Jokes & stories....

Joke

There was this couple that was married for 20 years, and every time they had sex the husband always insisted on shutting off the lights. Well, after 20 years the wife felt this was stupid. She figured she would break him out of the crazy habit. So one night, while they were in the middle of doin' it, she turned on the lights. She looked down and saw her husband was holding a dildo. She gets completely upset.

"You impotent bastard," she screamed at him, "how could you be lying to me all of these years. You better explain yourself!"

The husband looks her straight in the eyes and says, calmly, "I'll explain the dildo if you can explain our three kids."

Joke

Felix was playing golf with our town's fire chief when he hit a ball into the rough. As Felix headed for the brush to find his ball, the chief warned him, "Be careful, the rattlesnakes are out."

The chief explained that calls had been coming in all week requesting assistance with removing the snakes.

"You've got to be kidding," Felix replied in astonishment. "People actually call the fire department to help them with rattlesnakes? What do you say to them?"

"Well," said the chief, "the first thing I ask is, 'Is it on fire?'"

Joke

Myrddin had gotten a part time job at the Post Office and the supervisor there had been warned that he was somewhat of a dullard, but the supervisor took a liking to him and agreed to let Myrddin help him. If nothing else, he would be an extra set of hands.

The supervisor gives Myrddin the job of sorting, and much to everyone's surprise, Myrddin separated the letters so fast that his motions were literally a blur. Extremely pleased by this, the supervisor approached Myrddin at the end of the day.

"I just want you to know," he said, "that we're all very proud of you. You're one of the fastest workers we have ever had."

"Thank you," said Myrddin, "and tomorrow I'll try to do even better."

"Better?" the supervisor asked with astonishment. "How can you possibly do better?"

Myrddin replied, "Tomorrow I am going to read the addresses."

Joke

An elderly couple who were childhood sweethearts had married and settled down in their old neighborhood and are celebrating their fiftieth wedding anniversary. They walk down the street to their old school. There, they hold hands as they find the old desk they'd shared and where he had carved "I love you, Sally."

On their way back home, a bag of money falls out of an armored car practically at their feet. She quickly picks it up, but they don't know what to do with it so they take it home. There, she counts the money, and it's fifty thousand dollars.

The husband says, "We've got to give it back."

She says, "Finders keepers." And she puts the money back in the bag and hides it up in their attic.

The next day, two FBI men are going door-to-door in the neighborhood looking for the money and show up at their home. They say, "Pardon me, but did either of you find any money that fell out of an armored car yesterday?"

She says, "No."

The husband says, "She's lying. She hid it up in the attic."

She says, "Don't believe him, he's getting senile."

But the agents sit the man down and begin to question him. One says, "Tell us the story from the beginning."

The old man says, "Well, when Sally and I were walking home from school yesterday. . . "

The FBI guy looks at his partner and says, "Let's get out of here."

Joke

A guy walks into a bar with his dog. They both go up to the barstool and sit down. The owner orders two beers. The bartender just frowns and says, "Look buddy, we can't have any dogs sitting up at the bar."

The owner retorts, "But this is no ordinary dog." The bartender doesn't budge from his stance and tells the guy to leave.

The owner protests, "Look, this is no ordinary dog. This is a talking dog."

The bartender says, "Yeah right buddy. Okay, why don't you and your talking dog leave the bar?"

The owner says, "Okay, I'll tell you what. I'll go into the bathroom and take a leak. You can talk to my dog while I go. If you still want us to leave when I get back, we will."

So the owner leaves. And the dog and the bartender start talking it up like they are long lost friends. The bartender starts to really like this dog. There talking about sports and beer and women.

So the bartender comes up with an idea. He turns to the dog and says, "Look, I have a friend who owns the bar across the street. If I give you $20 will you go into the bar and order a beer from him?"

The dog says, "No problem", and gets up and leaves.

The owner comes back and asks where his dog is. The bartender explains about the joke. So the owner leaves to get his dog.

Right out of the bar, the owner sees his dog humping another lady dog. And the owner says, "Hey, get off of her. Why have I never seen you doing this before?"

To which the dog replies, "Because I've never had $20 before."


Trivia answer....

Color television pictures are produced by three different colors: red, green and blue. These combine to create a whitish light with a color temperature close to that of daylight (5500 to 6500 Kelvin).

Color temperature is a way of describing the relative amounts of the different colous that make up the light from a particular source. It can be thought of roughly as the temperature an object would need to be heated to give off light with that mixture of wavelengths. At low temperatures, low-energy colors such as red and yellow predominate; at higher temperatures the proportions of green or blue increase.

For example, standard tungsten light bulbs have a color temperature of 3200 K and are very yellow. Your eyes adjust to this light, making it appear whiter and more like daylight. At twilight or at night, anything with a higher color temperature than tungsten lights, such as a television, appears distinctly blue.

The same effect is seen if you look out of a room lit by tungsten light. The twilight appears particularly blue, and yet if you were to go outside and look at the same scene, the eye would no longer compare it to the lit room and the colors would appear more neutral.

The converse is also true. Viewed from outside, the windows of houses lit by tungsten light sources look distinctly yellow. Fluorescent sources generally have a spectrum much closer to that of daylight and don't produce the same effect.
