Radio amateur jokes.
A radio ham died and arrived at the pearly gates. To his dismay, there
were thousands of people ahead of him in line to see St. Peter. To his
surprise, St. Peter left his desk at the gate and came down the long
line to where the radio ham was, and greeted him warmly. Then St. Peter
and one of his assistants took the radio ham by the hands and guided him
up to the front of the line, and into a comfortable chair by his desk.
The radio ham said, "I don't mind all this attention, but what makes me
so special?"
St. Peter replied, "Well, I've added up all the hours you've waffled...
... by my calculation you must be about 193 years old!"

A Dublin radio ham died in poverty and many barristers of the city sub-
scribed to a fund for his funeral. The Lord Chief Justice of Orbury
was asked to donate a shilling. "Only a shilling?" said the Justice,
"Only a shilling to bury a G3! Here's a guinea; go bury another 20.

The Pope and a radio ham find themselves together before the Pearly Gates.
After a small quantum of time which was spent discussing their respective
professions, ol' St. Peter shows up to usher them to their new Heavenly
station. After passing out wings, harps, halos and such, St. Pete decides
to show them to their new lodgings. Only a brief flight from the welcome,
Pete brings them down on the front lawn (cloud-encrusted, natch) of a
huge palatial estate with all sorts of lavish trappings. This, Pete
announces, is where the radio ham will be spending eternity, (at least until
the end of time..) "Hot Dang", the Pope says to His-self, "If he's getting
a place like this, I can hardly wait to see my digs!". They take flight
once again, and as Pete leads on, the landscape below begins to appear
more and more mundane until they finally land on a street lined with
Brownstone houses. Pete indicates the third walkup on the left as the
Popes new domicile and turns to leave, wishing the pontiff his best.
The Pope, in a mild state of astonishment, cries out "Hey Pete! What's the
deal here? You put that radio ham-feller in a beautiful estate home and I,
spiritual leader of terra-firma, end up with this dive?"
Pete looks at the pontiff amusedly and replys: "Look here old fellow,
this street is practically encrusted with spiritual leaders from many
times and religions. We're putting you here with them so you guys can
get your dogma together. That other guy gets an estate, because
he's the first radio ham to make it up here!!"

A judge in a semi-small city was hearing a drunk-driving case and the
defendent, who had both a record and a reputation for driving under the
influence, demanded a jury trial. It was nearly 4 p.m. and getting a
jury would take time, so the judge called a recess and went out in the
hall looking to impanel anyone available for jury duty. He found a
dozen radio ham's in the main lobby and told them that they were a jury.
The radio ham's thought this would be a novel experience and so followed
the judge back to the courtroom. The trial was over in about 10
minutes and it was very clear that the defendent was guilty. The jury
went into the jury-room, the judge started getting ready to go home,
and everyone waited.
After nearly three hours, the judge was totally out of patience and
sent the bailiff into the jury-room to see what was holding up the
verdict. When the bailiff returned, the judge said, "Well have they
got a verdict yet?"
The bailiff shook his head and said, "Verdict? Hell, they're still
waffling for the foreman's position!"

These two guys, George and Harry, set out in a Hot Air balloon to
cross the Atlantic Ocean. After 37 hours in the air, George says
"Harry, we better lose some altitude so we can see where we are".
Harry lets out some of the hot air in the balloon, and the balloon
descends to below the cloud cover. George says, "I still can't
tell where we are, lets ask that guy on the ground". So Harry
yells down to the man "Hey, could you tell us where we are?". And
the man on the ground yells back "You're in a balloon, 100 feet
up in the air". George turns to Harry and says "That man must
be a radio ham". And Harry says "How can you tell?". George says
"Because the advice he gave us is 100% accurate, and totally useless".

For three years, the young radio ham had been taking his brief
vacations at this country inn. The last time he'd finally managed
an affair with the innkeeper's daughter. Looking forward to an
exciting few days, he dragged his suitcase up the stairs of the inn,
then stopped short. There sat his lover with an infant on her lap!
"Helen, why didn't you write when you learned you were pregnant?"
he cried. "I would have rushed up here, we could have gotten married,
and the baby would have my name!"
"Well," she said, "when my folks found out about my condition, we
sat up all night talkin' and talkin' and decided it would be better
to have a fornicator in the family than a radio ham."

At a convention of biological scientists one researcher remarks to
another, "Did you know that in our lab we have switched from mice to
radio ham's for our experiments?"
"Really?" the other replied, "Why did you switch?"
"Well, for three reasons. First we found that radio ham's are far
more plentiful, second, the lab assistants don't get so attached to
them, and thirdly there are some things even a rat won't do. However,
sometimes it very hard to exterpolate our test results to human beings."

A certain radio ham was quite wealthy and had a summer house in the
country, to which he retreated for several weeks of the year. Each
summer, the radio ham would invite a different friend of his (no, that's
not the punch line) to spend a week or two up at this place, which
happened to be in a backwoods section of Maine.
On one particular occasion, he invited a Czechoslovakian friend to stay
with him. The friend, eager to get a freebee off a radio ham, agreed.
Well, they had a splendid time in the country - rising early and living
in the great outdoors.
Early one morning, the radio ham and his Czechoslovakian companion went
out to pick berries for their morning breakfast. As they went around
the berry patch, gathering blueberries and raspberries in tremendous
quantities, along came two huge Bears - a male and a female. Well, the
radio ham, seeing the two bears, immediately dashed for cover. His
friend, though, wasn't so lucky, and the male bear reached him and
swallowed him whole. The radio ham ran back to his Mercedes, tore into
town as fast has he could, and got the local backwoods sheriff.
The sheriff grabbed his shotgun and dashed back to the berry patch with
the radio ham. Sure enough, the two bears were still there. "He's in
THAT one!" cried the radio ham, pointing to the male, while visions of
lawsuits from his friend's family danced in his head. He just had to
save his friend. The sheriff looked at the bears, and without batting an
eye, leveled his gun, took careful aim, and SHOT THE FEMALE. "Whatdya do
that for!" exclaimed the radio ham, "I said he was in the other!"
"Exactly," replied the sheriff, "and would YOU believe a radio ham who
told you that the Czech was in the Male?"

A Russian, a Cuban, an American and a radio ham are in a train.
The Russian takes a bootle of the Best Vodka out of his pack; pours some
into a glass, drinks it, and says: "In USSR, we have the best vodka of
the world, nowhere in the world you can find Vodka as good as the one we
produce in Ukrainia. And we have so much of it, that we can just throw
it away..." Saying that, he open the window and throw the rest of the
bottle thru it. All the others are quite impressed.
The Cuban takes a pack of Havanas, takes one of them, lights it and
begins to smoke it saying: "In Cuba, we have the best cigars of the
world: Havanas, nowhere in the world there is so many and so good cigars
and we have so much of them, that we can just throw them away...".
Saying that, he throws the pack of havanas thru the window. One more
time, everybody is quite impressed.
At this time, the American just stands up, opens the window, and throws
the other two through it...
