Doc: Are you doing any extreme sports?
Me: From time to time I answer back my wife.

I knew I had a good response for that ...

It's facing to the right? I can just about see legs on the left hand side. I think.

Yes. Here it is, cut out from the photo.

I would maje a lousy predator.

Don't mind, the guys we're after cannot be slipped that easy

On a side note, how does anything ever eat a chameleon? The photographer did all of the work for me here. The only thing they could have done to make the animal more obvious would be to trace the outline with a magic marker. And I still have trouble picking it out of the background...

Color blind predators?

 

[Noisy Rhysling]

Ha. Try to find a frog in this pic.

It seems dried off and dead though ... like the whole scene in the photo. But it's still a frog!

Where? Can you circle them?

I went to buy toilet paper today. Charmin has "mega rolls", where 18 mega rolls equals 72 regular rolls. I wanted to buy two packages of that, but decided that would be gross.

That's one of the less plausible tellings of that one I've heard, it must be said. Funny though.

This one's in a similar vein: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/science-jokes-p2.847743/#post-5346238
The editorial comment at the bottom is on the money for me.

Indeed. The first time I heard it was on a Star Trek mailing list, where the carrier was named as the Enterprise. Captain's name not given, though.

I wasn't saying you were deliberately lying, I was saying that the shoes don't match that hat!

Let's go for a new story then, as had happened to me some years ago. I have told it in a different thread about public speaking, but as we talk about funny real life stories, here it goes.

There had been a famous worldwide computer virus in the nineties. It was an email virus and its hook was the subject line: "I love you". Maybe some of you will remember. We had a lot of fun at the time competing who had the most of them in our mailboxes. It was more annoying than causing serious trouble. Anyway, the hook line became famous in a way.

As our company changed its mail system to outlook, all local IT managers worldwide had gathered in UK's headquarter for a conference on how the new architecture had been installed and to be used. At the end of the talk, we could ask questions and I wanted to know how to deal with a massive infection with a then central server, so I stood up and asked completely seriously:
"Geoffrey, just in case of "I love you"... - that was how far I got as Geoffrey all of a sudden replied: "Oh, you better don't!"

Reminds me of my rules of marriage.

1. If, during a domestic dispute, the husband is found to be wrong, he should apologize immediately.

2. If, during a domestic dispute, the husband is found to be right, he should apologize immediately.

3. When in doubt, you're wrong.

A couple of friends super glued a baby carrier onto the top of their car and went driving around LA. The cops weren't amused.

For a few seconds I was picturing a baby aircraft carrier.

for all the true mechanical engineers out there ...

A ship engine failed and no one could fix it. Then they brought in a chap with 40 yrs on the job. He inspected the engine very carefully, top to bottom. After looking things over, the guy reached into his bag and pulled out a small hammer. He gently tapped something. Instantly, the engine lurched into life. The engine was fixed! 7 Days later the owners got his bill for 10k. 'What?!' the owners said 'You hardly did anything. Send us an itemized bill.” the reply simply said

Tapping with a hammer. .£2
Knowing where to tap. .£9998

Don't underestimate experience.

Did you hear about the aerials that got married? The ceremony was boring but the reception was great.

 

[phinds]

Or the furniture factory worker who died by drowning in a vat of varnish ... terrible way to die but it was a hell of a great finish.

 

[Ibix]

How about the person who drowned in a bowl of muesli? Pulled under by a strong currant.
