Joke of the Month

A lawyer married a woman who had previously divorced ten husbands.

On their wedding night, she told her new husband, "Please be gentle, I'm still a virgin."

"What?" said the puzzled groom. "How can that be if you've been married ten times?"

"Well, Husband #1 was a sales representative: he kept telling me how great it was going to be.

#2 was in software services: he was never really sure how it was supposed to function, but he said he'd look into it and get back to me.

#3 was from field services: he said everything checked out diagnostically but he just couldn't get the system up.

#4 was in telemarketing: even though he knew he had the order, he didn't know when he would be able to deliver.

#5 was an engineer: he understood the basic process but wanted three years to research, implement, and design a new state-of-the-art method.

#6 was from finance and administration: he thought he knew how, but he wasn't sure whether it was his job or not.

#7 was in marketing: although he had a nice product, he was never sure how to position it.

#8 was a psychologist: all he ever did was talk about it.

#9 was a gynecologist: all he did was look at it.

#10 was a stamp collector: all he ever did was... God! I miss him! But now that I've married you, I'm really excited!"

"Good," said the new husband, "but, why?"

"You're a lawyer. This time I know I'm gonna get screwed!"

Racism

Isn't it sad to find out that the worst racists would not even consider being in the close proximity with a member of a hated human race, yet they will embrace as one of their own a member of one of the domesticated species of pets.

Altitude

Knowing that the sea levels are constantly changing, it is very difficult to accurately measure terrain altitudes. Would not it be easier to refer to an altitude based on its distance from the center of the Earth? I don't think that parameter is as unreliable.

Human Robots

We believe we humans are intelligent beings and are in full control of our brains, our actions, capabilities and are the only beings on this planet to be able to achieve whatever we can think of.

Or, are we? Can one possibly imagine Albert Einstein playing professional basketball or Mike Tyson being classically trained virtuoso pianist? Why did Alexander the Great need Aristotle as a teacher and why did Aristotle need Alexander as a student? How come there are extremely wealthy and powerful and at the same time we have a lot of people who do not know where their next meal is going to come from? Why are there criminals and mentally unstable among us?

We are all based on a number of preset states of mind and there is no way of getting out of it. Certain brain types guarantee that we will be who and what we are, nothing more, nothing less. One can try all he wants to becoming something that he is not wired to be and surely he is going to fail or what we call 'will be living mediocre life,stressed out, not fully understanding why life is so hard'. So many of us never discover our “calling”, so many of us believe we have, but none of us is aware of the fact that no one is actually in charge of their destinies. We all are lawyers, doctors, journalists, actors, criminals, politicians, laborers, soldiers, rich and poor, not by choice, but by combination of the two factors: preset brain wiring (that tells us what we are created to be and environmental influences that tell us whether we actually will become what we are created to be. This is all part of our genetic code and pretty soon we will all be told what our future will look like. Whether we like it or not.

Bernard Madoff's Case

Somehow I have this funny feeling that if bunch of little guys like you and I were majority of losers here, "poor old Bernie" would still be a free and honorable man and he might even ask for bailout money. It's the big guns who lost that brought him down, and no one knows who they really are.

Cognition

"One's wisdom should be limited to an awareness of his own ignorance."

Sexes

A woman wants one man to satisfy all her needs and a man wants all women to satisfy only one of his.

The Purpose

Can you imagine, if it takes only the smartest few of us to question and probe into the unknowns of life, and life was originated from the simplest chemical reaction imaginable (photosynthesis), how insignificant and simple we really are?

If this is true, than the dinosaurs had the equal right to believe they are the chosen ones too.

And if that is true, than, chances are, we are not.

Inteligentsia

Only the totalitarian and unjust political system is the one that is afraid of the segment of the society that is at the top of its intellectual structure. The true democratic society promotes education of its citizens without fear that one day those same intellectuals will realize the shortcomings of the system and will turn against it. The best political system is the one which, by promoting education, is actually seeking help from its citizens in making the whole society grow and flourish by analyzing, criticizing and implementing all the truly necessary changes.

Racism

It's been a fact in American history that if you had a tiniest bit of black blood in you, you are a 'negro'. That has been (and unfortunately still is for a lot of Americans) a racist way of looking at our social structure. In other words: if you have any black blood in you, you can't be equal to the rest of us, regardless of the fact that one of your parents is white.

So, if denouncing one part of your racial make up is racism, what do we call all these Americans who insist on themselves being 'black' despite the fact that one of their parents is not?
