The Cesium song 12

Seventy Six Neutrons
(Tune, Seventy Six Trombones)

Seventy six lithe neutrons swayed on Cesiums bar,
Half a hundred and ten bold protons…

Hold it! Hold it!. Thats Cesium 131. Half life only about 9.69 days.
Lets go for immortality here. Worth a shot anyway…

Seventy Eight Neutrons
(Tune, Seventy Six Trombones)

Seventy eight lithe neutrons swayed on Cesiums bar,
Half a hundred and ten bold protons joined the press.
And the eletronettes were a-whirling in duets,
All but one, the singular miss Six S.

Seventy eight nubile neutrons writhed in close array,
Half a hundred and ten lusty protons swelled the crowd.
And the electron pairs played blue photonic airs,
From within a shining quantum cloud.

There were pions, muons, quarks and other fermions,
Tunneling, tunneling, in a state of partial dress.
Till an oily bit of water came a wandering,
And miss Six S got in a great big mess.

Seventy eight screaming neutrons ran and jammed the door,
Half a hundered and ten brave protons hit the ground.
There was a sky-blue flash, then nothing left but ash,
And the echo of a glorious thundering sound.

Skiing holiday

Jack decided to go skiing with his buddy, Bob. They loaded up Jacks mini van and headed north. After driving for a few hours, they got caught in a terrible blizzard. They pulled into a nearby farm and asked the attractive lady who answered the door if they could spend the night. I realize its terrible weather out there and I have this huge house all to myself, but Im recently widowed, she explained. Im afraid the neighbors will talk if I let you stay in my house. Dont worry, Jack said, well be happy to sleep In the barn. And if the weather breaks, well be gone at first light. The lady agreed, and the two men found their way to the barn and settled in for the night. Come morning, the weather had cleared, and they got on their way. They enjoyed a great weekend of skiing.About nine months later, Jack got an unexpected letter from an attorney. It took him a few minutes to figure it out, but he finally determined that it was from the attorney of that attractive widow he had met on the ski weekend.He dropped in on his friend Bob and asked, Bob, do you remember that good-looking widow from the farm we stayed at on our ski holiday up North? Yes, I do. Did you happen to get up in the middle of the night and go up to the house to pay her a visit? Yes, Bob said, a little embarrassed about being found out. I have to admit that I did. And did you happen to use my name instead of telling her your name? Bobs face turned red and he said, Yeah, sorry, buddy. Im afraid I did. Why do you ask? She just died and left me everything.

Jews on Mars

A spaceship lands on Mars, and the astronauts are getting ready to go out when they look out the window and see something really weird.



Radioing Earth they yell: Houston, weve got a problem, theres a bunch of fully-bearded green Martians wearing black clothes, sidecurls and hats out there.



Go out and make contact, find more about them, was the reply.



So they did, and when they approached the group one of the astronauts asked: Do you all dress like that?



Oh, not at all, reply the Martians, Only the orthodox ones!

Politics explained

How do you tell the difference between a liberal and a conservative?

Easy. Watch a man drowning fifty feet offshore.

The conservative will throw out 25 feet of rope and shout swim for it!

The liberal will toss out 50 feet of rope, drop his own end, and
go off to do another good deed.

The New Priest

A new priest at his first mass was so nervous he could hardly speak. After mass he asked the monsignor how he had done. The monsignor replied, When I am worried about getting nervous on the pulpit, I put a glass of vodka next to the water glass. If I start to get nervous, I take a sip. So the next Sunday he took the monsignors advice. At the begining of the serman, he got nervous and took a drink. He proceeded to talk up a storm. Upon return to his office after mass, he found the following note on his door:

1. Sip the vodka, dont gulp.
2. There are 10 commandments, not 12.
3. There are 12 disciples, not 10.
