Things are running a bit (pun intended) warm on LXer these past few days, so I thought I'd drop a thread for some light-hearted humor. I'll start: What do you call a CRT that can heal its own failing circuits? A Christian Science monitor. |
| helios Jan 21, 2012 9:37 AM EDT |
Gus you should be ashamed of yourself. I know you're not, but you should be. Nice... ;-) |
| dinotrac Jan 21, 2012 10:05 AM EDT |
@ken, @gus -- Yes. Although the evil in me would love to see a smackdown between that Christian Science monitor and a monitor lizard. |

So a guy on a motorcycle is at a stoplight when his friend pulls up along side him in his car. "Hey man, why do you have your dog strapped to the sissy bar?" Biker replys: "I'm having him put to sleep." Friend's reply: "Why, is he mad?" Biker ponders, spits on the street and answers: "Well, he ain't to frickin' happy about it." |

Well, if dino wants lawyer jokes, here's a few golden oldies: Q: What do you call 1,000,000 lawyers at the bottom of the ocean? A: A good start. Q: How was copper wire was created?

OK, you asked for it... Two guys, a lawyer & an accountant are deep sea fishing, when the boat suddenly capsized, and sunk to the bottom, leaving the two men treading water. The accountant sees sharks circling,... and when he sees a big shark circling, he thinks they're done for. The accountant says to the lawyer, "We're dead, pal,... nice knowing you." The lawyer says, "We're not sunk yet,..." whistles to the big shark, who dives under them and comes up under the lawyer who promptly puts his hand out to his accountant friend. The two ride the shark to shore,... where it drops them off, ... breaches, waiving its tail fin to the lawyer after dropping them off, and goes back out to deep sea... The accountant is amazed, shocked and stupified. He says to the lawyer, "How are Earth did you do that!?!? I thought we were dead!!!" The lawyer nonchalantly says to his accountant friend, "Oh that,... that's nothing,... professional courtesy. " |

Cheez --- OK.... A prominent defense attorney arrives at the gates of heaven, only to be greeted by the splendid vision of St. Peter himself. Come on in, he called out warmly. Let me show you to your new home. As they walked along, St. Peter showed the newly deceased homes of heaven's current residents. That nice little neighborhood over there is chock full of good souls, he said, gesturing towards row upon row of nice but unpretentious little homes. That's not where you'll live, he said. They came upon a shabbier, but still pleasant neighborhood. Lots of priests, pastors, and rabbis over there, he said. The further they walked, the worse and worse the neighborhoods because, leading the late lawyer to become very concerned that this might not be heaven at all, especially as we was sure that he recognized some bishops, a pope or two, and somebody who might even have been Mother Theresa and another who might have been Mohtama Gandhi. Suddenly, they came upon a gleaming mansion, more magnificent than any dwelling he had ever seen. "Is that God's house?", he asked. St Peter laughed and said, "Technically speaking, they all are. But no, that's your house." The late lawyer was dumbfounded. "I don't get it. All those priests, and bishops and saints -- they weren't exactly living in luxury." "Of course not," ol' St Pete replied. "They're a dime a dozen up here. On the other hand, we've never had a lawyer before." |

@khamul -- Not clear which one you're referring to -- the lawyer or the shark. Wait -- never mind. You really can't insult a lawyer. |

Three engineers and three accountants from the same company are going to a conference by train. The accountants dutifully buy their tickets at the ticket counter. However, the engineers just buy one ticket. One of the accountants asks how they will all be able to travel on one ticket? The engineers reply, "Watch and see..." They all get on the train. The accountants take their seats, but just as the ticket inspector is coming round, all the engineers cram into a nearby lavatory. When the ticket inspector comes round, he knocks on the door of the lavvy. The door opens a crack, a hand pops out with the one ticket, the inspector punches the ticket then moves on down the train. The accountants are suitably impressed. "We'll do that on the way back: we'll save so much money!" On the return journey, the accountants go to the ticket counter and buy a single ticket. However, the engineers buy no ticket at all. An accountant asks the engineers how they will manage with no ticket. "Watch and see...," they reply. They all get on the train. The accountants all cram into a single lavatory and the engineers cram into a nearby one. As the ticket inspector is coming down the train, one of the engineers gets out, walks up to the accountant's lavvy and shouts "Tickets please!" |

A manager, mechanical engineer, and software engineer are driving down a mountain road when the brakes fail. The car careens around the corners, barely hanging on, the driver pumping madly on the brake pedal. As they approach a hairpin turn certain death awaits. They cannot make the turn and beyond it is a plunge to the valley below. At the last second the brakes catch and the car screeches to a stop inches from the edge. The manager jumps from the car and immediately gets on his cell phone, looking for someone to hold responsible. The mechanical engineer opens the hood and starts checking brake fluid, lines, discs, pads, etc. The software engineer looks quizzically at the car, scratching his head, and says, "Well, I dunno what happened. But I can figure it out if we take it to the top and try again." |

Jimmy and Johnny the 9 year old twins, decide one morning that they are old enough to start swearing. So they go downstairs to breakfast all set. The mother asks Jimmy what he wants for breakfast, to which Jimmy replies "(eff) it woman, give me some (effing) oatmeal." The mother grabs up Johnny and drags him kicking and screaming to the sink and washes his mouth out with soap. She then sends him upstairs to his room crying the whole way. After a few minutes to compose herself, she turns to Johnny and asks him what he wants, to which he replies "I don't know, but you can bet your (effing) (donkey) that I don't want any oatmeal!" |

