INTERESTING HISTORY LESSON
Railroad tracks. This is
fascinating.
The US standard railroad gauge (distance between the
rails) is 4 feet, 8.5 inches. That's an exceedingly odd number. So the next time you are handed a
specification/procedure/process and wonder 'What horse's ass came up with
it?', you may be exactly right. Imperial Roman army chariots were made just
wide enough to accommodate the rear ends of two war horses. (Two horse's
asses.) Now, the twist to the story:
Childbirth at 65 The 11th Husband.... This time I Know I'm
going to get screwed !!' Hung Chow calls into work and says, "Hey, I no come work today, I sick,
headache, stomach ache, legs hurt, I no come work."
The boss says, "You know something, Hung Chow, I really need you today.
When I feel like this, I go to my wife and tell her to give me sex.
That makes everything better and I go to work. You try that."
Two hours later, Hung Chow calls again. "I do what you say, I feel
great. I be work soon.....you got nice house”
Subject: The pie-eyed piper of Brighton
A tourist walked into a Brighton curio/antique shop.
After looking around for a while, he noticed a very
life-like bronze statue of a rat. It had no price tag,
but it was so striking that he decided to buy it
anyway. He took it to the owner and said, 'How much is
this bronze rat.'
The owner replied, 'It's £12 for the rat and £100 for
the story.'
The tourist gave the owner his £12 and said, 'I'll
just take the rat. You can keep the story.'
As he walked off down the street he noticed a few real
rats had crawled out of the sewers and begun following
him. This was a little disconcerting, so he started to
walk a little faster, but within a couple of blocks
the swarm of rats had grown to hundreds and they were
all squealing and screeching in a very menacing way.
He increased his speed and ran on towards the beach,
and as he ran, he looked behind him and saw the rats
now numbered in their millions and they were running
faster and faster.
Now very concerned, he ran down the
pier and threw the bronze rat far out into the water.
Amazingly, the millions of real rats jumped into the
water after it and were all drowned.
The man walked back to relate this all to the shop
owner, who said, 'Ah, you've come back for the story
then?'
'No,' replied the tourist. 'I came back to see if
you've got a bronze Muslim fundamentalist cleric or anything French.'
And you
thought you had seen it all ????? |

THIS IS FUN?









































The following was copied from a My Space Blog. I did not write it and do not agree with all the thoughts expressed. It is however, interesting.
Here's a look at 10 things women say that drive men nuts.
1) "That looks cute."
For the most part, men hate cute. We don't want to
hear about it, we don't want to see it, and we sure as
hell don't want to be it. If we come down stairs after
getting dressed and you tell us we look cute, there's
a 100 percent chance we're changing. We're supposed to
be your protector, your rock, and cute does not fit
into that picture.
2) "We need to talk."
These four words shut off a man's brain faster than
long division. When men hear you say that they
immediately go into flight mode. And anything they can
do to get out of this conversation—and better yet,
your apartment—they will. There are plenty of other
ways to approach a delicate conversation, and getting
us in a place where we feel comfortable is a good
start.
3) "It's just a game."
Actually, it's not just a game. Sports are a major
part of our lives and the outcome has as much to do
with our mood as just about anything else. Is it fair?
No. Is it right? No. Is it immature? Maybe. But it's
life. Sometimes we just care too much. We understand
that it doesn't make sense, but you should be happy
that we're that passionate about something. Telling us
that "it's just a game" is like us telling you that
Oprah's just a talk show host.
4) "Nothing's wrong."
Please don't tell us nothing's wrong. The look on your
face could make the toughest guy on the planet weep
like a third-grade girl and your arms are crossed so
tight you might explode. We're not mind readers; tell
us what's going on. And don't make us guess
because—believe me—you won't like what we come up
with.
5) "I sound like my mom."
The mere fact that you might turn into your mom
someday scares the hell out of us. Don't say it, even
in jest—it's not funny. We actually believe (and pray)
that the saying "every woman ends up looking like
their mother" is an old wives' tale. If we didn't, no
one would ever get married.
6) "I just want to be friends."
No you don't. You just want us to stop calling you.
This is a lot like pulling off a band-aid. Do it
quick—don't prolong the agony. Most of us take "I just
want to be friends" as "There's still a chance," so if
there isn't just make it a clean break and move on.
Everyone will be much better because of it.
7) "Size doesn't matter."
Don't lie to us. We know it does, and we're doing our
best to make up for it in other ways. It's best just
to not say anything at all.
8) "What are you wearing?"
We're wearing whatever's clean or whatever you tell us
to. We don't plan out our wardrobe days in advance,
but we do actually try and look presentable. It may
not work a lot of the time, but we do give it a shot.
Giving us direction is completely encouraged though,
so go ahead and suggest … nicely.
9) "Do you think she's pretty?"
Of course we do, our standards are much lower than
yours. But just because we check her out doesn't mean
we think any less of you. We try to be as discreet as
possible, but for the most part, we can't help it.
It's in our DNA. When an attractive woman walks by,
it's best to just pretend nothing happened.
10) "Which outfit do you like better?"
I'm going to be honest here—90 percent of the guys out
there are not going to tell you which outfit they like
better: They're going to try to pick the one you like
better and not get into a holy war when the babysitter
is due any minute. To us, you always look good.
Getting a couple cocktails and spending as much time
as we can without the kids is our ultimate goal for a
rare night out.
