A little humour

This isn’t as funny as the Liberty Bell routine but it is a legitimate news story that I read today and thought it would be humorous. I was fact checking an email listing humorous headlines. One of them was this:
“Signals that baffled astronomers for 17 years traced to observatory’s microwave oven”

Here is the story: https://www.theguardian.com/science/2015/may/05/microwave-oven-caused-mystery-signal-plaguing-radio-telescope-for-17-years

There was a lost albino Dalmatian in our neighborhood.
Good thing I spotted it.

What isn't funny about the is it took SCIENTISTS 17 years to figure this out!

I seemed to bring more of the green out from the conductors in bands in which I played!

From the radio:

Dolphins have shown their intelligence by training humans to come to the edge of their pool and throw them food.

More from the airwaves:

A father takes his daughter to work with him on the appropriate day. He shows her around his workplace, and after a short while, the girl starts crying. "What's the matter, Sweetheart?" asks the father as his co-workers look on. The daughter replies loudly: "Where are all the clowns you keep saying you work with?"

I was walking out of a nursing home after visiting a patient there, when I heard a discussion between a male resident sitting out on a sidewalk bench, and an obvious lady of ill-repute scantily clothed.

I heard the woman of the street ask the male nursing resident: Sir, would you like super sex?

The resident's reply was:
Well, I'll take the soup!

Mice are not, as is commonly assumed on Earth, small white squeaking animals who spend a lot of time being experimented on. In fact they are hyper-intelligent pan-dimensional beings who are searching for the ultimate question. It is this search that led to the creation of the Earth.

At first they intend to get the Magrathean's to rebuild the Earth in order to complete the experiment. However in the end they ask Arthur to find them the ultimate question so that they can make lots of money on the talk show circuit.

The whole business with the cheese and the squeaking is just a front.

Actually, Jackie Vernon settled that back in the 60s - "wet birds never fly at night."

Embarrassing conversations ( well, almost )
Conversation with neighbor: Hey, Wayne, how are you?
BigDub ( me) : Great, how about yourself?
Len: all right, you?

Person at the airport check in desk, to me: have a great flight.
Me: you, too.

Saying, "you, too", as a response is not necessarily so good.
Try it sometime. See how many inappropriate situations you can find. It’s great fun.

What's fun is actually giving an honest answer to that question.

I don't know! Sounds to me like you were having a flight of ideas.

I don't know I just think that giving the response of "I'm feeling suicidal today," to the cashier's question "How are you?" Just doesn't seem quite right.

Yeah... "I'm feeling homicidal." works better. It gives the cashier more to think about.
