    Re: Joke of the Day

    A new employee is leaving at the end of his first day and sees the big boss standing by a paper shredder with a confused look on his face.

    The boss looks at the new guy and ask "Do you know how to use this? This document has a lot of important confidential data on it."

    "Why yes I do sir" replied the eager young man as he takes the paper from his boss , turns on the machine and starts feeding the paper in.

    "Great " says the boss, "I need three copies."

        You forgot...

        2013 A.D. - That root is ok, but it doesn't completely work for everyone and there is a huge list of side effects that are worse than the original illness. Here, smoke these flowers (or eat these cookies).

                Some of the most tactful people on Earth are English. One office supervisor called a secretary in to give her the bad news that she was being fired. He started the conversation with: "Miss Symthe, I really don't know how we're going to get along without you, but starting Monday, we're going to try.

                    Re: Joke of the Day

                    Tom and Al walk into a bar for a little fun.

                    Once there they are annoyed that there is a loud obnoxious man drinking and boasting and bothering everyone. The man starts trying to bet people on how much they can drink. At one point he has the bartender line up 10 shots of tequila on the bar and shouts "I got $500 that says there ain't a man in here that got balls big enough to drink all 10 of those in 1 minute."

                    Tom looks at Al and says"We should take that bet, you know you can do it."

                    "Well, I don't know. I have never done that many before. I'm not sure."

                    Tom ignores his friends protest and yells "Right here buddy. We want that bet"

                    The old man laughs and puts his money down. Al walks up to the bar and looks at the shots for a moment. Then, all of a sudden he turns and runs out the door. The old man laughs even harder. "I knew you lightweights could not do it. He continues to rub it in for about 5 or 6 minutes when all of a sudden Al runs back in and slams down all 10 shots in about 50 seconds. He snatches the money off the bar and gives Tom a high five. Tom then ask "I was worried buddy, what happened?"

                    "Well, I wasn't sure I could do it, so I ran to the bar next door and tried it first!"

                        I would say, not even a little.
                        I know I should be ashamed of myself. Strangely though, I am not.

                          Re: Joke of the Day

                          May have posted this one before - sorry if it's a rerun, but still good for a laugh.

                          Tools Explained

                          DRILL PRESS:

                          A tall upright machine useful for suddenly snatching flat metal bar stock out of your hands so that it smacks you in the chest and flings your beer across the room, denting the freshly-painted project which you had carefully set in the corner where nothing could get to it.

                          WIRE WHEEL
                          :

                          Cleans paint off bolts and then throws them somewhere under the workbench with the speed of light. Also removes fingerprints and hard-earned calluses from fingers in about the time it takes you to say, "Oh, sh*t!"

                          SKIL SAW:

                          A portable cutting tool used to make studs too short.

                          PLIERS:

                          Used to round off bolt heads. Sometimes used in the creation of blood-blisters.

                          BELT SANDER:

                          An electric sanding tool commonly used to convert minor touch-up jobs into major refinishing jobs.

                          HACKSAW
                          :

                          One of a family of cutting tools built on the Ouija board principle ... It transforms human energy into a crooked, unpredictable motion, and the more you attempt to influence its course, the more dismal your future becomes.

                          VISE-GRIPS:

                          Generally used after pliers to completely round off bolt heads. If nothing else is available, they can also be used to transfer intense welding heat to the palm of your hand.

                          OXYACETYLENE TORCH:

                          Used almost entirely for lighting various flammable objects in your shop on fire. Also handy for igniting the grease inside the wheel hub out of which you want to remove a bearing race.

                          TABLE SAW:

                          A large stationary power tool commonly used to launch wood projectiles for testing wall integrity.

                          HYDRAULIC FLOOR JACK:

                          Used for lowering an automobile to the ground after you have installed your new brake shoes, trapping the jack handle firmly under the bumper.

                          BAND SAW:

                          A large stationary power saw primarily used by most shops to cut good aluminum sheet into smaller pieces that more easily fit into the trash can after you cut on the inside of the line instead of the outside edge.

                          TWO-TON ENGINE HOIST
                          :

                          A tool for testing the maximum tensile strength of everything you forgot to disconnect.

                          PHILLIPS SCREWDRIVER:

                          Normally used to stab the vacuum seals under lids or for opening old-style paper-and-tin oil cans and splashing oil on your shirt; but can also be used, as the name implies, to strip out Phillips screw heads.

                          STRAIGHT SCREWDRIVER:

                          A tool for opening paint cans. Sometimes used to convert common slotted screws into non-removable screws and butchering your palms.

                          PRY BAR:

                          A tool used to crumple the metal surrounding that clip or bracket you needed to remove in order to replace a 50 cent part.


                          HOSE CUTTER:

                          A tool used to make hoses too short.


                          HAMMER:

                          Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer nowadays is used as a kind of divining rod to locate the most expensive parts adjacent to the object we are trying to hit usually smashing the thumb that is holding the object that you are trying to pound into whatever it is that you are working on effectively eliminating the need for manicure care on that thumbnail for weeks. See: Son of a b*tch TOOL.

                          UTILITY KNIFE:

                          Used to open and slice through the contents of cardboard cartons delivered to your front door; works particularly well on contents such as seats, vinyl records, liquids in plastic bottles, collector magazines, refund checks, and rubber or plastic parts. Especially useful for slicing work clothes, but only while in use.

                          Son of a b*tch TOOL
                          :

                          Any handy tool that you grab and throw across the garage while yelling, "Son of a b*tch" at the top of your lungs. It is also, most often, the next tool that you will need.

                            Re: Joke of the Day

                            Proudly showing off his newly-leased downtown Pretoria apartment to a couple of friends late one night after a rugby game,
                            drunk Dave led the way to his bedroom where there was a big brass gong hanging on the wall.

                            'What's that big brass gong for?' one of the friend's asked.

                            'Issss nod a gong. Issss a talking Australian clock' Dave drunkenly replied.

                            'A talking Australian clock - seriously?'

                            'Yup.' 'Hmmm (hic).'

                            'How's it work?' the second friend asked, squinting at it.

                            'Just watch' he said.

                            He picked up a hammer, gave the gong an 'ear-shattering bash' and stepped back.

                            His three mates stood looking at one another for a moment in astounded silence.

                            Suddenly, an Australian voice from the other side of the wall screamed,

                            'For f*&k's sake, you stupid idiot. It's ten past three in the morning!!!

                                A new sales assistant was hired at a large department store. On his first day, the sales manager took him around to show him the ropes. They were passing by the gardening section, when they heard a customer asking for grass seed. The sales manager stepped in.Sales manager: Excuse me, but will you be needing a hose to water your lawn?
                                Customer : I guess so. I'll take one.
                                Sales manager: And how about some fertilizer and weed-killer?
                                Customer : Um, okay.
                                Sales manager: Here's a couple of bags. You'll also need a lawn mower to cut the grass when it starts growing too long.
                                Customer : I'll take one of those too.
                                After the customer left, the sales manager turned to the assistant. "You see?" he said, "that's the way to make a good sale. Always sell more than what the customer originally came in for."
                                Impressed, the assistant headed off for the pharmaceutical section, where he was to work. Soon, a man strolled in.
                                Man: I'd like to buy a pack of Tampax, please.
                                Sales assistant: Sure, and would you like to buy a lawn mower too?
                                Man: Why would I want to do that?
                                Sales assistant: Well, your weekend's shot to hell anyway, so you might as well mow the lawn.
