I'm ready for more jokes.

1. When one door closes and another door opens, you are probably in prison.
2. To me, "drink responsibly" means don't spill it.
3. Age 60 might be the new 40, but 9:00 pm is the new midnight.
4. It's the start of a brand new day, and I'm off like a herd of turtles.
5. The older I get, the earlier it gets late.
6. When I say, "The other day," I could be referring to any time between yesterday and 15 years ago.
7. I remember being able to get up without making sound effects.
8. I had my patience tested. I'm negative.
9. Remember, if you lose a sock in the dryer, it comes back as a Tupperware lid that doesn't fit any of your containers.
10. If you're sitting in public and a stranger takes the seat next to you, just stare straight ahead and say, "Did you bring the money?"
11. When you ask me what I am doing today, and I say "nothing," it does not mean I am free. It means I am doing nothing.
12. I finally got eight hours of sleep. It took me three days, but whatever.
13. I run like the winded.
14. I hate when a couple argues in public, and I missed the beginning and don't know whose side I'm on.
15. When someone asks what I did over the weekend, I squint and ask, "Why, what did you hear?"
16. When you do squats, are your knees supposed to sound like a goat chewing on an aluminum can stuffed with celery?
17. I don't mean to interrupt people. I just randomly remember things and get really excited.
18. When I ask for directions, please don't use words like "east."
19. Don't bother walking a mile in my shoes. That would be boring. Spend 30 seconds in my head. That'll freak you right out.
20. Sometimes, someone unexpected comes into your life out of nowhere, makes your heart race, and changes you forever. We call those people cops.
21. My luck is like a bald guy who just won a comb.

3, 5, 6, 7, 13, 16, 17, and 21 :)
 
A man walks into the street and manages to get a taxi just going by.
He gets in, and the cabbie says, "Perfect timing.
You're just like Frank."
The passenger asks "Who?" The cabbie says "Frank Feldman."
There's a guy who did everything right.
Like my coming along when you needed a cab.
It would have happened like that to Frank every single time." Passenger: "Yeah.
But there are always a few clouds over everybody" Cabbie says "Not Frank.'
He was a terrific athlete.
He could have won the Grand-Slam at tennis.
He could golf with the pros.
He sang like an opera baritone, danced like a Broadway star, and you should have heard him play the piano."
The passenger replies "Sounds like he was something really special" Cab driver responds "There's more... he had a mind like a computer.
Could remember everybody's birthday.
He knew all about wine, which foods to order and which fork to eat with.
He could fix anything. Not like me.
I change a fuse, and the whole street blacks out."
Passenger: "Wow, some incredible guy"
The cabbie goes "He always knew the quickest way to go in traffic and avoid traffic jams, not like me. I always seem to get stuck in them."
"Passenger: "Mmm, there's not many like him around."
Cabbie: "And he knew how to treat a woman and make her feel good. And he'd never answer her back even if she was in the wrong; and his clothing was always immaculate, shoes highly polished too."
Passenger: "An amazing fellow How did you meet him?"
Cabbie: "Well, I never actually met Frank."
Passenger: "Then how do you know so much about him?"
Cabbie: "I married his f&%king widow..."
 
If you have a Tesla car, do not go down a dead-end street.

You might get stuck in there with no outlet.

This would be hilarious - if only it weren't so stinkin true.
 
1 QA to witness the change

1 OSHA inspector to verify that it was done... with the correct part, and correctly installed

1 (minimum) EPA representative to research and subsequently report on the effect to local wildlife of changing the bulb

1 manager to take the credit at the next staff meeting

How many to brace the ladder?

OSHA inspector determined climbing ladders to change light bulbs is an unsafe work practice. All light bulbs above 3meters (ten feet) must be accessed by a platform lift with appropriate fall protection harnesses. All ladders of more than 2m (six feet) in height to be removed from the workplace...


except for the ones on the actual fire apparatus parked in the fire station where this order actually was issued. :doh
 
Ha! I've actually had "Elevated Work Platform" training, and had to get it renewed annually.
Of course this was all after I had climbed a few cooling towers at a generating station and a few antenna towers for commercial broadcast...

I recently became OSHA 511 certified. Ironic. There will be no ladders or lightbulbs at the rally!
