Give me time: the litttle Indian's thinking. Walt's been wondering why he smells smoke and neither of us have a cigarette lit. He's wondering who I'm sending smoke signals to.

He told me this is the INTERNET, not the INTERBLANKET[:0][:p]

Sorry, Oliver, locomutt got me sidetracked, and I lost my train of thought.

Maybe find a HUGE potato fryer, and put the boss in it?

Hey Mook, can YOU think of anything?

I have heard of turning into a gas station and a grocery store, but never into a potato.

And you have that backwards - you want to turn a potato into a boss, which shouldn't be too hard considering some bosses aren't as smart as some potatoes!

It seems there was an indian that stood on a street corner and every time a pretty lady
would go by, he'd say"Umm. Chance."

This went on for quite a while. Finally, a lady walked by and he said "Umm. Chance."
She turned and asked him, "How come you don't say 'how'?"

He looked back and said, "Me knowum how, me wantum chance."

When she went to the train station and saw a sign that said "Train Station Left," she turned around and went home.

He forgot a few...
like
Ouch,
often used along with
Yonder,
as in
"He's ouch younder, by tree". (he is out there by the tree)

And "rat"
As in,
"I'll be rat back" or "I'll be back rat sun" (I will be right back, or I will be back right soon)

And we use "earl" as a way to describe the black gold that comes out of the ground around these parts...

Well in all my Years, I never heard of that one before

The one Kevin says, although i'm not sure how it goes

Why did the chicken cross the road, and the answer involves a few metals from the periodic table and The derivative of Kai Square...

puts you to sleep after hearing it...

Here's a math Question for you all, one of Kev's favorite

If everyhting times Zero is Zero, and everyhting times infiniti is infiniti...

what's Zero times infiniti?

Time for Monday Madness . . . . [:D] [8D] [:o)]


I think we have seen this one. It came to me tonight in a slightly remodeled form. But hey, we can still laugh (or cry) over it. [}:)] [;)]



NEW ELEMENT - GOVERMENTIUM


A major research institution (MRI) has recently
announced the discovery of the heaviest chemical
element yet known to science. The new element has
been tentatively named Governmentium.

Governmentium has 1 neutron, 12 assistant neutrons,
75 deputy neutrons, and 224 assistant deputy neutrons,
giving it an atomic mass of 312.

These 312 particles are held together by forces
called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities
of lepton-like particles called peons.
Since governmentium has no electrons, it is inert.
However, it can be detected as it impedes every
reaction with which it comes into contact. A minute
amount of governmentium causes one reaction to take
over four days to complete when it would normally take
less than a second.

Governmentium has a normal half-life of three years;
it does not decay, but instead undergoes a
reorganization in which a portion of the assistant
neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places. In fact,
governmentium's mass will actually increase over time,
since each reorganization will cause some morons to
become neutrons, forming isodopes.

This characteristic of moron-promotion leads some
scientists to speculate that governmentium is formed
whenever morons reach a certain quantity in
concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred
to as Critical Morass.

But how do you know the fryer should be HUGE? Who told you my boss was.... how do you say, elegantly rounded? [:I]

WHY GOD CREATED CHILDREN (AND IN THE PROCESS GRANDCHILDREN)
I have no children, but I like this:

To those of us who have children in our lives, whether they are our own, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, or students...here is something to make you chuckle.

Whenever your children are out of control, you can take comfort from the thought that even God's omnipotence did not extend to His own children. After creating Heaven and Earth, God created Adam and Eve.
And the first thing he said was "Don't!" "Don't what?" Adam replied. "Don't eat the forbidden fruit," God said. "Forbidden fruit? We have forbidden fruit? Hey, Eve, we have forbidden fruit!!!!!"
"No way!"
"Yes way!"
"Do NOT eat the fruit!" said God.
"Why?"
"Because I am your Father and I said so!" God replied, wondering why He hadn't stopped creation after making the elephants. A few minutes later, God saw His children having an apple break and He was ticked!
"Didn't I tell you not to eat the fruit?" God asked.
"Uh huh," Adam replied.
"Then why did you?" said the Father.
"I don't know," said Eve.
"She started it!" Adam said
"Did not!"
"Did too!"
"DID NOT!"
Having had it with the two of them, God's punishment was that Adam and Eve should have children of their own. Thus, the pattern was set and it has never changed.

BUT THERE IS REASSURANCE IN THE STORY!
If you have persistently and lovingly tried to give children wisdom and they haven't taken it, don't be hard on yourself. If God had trouble raising children, what makes you think it would be a piece of cake for you?

THINGS TO THINK ABOUT!

1. You spend the first two years of their lives teaching them to walk and talk. Then you spend the next sixteen telling them to sit down and shut up.
2. Grandchildren are God's reward for not killing your own children.
3. Mothers of teens now know why some animals eat their young.
4. Children seldom misquote you. In fact, they usually repeat word for word what you shouldn't have said.
5. The main purpose of holding children's parties is to remind yourself that there are children more awful than your own.
6. We childproofed our homes, but they are still getting in.

ADVICE FOR THE DAY: Be nice to your kids. They will choose your nursing home one day (or better yet, take care of you if they want any kind of inheritance).

AND FINALLY: If you have a lot of tension and get a headache, do what it says on the aspirin bottle: "Take two aspirin" and "Keep away from children."

Quick, send this on to 10 people within the next five minutes.
Nothing will happen if you don't, but if you do, 10 people will be laughing.

Have fun,
Oliver
