After having dug to a depth of 10 meters last year, Scottish scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 100 years and came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network more than 100 years ago.

Not to be outdone by the Scots, in the weeks that followed, English scientists dug to a depth of 20 meters, and shortly after, headlines in the UK newspapers read: "English archaeologists have found traces of 200 year old copper wire and have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network a hundred years earlier than the Scots."

One week later a Minnesota newspaper reported the following: "After digging as deep as 30 meters in corn fields near Lake Superior, Ole Johnson, a self taught archeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing. Ole has therefore concluded that 300 years ago Norwegians were already using wireless."

Reunion

Postby michaelmaclauchlan » Thu Apr 26, 2007 3:51 pm

"There are always two ways to look at everything, I guess.

My wife and I were sitting at a table at my high school reunion,
and I kept staring at a drunken lady swigging her drink as she sat alone at a
nearby table.

My wife asks, "Do you know her?"

"Yes," I sighed, "She's my old girlfriend. I understand she took to
drinking right after we split up those many years ago, and I hear she hasn't
been sober since."

"My God!" says my wife, "Who would think a person could go on
celebrating that long?" "

One for Rit (Americanized version)....



A very successful lawyer parked his brand new Lexus in front of the office, ready to show it off to his colleagues.

As he got out, a truck came along too close and completely tore off the driver's door.

Fortunately, a cop was close enough to see the accident and pulled up behind the Lexus, his lights flashing.

But, before the cop had a chance to ask any questions, the lawyer started screaming hysterically about he'd now be late for court, but was even louder about how his Lexus, which he had just picked up the day before, was now completely ruined and would never be the same, no matter how the body shop tried to make it new again.

After the lawyer finally wound down from his rant, the cop shook his head in disgust and disbelief. "I can't believe how materialistic you lawyers are," he said.

"You are so focused on your possessions that you neglect the most important things in life."

"How can you say such a thing?" asked the lawyer.

The cop replied, "Don't you even realize that your left arm is missing? It got ripped off when the truck hit you!"

"OH, MY GOD!" screamed the lawyer.


"MY ROLEX!"

A Kansas City lawyer went duck hunting in rural Kansas . He shot and dropped a bird,

but it fell into a farmer's field on the other side of a fence.

As the lawyer climbed over the fence, an elderly farmer drove up on his tractor and

asked him what he was doing.

The litigator responded, "I shot a duck and it fell in this field, and now I'm going to retrieve it."

The old farmer replied, "This is my property, and you are not coming over here."

The indignant lawyer said, "I am one of the best trial attorneys in the United

States and, if you don't let me get that duck, I'll sue you and take everything you own."

The old farmer smiled and said, "Apparently, you don't know how we settle disputes

In Kansas. We settle small disagreements with the 'Three Kick Rule.'"

The lawyer asked, "What is the 'Three Kick Rule'?"

The Farmer replied, "Well, because the dispute occurs on my land,

I get to go first. I kick you three times and then you kick me three

times and so on back and forth until someone gives up."

The attorney quickly thought about the proposed contest and decided that he

could easily take the old codger. He agreed to abide by the local custom.

The old farmer slowly climbed down from the tractor and walked up to the attorney.

His first kick planted the toe of his heavy steel toed work boot into the lawyer's groin

and dropped him to his knees.

His second kick to the midriff sent the lawyer's last meal gushing from his mouth.

The lawyer was on all fours when the farmer's third kick to his rear end, sent him face-first

into a fresh cow pie.

The lawyer summoned every bit of his will and managed to get to his feet.

Wiping his face with the arm of his jacket, he said, "Okay, you old goat. Now it's my turn."


The old farmer smiled and said, "Nah, I give up. You can have the duck."

Some Oklahoma jokes for Mondojohnny and everyone else from unwind.com

You Know You're From Oklahoma If...

- It doesn't seem odd to see the term "chicken fried chicken" on a menu.

- You have used the phrase "fixin' to" during the last 12 months.

- Someone you know has used a football schedule to plan their wedding date.

- You can properly pronounce Eufaula, Gotebo, and Okemah.

- You know exactly what calf fries are, and eat them anyway.

- When someone refers to the current season, you have no idea if they mean spring, summer, fall, winter or football.

- You think that people who complain about the wind in other states are sissies.

- It bothers you not one iota to use an airport named for a man who died in an airplane crash.

- A bad traffic jam involves two cars staring each other down at a four-way stop, each determined to be the most polite and let the other go first.

Talking of humour, has anyone checked out Iain Lee's Shindiggery podcast? Some of it's really laugh out loud hilarious...

Barman says: "No."

A man walked into a cafe, went to the bar and ordered a beer.

"Certainly, Sir, that'll be one cent."

"One Cent?" the man thought.

He glanced at the menu and asked, "How much for a nice juicy steak and a
bottle of wine?"

"A nickel," the barman replied.

"A nickel?" exclaimed the man. "Where's the guy who owns this place?"

The bartender replied, "Upstairs, with my wife."

The man asked, "What's he doing upstairs with your wife?"

The bartender replied,

"The same thing I'm doing to his business down here."

FUN THINGS TO DO AT WORK....

Postby Ritbitboy » Thu Oct 18, 2007 8:31 am

1. Totally Ignore the first five people who say "Good Morning" to you.

2. Phone someone in the office you barely know, leave your name and say, "just called to say I can't talk right now. Bye".

3. To signal the end of a conversation, clamp your hands over your ears and grimace.

4. When someone hands you a piece of paper, finger it, and whisper huskily, "mmmmmm, that feels soooo good!"

5. Leave your fly's open for one hour. If anyone points it out say, "Sorry I really prefer it this way, it lets the smell out".

6. In the middle of a meeting, suddenly shout out YAHTZEE".

7. Walk sideways to the photocopier, crab style.

8. Say to your manager, "I like your style" and shoot him with double-barreled fingers.

9. Babble incoherently at a fellow employee then ask, "Did you get all that, cause I don't want to repeat it".

10. Press the "no cup option" on the coffee machine, kneel down and drink directly from the nozzle.

11. At the end of a meeting, suggest that for once, it would be nice to conclude with the singing of the National Anthem (extra respect if you actually launch into it yourself).

12.Walk into a very busy person's office and while they watch you with growing irritation, turn the light switch off & on 10 times.

13. For an hour, refer to everyone you speak with as "Barbara"

14. After every sentence, say 'Mon' in a really bad Jamaican accent. As in, "the report's on your desk, Mon". Keep this up for 1 hour.

15.In a meeting or crowded situation, slap your forehead repeatedly and mutter, "Shut up dammit, all of you just shut up".

16. At lunchtime, get down on your knees and announce, "As God as my witness, I will never go hungry again".

17.In a colleague's diary, write in 10:00 am; "see how I look in tights".

18.Carry your keyboard over to your colleague, and ask, "do you want to trade?"

19.Come to work in army camoflauge and when asked why, say,"I can't talk about it".

20. Hang a 2 foot long piece of toilet paper from the back of your trousers, and act genuinely surprised when someone points it out.

21. Disappear into the toilets and emerge with your trousers over your head, then commence a 2 minute sprint around the office whilst holding your hands out to your side and making aeroplane noises. Return back to the toilets, get dressed again and return quietly to your seat as if nothing had happened.
