society, which wants to mark April
30, the date when George Washington was elected, as the day to
celebrate his presidency.
If it wasn't for the change of policy, Racicot would have been busy
next month proclaiming National Memo Day and National Salad Month. Too
bad, but both will now pass unobserved.

While driving across the salt flats in Utah a few years back
(pretty dull scenery after a while), I noticed that someone
had stuck a little handmade sign into the white-topped ground
next to the highway, declaring "SALT."
That's nice, I think, and continue for another couple of miles,
where I see a little (say 10' x 10') area that somebody has
hoed, so that the white-top is mixed in with the dirt below.

Subject: How to make a toaster controller
Once upon a time, in a kingdom not far from here, a king summoned two
of his advisors for a test. He showed them both a shiny metal box with
two slots in the top, a control knob, and a lever. "What do you think
this is?"
One advisor, an engineer, answered first. "It is a toaster," he said.
The king asked, "How would you design an embedded computer for it?" The
engineer replied, "Using a four-bit microcontroller, I would write a
simple program that reads the darkness knob and quantizes its position
to one of 16 shades of darkness, from snow white to coal black. The
program would use that darkness level as the index to a 16-element
table of initial timer values. Then it would turn on the heating
elements and start the timer with the initial value selected from the
table. At the end of the time delay, it would turn off the heat and
pop up the toast. Come back next week, and I'll show you a working
prototype."
The second advisor, a computer scientist, immediately recognized the
danger of such short-sighted thinking. He said, "Toasters don't just
turn bread into toast, they are also used to warm frozen waffles. What
you see before you is really a breakfast food cooker. As the subjects
of your kingdom become more sophisticated, they will demand more
capabilities. They will need a breakfast food cooker that can also
cook sausage, fry bacon, and make scrambled eggs. A toaster that only
makes toast will soon be obsolete. If we don't look to the future, we
will have to completely redesign the toaster in just a few years."
"With this in mind, we can formulate a more intelligent solution to the
problem. First, create a class of breakfast foods. Specialize this
class into subclasses: grains, pork, and poultry. The specialization
process should be repeated with grains divided into toast, muffins,
pancakes, and waffles; pork divided into sausage, links, and bacon; and
poultry divided into scrambled eggs, hard-boiled eggs, poached eggs,
fried eggs, and various omelet classes."
"The ham and cheese omelet class is worth special attention because it
must inherit characteristics from the pork, dairy, and poultry
classes. Thus, we see that the problem cannot be properly solved
without multiple inheritance. At run time, the program must create the
proper object and send a message to the object that says, 'Cook
yourself.' The semantics of this message depend, of course, on the
kind of object, so they have a different meaning to a piece of toast
than to scrambled eggs."
"Reviewing the process so far, we see that the analysis phase has
revealed that the primary requirement is to cook any kind of breakfast
food. In the design phase, we have discovered some derived
requirements. Specifically, we need an object-oriented language with
multiple inheritance. Of course, users don't want the eggs to get cold
while the bacon is frying, so concurrent processing is required, too."
"We must not forget the user interface. The lever that lowers the food
lacks versatility, and the darkness knob is confusing. Users won't buy
the product unless it has a user-friendly, graphical interface. When
the breakfast cooker is plugged in, users should see a cowboy boot on
the screen. Users click on it, and the message 'Booting UNIX v. 8.3'
appears on the screen. (UNIX 8.3 should be out by the time the product
gets to the market.) Users can pull down a menu and click on the foods
they want to cook."
"Having made the wise decision of specifying the software first in the
design phase, all that remains is to pick an adequate hardware platform
for the implementation phase. An Intel 80386 with 8MB of memory, a
30MB hard disk, and a VGA monitor should be sufficient. If you select
a multitasking, object oriented language that supports multiple
inheritance and has a built-in GUI, writing the program will be a
snap. (Imagine the difficulty we would have had if we had foolishly
allowed a hardware-first design strategy to lock us into a four-bit
microcontroller!)."
The king had the computer scientist thrown in the moat, and they
all lived happily ever after.

