Deep Thoughts for Children
Friday, March 1, 2002
From an actual newspaper contest where entrants age 4 to 15 were asked to imitate "Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey."...

I believe you should live each day as if it is your Last, which is why I don't have any clean laundry because, come on, who wants to wash clothes on the Last day of their life? -- Age 15

Give me the strength to change the things I can, the grace to accept the things I cannot, and a great big bag of money. -- Age 13

Democracy is a beautiful thing, except for that part about letting just any old yokel vote. -- Age 10

For centuries, people thought the moon was made of green cheese. Then the astronauts found that the moon is really a big hard rock. That's what happens to cheese when you leave it out. -- Age 6

Think of the biggest number you can. Now add five. Then, imagine if you had that many Twinkies. Wow, that's five more than the biggest number you could come up with! -- Age 6

As you make your way through this hectic world of ours, set aside a few minutes each day. At the end of the year, you'll have a couple of days saved up. -- Age 7

Often, when I am reading a good book, I stop and thank my teacher. That is, I used to, until she got an unlisted number. -- Age 15

It would be terrible if the Red Cross Bloodmobile got into an accident. No, wait. That would be good because if anyone needed it, the blood would be right there. -- Age 5

If we could just get everyone to close their eyes and visualize world peace for an hour, imagine how serene and quiet it would be until the looting started. -- Age 15

With all the sadness going on in the world at the moment, it is worth pausing to reflect on the death of a legendary musician, which almost went unnoticed Last week.



Larry La Prise, the man who wrote "The Hokey Pokey," died peaceably at age 93. The most traumatic part for his family was getting him in the coffin. They put his left leg in . . . and then the trouble started.

Tower: "Delta 351, you have traffic at 10 o'clock, 6 miles!"

Delta 351 "Give us another hint! We have digital watches!"

================================================== ==========

"TWA 2341, for noise abatement turn right 45 Degrees."

"Center, we are at 35,000 feet. How much noise can we make up here?"

"Sir, have you ever heard the noise a 747 makes when it hits a 727?"

================================================== ==========

From an unknown aircraft waiting in a very long takeoff queue: "I'm f...ing

bored!"

Ground Traffic Control: "Last aircraft transmitting, identify yourself

immediately!"

Unknown aircraft: "I said I was f...ing bored, not f...ing stupid!"

================================================== ==========

O'Hare Approach Control to a 747: "United 329 heavy, your traffic is a

Fokker, one o'clock, three miles, Eastbound."

United 239: "Approach, I've always wanted to say this... I've got the

little Fokker in sight."

================================================== ==========

A student became lost during a solo cross-country flight. While attempting

to locate the aircraft on radar, ATC asked, "What was your Last known position?"

Student: "When I was number one for takeoff."

================================================== ==========

A DC-10 had come in a little hot and thus had an exceedingly long roll out

after touching down. San Jose Tower noted: "American 751, make a hard right

turn at the end of the runway, if you are able. If you are not able, take

the Guadalupe exit off Highway 101, make a right at the lights and return to

the airport."

================================================== ==========

There's a story about the military pilot calling for a priority landing

because his single-engine jet fighter was running "a bit peaked."

Air Traffic Control told the fighter jock that he was number two, behind a

B-52 that had one engine shut down.

"Ah," the fighter pilot remarked, "The dreaded seven-engine approach."

(FYI-B-52 has eight engines)

================================================== ==========

Taxiing down the tarmac, a DC-10 abruptly stopped, turned around and

returned to the gate. After an hour-long wait, it finally took off. A

concerned passenger asked the flight attendant, "What, exactly, was the

problem?"

"The pilot was bothered by a noise he heard in the engine," explained the

flight attendant "It took us a while to find a new pilot."

================================================== ==========

A Pan Am 727 flight waiting for start clearance in Munich overheard the

following:

Lufthansa (in German): "Ground, what is our start clearance time?"

Ground (in English): "If you want an answer you must speak in English."

Lufthansa (in English): "I am a German, flying a German airplane, in

Germany. Why must I speak English?"

Unknown voice from another plane in a beautiful British accent): "Because

you lost the bloody war."

================================================== ==========

Tower: "Eastern 702, cleared for takeoff, contact Departure on frequency 124.7"

Eastern 702: "Tower, Eastern 702 switching to Departure. By the way, after

we lifted off we saw some kind of dead animal on the far end of the runway."

