I first heard this one from Harrison Ford.
A grocery store employee was stocking shelves.
A woman came and asked, "Where is the broccoli?"
The man said, "Sorry. We're out of broccoli. We'll have more tomorrow."
A minute later the same woman asked again, "Where is the broccoli?"
The man said, "I told you. We're out of broccoli."
A minute later the woman got right in his face. She said, "I can't find the broccoli."
The man said, "Do me a favor lady. How do you spell cat as in catastrophe?"
She said, "C A T."
He said, "How do you spell dog as in dogma?"
She said, "D O G."
He said, "How do you spell freak as in broccoli?"
She said, "But there is no freak in broccoli."
He said, "That's what I've been trying to tell you lady."

Have you heard about Jimmy Kimmel's new TV show?
It's sort of like those British baking competition shows. Contestants start with a set of fabrics and other materials, and work simultaneously for a fixed amount of time to see who can make the best-looking hat.
It's called "Who Wants to Be a Milliner?"
(Hint if you don't "get" it: Kimmel's current game show)

I suppose that's a variant of the suggestion that, instead of airbags, every car should be fitted with a sharp, pointed spike attached to the centre of the steering wheel, pointed at the driver's chest. That would make people drive more carefully.phinds said:![]()

Actually the early vehicles were equipped with such mechanism, i.e the steering column itself. Then they invented the collapsible steering column. I guess they didn't work as intended.DrGreg said:I suppose that's a variant of the suggestion that, instead of airbags, every car should be fitted with a sharp, pointed spike attached to the centre of the steering wheel, pointed at the driver's chest.

[From the 80's]
A car has a flat tire and a DEC Field Service engineer is summoned to address the situation.
He swaps all four tires until he finds the one that's flat.