Subject: Chemistry: True Story!
Introductory Chemistry at Duke has been taught for about a zillion
years by Professor Bonk (really), and his course is semi-affectionately
known as "Bonkistry." He has been around forever, so I wouldn't put it
past him to come up with something like this. Anyway, one year there
were these two guys who were taking Chemistry and who did pretty well on
all of the quizzes and the midterms and labs, etc., such that going into
the final they had a solid A. These two friends were so confident going
into the final that the weekend before finals week (even though the Chem
final was on Monday), they decided to go up to UVirginia and party with
some friends up there. So they did this and had a great time. However,
with their hangovers and everything, they overslept all day Sunday and
didn't make it back to Duke until early Monday morning. Rather than
taking the final then, what they did was to find Professor Bonk after
the final and explain to him why they missed the final. They told him
that they went up to UVa for the weekend, and had planned to come back
in time to study, but that they had a flat tire on the way back and
didn't have a spare and couldn't get help for a long time and so were
late getting back to campus. Bonk thought this over and then agreed
that they could make up the final on the following day. The two guys
were elated and relieved.
So, they studied that night and went in the next day at the time
that Bonk had told them. He placed them in separate rooms and handed
each of them a test booklet and told them to begin. They looked at the
first problem, which was something simple about molarity and solutions
and was worth 5 points. "Cool" they thought, "this is going to be
easy." They did that problem and then turned the page. They were
unprepared, however, for what they saw on the next page. It said:
(95 points) Which tire?

I was at GE Consulting's Training and Education Center in Albany, NY

Well, according to the instructor, there had been one student who had
driven up from Bridgeport, CT (corporate offices are there). He had stayed
at a nearby motel overnight, leaving his briefcase in the trunk of the car.
(Oh, let me add that it was sub-zero weather at the time of this incident).
In the morning he arrived at T&E, opened up his briefcase, took out a floppy
disk, inserted into a drive... then *c-r-a-c-k*!!! It shattered into little
pieces.
Gee.. I hope it wasn't critical information on it, with no backup :-)

"And it you can change it all back, just like this" he proclaims,subsequent

A Texan was on a driving tour of the Holy Land, and one

he rounded a bend and spied a small, neat farmhouse
surrounded by lush, green fields. Being hot and thirsty,
the Texan pulled off the road and knocked on the farmhouse
door.
When the farmer answered and discovered a visitor from

cold drink and some fresh fruit, and talk for a while.
As they chatted, the Texan became curious about life out
in the middle of the desert. He asked "How do you make a
living way out here?". The farmer replied that he did
quite nicely, raising his crops and selling them in town.
"And how much land do you have?", the Texan inquired. "Why,
rather a large amount", said the farmer, "perhaps 80 or 100
of your acres."
The Texan gave a knowing smile and said "Son, back home in
Texas, I get into my car before sunrise, and I don't reach
the end of my land till long after dark. Now what do you
think about that?".
The farmer nodded knowingly and said "I used to have a car
like that myself."

Bloom's story about Weizenbaum and ELIZA is close, but the person involved was
Daniel Bobrow, not Weizenbaum. The account was described in the December 1968
issue of the SIGART Newsletter, and was reprinted in the book Machines Who
Think, by Pamela McCorduck (p. 225).
The following is the description of the account:
"One Saturday morning about 9 A.M., a BBN Vice-President in charge of selling
our Telcomp commercial service arrived at our PDP-1 computer room hoping to be
able to use the computer for a demonstration. He found a note on the PDP-1
teletype that read: `TYPE ALL MESSAGES INTO THIS TELETYPE, AND END THEM WITH A
PERIOD'. This note was left there by one of the programming bums who had just
succeeded in making run a Lisp version of the DOCTOR program (based on ELIZA as
developed by Weizenbaum). However, the VP thought that this note indicated
that this teletype was linked with the one in my [Bobrow's] home, since I often
used the computer all night. Therefore, he started typing to `me', but in fact
was typing to this version of the DOCTOR program. The following conversation
ensued:
VP: Do you think that I can use the computer this morning?
TELETYPE: Why do you ask?
VP: I might be able to make some additional telcomp sales.
TELETYPE: Why aren't you sure?
VP: My prospective customers have never seen a demonstration
of the system.
TELETYPE: Does this mean very much to you?
VP: Of course it does.
TELETYPE: You seem very positive of that.
VP: This is ridiculous.
TELETYPE: What do you mean this is ridiculous?
VP: Is there any reason why I can't use the computer now?
TELETYPE: Tell me more about your prospective customers.
VP: Please dial me up on 491-1850
Note that after that remark the VP did not obey instructions and left out
the period. Therefore, of course, the computer didn't answer him. This
so infuriated the VP, who thought I was playing games with him, that he
called me up, woke me from a deep sleep, and said:
VP: Why are you being so snotty with me?
BOBROW: What do you mean why am I being snotty to you?
The VP angrily read the dialog that `we' had been having, and couldn't
get any response but laughter from me. It took me a while to convince
him it really was the computer".

