I wasn't saying you were deliberately lying, I was saying that the shoes don't match that hat!davenn said:well I never stated it as a fact, after all it is a jokes forum section and next to nothing posted in this section bears any
resemblance to reality

Let's go for a new story then, as had happened to me some years ago. I have told it in a different thread about public speaking, but as we talk about funny real life stories, here it goes.
There had been a famous worldwide computer virus in the nineties. It was an email virus and its hook was the subject line: "I love you". Maybe some of you will remember. We had a lot of fun at the time competing who had the most of them in our mailboxes. It was more annoying than causing serious trouble. Anyway, the hook line became famous in a way.
As our company changed its mail system to outlook, all local IT managers worldwide had gathered in UK's headquarter for a conference on how the new architecture had been installed and to be used. At the end of the talk, we could ask questions and I wanted to know how to deal with a massive infection with a then central server, so I stood up and asked completely seriously:
"Geoffrey, just in case of "I love you"... - that was how far I got as Geoffrey all of a sudden replied: "Oh, you better don't!"

for all the true mechanical engineers out there ...
A ship engine failed and no one could fix it. Then they brought in a chap with 40 yrs on the job. He inspected the engine very carefully, top to bottom. After looking things over, the guy reached into his bag and pulled out a small hammer. He gently tapped something. Instantly, the engine lurched into life. The engine was fixed! 7 Days later the owners got his bill for 10k. 'What?!' the owners said 'You hardly did anything. Send us an itemized bill.” the reply simply said
Tapping with a hammer. .£2
Knowing where to tap. .£9998
Don't underestimate experience.

A bear walks into a bar and orders a vodka. As the barman gets the bottle down the bear adds "...and coke".
"Why the big pause?" asks the barman.
"They're good for catching fish," says the bear.
