Day Brightener – 200 Meals Short

400 passengers but only 200 meals were loaded onto a flight from Delhi to New York City (long)

It was only discovered after take off, when the flight attendants started going through their preparations for the meals. So, the airline had bungled, and the crew was in a fix. However, one smart flight attendant had an idea.

A couple of hours into the flight she nervously announced, ‘Ladies and gentleman; we don’t know how this happened, but we have over 400 people on board, but only 200 dinners. Anyone who is kind enough to give up their meal to someone else, will receive unlimited free liquor for the duration of the flight!’

Her next announcement came six hours later.

‘Ladies and gentlemen, if anyone wants to change their mind, we still have 180 dinners available’.

Moral of the story: People who like to drink, have very kind hearts.

Friday Frivolity – Amazing Holes!

These holes are not only amazing, but some are really terrifying! The sheer scale of these holes reminds you of just how tiny we are.

Kimberley Big Hole – South Africa

Apparently the largest ever hand-dug excavation in the world, this 1097 meter deep mine yielded over 3 tons of diamonds before being closed.

Glory Hole – Monticello Dam, California 

A glory hole is used when a dam is at full capacity and water needs to be drained from the reservoir. It is the largest spillway of this type in the world and consumes 14,400 cubic feet of water every second.

Great Blue Hole, Belize 

This incredible geographical phenomenon known as a blue hole is situated 60 miles off the mainland of Belize . There are numerous blue holes around the world, but none as stunning as this one.

SHIT HOLE, Washington D.C.

This hole swallows trillions and trillions of U.S. Dollars annually! The money that falls into this hole is never heard from again, nor do we see any good come from it. It is reported to be filled with thousands of “ass holes.”TRULY AMAZING!!

Day Brightener – Now This Is Using Your Head

Mr Singh walks into a bank London and asks for the loan officer. He says he’s going to Europe on business for two weeks and needs to borrow £5000. The bank officer says the bank will need some kind of security for the loan, so Mr Singh hands over the keys to a new Rolls Royce, which costs quarter of a million pounds.

“The car is parked on the street in front of the bank,” says Mr Singh, “and I have all the necessary papers.”

The bank officer agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan. After Mr Singh leaves, the loan officer, the bank’s president and all their colleagues enjoy a good laugh at the man for using a £250,000 Rolls Royce as collateral against a £5,000 loan.

One of the employees drives the Rolls into the bank’s underground garage and parks it there. Two weeks later, Mr Singh returns, repays the £5000 and the interest, which comes to £15.41.

The loan officer says, “Sir, I must tell you, we’re all a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked you out and discovered that you’re a multimillionaire. Why would you bother to borrow £5,000?”

The man replies, “Where else in London can I park my car for two weeks for only £15.41?”

Day Brightener – Who’s The Boss?

When the Lord made man, all the parts of the body argued over who would be boss.

The brain explained that, “ since he controlled all parts of the body, he should be boss”.

The feet said, “We should be Boss since we carry the brain about and get him to where he wants to go”.

The hands argued that, “Since I must do all the work and earn all the money to keep all the rest of you going, I should be boss”.

The stomach countered with the explanation that, “since he digested all of the food, he should be boss”.

The eyes said that “ without them, man would be helpless, so they should be boss”.

Finally, the asshole spoke up and demanded that he should be boss. All the parts laughed at the idea of the asshole being the Boss. The Asshole was so angered that he blocked himself off and refused to function.

Within a short time,the brain went foggy, the legs got wobbly,the hands clenched, the stomach got ill, the eyes became crossed. Eventually, they all decided that the asshole should be the Boss, so the motion was passed. All the other parts did all the work while the Boss just sat and passed out the shit.

Moral Of The Story: You don’t need a brain to be a Boss-any asshole will do

Day Brightener – How to Diagnose a Patient

A young doctor moved out to a small community to replace an older doctor who was retiring. The older doctor suggested that the young one accompany him on his house-call rounds, so the community could become used to a new doctor. At the first house, a woman complained, “I’ve been a little sick to my stomach”

The older doctor said, “Well, you’ve probably been overdoing the fresh fruit. Cut back on the amount you’ve been eating and see if that does the trick.” As they left, the younger doctor remarked, “You didn’t even examine that woman!” and then asked, “How did you come to the diagnosis so quickly?”

“Ah! You noticed I dropped my stethoscope on the floor in there? When I bent over to pick it up, I noticed a half dozen banana peels in the trash. That was what has probably been making her sick.” The younger doctor replied, “Pretty clever! If you don’t mind, I think I’ll try that at the next house.”

Arriving at the next house, both physicians spent several minutes talking with a younger woman. She said that she just didn’t have the energy she once did and said, “I’m feeling terribly run down lately.”  “You’ve probably been doing too much for the church,” the younger doctor told her. “Perhaps you should cut back a bit and see if that helps.”

As they left, the elder doctor said, “I know that woman well. Your diagnosis is almost certainly correct, as she is very active in the church.” Then he asked, “But how did you arrive at it?” “I did what you did at the last house. I dropped my stethoscope and when I bent down to retrieve it, I noticed the pastor under the bed.”

Finally, everyone had gotten off except for a little old lady walking with a cane.

Friday Frivolity – Two Short Vignettes To Kick Off The Weekend

MNGosh friends, I’m sure proud to be from Minnesota.

Archeological Study: After having dug to a depth of 10 feet last year outside of Buffalo, New York, scientists found traces of copper cable dating back 120 years. They came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network more than 100 years ago.
 
Not  to be outdone by the New Yorkers, in the weeks that followed, a Los Angeles, California archaeologist dug to a depth of 20 feet somewhere just  outside Oceanside. Shortly after, a story in the LA Times read,  “California archaeologists, reporting a finding of 200 year old copper cable, have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network a hundred years earlier than the New Yorkers.”
 
One week later, a local newspaper in Duluth, MN reported the following: 
”After digging down about 30 feet deep in his pasture near the community of Anoka, Ole Olson, a hell of an engineer and a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing.  Ole has therefore concluded that 300 years ago, MN had already gone wireless.” 

Just makesmefeel so good to be from this fine enlightened state.