Mr. Adams has always had a small penis. It never used to bother him too
much, until recently. It seems that he's extremely interested in a hot chick
at work and thinks that she will not like him because of his unusually tiny

So he goes to doctors and specialists and sex therapists, anyone he can

can help him. Sure, he finds a couple of temporary solutions, but nothing
works for the long term.
At his wit's end, he decides to go for more supernatural forms of therapy.
He visits fortune tellers and supposed witches and gurus of all kind. None of
these work either, until... Mr. Adams goes to a strange Indian mystic. The
mystic says that "yes, I can help you. I get customers like you all the time."
So the mystic goes to work preparing an ointment and elixir for hours. Finally
he is done. "All you need to do is rub this on your penis and then drink the
elixir. Then, for the next hour, whenever someone says to you 'excuse me' or
'pardon me' or something like that, your penis will grow a half an inch." Mr.
Adams seems a little skeptical. "My dick will grow when people say 'pardon me'
to me? That sounds really hokey." But the mystic reassures him "I know it
sounds kind of weird, but that which we do not understand, we do not believe.
I think it has something to do with other peoples kindness or reaching out or
something silly like that." Anyway, Mr. Adams buys it.
He goes home and rubs the ointment on his penis and drinks the elixir.
Then he can't get people to say "excuse me." So he decides to go to the grocery
store to do a little fake shopping. He takes his grocery cart full of food
through the store, casually bumping into other peoples carts. Inevitably, one
or two of them will say "excuse me" or "pardon me." Each time this happens, Mr.
Adams gets a euphoric rush from his pelvis. Well, it's getting close to the
hour being up and his penis is already about 8 or 9 inches long. He decides to
go for one more to complete his "masterpiece." He "accidentaly" gets his

Several years ago I was working as an instructor at a computer camp. I was
assigned to teach the introductory class in TTL logic and peripheral design.
So there I was, explaining the TTL high and low states. "Five volts
represents the 'high' state or a binary 1, and zero volts represents the
'low' state, or a binary 0." And I went on and on explaining the various
TTL Gates (AND, NOR, NAND, etc). Finally, I got to the Inverter (or NOT gate).
I explained that if you put 5 volts into it, you'll get 0 volts out, and if you
put 0 volts into it you'll get 5 volts out. To this, one person replied:
"Wouldn't that thing be awfully useful during a power failure?"

Tonight on PBS there a fascinating special documentary about
the FORBIDDEN CITY in China. The announcer mentioned that it was
forbidden because no one except emperors, their wives and UNIX were
allowed inside the city walls.
Imagine...What other operating systems were around those days? Why were they
discriminated against?
----------------------------------------------------
A while back I used to work in a company doing workstations for stock and
commodity brokers. These things are their bread and butter: if they don't
work, they can't do *a thing*. They thus tend to get frustrated easily.
One of them calls, and says, "No matter what I type, it doen't work".
Get the machine exchanged, the keyboard is hopelessly damaged. A couple
of days later, the same thing happens. We discovered that the guy used
his *telephone handset* to bang on the keyboard to flip pages. The
competition - obviously from similar experiences - had keyboards encased in
sheetmetal, with very tough springs; these people only hit one key at a time
anyway, and didn't touch type, so that was OK...
In a similar vein, a frustrated customer had, on a bad trade, *ripped* his
console from the data feed - the back panel was still hanging to the wall
outlet.
We got bit by this again when we introduced mice on our systems: now *they*
were getting banged up by people using them do dial the phone!!
To solve all these problems, we had to install routines to detect
keyboard banging (lots of keys pressed too quickly in succession) and
mouse banging (that took some work) and beep *real loud* - they'd
get embarrassed and not do it anymore. Abuse management - a whole
new area in user interfaces!

