- It seems that there was a missionary lost in the depths of Africa.
- He came upon this tribe of cannibals that advertised all of their
- various delicacies. He saw signs such as:
-
- Doctor’s brains : $4.50 a pound
- Engineer’s brains: $2.50 a pound
- Cement Mixer’s brains: $6.00 a pound
- Lawyer’s brains: $300.00 a pound
-
- “Why in the world,” he asked the head honcho, “do lawyers brains cost so much?”
-
- “Do you know how many lawyers it takes to get a pound of brains?”
- was the reply.

- This guy walks into a saloon and sits down next to a man at the bar, after a few
- beers, he says, “Did you hear the one about the IBM PC programmer?”
-
- The man at the bar says “Wait a minute, I *am* an IBM PC programmer and you see
- my friends over there,” pointing to a bunch of hefty looking guys in leather
- jackets, “They’re all IBM PC programmers too!”
-
- “Well,” the guy says, “I guess I’d better not tell it then, I’d have to explain
- it too many times.”

- A priest was walking along the cliffs at Dover when he came upon two locals
- pulling another man ashore on the end of a rope. “That’s what I like to see”,
- said the priest, “A man helping his fellow man.”
-
- As he was walking away, one local remarked to the other, “Well, he sure doesn’t
- know the first thing about shark fishing.”

- The duck hunter trained his retriever to walk on water. Eager to show off this
- amazing accomplishment, he asked a friend to go along on his next hunting trip.
- Saying nothing, he fired his first shot and, as the duck fell, the dog walked on
- the surface of the water, retrieved the duck and returned it to his master.
- “Notice anything?” the owner asked eagerly.
- “Yes,” said his friend, “I see that fool dog of yours can’t swim.”

- It appears that after his death, Albert Einstein found himself working as the
- doorkeeper at the Pearly Gates. One slow day, he found that he had time to chat
- with the new entrants. To the first one he asked, “What’s your IQ?” The new
- arrival replied, “190”. They discussed Einstein’s theory of relativity for
- hours. When the second new arrival came, Einstein once again inquired as to the
- newcomer’s IQ. The answer this time came “120”. To which Einstein replied,
- “Tell me, how did the Cubs do this year?” and they proceeded to talk for half an
- hour or so. To the final arrival, Einstein once again posed the question,
- “What’s your IQ?”. Upon receiving the answer “70”, Einstein smiled and asked,
- “Got a minute to tell me about VMS 4.0?”

- A mathematician, a physicist and an engineer were each asked to prove the
- proposition “All odd numbers are prime.”
-
- The mathematician said “Well, let’s see…1 is prime…3 is prime…5 is prime…7 is
- prime…so the theorem is true by mathematical induction.”
-
- The physicist said “Well, 1 is prime…3 is prime…5 is prime…7 is prime…9 is not
- prime, but we can attribute that to experimental error.”
-
- The engineer said “Well, 1 is prime…3 is prime…5 is prime…7 is prime…9 is
- prime…11 is prime…”
