Sounds dirty

Top Ten Things That Sound Dirty In Law But Aren’t:

10. Have you looked through her briefs?

9. He is one hard judge!

8. Counselor, let’s do it in chambers.

7. His attorney withdrew at the last minute.

6. Is it a penal offense?

5. Better leave the handcuffs on.

4. For $200 an hour, she better be good!

3. Can you get him to drop his suit?

2. The judge gave her the stiffest one he could. And the number 1 thing that sounds dirty in law but isn’t:

1. Think you can get me off?

$100,000

A very wealthy man, old and desperately ill, summons to his bedside his three closest advisors: his doctor, his priest, and his lawyer.

I know, he says, they say ‘you can’t take it with you.’ But who knows? Suppose they’re mistaken. I’d like to have something with me, just in case. So I am giving each of you an envelope containing one hundred thousand dollars and I would be grateful if at my funeral you would put the envelopes in my coffin, so that if it turns out that it’s useful, I’ll have something.

They each agree to carry out his wish.

Sure enough, after just a few weeks, the old man passes away. At his funeral, each of the three advisors is seen slipping something into the coffin.

After the burial, as the three are walking away together, the doctor turns to the other two and says, -Friends, I have a confession to make. As you know, at the hospital we are desperate because of the cutbacks in funding. Our CAT SCAN machine broke down and we haven’t be able to get a new one. So, I took $20,000 of our friend’s money for a new CAT SCAN and put the rest in the coffin as he asked.

At this the priest says, I, too have a confession to make. As you know, our church is simply overwhelmed by the problem of the homeless. The needs keep increasing and we have nowhere to turn. So I took $50,000 from the envelope for our homeless fund and put the rest in the coffin as out friend requested.

Fixing the other two in his gaze, the lawyer says, I am astonished and deeply disappointed that you would treat so casually our solemn undertaking to our friend. I want you to know that I placed in his coffin my personal check for the full one hundred thousand dollars.

Si alguna vez se encuentra

Si alguna vez se encuentra en la necesidad de manejar por las calles del Ecuador, el contenido de este manual lo ayudar� a llegar a su destino en una sola pieza… al menos eso esperamos.

Al encender su veh�culo:

Implore al Poder Supremo y encomi�ndese al cuidado divino para su protecci�n contra los peligros que encontrar� en las calles ecuatorianas.

Tenga mucho cuidado con los conductores ‘marcha atr�s’. Esta clase de conductores es famosa por salir marcha atr�s sin importarle mucho lo que pueda haber en el camino. Si se topa con uno de estos conductores, entonces usted se encuentra en condiciones de poner en pr�ctica ‘el saludo ecuatoriano de conductores’ (ver pr�ximo p�rrafo).

El saludo ecuatoriano de conductores:

Para saludar a un conductor ecuatoriano, baje lentamente su ventana y, con tono grave y fuerte, pronuncie: la puta que te pari�. Pueden incluirse, al final de la expresi�n, sustantivos calificativos como: gordo de mierda, cabr�n hijo de puta, reflechucha tu madre, pelado cabeza de rodilla, vieja infeliz, etc. (escoger el m�s adecuado para la ocasi�n). De todas maneras, est� siempre preparado para responder con un ‘�ndate a la concha de tu madre’, en caso de que el otro conductor lo haya saludado primero.

Luces de giro:

Si un conductor en otro carril enciende su luz de giro, no lo deje ingresar a su carril. De hecho, presione el acelerador y mant�ngase pr�ximo a �l. Es probable que el conductor intente saludarlo, pero usted ya sabe exactamente qu� hacer (ver p�rrafo anterior).

Sem�foros:

Estos interesantes artefactos suelen encontrarse en las intersecciones de las calles sin tener ninguna raz�n aparente, pero si est�n ah�, por algo ser�. Es muy probable encontrar conductores detenidos observando como cambian las luces de colores (una experiencia fascinante). Los oficiales de tr�nsito creen que cada color tiene un significado que el conductor debe respetar. De la observaci�n efectuada se ha determinado el significado de cada color:

Luz amarilla: acelere su veh�culo tanto como sea posible.
Luz roja: esta luz permite pasar a 5 o 6 veh�culos m�s despu�s de su encendido.
Luz verde: reduzca la velocidad y espere a que los 5 o 6 veh�culos atraviesen su luz roja.

Nota: es vital tocar la bocina a los 1.5 segundos del encendido de la luz verde.