Tower: "Continental 635, cleared for takeoff behind Eastern 702, contact

Departure on frequency 124.7. Did you copy that report from Eastern 702?"

Continental 635: " Continental 635, cleared for takeoff, roger; and yes, we

copied Eastern... we've already notified our caterers."

================================================== ==========

One day the pilot of a Cherokee 180 was told by the tower to hold short of

the active runway while a DC-8 landed. The DC-8 landed, rolled out, turned

around, and taxied back past the Cherokee. Some quick-witted comedian in

the DC-8 crew got on the radio and said,

"What a cute little plane. Did you make it all by yourself?"

The Cherokee pilot, not about to let the insult go by, came back with a real

zinger: "I made it out of DC-8 parts. Another landing like yours and I'll

have enough parts for another one."

================================================== ==========

The German air controllers at Frankfurt Airport are renowned as a

short-tempered lot. They not only expect one to know one's gate parking

location, but how to get there without any assistance from them.

So it was with some amusement that we (a Pan Am 747) listened to the

following exchange between Frankfurt ground control and a British Airways

747, callsign Speedbird 206.

Speedbird 206: "Frankfurt, Speedbird 206 clear of active runway"

Ground: "Speedbird 206. Taxi to gate Alpha One-Seven."

The PA 747 pulled onto the main taxiway and slowed to a stop.

Ground: "Speedbird, do you not know where you are going?"

Speedbird 206: "Stand by, Ground, I'm looking up our gate location now."

Ground (with quite arrogant impatience): "Speedbird 206, have you not been

to Frankfurt before?"

Speedbird 206 (coolly): "Yes, twice in 1944, but it was dark, -- and I

didn't land."

================================================== ==========

While taxiing at London's Gatwick Airport, the crew of a US Air flight

departing for Ft. Lauderdale made a wrong turn and came nose to nose with a

United 727. An irate female ground controller lashed out at the US Air

crew, screaming: "US Air 2771, where the hell are you going? ! I told you

to turn right onto Charlie taxiway! You turned right on Delta! Stop right

there. I know it's difficult for you to tell the difference between C and D,

but get it right!"

Continuing her rage to the embarrassed crew, she was now shouting

hysterically: "God! Now you've screwed everything up! It'll take forever

to sort this out! You stay right there and don't move till I tell you to!

You can expect progressive taxi instructions in about half an hour and I

want you to go exactly where I tell you, when I tell you, and how I tell

you! You got that, US Air 2771?"

"Yes, ma'am," the humbled crew responded.

Naturally, the ground control communications frequency fell terribly silent

after the verbal bashing of US Air 2771. Nobody wanted to chance engaging

the irate ground controller in her current state of mind. Tension in every

cockpit out around Gatwick was definitely running high.

Just then an unknown pilot broke the silence and keyed his microphone,

asking: "Wasn't I married to you once?"

A statistician gave birth to a son who weighed 8 1/2 ounces. She named him Max. But this statistician happened to be a Vietnamese immigrant, and her relatives in Vietnam were angry, saying things like "Why did you not give him a good Vietnamese name, hmm?" So when she had her second child, a premature girl weighing 4 ounces, she named her Min.

A few years after Min was born, the statistician again became pregnant. She gave birth to twins - a girl who weighed 10 ounces and a malnourished-looking little boy weighing only 2 ounces. What did she call them?

...

Mike was going to be married to Karen, so his father sat him down for a little fireside chat......He says "Mike, let me tell you something. On my wedding night in our honeymoon suite, I took off my pants and handed them to your mother, and said, 'Here - try these on.' So, she did and said, 'These are too big,I can't wear them.'
So I replied, 'Exactly. I wear the pants in this family and I always will.' Ever since that night we have never had any problems.
"Hmmm," says Mike. He thinks that might be a good thing to try. So, on his honeymoon, Mike takes off his pants and says to Karen, "Here try these on. "So she does and says, "These are too large, they don't fit me." So I replied, 'Exactly. I wear the pants in this family and I always will.' and I don't want you to ever forget that. "Then Karen takes off her pants and hands them to Mike and , "Here you try on mine." So he does and says, "I can't get into your pants."
So Karen says, "Exactly. And if you don't change your smart-*** attitude, you never will.

