A professor is giving the first year medical students their first
lecture on
autopsies, and decides to give them a few basics before starting.
"You must be capable of two things to do an autopsy. The first
thing is that
you must have no sense of fear."
At this point, the lecturer sticks his finger into the dead man's
anus, and
then licks it. He asks all the students to do the same
thing with the
corpses in front of them.
After a couple of minutes silence, they follow suit.
"The second thing is that you must have an acute sense of observation:
I
stuck my middle finger into the corpse's anus, but I licked my
index."
Performance Review
One day, a project leader was asked to submit a review of one
of his
employees. He wrote the following:
1) Bob Jones, my assistant programmer, can always be found
2) hard at work in his cubicle. Bob works independently, without
3) wasting company time talking to colleagues. Bob never
4) thinks twice about assisting fellow employees, and he always
5) finishes given assignments on time. Often, Bob takes extended
6) measures to complete his work, sometimes skipping coffee
7) breaks. Bob is a dedicated individual who has absolutely no
8) vanity in spite of his high accomplishments and profound
9) knowledge in his field. I firmly believe that Bob can be
10) classed as a high-caliber employee, the type which cannot
be
11) dispensed with. Consequently, I duly recommend that Bob be
12) promoted to executive management, and a proposal will be
13) executed as soon as possible.
Regards - Project Leader
Shortly thereafter, the HR department received the following
memo from the same project leader:
Sorry, but that idiot was reading over my shoulder while I wrote
the report sent to you earlier today. Kindly read only
the odd
numbered lines for my true assessment of him.
Regards - Project Leader
Great Writer
There was once a young man who, in his youth, professed his desire
to
become a great writer.
When asked to define "great" he said, "I want to write stuff that
the
whole world will read, stuff that people will react to on a truly
emotional level, stuff that will make them scream, cry, howl
in pain
and anger!"
He now works for Microsoft, writing error messages.
Americans vs Canadians
The following is the transcript of an ACTUAL radio conversation
released by
the Chief of Naval Operations, of a US naval ship with Canadian
authorities
off the coast of Newfoundland in Oct. 1995. Reprinted in
the Memorial
University campus newspaper.
Americans: Please divert your course 15
degrees to the North to avoid a
collision.
Canadians: Recommend you divert YOUR course
15 degrees to the South to avoid
a collision.
Americans: This is the captain of a US
Navy ship, I say again, divert YOUR
course.
Canadians: No. I say again, you divert YOUR course.
Americans: THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER
US MISSOURI. WE ARE A
LARGE WARSHIP OF THE US NAVY. DIVERT YOUR COURSE NOW !
Canadians: THIS IS A LIGHTHOUSE. Your call.
A Bar Story
One night, a police officer was staking out a particularly rowdy
bar for
possible violations of driving-under-the-influence laws.
At closing time he saw a fellow stumble out of the bar, trip on
the curb, and
try his keys on 5 different cars before he found his. Then,
sat in the front
seat, fumbling around with his keys for several minutes.
Everyone left the
bar and drove off. Finally, he started his engine and pulled
away.
The police officer was waiting for him. He stopped the
driver, read him his
rights, and administered the breathalyzer test. The results
showed a reading
of 0.0.
The puzzled officer demanded to know how this could be.
The driver replied,
"Tonight, I'm the Designated Decoy."
