Jokes & stories....

Joke

A cruise ship going through some rough waters and ended up sinking just off the coast of a small deserted island. There were only three survivors - two men and a woman.

The three lived there for a couple of years doing what was natural for men and women.

After several years of casual sex all the time, the girl felt really bad about what she had been doing. She felt having sex with both guys was so bad that she killed herself.

It was very tragic, but the two guys managed to get through it and, after a while, nature once more took it's inevitable course.

Well, a couple more years went by and the guys began to feel absolutely horrible about what they were doing.

So...

They buried her.

Joke

Late at night this guy runs into a pub and gets a glass of water from the bartender. The guy drinks it in one gulp then asks for a second glass.

Six glasses later, and he has recovered enough to speak. "Thanks," he croaks.

"That's one hell of a thirst you've got," says the bartender.

The guy says, "Any man would be as bad if they'd just had sex with the woman in my car. She's insatiable. She wants me to go right back out there and do it all again, but I can't."

"Where's your car?" the bartender asks.

"At the roadside," the guy gasps.

"Tell you what," says the bartender, "you watch the bar for me while I go out and take your place."

"Be my guest, the broad's a nympo. She'll do anybody."

So the bartender goes outside and gets in the car. It's totally dark, so the woman doesn't realize she's with a different man. They get right down to it, humping away. Five minutes later there's a knock on the window. It's a cop and he shines his flashlight on the naked couple.

"What's going on here?" he asks.

"It's all right, officer," explains the bartender. "She's my wife."

"Oh, sorry sir, I didn't realize..."

"Neither did I till you switched on that damned light."

Joke

Before shipping out to Europe with the Army Air Corps during World War II, my father loaned his buddy $20.00. The two were assigned to different units and lost touch. Months later, my father's plane was shot down. Bleeding from shrapnel wounds, he bailed out and was greeted by German soldiers who took him as a prisoner. After a long train ride, little food, and days of forced marching, he arrived at his assigned stalag.

As he entered the compound, he heard a familiar voice. "You followed me all the way here for a measly $20.00?"


Trivia answer....

Surface tension!

Surface tension plays matchmaker in changing the status of a bubble from being single and solitary, to being part of a couple, or part of a multiple bubble group.

Uniting the bubbles temporarily destroys the surface tension's equilibrium, but once the surface tension joins the bubbles, it establishes a new balance.

The internal air pressure of the single, solitary bubble slightly exceeds that of the air surrounding it, because the surface tension reduces the bubble's surface as it squeezes it into its round shape. The product of being squeezed is a buoyant bubble, which rises to the top of the water's surface, because of its own inner water level. The bubble happily floats about, surrounded by uniform surface tension, guided by the momentum it picked up when being formed, and by changes in air pressure.

In turbulent water, the surface tension pulls the water's surface into a slope, or meniscus, the bubble rides the wave, and floats to its crest.

The meniscus, though it does not extend far into the water, manages to divert the bubbles' attention away from each other to objects, such as the sides of the bathtub, a human body, a rubber ducky, etc. Because the slope's extension range is short, the range of the force between the bubbles is also short.

Two or more bubbles drifting close to each other do not pass each other like ships in the night if their surface tensions overlap. This overlap destroys their equilibrium, and, to compensate for the low tension between the bubbles, the high surface tension surrounding them forces them together and restores their equilibrium. If, however, the surface tension forces them together too rapidly, we have a case of fatal attraction, as the two bubbles collide and burst.

Technically speaking, when the bubbles meet, they join at the point of the smallest surface area and, if they join in the middle of calm waters, the energy level they give off as they connect can be seen to the naked eye as circular ripples. Alone together at last.