Listen up! If you don't laugh out loud at this one, call the morgue and reserve a tray, because you are dead. Always wear clean underwear in public, especially when working under your vehicle...
From the NORTHWEST FLORIDA Daily News comes this story of a Crestview couple who drove their car to Wal-Mart, only to have their car break down in the parking lot. The man told his wife to carry on with the shopping while he fixed the car in the lot. The wife returned later to see a small group of people near the car.
On closer inspection, she saw a pair of male legs protruding from under the chassis. Although the man was in shorts, his lack of underpants turned private parts into glaringly public ones. Unable to stand the embarrassment, she dutifully stepped forward, quickly put her hand UP his shorts, and tucked everything back into place.
On regaining her feet, she looked across the hood and found herself staring at her husband who was standing idly by. The mechanic, however, had to have three stitches in his forehead.

A newlywed couple had only been married for two weeks. The husband, although very much in love, couldn't wait to go out on the town and party with his old buddies. So, he said to his new wife, "Honey, I'll be right back."
"Where are you going, coochy cooh?" asked the wife.
"I'm going to the bar, pretty face. I'm going to have a beer."

The wife said, "You want a beer, my love?" She opened the door to the refrigerator and showed him 25 different kinds of beer, brands from 12 different countries: Germany, Holland, Japan, India, etc. The husband didn't know what to do, and the only thing that he could think of saying was, "Yes, lolly pop...but at the bar...you know...they have frozen glasses..." He didn't get to finish the sentence, because the wife interrupted him by saying, "You want a frozen glass, puppy face?" She took a huge beer mug out of the freezer, so frozen that she was getting chills just holding it.
The husband, looking a bit pale, said, "Yes, tootsie roll, but at the bar they have those hors d'oeuvres that are really delicious... I won't be long,I'll be right back. I promise. OK?" "You
want hors d'oeuvres, poochi pooh?" She opened the oven and took out 5 dishes of different hors d'oeuvres: chicken wings, pigs in blankets, mushroom caps, pork strips, etc.
"But my sweet honey... at the bar... you know... there's swearing, dirty words and all that..."
"You want dirty words, cutie pie?...
"LISTEN UP, D*&$HEAD! DRINK YOUR F*****G BEER IN YOUR GO#@$MN FROZEN MUG AND EAT YOUR MOTHER#$%^$#G SNACKS, BECAUSE YOU ARE MARRIED NOW. YOU AREN'T GOING ANYWHERE! GOT IT, A@@%$@E?"

...and, they lived happily ever after. Isn't that a sweet story?

GOOD

A Richardson, Texas policeman had a perfect spot to watch for speeders, but wasn't getting many. Then he discovered the problem -- a 12 year old boy was standing up the road with a hand painted sign which read "RADAR TRAP AHEAD". The officer then found a young accomplice down the road with a sign reading "TIPS" and a bucket full of money. (Gotta love that good ole American Entrepreneurial spirit!)


BETTER

A motorist was mailed a picture of his car speeding through an automated radar post in Plano, Texas. A $40 speeding ticket was included. Being cute, he sent the police department a picture of $40. The police responded with another mailed photo of handcuffs.


BEST

A young woman was pulled over for speeding. As the TX State Trooper walked to her car window, flipping open his ticket book, she said, "I bet you are going to sell me a ticket to the Texas State Police Ball." He replied, "Texas State Troopers don't have balls." There was a moment of silence while she smiled and he realized what he'd just said. He then closed his book, got back in his patrol car and left. She was laughing too hard to start her car.

45 top 20 RPG lists: http://www.webrpg.com/survey/

Pretty funny. From the 'Top Thirty Ways To Kill A Munchkin':
Quote:

Something I did on my game world was to wipe out magic...

At the end of a particular quest, the PCs managed to locate a tome of incredible power. Only, removing the book from it's resting place angered a particular deity, who tended to thumb through the book on occasion... The angered deity decided to punish the mortals by negating all magic existing in the world!

That is to say, *any* item, scroll, potion, etc that was already enchanted lost it's magical properties... New spells would continue to work as they were cast, and new magical items could be created, but all the old existing ones were suddenly non-magical.

The super-warrior of the party, complete with girdle of Giant Strength, Plate armor +3, Longsword +4, and Ring of Regeneration, etc, etc (all gained from a different GM) was reduced to a regular old "average" fighter... First battle they came up against after the magic faded, he rushed into melee as usual, not realizing what had become of his precious magically enhanced items... He had to be saved by the "weakling" Mage (that fighter thought all mages were weaklings), much to his own embarrassment. The fighter didn't Last much longer though, as the next encounter proved fatal. Old habits die hard, and he died quickly...