A couple summers ago, I worked at a university department where the followi

event occured. One of the people in accounting had this program called
DRAIN.EXE which first displays a message
System Error -- There is water in the disk drive
Taking care of it now
Draining water from disk drive
This is when the program starts to make trickling sounds. Then, after a fe
w
seconds, it would print the message
Starting spin cycle
Here, the disk drive would start spinning and the computer makes a sort of
whirring sound which increases incrementally in pitch.
Then it would all stop and display the message that everything was now OK
and the person could use the computer. Well, as I said, one person had this
program which he left on a disk in the victim's computer. He naturally set-up
the AUTOEXEC.BAT file to run the program. Having been forewarned about the
afternoon entertainment, we waited for the tell-tale noise. Later, as planned
the victim turns on her computer.
As we listened, we heard the trickling sound. Then it stopped. Then we
heard it again. When we looked into her office, she looking underneath the
computer. Perhaps she was looking for the water draining out of the disk drive.

Not long after, however the farmer had occasion to go from home, and
his wife, not minding his threats, nor regarding the sight of her
coffin, took the opportunity of drinking her fill; the farmer coming

Subject: Corpse humour.
A lecturer at a medical college asked a colleague to help him with
a shenanigan. He explained that he was shortly conducting a tour for
prospective students, during which they would be coming down to the
vaults to get their first look at a corpse. The idea was that his
friend would play the corpse, and when his drawer was opened and the
visitors were examining he would suddenly jump to his feet, thereby
scaring the life out of them.
The friend agreed, and at the appointed hour the lecturer loaded him
into the cold storage unit.
It was only when he was inside that he realized that the storage unit was
not divided into individual cubicles. Instead, each slab was suspended on
rails in a large open chamber, and he was surrounded by corpses on all
sides.
After a few minutes he found the whole thing a bit too creepy, and he
began hesitantly to call out things like, "Errm, Dave... maybe this
wasn't such a good idea after all... d'you think you could let me out,
I've changed my mind..... *are you listening...?* _Is There Anyone Out
There...?_, HEELLLOOO..., HELP???!..."
Whereupon the body on the slab next to him leaned over, tapped him on
the shoulder and, in a deep voice, said, "Would you keep the noise down,
there's people in here trying to sleep!"
Naturally he screamed, and started hammering to be let out. Finally the
drawer was opened and his slab was pulled out. He leapt off into the
outside room... where most of the faculty were waiting for him, having
been listening outside the whole time.

Subject: Humor: An airline pilot with a PR problem (clean)
A friend of a friend, who is an airline copilot, told the following stories
about a captain with whom he often flew. This man was an excellent pilot,
but not very good at making passengers feel at ease.
For example, one time the airplane preceeding him blew a tire on landing,
scattering chunks of rubber all over the runway. He was asked to hold descent
while the trucks came out and cleaned up. His announcement to the passengers:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm afraid there will be a
short delay before our arrival. They've closed the
airport while they clean up what's left of the last
airplane that landed there."
- - - - - - - -
Then there was the time they were flying through turbulence. Some of the
passengers became alarmed at how much the wings were bending in the rough air,
and one of the flight attendants relayed their concern to the captain. His
announcement to the passengers:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I've been informed that some
of you have noticed our wings bending in the turbulence.
In fact, the flight attendant told me that the wing
tips are bending as much as ten feet in the bumps.
Well, that's perfectly normal; there's nothing to
worry about. Our wings are designed to bend as much
as thirteen feet at the tips and, as you can see,
we're nowhere near that yet."