Cambio de carril:

Antes que nada, no importa lo que vaya a hacer: nunca encienda su luz de giro, de lo contrario, estimular� la reacci�n del otro conductor (vea ‘Luces de giro’). Observe al conductor que viene por el carril al que desea pasarse y, ante su menor descuido, introd�zcase descontroladamente con su veh�culo; se sorprender� al darse cuenta que no es necesario m�s que un par de cent�metros entre veh�culo y veh�culo. En ese momento ser� saludado por no menos de tres conductores. Para perfeccionar su cambio de carril existen diversas t�cnicas, por ejemplo: intente desacelerar su veh�culo dr�sticamente y en cuesti�n de segundos; no deje de observar el fen�meno de reacci�n en cadena producido por el conductor de atr�s. En medio del caos, cambie de carril y acelere.

Embotellamientos:

Durante los embotellamientos de tr�fico se realizan varias actividades divertid�simas, tales como:

– Toque su bocina r�tmicamente.
– Retoque su maquillaje (generalmente, repito, s�lo generalmente, esto se da en conductoras).
– Pierda peso, sudando como un cerdo, debido a la falta de aire acondicionado.
– Salude a otros conductores. No necesariamente a los que provocan el embotellamiento.
– Perfeccione su cambio de carril.
– Juegue a ver que tan cerca puede detenerse del parachoques del veh�culo de adelante.

Peatones:

Estos individuos son una molestia para los conductores ecuatorianos. En caso de encontrar a alguno de estos singulares personajes, acelere y mu�strele qui�n es el jefe. En las intersecciones ceda el paso al peat�n y, en cuanto lo tenga en la mira, t�rele su veh�culo encima. Si no llega a tocarlo, puesto que suelen ser bastante h�biles, no se preocupe, seguramente lo habr� asustado lo suficiente.

Cambio de carril ‘triple’ (pre-requisito: dominar ‘Cambio de carril’):

Este movimiento requiere de much�sima precisi�n y creatividad. Debe ser ejecutado rodeado del mayor n�mero de autos posible y en cuesti�n de segundos, para crear lo que algunos catalogan como ‘p�nico general’.

Peajes de autopista:

Todos sabemos lo que es estar apurado y no tener cambio para ingresar a los carriles de ‘Pago Exacto’. Con ese fin, se han desarrollado t�cnicas para su comodidad. Introd�zcase en el carril de ‘Pago Exacto’, aunque tenga un billete de S/.50.000. Cuando llegue a la cabina de pago, exclame con cara de asombro: ‘�Chuta, me confund� de carril!’ Si el cobrador se niega a aceptar su billete, entonces se�ale la imponente cola de veh�culos que se ha formado detr�s y diga: ‘�puede decirles que muevan sus veh�culos, para sacar el m�o’?. Ignore los millones de saludos que recibir�, y sonr�a (usted va a ganar). Esta t�cnica es tambi�n aplicable cuando quiera cambiar d�lares, pero no espere obtener el mejor tipo de cambio.

�Ahora s�! Usted se encuentra totalmente capacitado para conducir en las calles del Ecuador, adelante y… �Feliz viaje!

The Concept of a Billion

A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, but one advertising agency did
a good job of putting that figure into perspective in one of its releases:
A billion seconds ago, it was 1959.
A billion minutes ago, Jesus was alive.
A billion hours ago, our ancestors were living in the Stone Age.
A billion dollars ago, it was only 8 hours and 20 minutes ago at the rate
Washington spends it.

Eve was first?

One day in the Garden of Eden, Eve calls out to God, “Lord, I have a
problem!”

“What’s the problem, Eve?” God asks her.

“Lord,” she says, “I know you’ve created me and have provided this beautiful
garden and all of these wonderful animals, and that hilarious comedic snake, but
I’m just not happy.”

“Why is that, Eve?” came the reply from above.

“Lord, I am lonely. And I’m sick to death of apples,” she says.

“Well, Eve, in that case, I have a solution. I shall create a man for you,”
the good Lord tells her.

“What’s a ‘man’, Lord?” she inquires.

“This man will be a flawed creature, with aggressive tendencies, an enormous
ego and an inability to empathize or listen to you properly. All in all, he’ll
give you a hard time.

But, he’ll be bigger and faster and more muscular than you. He’ll be really
good at fighting and kicking a ball about and hunting fleet-footed ruminants,
and not altogether bad in the love department.”

“Sounds great,” says Eve, with an ironically raised eyebrow.

“Yeah, well. He’s better than a poke in the eye with a burnt stick. But, you
can have him on one condition.”

“What’s that, Lord?” she asks.

“You’ll have to let him believe that I made him first!”
