    This guy walks into the bank, goes up to the counter, pull out a gun and says to the teller, 'Give me all your money or you're Geography.'

    A baby turtle was standing at the bottom of a large tree and with a deep sigh, started to climb. About an hour later, he reached a very high branch and walked along to the end. He turned and spread all four flippers and launched himself off the branch. On landing at the bottom in a pile of soft, dead leaves, he shook himself off, walked back to the bottom of the tree and with a sigh started to climb.

    About an hour later, he again reached the very high branch, walked along, turned, spread his flippers and flung himself off the branch. Again, he landed on the bottom, shook himself off, went to the bottom of the tree, sighed and started climbing.

    Watching these proceedings from the end of the branch were two little birds. Mummy bird turned to Daddy bird and said, "Don't you think it's time we told him he was adopted?"



    My wife, who is blonde, came running up to me in the driveway, the other day, just jumping for joy! I didn't know why she was jumping for joy but I thought, what the heck and I starting jumping up and down along with her.
    When she said, "Honey, I have some really great news for you!"
    I said "Great. Tell me what you're so happy about."
    She stopped jumping and was breathing heavily from all the jumping up and down, when she told me that she was pregnant!
    I was ecstatic!
    We had been trying for a while, so I grabbed her and kissed her on the lips and told her, "That's great! I couldn't be happier!"
    Then, she said "Oh, honey, There's more."
    I asked, "What do you mean 'more'?"
    She said, "Well, we are not having just one baby. We are going to have TWINS!"
    Amazed at how she could know so soon after getting pregnant, I asked her how she knew.
    She said, "Well, that was the easy part. I went to Wal-Mart and bought the twin-pack home pregnancy test kit and both tests came out positive!"


    Advice for the day: If you have a headache, do what it says on the aspirin bottle: Take two, and KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.

    At a nursing home in Miami, Florida, a group of senior citizens were sitting around talking about their ailments:
    "My arms are so weak I can hardly lift this cup of coffee," said one.
    "Yes, I know. My cataracts are so bad I can't even see my coffee," replied another.
    "I can't turn my head because of the arthritis in my neck," said a third, to which several nodded weakly in agreement.
    "My blood pressure pills make me dizzy," another went on.
    "I guess that's the price we pay for getting old," winced an old man as he slowly shook his head.
    Then there was a short moment of silence.
    "Well, it's not that bad," said one woman cheerfully. "Thank God we can all still drive."

    Assigning a Gender to Everyday Objects

    SWISS ARMY KNIFE: Male, because even though it appears
    useful for a wide variety of work, it spends most of its
    time just opening bottles.

    KIDNEYS: Female, because they always go to the bathroom
    in pairs.

    HOT AIR BALLOON: Male, because to get it to go anywhere
    you have to light a fire under it...and, of course, there's
    the hot air part.

    SPONGES: Female, because they are soft and squeezable and
    retain water.

    SHOE: Male, because it is usually unpolished, with its
    tongue hanging out.

    COPIER: Female, because once turned off, it takes a while
    to warm up. Because it is an effective reproductive
    device when the right buttons are pushed. Because it can
    wreak havoc when the wrong buttons are pushed.

    ZIPLOC BAGS: Male, because they hold everything in, but
    you can always see right through them.

    WEB PAGE: Female, because it is always getting hit on.

    SUBWAY: Male, because it uses the same old lines to pick
    people up.

    HAMMER: Male, because it hasn't evolved much over the
    last 5,000 years, but it's handy to have around.

    REMOTE CONTROL: Female...Ha!...you thought I'd say male.
    But consider, it gives a man pleasure, he'd be lost
    without it, and while he doesn't always know the right
    buttons to push, he keeps trying.




    ---Engineer's recipe for chocolate-chip cookies:

    1.) 532.35 cm3 gluten
    2.) 4.9 cm3 NaHCO3
    3.) 4.9 cm3 refined halite
    4.) 236.6 cm3 partially hydrogenated tallow triglyceride
    5.) 177.45 cm3 crystalline C12H22O11
    6.) 177.45 cm3 unrefined C12H22O11
    7.) 4.9 cm3 methyl ether of protocatechuic aldehyde
    8.) Two calcium carbonate-encapsulated avian albumen-coated
    protein
    9.) 473.2 cm3 theobroma cacao
    10.) 236.6 cm3 de-encapsulated legume meats (sieve size #10)

    Directions:

    To a 2-L jacketed round reactor vessel (reactor #1) with an
    overall heat transfer coefficient of about 100 Btu/F-ft2-hr,
    add ingredients one, two and three with constant agitation. In
    a second 2-L reactor vessel with a radial flow impeller
    operating at 100 rpm, add ingredients four, five, six, and
    seven until the mixture is homogenous. To reactor #2, add
    ingredient eight, followed by three equal volumes of the
    homogenous mixture in reactor #1. Additionally, add ingredient
    nine and ten slowly, with constant agitation. Care must be
    taken at this point in the reaction to control any temperature
    rise that may be the result of an exothermic reaction.

    Using a screw extruder attached to a #4 nodulizer, place the
    mixture piece-meal on a 316SS sheet (300 x 600 mm). Heat in a
    460K oven for a period of time that is in agreement with Frank
    & Johnston's first order rate expression (see JACOS, 21, 55),
    or until golden brown. Once the reaction is complete, place
    the sheet on a 25C heat-transfer table, allowing the product
    to come to thermal equilibrium.