CARTOON LAWS OF PHYSICS
Cartoon Law I:
Any body suspended in space will remain in space until made aware of it's
situation.
Daffy Duck steps off a cliff, expecting further pastureland. He loiters
in midair, soliloquizing flippantly, until he chances to look down. At
this point, the familiar principle of 32 feet per second takes over.
Cartoon Law II:
Any body in motion will tend to remain in motion until solid matter
intervenes suddenly.
Whether shot from a cannon or in hot pursuit on foot, chartoon characters
are so absolute in ther momentum that only a telephone pole or an
outsized boulder retards their forward motion absolutely. Sir Isaac
Newton called this sudden termination of motion the Stooge's surcease.
Cartoon Law III:
Any body passing through solid matter will leave a perforation conforming
to it's perimeter.
Also called the silhouette of passage, this phenomenon is the specialty
of victims of direct-pressure explosions and reckless cowards who are so
eager to escape that they exit directly through the wall of a house,
leaving a cookie-cutout perfect hole. The threat of skunks or matrimony
often catalyzes this reaction.
Cartoon Law IV:
The time required for an object to fall twenty stories is greater than or
equal to the time it takes for whoever knocked it off the ledge to spiral
down twenty flights to attempt to capture it unbroken.
Such an object is inevitably priceless, the attempt to catch it
inevitably unsuccessful.
Cartoon Law V:
All principles of gravity are negated by fear.
Phychic forces are sufficient in most bodies for a shock to propel them
directly away from the earth's surface. A spooky noise or an adversary's
signature sound will induce motion upward, usually to the cradle of a
chandlier, a treetop, or the crest of a flagpole. The feet of a
character who is running or the wheels of a speeding auto need never
touch the ground, especially when in flight.
Cartoon Law VI:
As speed increases, objects can be in several places at once.
This is particularly true of tooth and claw fights, in which a
character's head may be glimpsed emerging from the cloud of altercation
at several places simultaneously. This effect is common as well among
bodies that are spinning or being throttled. A 'wacky' character has the
option of self-replication only at manic high speeds and may ricochet off
walls to achieve the velocity required.
Cartoon Law VII:
Certain bodies can pass through solid walls painted to resemble tunnel
entrances, others cannot.
This trompe l'oeil inconsistency has baffled generations, but at least it
is known that whoever paints an entrance on a wall's surface to trick an
opponent will be unable to pursue him into this theoretical space. The
painter is flattened against the wall when he attempts to follow into the
painting. This is ultimately the problem of art, not science.
Cartoon Law VIII:
A violent rearrangement of feline matter is impermanent.
Cartoon cats possess even more deaths than the traditional nine lives
might comfortably afford. They can be decimated, spliced, splayed,
accordian-pleated, spindled or disassembled, but they cannot be
destroyed. After a few seconds of blinking self-pity, they reinflate,
elongate, snap back, or solidify.
Corollary: A cat will assume the shape of it's container.
Cartoon Law IX:
Everything falls faster than an anvil.
Cartoon Law X:
For every vengeance there is an equal and opposite revengeance.
This is the one law of animated cartoon motion that applies to the
physical world at large. For that reason, we need the relief of watching
it happen to a duck.
Cartoon Law Amendment A:
A sharp object will always propel a character upaward.
When poked (usually in the buttocks) with a sharp object (usually a pin)
a character will defy gravity by shooting straight up, with great velocity.
Cartoon Law Amendment B:
The laws of object permanence are nullified for 'cool' characters.
Characters who are intended to be 'cool' can make previously non-existent
objects appear from behind their backs at will. For instance, the road
runner can materialize signs to express himself without speaking.
Cartoon Law Amendent C:
Gravity is transmitted by slow moving waves of large wavelength.
Their operation can be witnessed by observing the behavior of a canine
suspended over a large vertical drop. It's feet will begin to fall
first, causing it's legs to stretch. As the wave reaches it's torso,
that part will begin to fall, causing the neck to stretch. As the head
begins to fall, tension is released and the canine will resume it's
regular proportions until such a time as it strikes the ground.
Cartoon Law Amendment D:
Explosive weapons cannot cause fatal injuries. They merely turn
characters temporarily black and smoky.
Cartoon Law Amendment E:
Dynamite is spontaneoulsy generated in "C-spaces" (spaces in which
cartoon laws hold).
This process is analagous to steady-state theories of the universe which
postulate that the tensions involved in maintaining a space would cause
the creation of hydrogen from nothing. Dynamite quanta are quite large
(stick sized) and unstable (lit). Such quanta are attracted to psychic
forces generated by feelings of distress in cool characters (see
amendment B which may be a special case of this law), who are able to use
said quanta to their advantage. One may imagine C-spaces where all
matter and energy result from primal masses of dynamite exploding.
A big bang indeed.

A deaf couple checks into a motel very late at night. Upon moving into
their assigned room, they go to bed. But in the middle of the night, the
woman has a headache, so she goes into the bathroom for aspirin. But she
finds none, and remembers that the bottle of aspirin is still in the car.
Afraid to go out alone at night, she awakens her husband and asks him to
go get the aspirin from the car. The very groggy husband puts on his robe
and toddles wearily outside. He finds the bottle of the aspirin in the car's
glove compartment, and gets ready to go back to the room when he realizes
something: he can't remember which room was his! He thinks and thinks and
then gets an idea. He opens the car again and honks the steering wheel horn
several times. Within a minute, all the motel's windows lighten up --
except one window, and of course, he makes for the room with that window.

