[JOTD] The ocean of beer
-
Yeah, it's probably a repost. So what? ;) It might even cool the tempers round here. Two men were adrift in a life boat following a shipwreck. While rummaging through the boat's provisions, one of the men came across an old lamp. He rubbed the lamp vigorously. To the amazement of the castaways, a genie appeared! This particular genie, however, stated that he could only deliver one wish, not the standard three. Without giving much thought to the matter the man blurted out, "Make the entire ocean into beer!" Immediately the Genie clapped his hands with a deafening crash, and the entire sea turned to the finest brew ever sampled by mortals. Simultaneously, the Genie vanished to his freedom. Only the gentle lapping of beer on the hull broke the sudden stillness as the the two men considered their circumstances. The other man looked disgustedly at the one whose wish had been granted. After a long, tension-filled moment, he spoke: "Nice going! Now we're going to have to pee in the boat!"
Cheers, Vikram.

Two brother's rented a boat and went fishing. All day long they fished and fished but couldn't catch anything. They went all over the lake but no matter where they went, no fish would take the bait. As sundown approached, they started to get concerned that they would not catch anything at all when suddenly they started to catch fish every time they cast a line. Within minutes they had caught their limit and decided to return to the rental store to turn in the boat. As they walked up to their car, the older brother turned and said, "We'll have to come back tomorrow and this time we'll start fishing first at that same spot". The younger one replied, "Good idea. That's why I marked the bottom of the boat with a big X". The older brother screamed out, "You idiot, how do you know we will get the same boat tomorrow." :)

This is probably a repost as well, but it makes me chuckle... Two engineering students were walking across campus when one said, "Where did you get such a great bike?" The second engineer replied, "Well, I was walking along yesterday minding my own business when a beautiful woman rode up on this bike. She threw the bike to the ground, took off all her clothes and said, "Take what you want". The second engineer nodded approvingly, "Good choice; her clothes probably wouldn't have fit you, anyway."

one of my all time favorites. Of course it is just engineer's dreams that any woman would actually do that. ;-) Even the women who only date engineers are only after the money, unless they are already engineers in which case there are very few and taken fast. :-D

I saw one at Siggraph, a lady, tall, reasonably slim but no where near anorexic, and extremely well built on top. She wore a tight fitting T-Shirt that read, "I only date nerds." or something to that extent (might have been geeks, my memory is failing). I saw her later with one of the speakers in arm. Yup, definitely a groupie, but they are few and far between. got to watch those though... you don't always know the motivations. My 1st ex just wanted a stepping stone while waiting to get to someone else. My 2nd ex only wanted the money.

Hey, Anna! Good to hear from you. It seems like I haven't 'seen' you in the Lounge in quite a while (I assume that means that Riverblade is going gangbusters).

Fold With Us![^]Hiya Gary!:) I'm still around...I've been mostly lurking for a while as I didn't feel I had much to contribute beyond what I was doing with the company - and I didn't want to inadvertantly stray into "product plug" teritory. :rolleyes: At the moment I've a little more time (the ACCU Conference and end of year have passed), so I'm catching up on things...I've two article updates and a new one to publish, for a start. :)
