Hmmmm. I don't get it. (Other than the fact that he's looking for someone with
whom he can watch porn, I think. It's the spreadsheet stuff that confuses me, I
guess.)

The last line was the funny bit "drop table" is a command to the database to remove a table. "drop table people" had the effect of removing the people...

But not their possessions.

I guess you have to be a database wonk to think it's funny.

Or just have spent enough time writing code for them, I suppose. I am not a database wonk (that would be Kenny over on the other side of the building), but I have written some SQL...

An Emergency Call Center worker in London, England, has been sacked, much to the dismay of her colleagues who are reportedly unhappy with her dismissal.

It seems a male caller dialed 999 from a mobile phone, stating, "I am depressed and lying here on a railway line. I am waiting for the train to come so that I can finally meet Allah."

"Remain calm and stay on the line," was not considered to be an appropriate response...

Growing up in the South.......


A possum is a flat animal that sleeps in the middle of the road.


There are 5,000 types of snakes and 4,998 of them live in the South.


There are 10,000 types of spiders. All 10,000 of them live in the South, plus a couple no one's seen before.

It is not a shopping cart, it is a buggy!


Jawl-P? means, Did you all go to the bathroom?


People actually grow, eat and like okra.


Fixinto is one word. It means I'm going to do that.


There is no such thing as lunch. There is only dinner and then there's supper.


Iced tea is appropriate for all meals and you start drinking it when you're two. We do like a little tea with our sugar. It is referred to as the Wine of the South.


Backwards and forwards means I know everything about you.


The word jeet is actually a question meaning, 'Did you eat?'


You don't have to wear a watch, because it doesn't matter what time it is, you work until you're done or it's too dark to see.


You don't PUSH buttons, you MASH em.


Ya'll is singular. All ya'll is plural.


All the festivals across the state are named after a fruit, vegetable, grain, insect, or animal.


You carry jumper cables in your car - for your OWN car.


You only own five spices: salt, pepper, mustard, Tabasco and ketchup.


The local papers cover national and international news on one page, but require 6 pages for local high school sports, the motor sports, and gossip.


Everyone you meet is a Honey, Sugar, Miss (first name) or Mr.(first name)


You think that the first day of deer season is a national holiday.


You know what a hissyfit is..


Fried catfish is the other white meat.


We don't need no dang Driver's Ed. If our mama says we can drive, we can drive!!!


You understand these jokes and forward them to your Southern friends and those who just wish they were from the SOUTH

Awwww, bless your heart!

The fortune of all possums is to end up in the middle of a road. Therefore, if you are lost in the South, find a possum, and follow it. Eventually, you will find a road.

A joke from the TV show, Bones:

Shroedinger is driving along and gets pulled over for speeding.
The cop asks him, "What's in the trunk?"
Shroedinger says, "A cat."
The cop opens the trunk and says, "This cat's dead."
Shroedinger says, "Well, it is now!"

Schrödinger was a special character:)
So was Richard Feynman.
Here is an anecdote of his.

While in Kyoko I tried to learn Japanese with a vengeance. I worked much harder at it, and got to a point where I could go around in taxis and do things. I took lessons from a Japanese man every day for an hour.
One day he was teaching me the word for "see." "All right," he said. "You want to say, 'May I see your garden?' What do you say?"
I made up a sentence with the word that I had just learned.
"No, no!" he said. "When you say to someone, 'Would you like to see my garden?' you use the first 'see.' But when you want to see someone else's garden, you must use another 'see,' which is more polite."
"Would you like to glance at my lousy garden?" is essentially what you're saying in the first case, but when you want to look at the other fella's garden, you have to say something like, "May I observe your gorgeous garden?" So there's two different words you have to use.
Then he gave me another one: "You go to a temple, and you want to look at the gardens..."
I made up a sentence, this time with the polite "see."
"No, no!" he said. "In the temple, the gardens are much more elegant. So you have to say something that would be equivalent to 'May I hang my eyes on your most exquisite gardens?"
Three or four different words for one idea, because when I'm doing it, it's miserable; when you're doing it, it's elegant.
I was learning Japanese mainly for technical things, so I decided to check if this same problem existed among the scientists.
At the institute the next day, I said to the guys in the office, "How would I say in Japanese, 'I solve the Dirac Equation'?"
They said such-and-so.
"OK. Now I want to say, 'Would you solve the Dirac Equation?' — how do I say that?"
"Well, you have to use a different word for 'solve,' " they say.
"Why?" I protested. "When I solve it, I do the same damn thing as when you solve it!"
"Well, yes, but it's a different word — it's more polite."
I gave up. I decided that wasn't the language for me, and stopped learning Japanese.

Three passengers on a smallish, twin-engine plane -- The Pope, Hillary
Clinton, and a Boy Scout. The plane develops severe engine problems,
and the pilot leaves the cabin and announces -- sorry, that he is --
that he'll be bailing out. Opening a side door, he does just that.

He's shortly followed by the copilot, who says much the same thing, and
bails out.

Hillary grabs a parachute, and announces that, because she's the smartest
woman in the world, she should save herself -- and bails out.

The Pope turns to the Boy Scout, and says: "My son, you are young, and
have your entire life ahead of you. Take the remaining parachute.

The scout replies: "No need to worry, Holy Father. There are, actually,
two parachutes remaining. That smartest woman in the world just bailed out
with my back-pack."
