Florida Newspaper

The following was taken from a Florida newspaper:

A man was working on his motorcycle on his patio and his wife was in the house in the kitchen. The man was racing the engine on the motorcycle and somehow, the motorcycle slipped into gear. The man, still holding the handlebars, was dragged through a glass patio door and the motorcycle dumped onto the floor inside the house.

The wife, hearing the crash, ran into the dining room, and found her husband laying on the floor, cut and bleeding, the motorcycle laying next to him and the patio door shattered. The wife ran to the phone and summoned an ambulance. Because they lived on a fairly large hill, the wife went down the several flights of long steps to the street to direct the paramedics to her husband. After the ambulance arrived and transported the husband to the hospital, the wife uprighted the motorcycle and pushed it outside.

Seeing that gas had spilled on the floor, the wife obtained some papers towels, blotted up the gasoline, and threw the towels in the toilet. The husband was treated at the hospital and was released to aome home. After arriving home, he looked at the shattered patio door and the damage done to his motorcycle. He became despondent, went into the bathroom, sat on the toilet and smoked a cigarette.

After finishing the cigarette, he flipped it between his legs into the toilet bowl while still seated. The wife, who was in the kitchen, heard a loud explosion and her husband screaming. She ran into the bathroom and found her husband laying on the floor. His trousers had been blown away and he was suffering burns on the buttocks, the back of his legs and his groin. The wife again ran to the phone and called for an ambulance. The same ambulance crew was dispatched and the wife met them at the street.

The paramedics loaded the husband on the stretcher and began carrying him to the street. While they were going down the stairs to the street accompanied by the wife, one of the paramedics asked the wife how the husband had burned himself. She told them and the paramedics started laughing so hard, one of them tipped the stretcher and dumped the husband out. He fell down the remaining steps and broke his ankle.

A physicist, a mathematician, and an engineer…

A physicist, a mathematician, and an engineer are taking a rail
trip through Scotland. Gazing out the window, they see a black sheep.

The engineer says, “How interesting! Scottish sheep are black!”

“No, no,” says the physicist, “we only know that some Scottish
sheep are black.”

The mathematician heaves a deep sigh, and says, “We know that
there exists at least one sheep in Scotland, at least one side of which
is black.”

When John Sculley ran Apple Computer he said…

When John Sculley ran Apple Computer he said Apple had
bought a [Cray] supercomputer for about
$14.5 million and was using it to develop
its next-generation Apple.

Cray’s chief executive John Rollwagen
said he hadn’t wanted Apple to think this
was a one-way street. So, he said, “since
they were good enough to buy one of our
machines, some of us have bought a few
of theirs.”

Rollwagen also said he told Seymour Cray
… about how Apple was using the machine.
“There was a pause on the other end of the
line,” [he] recalls, “and Seymour said, ‘That’s
interesting, because I’m designing the next
Cray with an Apple.’ “

Dumb dumb dumb news bits

AT&T fired President John Walter after nine months, saying he lacked intellectual leadership”. He received a $26 million severance package. Perhaps it’s not Walter who’s lacking intelligence.

1 wish ?

Two guys, of limited intelligence, were on a ship that sank in the middle of the ocean. They managed to inflate a rubber life raft and grab a box of provisions before their ship slipped under the surface.

After floating under blazing heat, for 6 days, they ran out of food and water. On the 10th day, bleary eyed and half dead from heat, thirst and starvation, they spotted a small object floating toward them in the water. As it drew near, they were ecstatic to find that it was an old oil lamp (the kind that genies come in).

They grabbed the lamp and rubbed it. Out popped a tired old genie who said, “OK, so you freed me from the stupid lamp, but hey, I’ve been doing this 3-wishes stuff for a while now and quite frankly, I’m burned out. You guys only get 1 wish and then I’m outta here. Make it a good one.”

The first guy, blurted out, without thinking, “Give us all the beer we can drink for the rest of our lives!” “Fine,” said the genie, and he instantly turned the entire ocean to beer.

“Great move, Einstein”, said the second guy, slapping the first guy in the side of the head. “Now we’re gonna have to piss in the boat.”