A young monk arrives at the monastery. He is assigned to helping the other monks in copying the old canons and laws of the church by hand. He notices, however, that all of the monks are copying from copies, not from the original manuscript. So, the new monk goes to the head abbot to question this, pointing out that if someone made even a small error in the first copy, it would never be picked up! In fact, that error would be continued in all of the subsequent copies. The head monk, says, 'We have been copying from the copies for centuries, but you make a good point, my son.' He goes down into the dark caves underneath the monastery where the original manuscripts are held as archives in a locked vault that hasn't been opened for hundreds of years. Hours go by and nobody sees the old abbot. So, the young monk gets worried and goes down to look for him. He sees him banging his head against the wall and wailing. We missed the R! We missed the R!! We missed the R!!! His forehead is all bloody and bruised and he is crying uncontrollably. The young monk asks the old abbot, 'What's wrong, father?' With a choking voice, the old abbot replies, 'The word was... CELEBRATE!! |

Topic: changing light bulbs. How the Marines do it: One stands on a chair holding the bulb, while the other 99 rotate the barracks*. _________ * I believe this process implies some preparation** by the 99, otherwise I cannot understand how the single trooper holding the bulb gets it firmly screwed into the socket. In any case, that is the way it was told to me. ** Such removing at least a portion of the floor or revising the building's orientation to match the respective threads. |

Q: How many light bulb jokes does it take to change a light bulb joke? A: Hmmmm - the probability that a given light bulb joke will be submitted to the net in any given week is .4, and the probability that it will have changed detectably since the last transmission is .2 . Hence (assuming independence, which is reasonable since no submitter of a light bulb joke ever seems to know it has been submitted before, within the last 2 or 3 weeks), the probability that it will change in a given week is .08. So it takes about 12.5 light bulb jokes to change a light bulb joke. |

@mbaehrlxer: That one's BS (for Linux, the other two are correct). It's easy to tell: they say you should learn Java. No true Linux geek likes Java, and the only time it's used is for cr@ppy cross-platform apps that are dog-slow and have horrible, ugly UIs that don't match anything else on your system. |

@Koriel: You're right, it's possible to make Java apps that aren't cr@ppy-looking, but it's not the norm. Most of them look totally out-of-place on any system they're running on. The slowness isn't nearly as much of a problem as it used to be either, with modern CPUs (but again, "slow" is a relative term; compared to a C or C++ app, Java will always be slow; bytecode can never be as fast as native code). However, Python apps have taken over the crown here; those things are always horrendously slow, even on modern multi-core CPUs. But, they're all the rage now. |

khamul: the joke is on how other people see linux. java sort of fits there because as a non-linux user the best hope to get something working on linux is java. heck, i do the same from the other side. if i want to write a program that can run on windows, i'd use java, because i can develop it on linux and it will just run on windows for the most part. (please noone now suggest i could use python too or we'll both be banished from this thread :-) how many users does it take to make a windows or mac joke? 2: one to tell the story, and one to laugh about it. how many users does it take to make a linux joke? 3: one storyteller, one to laugh about it and one to nitpick about the details. khamul: it appears that you are in the "all programming languages that don't compile to machine-code are slow" camp. i can understand you. i have been there myself. it was my worst mistake, and i suffered for years because of it. but don't worry: you too can be saved! your personalized therapy begins here: http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/ your therapy program involves picking a task from http://rosettacode.org/ and measure it using the measure scripts from the shootout. your goal is to find the slowest (turing complete) programming language in existence. and then you are to use that language to write some actually useful programs. once you have accomplished that we will allow you to work with faster languages such as python or java (to name the two you mentioned). we end the therapy with letting you work in lisp (using a lisp implementation that compiles to machine code and is written in lisp (yes, that's parentheses all the way down! (C is not the only language that can produce machine-code (i'd invite you to use pike too, but that only produces partial machine-code so it is less effective for the purpose of this therapy)))). that should completely heal you of your complexion. what is real reason programs are slow? the computer has to spend to much time waiting for the user to respond. greetings, eMBee. |

I hope this isn't too risque for this board, but I thought it was funny: ===== Three married couples wish to join the congregation of the local church. One newly wedded couple, one middle aged couple and a pair of old age pensioners. So they approach the parson. "We have particular rules here. Only couples that have proved their dedication are welcome at our church. You must all abstain from sex for 2 weeks. After that time, if you have succeeded in this task, then you will be welcome in our congregation." Thus spaketh the parson. Two weeks pass and the couples arrive back to report on their "test". The first couple to report is the pensioner couple. "We haven't had sex for years: it was no problem." The parson says to them, "$Deity bless you, you are welcome to our flock." The second couple reports: they are the middle-aged couple. "The first week was fine, but the second week was difficult. However, we managed!" "Superb," says the parson. "You may joyfully enter our congregation!" Finally, the newlywed's husband reports as to their fortnight's activities. "I'm sorry parson. At first we were doing fine. However, one day my wife was reaching up for a can of peas on the shelf and it fell to the floor. When she bent over to pick it up, I was overcome with lust and we did 'it' right then and there." The parson looks forlorn and says, "I am sorry, you will not be welcome in our congregation". The young husband signs and says, "Oh well, we're not welcome in Safeway either..." |

If I may be serious for a moment, I would like to point out that total energy is equal to mass times the speed of light squared .... UNLESS you're getting it at Costco, in which case you can get that energy for about 85% of energy * the speed of light squared, even less if you get the Kirkland brand. |

dinotrac: i think you mean: costco energy = mass * 0.85 * speed of light squared. but this has me confused. since it is an equation it would mean the same mass yields less energy than usual... greetings, eMBee.

@JaseP - Disappointing technology? Are you frackin' nuts? BSOD means virtual machines use nearly no resources other than memory, which an intelligent hypervisor could shuttle out.
