Joke - The Blonde Pilot...




The Blonde Pilot


A blonde went to a helicopter flight school insisting she wanted to learn
to fly that day.

As all the planes were currently in use, the owner agreed to instruct her
on how to pilot the helicopter solo by radio.

He took her out, showed her how to start it, gave her the basics, and
 sent her on her way.

After she climbed 1000 feet, she radioed in. "I'm doing great! I love it!
The view is so beautiful and I'm starting to get the hang of this!"

After 2000 feet, she radioed again saying how easy it was becoming.

The instructor watched her climb over 3000 feet and was beginning to
worry that she hadn't radioed in.

A few minutes later, he watched in horror as she crashed about half a
mile away.

He ran over and pulled her from the wreckage. When he asked what
happened, she said, "I don't know! Everything was going fine, but as I got
higher, I was starting to get cold. I can't remember anything after I turned
off the big fan."

Joke - How The Internet Started...





How The Internet Started


A revelation with an Incredibly Big Message (IBM):


Well, you might have thought that you knew how the Internet started,
but here's the TRUE story...

In ancient Israel, it came to pass that a trader by the name of Abraham
Com did take unto himself a young wife by the name of Dot.

And Dot Com was a comely woman, broad of shoulder and long of leg.
Indeed, she was often called Amazon Dot Com.

And she said unto Abraham, her husband, "Why dost thou travel so far
from town to town with thy goods when thoust can trade without ever
leaving thy tent?"

And Abraham did look at her - as though she were several saddle
bags short of a camel load, but simply said, "How, dear?"

And Dot replied, "I will place drums in all the towns and drums in
between to send messages saying what you have for sale, and they
will reply telling you who hath the best price. And the sale can be
made on the drums and delivery made by Uriah's Pony Stable (UPS)."

Abraham thought long and decided he would let Dot have her way with
the drums. And the drums rang out and were an immediate success.
Abraham sold all the goods he had at the top price without ever having
to move from his tent.

To prevent neighboring countries from overhearing what the drums were
saying, Dot devised a system that only she and the drummers knew. It was
called Must Send Drum Over Sound (MSDOS). She also developed a
language to transmit ideas and pictures - Hebrew To The People (HTTP).

But this success did arouse envy. A man named Maccabia did secret
himself inside Abraham's drum and began to siphon off some of
Abraham's business. But he was soon discovered, arrested and
prosecuted - for insider trading.

And the young men did take to Dot Com's trading as doth the greedy
horsefly take to camel dung.

They were called Nomadic Ecclesiastical Rich Dominican Sybarites, or
NERDS. And lo, the land was so feverish with joy at the new riches and
the deafening sound of drums that no one noticed that the real riches
were going to that enterprising drum dealer, Brother William of Gates,
who bought off every drum maker in the land.

And indeed did insist on drums to be made that would work only with
Brother Gates' drumheads and drumsticks.

And Dot did say, "Oh, Abraham, what we have started is being taken
over by others."

And Abraham looked out over the Bay of Ezekiel, or eBay as it came to
be known. He said, "We need a name that reflects what we are."

And Dot replied, "Young Ambitious Hebrew Owner Operators."

"YAHOO," said Abraham. And because it was Dot's idea, they named
it YAHOO Dot Com.

Abraham's cousin, Joshua, being the young Gregarious Energetic
Educated Kid (GEEK) that he was, soon started using Dot's drums
to locate things around the countryside. It soon became known as
God's Own Official Guide to Locating Everything (GOOGLE)

And that is how it all began.

Joke - Bite My Eye...



Bite My Eye

A man walks into a bar, has a few drinks, and asks for the total of
his tab. The bartender replies that it is twenty dollars plus tip.

The guy says, "I'll bet you my tab double or nothing that I can bite
my eye."

The bartender accepts the bet and the guy pulls out his glass eye and
bites it.

He has a few more drinks and asks for his bill again. The bartender
reports that his bill now is thirty dollars plus tip. He bets the
bartender he can bite his other eye. The bartender accepts knowing
the man can't possibly have two glass eyes.

The guy then proceeds to take out his false teeth and bite his other eye.
