An accountant was attending a tax seminar in Las Vegas. The lawyer sitting next to him was obviously bored with the pre- senter, and suggested the two of them slip out to the lobby for a cigar.

The accountant replied, "Well, thank you for the invite, but I tried smoking cigars once, and I didn't like them...I'll have to pass."

A few minutes passed, and the lawyer said, "This is a very tiresome presentation... how about we slip down to the bar and have a cocktail?"

Stop That!

Star InactiveStar InactiveStar InactiveStar InactiveStar Inactive

A very attractive young lady was sitting in a fine restaurant one night waiting for her date. She wanted to make sure everything was perfect.

As she bends down in her chair to get the mirror from her purse, she accidentally farts quite loudly just as the waiter walks up.

Sitting up straight now, embarrassed and red faced, knowing everyone in the place heard her, she turns to the waiter and demands "Stop That!"

The waiter looks at her dryly and says, "Sure, madam, which way is it headed?"

Computers, VCRs, DVD players, etc., tend to act up when we need them the most. The attached pic is my 2 year old FAX machine which worked perfectly until the warranty expired. Now it keeps eating paper, pulling 2 sheets thru at a time and worst of all, people keep calling me and telling me they did not get part or all of my fax. The desire is consuming me.

Dilbert's "Salary Theorem" states that "Engineers and scientists can never earn as much as business executives and sales people."

This theorem can now be supported by a mathematical equation based on the following two postulates:
