Logic

A Mathematician, a Biologist and a Physicist are sitting in a street cafe watching people going in and coming out of the house on the other side of the street.

First they see two people going into the house. Time passes. After a while they notice three persons coming out of the house.

The Physicist says: "The measurement wasn't accurate."

The Biologist concludes: "They have reproduced."

The Mathematician says: "Now if another person enters the house, it'll
be empty again!"

Things I Wish I'd Known...

...before I went out in the real world.
  1. Any and all compliments can be handled by simply saying "Why, thank you" though it helps if you say it with a Southern accent).
  2. Some people are working backstage, some are playing in the orchestra, some are on stage singing, some are in the audience as critics and some are there to applaud. Know who and where you are.
  3. Never give yourself a haircut after three margaritas.
  4. When baking, follow directions. When cooking, go by your own taste.
  5. Never continue dating anyone who is rude to the waiters and doesn't like dogs and cats.
  6. You need only two tools. WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the tape.
  7. The five most essential words for a healthy, vital relationship "I apologize" and "You are right."
  8. Everyone seems normal until you get to know them.
  9. When you make a mistake, make amends immediately. It's easier to eat crow while it's still warm.
  10. The only really good advice that I remember my mother ever gave me was, "Go! You might meet somebody!"
  11. If he/she says that you are too good for him/her, believe them.
  12. I've learned to pick my battles; I ask myself, "Will this matter one year from now? How about one month? One week? One day?"
  13. Never pass up an opportunity to pee.
  14. If you woke up breathing, congratulations! You have another chance!
  15. Living well really is the best revenge. Being miserable because of a bad or former relationship just might mean that the other person was right about you.
  16. Knowing how to listen to music is as great a talent as knowing how to make it.
  17. Work is good but it's not that important.
  18. Never underestimate the kindness of your fellow man.
  19. And finally... Be really nice to your friends. You never know when you are going to need them to empty your bedpan.

Redneck Love Poem

Collards are green,
my dog's name is Blue
and I'm so lucky
to have a sweet thang like you.

Yore hair is like cornsilk
a-flappin in the breeze.
Softer than Blue's
and without all them fleas.

You move like the bass,
which excite me in may.
You ain't got no scales
but I luv you anyway.
Yo're as satisfy'n as okry
jist a-fry'n in the pan.
Yo're as fragrant as "snuff"
right out of the can.

You have some'a yore teeth
for which I am proud.
I hold my head high
when we're in a crowd.

On special occasions,
when you shave under yore arms,
well, I'm in hawg heaven
and awed by yore charms.

Still them fellers at work,
they all want to know,
what I did to deserve
such a purdy, young doe.

Like a good roll of duct tape
yo're there fer yore man,
to patch up life's troubles
and fix what you can.

Yo're as cute as a junebug
a-buzzin' overhead.
You ain't mean like those far ants
I found in my bed.

Cut from the best cloth
like a plaid flannel shirt,
you spark up my life
more than a fresh load of dirt.

When you hold me real tight
like a padded gunrack,
my life is complete.
Ain't nuttin' I lack.

Yore complexion, it's perfection,
like the best vinyl sidin'
despite all the years,
yore age, it keeps hidin'.

Me "n" you's like a moon pie
with a RC cold drank,
we go together
like a skunk goes with stank.

Some men, they buy chocolate
for a Valentine's Day,
they git it at Wal-Mart,
it's romantic that way.

Some men git roses
on that special day
for the cooler at Krogers,
that's impressive, I say.

Some men buy fine diamonds
from a flea market booth.
"Diamonds are forever,"
they explain, suave and couth.

But for this man, honey,
these won't do.
Cause yo're too special,
you sweet thang you.

I got you a gift,
without taste nor odor,
more useful than diamonds...
It's a new troll'n motor!


Doctors On Strike

Doctors at a hospital in Brooklyn, New York have gone on strike. Hospital officials say they will find out what the doctors demands are as soon as they can get a pharmacist over there to read the picket signs.

Chopsticks

over his face, his cloths, and the table, but none in his mouth.

"What should I do?" he asks Ben.

"Use the forks, Luke!"

Keeping The Log

The first mate on a ship decided to celebrate an occasion with a "little" stowed away rum. Unfortunately he got drunk and was still drunk the next morning. The captain saw him drunk and when the first mate was sober, showed him the following entry in the ship's log: "The first mate was drunk today."

"Captain please don't let that stay in the log", the mate said. "This could add months or years to my becoming a captain myself."

"Is it true?" asked the captain, already knowing the answer.

"Yes, its true" the mate said.

"Then if it is true it has to go in the log. That's the rule. If its true it goes into the log, end of discussion" said the captain sternly.

Weeks later, it was the first mate's turn to make the log entries. The first mate wrote: "The ship seems in good shape. The captain was sober today."

Converting Pi To Binary

Warning: Do not calculate Pi in binary. It is conjectured that this number is normal, meaning that it contains all finite bit strings.

If you compute it, you will be guilty of:
  • Copyright infringement (of all books, all short stories, all newspapers, all magazines, all web sites, all music, all movies, and all software, including the complete Windows source code)
  • Trademark infringement
  • Possession of child pornography
  • Espionage (unauthorized possession of top secret information)
  • Possession of DVD-cracking software
  • Possession of threats to the President
  • Possession of everyone's SSN, everyone's credit card numbers, everyone's PIN numbers, everyone's unlisted phone numbers, and everyone's passwords
  • Defaming Islam. Not technically illegal, but you'll have to go into hiding along with Salman Rushdie.
  • Defaming Scientology. Which is illegal - just ask Keith Henson.
Also, your computer will contain all of the nastiest known computer viruses. In fact, all of the nastiest possible computer viruses.

Some of the files on my PC are intensely personal, and I for one don't want you snooping through a copy of them.

You might get away with computing just a few digits, but why risk it? There's no telling how far into Pi you can go without finding the secret documents about the JFK assassination, a photograph of your neighbor wearing his frilly underwear, or complete copies of the not-yet-released Star Wars prequels. So just don't do it.

The same warning applies to e, the square root of 2, Euler's constant, Phi, the cosine of any non-zero algebraic number, and the vast majority of all other real numbers.

There's a reason why these numbers are always computed and shown in decimal, after all.