Diffusion and Driving Habits in the Boston Metropolitan Area
The following was presented to me by Livia Racz (bink@athena.mit.edu).
This comes from a lecture given by Professor D. R. Sadoway on atomistic
diffusion...
-------------
Most people drive by the vacancy mechanism. If you're standing at a
traffic light, you'll notice that you get to move when the vacancy is in
front of you. That's in most civilized places. Fortunately, you live in a
part of the world where this is not the case. There are certain places
where people drive by the interstitialcy mechanism; this is one of them.
(The interstitialcy mechanism, for those of you who don't know, is where
one atom knocks another atom out of its lattice site to an interstitial
point, and the first atom takes its place...)

Subject: Dumb lady who can't say no.
A lady was talking to a radio show host and was talking about how she just
couldn't say no.
"I am very easily seduced and usually always end up in bed. What
can I do to not get pregnant?"
"Well, you can try this method. Just before the man is about to
orgasm, say, 'Alright smartass, what are you gonna name
the kid?' and he will leave."
"Ok, I'll try it..."
So, the very next weekend, she was at a dance club with a friend (female)
and this fella came up to her and eventually got her in bed. She could
tell he was about to orgasm and she stopped him and said, "Ok, smartass,
what are you gonna name the baby?"
He was so scared, he left the building almost undressed.
The next weekend, the girl was at a bar with a couple of her female
friends and another fella came up to her and eventually got her in bed at
her place. Just as he was about to orgasm, she stopped him and said, "Ok,
smartass, what are you gonna name the kid?" He shot out of there so
quickly, she didn't know what happened.
Needless to say, she was rather satisfied with the method.
Well, the next weekend, she was back at the dance club and a guy who saw
her get seduced by the other guy a couple of weeks ago came up to her and
get her in bed. However, he was smarter than the other two and used a
condem. Just as he was about to orgasm, she stopped him and said, "Ok
smartass, what are you gonna name the baby?" He just kept right on a goin.
Rather shocked, she said, "OK SMARTASS, what are you gonna name the baby?"
He just ignored her and did his thing. Finally, they all done and were
lying there on the bed, she said one last time, "OK SMARTASS, WHAT ARE YOU
GONNA NAME THE BABY?" He got up and pulled off his condem, tied it in a
know and said, "Houdini if he can get out of this thing..."

Subject: Humor: A man and woman crash a car (very risque)
A man and a woman decided to travel to a deserted mountain road to make
love. They park the car on a sloping shoulder off the road, take off all
of their clothes, hop into the back seat, and start to rock the car.
Well, the car is an older model, and they forget to set the emergency
brake properly, and so the car starts rolling. Off the slope, over a small
overhang, and crashes. The woman is thrown clear, but the man is pinned
inside the car.
Man: "You're going to have to go get some help, I'm stuck."
Woman: "Go get some help? I'm completely naked, you idiot."
The man grumbles, gropes around the car as best he can, and pulls
out one of his shoes. "Here," he says, "put this where it will do you
the most good, and go get some help, fer Chrissakes."
So the woman wedges the shoe between her legs, and starts waddling down
the road.
Soon, she reaches a little shack. She knocks on the door, and an old
grizzled gentleman answers.
"You've got to help my boyfriend," blurts the nearly-naked woman, "he's
stuck."
The old gentleman eyes the woman up and down and replies, "Honey, if
he's in that far, I can't help him."

