    (My Favorite JOTD) A ski instructor was explaining to his students how to test for thin ice. "There are two methods to test the ice,", he said in a loud voice, "one is the right way and one is the wrong way!". After this he tapped his foot on the ice and immediately disappeared in the icy water underneath as the layer of ice broke. He continued his lecture after 5 minutes from his blanket, "Well, that, of course," he said in a wheezing voice, "was the wrong way!". If you'd heard that one (I had), here's another: Ol' Fred had been a faithful Christian and was in the hospital, near death. The family called their preacher to stand with them. As the preacher stood next to the bed, Ol' Fred's condition appeared to deteriorate, and he motioned frantically for something to write on. The pastor lovingly handed him a pen and a piece of paper, and Ol' Fred used his last bit of energy to scribble a note, then he died. The preacher thought it best not to look at the note at that time, so he placed it in his jacket pocket. At the funeral, as he was finishing the message, he realized that he was wearing the same jacket that he was wearing when Ol' Fred died. He said, "You know, Ol' Fred handed me a note just before he died. I haven't looked at it, but knowing Fred, I'm sure there's a word of inspiration there for us all." He opened the note, and read, "Hey!! You're standing on my oxygen tube!"

      I didn't get the first one (unless it was really bad), but the second was hilareous! :-D

        Er... The instructor was supposed to show them the right way to do it, but could not do it himself and fell into the ice. Later he was just trying to save his ass face when he said that he just demo'd the wrong way. Hmm, I'm not good at explaining things. Can't admit it was bad, can I? :suss:
