I'm ready for more jokes.

Two boys were walking by a home in Pittsburgh when a large dog rushes
out of a yard and starts to attack one of the boys. His friend quickly grabs a
piece of wood and beats off the dog until the dog lay still on the ground. A
sports reporter who was strolling by sees the incident, and rushes over to
interview the boy. "Young Steelers' Fan Saves Friend from Vicious Animal," he
starts writing in his notebook. "But I'm not a Steelers fan," the little hero replied.
"Sorry, since we are in Pittsburgh I just assumed you were." said the
reporter and starts again. "Little Pittsburgh Pirate FanÔÇØ Rescues Friend From
horrific Attack" he continued writing in his notebook. "I'm not a Pirate fan
either," the boy said. The reporter said "I assumed everyone in Pittsburgh
was either for the Steelers or the Pirates. What team do you root for?" he asked.
ÔÇ£I am from Baltimore and am here visiting my friend, I'm a Baltimore Ravens Fan."
the child said. The reporter starts a new sheet in his notebook and writes;
"Baltimore Gang Member Kills Beloved Family Pet."
 
Finally a REAL Christmas story....

A couple was Christmas shopping at the mall on Christmas Eve and the mall was packed.

Walking through the mall the surprised wife look up and noticed her husband was no where around and she was very upset because they had a lot to do.

She used her cell phone to call her husband because she was so upset, to ask him where he was.The husband in a calm voice said, "Honey remember the jewelry store we went into 5 years ago where you fell in love with that diamond necklace that we could not afford and I told you that I would get it for you one day?"

His wife said crying, "Yes, I remember that jewelry store."

He said, "Well I'm in the bar right next to it."

Inexperienced chili taster

Notes From an Inexperienced Chili Taster Named TOM, who was visiting Texas from the East Coast:
Recently I was honored to be selected as a judge at a chili cook-off.
The original person called in sick at the last moment, and I happened to be
standing there at the judge's table asking directions to the beer wagon when
the call came. I was assured by the other two judges (Native Texans) that
the chili wouldn't be all that spicy, and besides, they told me I could have
free beer during the tasting, so I accepted. Here are the scorecards from
the event:

Chili # 1: Mike's Maniac Mobster Monster Chili
JUDGE ONE: A little too heavy on tomato. Amusing kick.
JUDGE TWO: Nice, smooth tomato flavor. Very mild.
TOM: Holy cow, what the hell is this stuff? You could remove dried paint
from your driveway. Took me two beers to put the flames out. I hope that's
the worst one. These Texans are crazy.

Chili # 2: Arthur's Afterburner Chili
JUDGE ONE: Smoky, with a hint of pork. Slight Jalapeno tang.
JUDGE TWO: Exciting BBQ flavor, needs more peppers to be taken seriously.
TOM: Keep this out of reach of children! I'm not sure what I am supposed
to taste besides pain. I had to wave off two people who wanted to give me
the Heimlich maneuver. They had to rush in more beer when they saw the look
on my face.

Chili # 3: Fred's Famous Burn Down the Barn Chili
JUDGE ONE: Excellent firehouse chili! Great kick. Needs more beans.
JUDGE TWO: A beanless chili, a bit salty, good use of red peppers.
TOM: Call the EPA, I've located a uranium spill. My nose feels like I
have been snorting Drano. Everyone knows the routine by now, get me more beer
before I ignite. Barmaid pounded me on the back; now my backbone is in
the front part of my chest. I'm getting wasted from all the beer.

Chili # 4: Bubba's Black Magic
JUDGE ONE: Black bean chili with almost no spice. Disappointing.
JUDGE TWO: Hint of lime in the black beans. Good side dish for fish or
other mild foods, not much of a chili.
TOM: I felt something scraping across my tongue, but was unable to taste
it, is it possible to burn-out taste buds? Sally, the barmaid, was
standing behind me with fresh refills; I'm eating nuclear-waste.

Chili # 5: Linda's Legal Lip Remover
JUDGE ONE: Meaty, strong chili. Cayenne peppers freshly ground, adding
considerable kick. Very impressive.
JUDGE TWO: Chili using shredded beef; could use more tomato. Must admit
the cayenne peppers make a strong statement.
TOM: My ears are ringing, sweat is pouring off my forehead and I can
no longer focus my eyes. I farted and four people behind me needed paramedics.
The contestant seemed offended when I told her that her chili had
given me brain damage. Sally saved my tongue from bleeding by pouring beer
directly on it from a pitcher. I wonder if I'm burning my lips off? It really
pisses me off that the other judges asked me to stop screaming. Screw those
rednecks!

Chili # 6: Vera's Very Vegetarian Variety
JUDGE ONE: Thin yet bold vegetarian variety chili. Good balance of spice and peppers.
JUDGE TWO: The best yet. Aggressive use of peppers, onions, and garlic. Superb.
TOM: My intestines are now a straight pipe filled with gaseous, sulfuric
flames. I crapped myself when I farted and I'm worried it will eat through the
chair. No one seems inclined to stand behind me except that slut Sally, she
must be kinkier than I thought. Can't feel my lips anymore. I need to wipe
my butt with a snow cone!

Chili # 7: Susan's Screaming Sensation Chili
JUDGE ONE: A mediocre chili with too much reliance on canned peppers.
JUDGE TWO: Ho Hum, tastes as if the chef literally threw in a can of chili
peppers in. I should note that I am worried about Judge Number 3.
He appears to be in a bit of distress as he is cursing uncontrollably.
TOM: You could put a grenade in my mouth, pull the pin, and I wouldn't
feel a damn thing. I've lost the sight in one eye, and the world sounds like
it is made of rushing water. My shirt is covered with chili, which slid
unnoticed out of my mouth. My pants are full of lava-like crap to match my
damn shirt. At least during the autopsy they'll know what killed me. I've
decided to stop breathing, it's too painful. Screw it, I'm not getting
any oxygen anyway. If I need air, I'll just suck it in through the 4 inch
hole in my stomach.

