Three blondes were at the police station, applying for job openings in the police force.
The detective interviewing them said, So you want to be cops, huh? They all agreed.
He told them sternly that if they wanted to be a cop, they had to be very observant. So, he took an 8 x 10 photo of a criminal out of his file, and held it up close to the first blondes face just for a few seconds. He then asked her if she had noticed anything unusual about the man.
She answered immediately, Oh, yes, he only has one eye.
The detective was irritated. Of course, he only has one eye. Its a profile shot. Get out of here.
The first blonde left with her head down.
He held the picture up to the second blonde for a few seconds and then asked, do you see anything different about this man?
Yes, she said, He only has one ear.
Didnt you hear what I told the other girl? the detective yelled. Get out of here.
The second blonde sadly left.
So he held the photo up in front of the third blondes nose for a second and then jerked it away. What did you see different about this man? he asked gruffly.
Oh, he is wearing contacts, the blonde answered.
The detective searched through all his paperwork, and sure enough, this man did wear contacts!
He just had to find out how she knew. How did you know he wore contacts?
Well, duh, she said, with only one eye and one ear, the man cant wear glasses!

The Admiral said he walking down a San Diego Street on a rare rainy day and noticed an Ensign approaching. The Ensign just passed right by the him without saluting. The admiral stopped the Ensign and asked him if he knew that he was required to salute senior officers. The Admiral said the Ensign looked at him and replied: "Sir, since you're wearing your rain coat, and you're so tall, I couldn't see your shoulder boards or the scrambled eggs on your hat, I couldn't tell if you were senior or not." Admiral replied: " ENSIGN, tell me something... Just who the hell are you senior to."
.
Which reminds me of the story of when I was a young lieutenant assigned to learn all I could from the sergeant in the motor pool. One day he was on the phone and I could hear him announcing his wares.
"Well", he said, "We have Trucks for Sergeants, Jeeps for Captains, Sedans for Colonels and Lee-mo-zeens for Fat A$$ Generals.
I could hear the angry voice on the other end of the line. "Do you know who this is?", the voice shouted. My sergeant said, "No". The voice continued, "This is General Morton"!
My sergeant never missed a beat as he said in a calm voice, "Do you know who this is?" The caller shouted "NO!" The Sergeant said "Goo-Bye fat a$$ General!"

Xhi,Great minds do think a like. I just got back on my computer and copied the Admiral/Ensign story from the Hardware Topic and was going to paste it here and dedicate it to you and Lenny.
Your story was a good one too.

Lenny, Now your time to tell us a Sea story.
By the way, Please go to the Hardware Topic, (That's where I posted the Adm.Ens. story), and read my post on Video cards, and the replies thereto, and provide any info. on your knowledge of Video cards.

Seadog,
I just don't currently have a sea story. There must be some buried in the depths of my ancient brain and I'll try to dredge up something.
re video cards: I haven't had the need of one so far. This is my third computer but so far on board video is all that I have needed. Until 2 years ago this past August, about all that I could do was E-mail and play a little music. At that point in time I joined this board and what I currently know I have learned here.

I can't imagine anyone not knowing this story, but here goes...
A captain of a naval ship calls on the radio to the Canadians, "Divert your course 2 degrees to the north to avoid a collision."
The Canadians at the other end calls back, "You should divert your course 2 degrees to the south to avoid a collision."
The first ship calls back, "I say again, divert your course 2 degrees to the north to avoid a collision."
The Canadians responds, "I say again, divert your course 2 degrees to the south to avoid a collision."
The ship calls back again, "I'm a captain of a large US Navy war ship. Divert your course now!"
The Canadians answers back, "We're a light house, it's your call." |
