I just found out some interesting things about vegetarians. The English translation of the Navajo word for vegetarian is "he who is lousy hunter". Also, although it's true that most vegetarians are vegetarians because they love animals, there are a few who are vegetarians because they hate plants. You can spot them in restaurants laughing demonically as they eat their brussel sprouts. Personally, I'm only a partial vegetarian. I just adore spinach and collard green plants and would never DREAM of eating them.

Funny stuff.
The tale actually came up as #2 on the Google book.
Now I don't know if I should tell what happened the second time the phone rang.
Oh, what the heck.
Me: Hello
Voice: Is this Mr Wall.
Me : No.
Voice: Oh. Are there any Walls in your house.
Me: No
Voice : Then what's holding up the roof?
Me: Arrrr

DrGreg said:Q. What do you get when you cross a mountain-climber with a mosquito?
A. Nothing: you can't cross a scaler with a vector.
You need to know about mathematical vectors and scalars as well as epidemiological vectors.

At a computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated: “If GM had kept up with the technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25.00 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon.”
In response to Bill’s comments, General Motors issued a press release (by Mr. Welch himself) stating:
If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics:
1. For no reason at all, your car would crash twice a day.
2. Every time they repainted the lines on the road, you would have to buy a new car.
3. Occasionally, executing a manoeuver such as a left-turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, and you would have to reinstall the engine.
4. When your car died on the freeway for no reason, you would just accept this, restart and drive on.
5. Only one person at a time could use the car, unless you bought ‘Car95’ or ‘CarNT’, and then added more seats.
6. Apple would make a car powered by the sun, reliable, five times as fast, and twice as easy to drive, but would run on only five per cent of the roads.
7. Oil, water temperature and alternator warning lights would be replaced by a single ‘general car default’ warning light.
8. New seats would force every-one to have the same size butt.
9. The airbag would say ‘Are you sure?’ before going off.
10. Occasionally, for no reason, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key, and grabbed the radio antenna.
11. GM would require all car buyers to also purchase a deluxe set of road maps from Rand-McNally (a subsidiary of GM), even though they neither need them nor want them. Trying to delete this option would immediately cause the car’s performance to diminish by 50 per cent or more. Moreover, GM would become a target for investigation by the Justice Department.
12. Every time GM introduced a new model, car buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.
13. You would press the ‘start’ button to shut off the engine.

I lay in bed, pondering how wonderful nature is.
It was a clear, warm evening.
Beautiful weather, not a cloud in the sky.
I gazed up at the Milky Way, watching distant stars twinkle like diamonds.
Then, a thought came to me...
"HEY - WHERE THE HELL IS MY ROOF!??"

Heard on a UK radio station recently. Program was about russian humour and how it's changing...Group of people have been queuing for bread for hours.
Eventually one man announces he's fed up with queuing and is going off to kill Gorbachev.
"Good idea" say all the others, "we will keep your place for you in the queue".
Many hours pass and the queue hasn't moved.
Eventually they see the man returning and rush to congratulate him on killing Gorbachev.
"I'm sorry" he replies "I couldn't do it, the queue to kill Gorbachev was even longer".

Two scientists, one from Russia and one from the Czech Republic, had spent their whole lives studying the majestic grizzly bear. Each year they petitioned their respective governments to allow them to go to Yellowstone to study these wondrous creatures.
Finally, their request was granted and they immediately flew to New York and then on west to Yellowstone. They reported to the local ranger station and were told that it was the grizzly mating season and it was much too dangerous to go out and study the animals.
They pleaded that this was their only chance. Finally the ranger relented. The Russian and the Czech were given cell phones and told to report in each and every day.
For several days they called in, and then nothing was heard from the two scientists. The rangers mounted a search party and found the scientists' camp completely ravaged. No sign of the missing men.
The rangers then followed the trail of a male and a female bear. They found the female and decided they must kill the animal to find out if she had eaten the scientists because they feared an international incident.
They killed the female and cut open the bear's stomach, only to find the remains of the Russian.
One ranger turned to the other ! and said, "You know what this means, don't you?"
"Of course," the other ranger nodded. "The Czech is in the male.”

An old farmer goes to the theater one night. The ticket seller asks, "Sir, what's that on your shoulder?"
The old farmer replies, "That's my pet rooster Chucky. Wherever I go, Chucky goes."
"I'm sorry, sir," says the ticket seller. "We don't allow animals in the theater.
The old farmer goes around the corner and stuffs the bird down his pants. He returns to the booth,
buys a ticket and enters the theater. He sits down next to two old widows, Mildred and Marge.
The movie starts and the rooster begins to squirm. The old farmer unzips his pants so Chucky can
stick his head out and watch the movie.
"Marge," whispers Mildred.
"What?" Marge asks.
"I think the guy next to me is a pervert."
"What makes you think so?", Marge asks.
"He unzipped his pants and he has his thing out", whispers Mildred.
"Well, don't worry about it, " says Marge. "At our age we've seen 'em all."
"I thought so too," says Mildred, "but this one's eating my popcorn!"