Chili # 8: Helen's Mount Saint Chili
JUDGE ONE: A perfect ending, this is a nice blend chili, safe for all,
not too bold but spicy enough to declare its existence.
JUDGE TWO: This final entry is a good, balanced chili, neither mild
nor hot. Sorry to see that most of it was lost when Judge Number 3 passed out,
fell over and pulled the chili pot down on top of himself. Not sure if he's
going to make it. Poor Yankee, wonder how he'd have reacted to a really hot chili?
TOM:

A Short Story for Engineers

A toothpaste factory had a problem: they sometimes shipped empty boxes, without the tube inside. This was due to the way the production line was set up, and people with experience in designing production lines will tell you how difficult it is to have everything happen with timing so precise that every single unit coming out of it is perfect 100% of the time. Small variations in the environment (which can’t be controlled in a cost-effective fashion) mean you must have quality assurance checks smartly distributed across the line so that customers all the way down to the supermarket don’t get pissed off and buy another product instead.

Understanding how important that was, the CEO of the toothpaste factory got the top people in the company together and they decided to start a new project, in which they would hire an external engineering company to solve their empty boxes problem, as their engineering department was already too stretched to take on any extra effort.

The project followed the usual process: budget and project sponsor allocated, RFP, third-parties selected, and six months (and $8 million) later they had a fantastic solution — on time, on budget, high quality and everyone in the project had a great time.

They solved the problem by using high-tech precision scales that would sound a bell and flash lights whenever a toothpaste box would weigh less than it should. The line would stop, and someone had to walk over and yank the defective box out of it, pressing another button when done to re-start the line.

A while later, the CEO decides to have a look at the ROI of the project: amazing results! No empty boxes ever shipped out of the factory after the scales were put in place. Very few customer complaints, and they were gaining market share. “That’s some money well spent!” he says, before looking closely at the other statistics in the report.

It turns out, the number of defects picked up by the scales was 0 after three weeks of production use. It should’ve been picking up at least a dozen a day, so maybe there was something wrong with the report. He filed a bug against it, and after some investigation, the engineers come back saying the report was actually correct. The scales really weren't picking up any defects, because all boxes that got to that point in the conveyor belt were good.

Puzzled, the CEO travels down to the factory, and walks up to the part of the line where the precision scales were installed.

A few feet before the scale, there was a $20 desk fan, blowing the empty boxes out of the belt and into a bin.

“Oh, that,” says one of the workers — “one of the guys put it there ’cause he was tired of walking over there every time the bell rang.”

Possible job interview question and also posed in a movie with Bruce Willis:

Say you're riding you motorcycle on a rainy night and you come up to a bus stop with three people at it. One is an old woman who is very ill and needs to get to the hospital. The second is a long time friend of yours, someone who once saved your life. And third, your soul mate, the person you've been looking for all your life. Which one do you give a ride to?

Time goes by as the interviewer watches the interviewee squirm. What to do? Take the sick woman to the hospital and possibly save her life? Take the opportunity to pay back some of that debt to your friend? But if you do either of those, you'll miss the opportunity to be with your soul mate, someone you've dreamt about for a long time. Tough one...

The answer that Bruce gave and that the job interviewee should give:

Give the keys to your friend and let him take the old lady to the hospital. That lets you stay with your soul mate and wait for the bus in the rain.
 
Serious drink drive warning - timely pre- New Year!


I would like to share an experience with you all, about drinking and
driving.

As you well know, some of us have been known to have had brushes with
the authorities on our way home from the odd social session over the
years.

A couple of nights ago, I was out for a few drinks with some friends at
the George Hotel and had a few too many beers and some rather nice red
wine. Knowing full well I may have been slightly over the limit, I did
something I've never done before .... I took a bus home. Sure enough I
passed a police roadblock but as it was a bus they waved it past.

I arrived home safely without incident, which was a real surprise, as I
have never driven a bus before and am not sure where I got it from!

Gun Forum Question

On Bud's Gun Shop Forums, the question came up: "What is the smallest
caliber you trust to protect yourself?"

My personal favorite defense gun has always been a Beretta Jetfire in 22
short.

Over all the years I've been hiking I never leave without it in my pocket.

Of course we all know too the first rule when hiking in the wilderness is to
use the "Buddy System".

For those of you who may be unfamiliar with this, it means you NEVER hike
alone, you bring a friend or companion -

that way if something happens there is someone to go get help.
I remember one time hiking with my brother-in-law on Raspberry Island near
Kodiak.

Out of nowhere came this huge brown bear and was she mad!

We must have been near one of her cubs.

Anyway, if I had not had my little Jetfire, I sure would not be here today.

Just one shot to my brother-in-law's knee cap and I was able to escape by
just walking at a brisk pace.
That's one of the best pistols in my safe...

Panicking when her two-year-old swallowed a tiny magnet, my neighbor rushed him to the emergency room. "He'll be fine," the doctor promised her. "The magnet should pass through his system in a day or two."

"How will I be sure?" she pressed.

"Well," the doctor suggested, "you could stick him on the refrigerator. When he falls off, you'll know."

We brought our newborn son to the pediatrician for his first checkup. As he finished, the doctor told us, "You have a cute baby."

Smiling, I said, "I bet you say that to all the new parents."

"No," he replied, "just to those whose babies really are good-looking."

"So what do you say to the others?" I asked.

"He looks just like you."