Subject: Newspaper report from Japan + Irish joke on sandwiches
#1
In a newspaper it was reported that a company in Japan has
started a rail tour for Japanese women. This tour has an unusual
theme as it centres around the hijacking of the train by a team
of 'terrorists'! Apparently the terrorists will subject these
female tourists to all of the usual 'terror' associated with such
events. The company has been overwhelmed by enquiries and
bookings!
#2
Working on a new building are three construction workers - Jim
the Englishman, Jock the Scotsman and Paddy the Irishman. The
building has reached 15 floors and it is there that we find the 3
workers sitting down to eat their lunch.
Jim opens his lunchbox and groans "Oh no! Not cheese and onion
sandwiches again! My wife has given me the same sandwiches for
lunch for the last 8 years. I'm sick of it. If she gives me
cheese and onion sandwiches once more, I think I'll jump off this
building and end it all!"
Jock opens his lunchbox "Damn! Tuna fish again! This has been the
same for every lunch for the last 12 years. I'm with you Jim, if
my wife gives me tuna in my sandwiches again I'm going to jump
off this building!"
Now it's Paddy's turn "Hell, for the 20 years now I've got
chicken sandwiches for lunch. I'm with you fellas. Chicken once
more and I'm jumping."
The following day finds the three friends sat on the edge of the
15th floor with lunch boxes on their laps. Opening his box Jim
looks, says "Typical - bloody cheese and onion" and jumps off to
his death. Jock opens his box and cries "I can't stand it - tuna
fish again!". Jock hurls himself to the ground 15 floors below.
Paddy is clearly impressed by this demonstration of solidarity
and when he opens his box he looks inside and throws himself off
followed by chicken sandwiches.
A week later the coroner declares that in all 3 cases the court
has no choice but to decide on death by misadventure. However, as
he looks meaningfully towards the three widows sat together, he
adds "This is a most distressing case. Three men have died in the
their prime. We have heard evidence that in all three cases the
fall from the top of the building immediately followed the
opening of their lunch boxes. It is difficult not to conclude
that something in those lunch boxes contributed to this tragic
event."
As the widows left the court Jim's wife wipes tears from her eyes
and says to the other widows "Well no-one can blame me for Jim's
death. All that was in his lunch box were his cheese and onion
sandwiches, which I've made him for the last 8 years. He loves
his cheese and onion sandwiches." Jock's wife adds "Aye and there
can be no blame for me for what happened to Jock. His lunch box
had his tuna fish sandwiches, which I've been making him for the
last 12 years. He loved his tuna fish sandwiches." Finally
Paddy's wife sobbed "And no-one can blame me as Paddy's box only
contained his chicken sandwiches, which he's been making for
himself every day for the last 20 years!"

Subject: Brooster the Rooster
This is the story of Brewster the Rooster.
There was this farmer, and his hens had stopped producing eggs.
Well, he talked to a buddy of his who offered to sell him a rooster
that would help up his production. His price was $150.00, but came
with a money- back guarantee. Now this farmer had already spent
$200.00 on two previous roosters that didn't work out on account of
they couldn't satisfy his hens.
Anyhow, he gambled and bought this third rooster, who's name
(you guessed it) is Brewster.
Well, he got Brewster home an' threw him in the henhouse. There
was all this cacklin' & squawkin', and the farmer thought, poor
Brewster, he ain't a gonna make it.
He comes back to the henhouse 1/2 an hour later and everythings'
quiet.
He takes a peek in there, and all the hens are satisfied & fast
asleep.
Suddenly, he heard a terrible racket out in the barn, so he ran to it
and ripped the doors open. To his surprise, there was Brewster with
all the cows lined up, and he was trying his best to mate with them!
"God bless it!" the farmer said, "Brewster, you're going to kill
yourself!" Brewster didn't pay him no mind, and kept right on at it.
Well, the farmer had some more work to do, so he left him there, and
came back a couple of hours later.
He opened up the barn doors, and durned if the cows weren't fast
asleep! So he went to check on the horses, and they were tired out &
fast asleep too!!!
Then he heard a ruckus from out behind the barn, and rushed to see
what was the matter. Sure enough, it was Brewster, and he had all
the pigs lined up, and he was still going strong!!! He cried
"BREWSTER! You're Going To Kill Yourself!!!" And with that he tried
to pull him off, but there weren't no budging him.
Well, it was about the time for Farmer John to turn in, so he
did. The next morning, he came out into the backyard, tripping over
his satisfied & sleeping dog. After checking on all the animals &
finding them in the same condition, he started looking for Brewster.
But Brewster was nowhere to be found. Finally heading out to
the fields, he found him, as a result of the vultures circling over
Brewster.
Brewster was lying on his back, ....both legs in the air,
....tongue dried & hanging out, ....one eye open & glassy, ...one
wing over his chest, and the other splayed out on the ground.
Farmer John took a ragged breath and said "Brewster, I told you once,
I told you a million times, You were going to kill yourself, and now
look at you!!!!"
Brewster slowly opened up his other eye, brought the wing on his
chest up to his beak as he tried to speak. Farmer John leaned closer
so he could hear Brewster's last words....
Brewster opened up his beak, pointed up to the vultures, and
said:
" Shhhh. Go'way. They're about to land. "

