Was That Redundant
Posted: July 30th, 2011 | Author: Dr. Bill Stillwell | No Comments »Yesterday, somebody told me a joke I heard about 20 years
ago. It was first told by the great comedian, Alan King, who
I think died about 7 years back, if memory serves.
King said, "My definition of redundancy is air bags in a
politician’s car."
It reminds me of an old MIlton Berle line, "You can lead a
man to Congress, but you can’t make him think." I think
Uncle Miltie left us about 9 years ago.
Then there was an email from a customer, after I sent out
a column on why you shouldn’t drink soda. She said, "I
stopped drinking Coke when my housecleaner said that
it was the best thing ever to remove toilet stains."
Did you know that the moon weighs 81 billion tons?
My question is: Who built that scale and how high did it
go?
Here’s one that cost me $20. The question is: What
was invented first: the airplane, or the parachute?
The answer is the parachute, invented 120 years
before the airplane. The original purpose of the parachute
was to be able to jump off burning buildings.
Can’t you just hear Johnny Carson saying to Ed McMahon,
"I did not know that."
A New York Times reporter, traveling in Afghanistan, was
surprised to see a woman still walking 5 paces behind her
husband. She rushed over to the woman and asked, "Why,
after so many social changes, she was still walking a
distance behind her husband. The Afghani woman answered,
"Land mines."
Why do they sterilize the needles for lethal injections?
If carrots are so good for the eyes, how come there are
so many dead rabbits on the highway?
The first testicular guard "cup" was used in hockey, in
1874, and the first helmut was used in 1974. It took 100
years for men to realize that the brain is also important.