The next character that Player drew up had the "no magic items" clause in mind, and he actually came up with a superb PC with *personality*. Will wonders never cease?

FASHION ADVICE FOR THE CLOSE TO OR OVER 50 CROWD



Many of us "Older Folks" (those over 50, WAY over 50 or hovering near 50) are quite confused about how we should present ourselves. We're unsure about the kind of image we are projecting and whether we should conform to the fashions that the designers in NYC,



California, and/or Paris inflict upon the world. So I made a sincere study of the situation and here are the results:



The following combinations DO NOT go together and thus should be avoided:



1. A nose ring and bifocals

2. Spiked hair and bald spots

3. A pierced tongue and dentures

4. Miniskirts and support hose

5. Ankle bracelets and corn pads

6. Speedo's and cellulite

7. A belly button ring and a gall bladder surgery scar

8. Unbuttoned disco shirts and a heart monitor

9. Midriff shirts and a midriff bulge

10. Bikinis and liver spots

11. Short shorts and varicose veins

12. In-line skates and a walker



Please keep these basic guidelines foremost in your mind when you shop.

5 It's better to be down here wishing you were up there, than up there wishing you were down here.

7 Speed is life, altitude is life insurance. No one has ever collided with the sky.
8 It's best to keep the pointed end going forward as much as possible.
9 The only time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire.
10 Flying is the second greatest thrill known to man.... Landing is the first!
11 Every one already knows the definition of a 'good' landing is one from which you can walk away. But very few know the definition of a 'great landing.' It's one after which you can use the helicopter another time.
12 The probability of survival is equal to the angle of arrival.
13 Always remember you fly a helicopter with your head, not your hands. Never let a helicopter take you somewhere your brain didn't get to five minutes earlier.
14 You know you've landed with the wheels up when it takes full power
15 Those who hoot with the owls by night, should not fly with the eagles by day.
16 A helicopter is a collection of rotating parts going round and round and reciprocating parts going up and down - all of them trying to become random in motion. Helicopters can't really fly - they're just so ugly that the earth immediately repels them.

28 Son, I was flying gunships for a living when you were still in liquid form.
29 It's easy to make a small fortune in aviation. You start with a large fortune.

Got this one of off RPGsurvey too.

I just got the perfect thing to do when doing a test. (Wish I could do this)

When your doing a multiple choice test, take out a d4 and roll it. Don't actually choose your answer off of it, just roll it, check the number, nod or something and circle the right answer.

It would help if you actually know the right answers, but I figure however well you do, you could probably crack at least one good comment. Not to mention the strange looks you'll get. Especially if you do well. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

From my own RPG games...

I buy a horse, I buy a bow. Can you use a bow? No but I might as well learn. (later) We see a kobold hunting party? We charge! Im going to use my new bow. You roll a one. Charging, on a new horse, with a new weapon, you rolled a fumble. At full gallup you just shot your horse in the back of the head.

"Your dog is dead." "I take him with me" In town they have it stuffed and a magic mouth cast on it. Now the comment in the game is "the dead dog checks for traps" as they thow it into the room where it stands and barks

The Ogre in the group had a habit of having the Gnome check for traps, by throwing him.

You see carved into a tabletop in the bar, "for a good time, call Hastur". What do you do?

The dragon appears to be sleeping on piles of coin. You can see its sides moving slowly. "We sneak up on it and all attack together". It splits open and out fall carrion crawlers, rot grubs, and a small otyugh. The next day the town crier reports "Party of Brave Adventurers killed by Dead Dragon!" (the real pisser was that the party which had already killed the dragon had taken all thr treasure, except for the silver and copper of course)

I yell at the charging Barbarian Leader "WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU WERE ME TO PROVE THAT YOU WERE YOU?". What is his reaction?

I point behind him and yell at the Ogre "LOOK, ITS THE OLDEST TRICK IN THE BOOK!" What does he do?

"We bash in the door." You enter and find...
"We bash in the door." You enter and are attacked...
"We bash in the door." You enter and find...
"We knock on the door." Ummmm... ummm... a grumpy voice inside says "what?". We growl "Pizza"

And our favorite long-running joke...
Whats a cow cost? 16 copper. We buy a cow. But you are going into a dungeon. Yes we push the cow in front of us to "check for traps". We follow the cow. We are the Cult of the Cow! She is our leader!

Re: Jokes and Riddles Centre
 
I don't know how true it is but it sounds good .... fun reading ..

Here's some stuff you never read in your history books


LIFE IN THE 1500'S


The next time you wash your hands and complain because the water temperature isn't just how you like it, think about how things used to be. Here are some facts about the1500s:

Most people married in June because they took their yearly bath in May, and still smelled pretty good by June. However, they soon started to smell, so brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor. Hence the custom today of carrying a bouquet when getting married.

Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the house had the privilege of nice clean water, then all the other sons and men, then the women nd finally the children. Last of all were the babies. By then the water was so dirty you could actually lose someone in it. Hence the saying, "Don't throw the baby out with the bath water."

Houses had thatched roofs-(thick straw-piled high, with no wood underneath.)

It was the only place for animals to get warm, so all the cats and other small animals (mice, bugs) lived in the roof. When it rained it became slippery and sometimes the animals would slip off the roof. Hence the saying "It's raining cats and dogs."

There was nothing to stop things from falling into the house. This posed a real problem in the bedroom where bugs and other droppings could mess up a nice clean bed. Hence, a bed with big Posts and a sheet hung over the top afforded some protection. That's how canopy beds came into existence.

The floor was dirt. Only the wealthy had something other than plain dirt. Hence the saying "dirt poor." The wealthy had slate floors that would get slippery in the winter when wet , so they spread thresh (straw) on floors to help keep their footing. As the winter wore on, they adding more thresh until when you opened the door it would all start slipping outside. A piece of wood was placed in the entrance to hold the thresh. Hence the saying a "thresh hold."

(Getting quite an education, aren't you?)

In those old days, they cooked in the kitchen with a big kettle that always hung over the fire. Every day they lit the fire and added things to the pot. They ate mostly vegetables and not much meat. They'd eat the stew for dinner, leaving leftovers in the pot to get cold overnight and then start over the next day.Some- times stew had food in it that had been there for quite a while. Hence the rhyme, "Peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold, peas porridge in the pot nine days old."

When they could obtain pork, it made them feel quite special. When visitors came over, they'd hang up their bacon to show off. It was a sign of wealth that a man could "bring home the bacon." They'd cut off a little to share with guests and all sat around and "chewed the fat."

Those with money owned plates made of pewter. Food with high acid content caused some of the lead to leach onto the food, causing lead poisoning & death. This happened most often with tomatoes, so for the next 400 years or so, tomatoes were considered poisonous.

Bread was divided according to status. Workers got the burnt bottom of the loaf, the family got the middle, and guests got the top, or "upper crust."

Lead cups were used to drink ale or whisky. The combination would sometimes knock the imbibers out for a couple of days. Someone walking along the road would take them for dead and prepare them for burial. They were laid out on the kitchen table for a couple of days and the family would gather round, eat & drink and wait to see if they would wake up. Hence the custom of holding a "Wake."

England is old and small so the local folks started running out of places to bury people. So they'd dig up coffins and take the bones to a "bone-house" & reuse the grave. When reopening the coffins, many were found to have scratch marks on the inside and they realized they'd been burying people alive. So they tied a string on the wrist of the "corpse", lead it through the coffin.up to the ground and tie it to a bell. Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night (the "graveyard shift") to listen for the bell; thus, someone could be "saved by the bell" or was considered a "dead ringer."

This sure sounds like a joke:

- Internationally, a material is not classified as a radioactive material until it has a radionuclide activity concentration of 70 Becquerels/gram.

- In the European Community the unconditional release limit for materials containing radium is 10 Bq/g
- In the United States, levels are much more conservative ... at less than 0.37 Bq/g.
- In Canada, unconditional release limits are among the lowest in the world with unconditional release granted if the activity level is 0.30 Bq/g or less.
Material with up to 1 Bq/g of activity may be acceptable for release if radiological assessments indicate that the way in which it is used will not result in any greater amount of exposure than if it were 0.30 Bq/g or less.

-

The coffee you drank this morning?
About 1 Bq/g

Fertilizer on your lawn?
2.2 Bq/g

Your campfire wood?
3.4 Bq/g

The Human Body?
About 4 Bq/g http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

If you live in the US or Canada, your kids are worse than radioactive waste!
