Anything goes, so if you're easily offended, GET OUT OF THE THREAD NOW!!!
During the cold war in the mid 50s, a mathematician and an RF engineer were recruited to man a radar surveillance station in Alaska. They were told that in addition to their pay they would get a rather special bonus. So after a month of strenuous duty in the Alaskan winter, they are led into the base gym where in the far corner stands Miss America 1956. Both the engineer and the mathematician immediately want to race across to her, but are held back by their commanding officer: "You guys are allowed to go to her, but each step you take must be exactly half as long as the previous one". The mathematician does a quick calculation in his head and announces: "I give up, I'll never be able to reach her!". The engineer, however, continues walking towards her, saying: "I might not exactly reach her, but I'll get close enough to do the job."

How to Make Life Easier
1. If you are choking on an ice cube, don't panic.Simply pour a cup
of boiling water down your throat and presto! The blockage will be
almost instantly removed.
2. Clumsy? Avoid cutting yourself while slicing vegetables by getting
someone else to hold them while you chop away.
3. Avoid arguments with the Mrs. about lifting the toilet seat by
simply using the sink.
4. For high blood pressure sufferers: simply cut yourself and bleed
for a few minutes, thus reducing the pressure in your veins. Remember
to use a timer.
5. A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock,will prevent you
from rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze
button.
6. If you have a bad cough, take a large dose of laxatives, then you
will be afraid to cough.
7. Have a bad toothache? Smash your thumb with a hammer and you will
forget all about the toothache.
8. Sometimes, we just need to remember what the rules of life really
are:
You only need two tools - WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move
and should, use the WD-40. If it shouldn't move and does, use the
duct tape.
9. Remember: Everyone seems normal until you get to know them.
10. Never pass up an opportunity to go to the bathroom.

One day three explorers are captured by a tribe of cannibals. The tribesmen want to kill them and eat them but one of the explorer's says "Hang on, we should be able to do some sort of challenge and if we pass you can let us go". The tribesmen agree and say the challenge will consist of 2 parts. They say the 1st part is that they have to collect a species of fruit, then come back for the second challenge. The explorers agree and seperate to search for fruit. The first explorer comes back with apples. "okay" say the tribesmen "now the second part is that you have to shove the fruit up your without making a sound, no crying, gasping, no sound". The first explorer tries but starts crying due to the pain and is killed. The second explorer comes back with grapes and the tribesmen tell him the second part of the challenge. He nearly completes the challenge but he suddenly starts to laugh so the tribesmen kill him. On his way to heaven the second explorer meets up with the first explorer. The first explorer asks him " You nearly completed the challenge, but you laughed, why?" The second explorer responds "Oh I saw the third explorer coming back with pineapples".

God: I feel like a vacation
Angel: Why not Jupiter?
God: Nah, too much gravity, bad for my back you know
Angel: Oh right... how about Mercury then? Rates are cheap
God: Nah, I don't like it being too close to the sun, it'll burn me, and you know how much I hate sunburn
Angel: Oh, ok... well how about Earth then?
God: You kidding!? I had an affair with a Jewish woman there 2000 years ago and they still haven't shut up about it!
