An 85-year-old couple, after being married for almost 60 years, died in a car crash. They had been in good health the last ten years, mainly due to the wifes interest in health food and exercising. When they reached the Pearly Gates, St. Peter took them to their mansion, which was decked out with a beautiful kitchen, master bath suite and a Jacuzzi. As they looked around, the old man asked St. Peter how much all this was going to cost. Its free, St. Peter replied. This is Heaven.Next, they went out in the back yard to survey the championship-style golf course that the home bordered. They would have golfing privileges every day and each week, the course changed to a new one representing the great golf courses on earth. The old man asked, What are the greens fees? St. Peter replied, This is heaven, you play for free. Next, they went to the club house and saw the lavish buffet lunch with the cuisines of the world laid out. How much to eat? asked the old man. Dont you understand yet? This is Heaven, it is free! St. Peter replied, with some exasperation. Well, where are the low fat and low cholesterol tables? the old man asked timidly.St. Peter lectured, Thats the best part, you can eat as much as you like of whatever you like and you never get fat and you never get sick either. This is, after all, Heaven. With that, the old man went into a fit of anger, throwing down his hat and stomping on it, and screaming wildly. St. Peter and his wife both tried to calm him down, asking him what was wrong. The old man looked at his wife and said, This is all your fault! If it werent for your blasted bran muffins, I could have been here ten years ago!
A little old lady goes to the doctor and says, "I have this problem with gas, but it really doesnt bother me too much. They never smell and are always silent. As a matter of fact, Ive farted at least 20 times since Ive been here in your office. You didnt know I was farting because they dont smell and are silent."The doctor says, "I see, take these pills and come back to see me next week."The next week the lady goes back. "Doctor," she says, "I dont know what the hell you gave me, but now my farts — although still silent — stink terribly."The doctor says, "Good! Now that weve cleared up your sinuses, lets work on your hearing…."

Take five or six hits of acid. Tell yourself very firmly that hamsters _are_ electricity. (Well, theyve got lots of electrons in them, yes?) Acquire hamsters however you choose; operationally, youve now got electricity. (I say five or six hits, because I find that things which were perfectly clear to me after _one_ hit, e.g., that the word Krups is actually an make onomatopeiac piece of German slang for an unprintable Viennese practice, make absolutely no sense afterwards.)

It is a well-known result of quantum field theory that all fields are symmetric under the combined action of time-reversal, charge-conjugation and parity-inversion operators: the familiar TCP symmetry. It is trivial to show that time reversal and charge conjugation both take fermions into their anti-particles. Use this to show that plucking hamsters from mirrors will produce beaucoup electromagnetic radiation. (Hint: Do you need to pull the hamsters out of the mirror _going_backwards_in_time_?) Ref: J. J. Sakurai,_Adv. Quan. Mech.
Put female hamster scent on glass rod. Release male hamster. He will try to rub his furry coat against glass rod. Drawback: only creates static electricity.
The New York Times, among other papers, recently published a new Hubble Space Telescope photograph of distant galaxies colliding.
Of course, astronomers have had pictures of colliding galaxies for quite some time now, but with the vastly improved resolution provided by the Hubble, you can actually see the lawyers rushing to the scene.
El padre le dice a sus hijos:
Si me prometéis no fumar hasta cumplir los veintiún años, os daré cien mil pesetas en ese dÃa.
La hija mayor, que tiene diecisiete años, recibe la noticia con entusiasmo:
¡Cien mil pesetas! ¡Te lo prometo, papá!
El segundo, que ha cumplido quince años, dice:
Tendré que pensármelo; me falta mucho para llegar a los veintiuno.
El padre se dirige al menor, de diez, que escucha preocupado.
¿Y tú, Daniel, que dices?
¡Lástima, papá! ¿Por qué no me lo ofreciste antes?
One day a blonde was horseback riding. Everything was going fine until the horse started going too fast and bouncing out
of control. The blonde tried with all her might to hang on, but soon was thrown off. With her foot caught in the stirrup, she fell head first to the ground. Her head continued to bounce on the ground as the horse would not stop or even slow down. Just as the blonde was about to give up hope and was losing consciousness… The K-Mart manager came out and unplugged the horse.

Three chaps – an American, a Chinese, and a German – were shipwrecked on a
deserted island. The German found this smoky bottle. So he brought it back to
the other two, and they all opened it together. Well, a genie popped out! The
genie granted them each one wish under a condition he wanted to tell them later.
Of course, all three wanted to be back home.
The genie said he would grant them their wishes. But first, you must all do me
a favour. Mr. American, I want you to built me a restaurant here. Mr. German,
you will make the kitchen for this restaurant. Mr. Chinaman, you will get the
supplies for the restaurant. I will return in one month. At that time, if you
have satisfied my requirements, I will grant your wishes.
The German and the American started their work immediately. But the Chinese just
sat relaxed and enjoyed life. The others warned him to start his work. But the
Chinese said, I will do my wolk. Do not wolly.
Then about four days before the genies expected return, the Oriental
disappeared. The genie came back, just as he promised, and asked to be shown
what they had done. He was amazed by the restaurant. Five dining rooms, a
tremendous main lobby – all made of bamboo! It was a magnificent feat. As for
the kitchen – full utensils, running gas stoves, pots, pans – all made from
shells, bamboo, and coconuts. An absolute wonder!
But where are the supplies from Mr. Chinaman?
The two men said they did not know. All they knew was that he had disappeared a
few days ago and they had not seen him since then.
Suddenly from the shadows came the Oriental, shouting in a loud voice,
Suplise!
If youre going to go down, go down with style. Failing your final exam can actually be an amusing experience, depending on what you make of it. Here are some suggestions… Bring a pillow. Fall asleep (or pretend to) until the last 15 minutes. Wake up, say oh geez, better get cracking and do some gibberish work. Turn it in a few minutes early.
Get a copy of the exam, run out screaming Andre, Andre, Ive got the secret documents!!
If it is a math/science exam, answer in essay form. If it is long answer/essay form, answer with numbers and symbols. Be creative. Use the integral symbol.
Make paper airplanes out of the exam. Aim them at the instructors left nostril.
Talk the entire way through the exam. Read questions aloud, debate your answers with yourself out loud. If asked to stop, yell out, Im SOOO sure you can hear me thinking. Then start talking about what a jerk the instructor is.
Bring cheerleaders.
Walk in, get the exam, sit down. About five minutes into it, loudly say to the instructor, I dont understand ANY of this. Ive been to every lecture all semester long! Whats the deal? And who the hell are you? Wheres the regular guy?
Bring a Game Boy (or Game Gear, etc…). Play with the volume at max level.
On the answer sheet (book, whatever) find a new, interesting way to refuse to answer every question. For example: I refuse to answer this question on the grounds that it conflicts with my religious beliefs. Be creative.
Bring pets.
Run into the exam room looking about frantically. Breathe a sigh of relief. Go to the instructor, say Theyve found me, I have to leave the country and run off.
Fifteen minutes into the exam, stand up, rip up all the papers into very small pieces, throw them into the air and yell out Merry Christmas. If youre really daring, ask for another copy of the exam. Say you lost the first one. Repeat this process every fifteen minutes.
Do the exam with crayons, paint, or fluorescent mar