Subject: Bedroom Golf (Sexual theme, kindof)
Rules of Bedroom Golf
1) Each player shall furnish his own equipment for play, normally one club
and two balls.
2) Play on a course must be approved by the owner of the hole.
3) Unlike outdoor golf, the objective is to get the club in the hole and
keep the balls out of the hole.
4) For the most effective play, the club should have a firm shaft. Coarse
owners are permitted to check shaft stiffness before play begins.
5) Course owners reserve the right to restrict the length of the club to
avoid damage to the hole.
6) The object of the game is to take as many strokes as necessary until the
course owner is satisfied that the play is complete. Failure to do so may
result in being denied permission to play the course again.
7) It is considered bad form to begin playing the hole immediately upon
arrival at the course. The experienced player will normally take time
to admire the entire course, with special attention to well formed bunkers.
8) Players are cautioned not to mention other courses they have played, or are
currently playing, to the owner of the course being played. Upset course
owners have been known to damage a player's equipment for this reason.
9) Players are encouraged to have proper rain gear along, just in case.
10) Players should assure themselves that their match has been properly
scheduled, particulary when a new course is being played for the first time.
Previous players are have been known to become irate if they
discover someone else playing what they consider to be a private course.
11) Players should not assume a course is in shape for play at all times. Some
players may be embarrassed if they find the course to be temporarily under
repair. Players are advised to be extremely tactful in this situation. More
advanced players will find alternate means of play when this is the case.
12) Players are advised to obtain the course owner's permission before
attempting the back nine.
13) Slow play is encouraged, however, players should be prepared to
proceed at a quicker pace, at least temporarily, at the course owner's request.
14) It is considered outstanding performance, time permitting, to play the
same hole several times in one match.
15) Loss of balls in ruff will result in immediate dismissal from the course.
16) The course owner will be the sole judge of who is the best player.

hunting season, one asked, "Tell me, Bob, did You screw that old bag
we stayed with last year?"
"Yes," admitted Bob, "I'm afraid I did."
"And you used my name - and told her you were me?"
"Yeah, I did that too," laughed Bob. "I didn't knock her up, did I?"
"No, no," smiled Bob's friend. "It's just that she died yesterday and
left me the house and a couple of hundred thousand big ones."

"Why are You so down?", Wade asked a depressed man at the health
club. "When I saw you here yesterday, you were arm in arm with that
gorgeous areobics instructor."
"Well, we went to her place and had a few drinks," the man explained.
"Then she said, 'Marvin, take off my blouse', and a moment later,
'Marvin, take off my leotard.' Before long, she said, 'Marvin, take
off my bra.' Then, finally, she said, 'Oh, Marvin, take off my
panties'."
"Oh, You had it made!" Wade moaned enviously, "Was it great?"
"I suppose so. But after that, I couldn't se epast Marvin."

One man (John) desperetly wants to fuck a woman, but all her lady-
friens are out of town, or otherwise unavailable. He goes to a friend
Joe, who is a gigolo. "I need a woman, please help me out", he tells
to his friend.
"OK, that's easy. Go with train. After three stops You must exit the
train. There You will see a 3-floor building. Go to appartement no.
7. When the woman opens the door, just say, 'I came here to fuck
You.'. It's as simple as this."
Off John goes. Time flies in a train, cause John examines with his
eyes all the women in the train. (unfortunately he misses one train-
stop.) When he exits the train, he actually notices a three- floor
house (but this is another one). He goes to appartement no. 7 and
tells the lady, "I'm here to Fuck You". They get inside, undressed and
right to the bed. Afrer few "rounds" John hears that someone opening
the front door. He tries to dress himself, but he's not fast enough.
The husband enters: "IN WHITCH TRAIN STOP I DID TELL YOU TO EXIT!"
yells Joe.

Subject: Racial (offensive to blacks and Jews)
Little Johny came home one day and asked his mother (who was Jewish) if he
was more black or more Jewish. His mother said that she did not know and
told him to ask his father. He asked his father (who was black) the same
question, "Am I more black or more Jewish?" His father didn't know the
answer to that question either. He then asked him why he wanted to know?
Little Johnny says "Well there's a kid down the street trying to sell a
bicycle and I don't know whether to Jew him down or steal the damn thing."
