| Senior - BHPian | A young woman several months pregnant boarded a bus. She noticed a young man smiling at her she began feeling humiliated on account of her condition. She changed her seat and he seemed more amused. She moved again and then on her third move he burst out laughing.... ........ ....She had him arrested. When the case came before the court, the young man was asked why he acted in such a manner. His reply was: When the lady boarded the bus I couldn't help noticing she was pregnant. She first sat under an advertisement, which read: 'Coming Soon: The Gold Dust Twins'. I was even more amused when she changed her seat and went to sit under a shaving advertisement, which read: 'William's Stick Did The Trick'. Then I could not control myself any longer when on the third move she sat under an advertisement, which read: 'Dunlop Rubber would have prevented this accident.' The case was dismissed... .....!!! manson.

| BHPian | Bill Gates vs. GM Bill Gates wanted to look good and impress everyone with his success. He decided to measure the accomplishments of Microsoft against General Motors. The comparison went like this: If automotive technology had kept pace with computer technology over the past few decades, you would now be driving a V-32 instead of a V-8, and it would have a top speed of 10,000 miles per hour. Or you could have an economy car that weighs 30 pounds and gets a thousand miles to a gallon of gas. In either case the sticker price of a new car would be less than $50. In response to all this goading, GM responds: "Yes, but would you really want to drive a car that crashes twice a day? Don't take life too seriously, Nobody makes it out alive anyway Warning: I have an attitude and I know how to use it. Ford spelled backwards : Driver Returns On Foot Honda Acronym H igh O n N arcotics D uring A ssembly Some FUN Things To Do While Driving!! Have a friend ride in the back seat. Gagged. Let pedestrians know who's boss. Lob burning things in the windows of smokers who throw their butts out the window. Compliment other drivers on their skill and finesse Have conversations, looking periodically at the passenger seat, when driving alone. Vary your vehicle's speed inversely with the speed limit. if MICROSOFT built Cars, The Following Would Result: 1. Every time they repainted the lines on the road you would have to buy a new car. 2. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason, and you would just accept this, restart and drive on. 3. Occasionally, executing a maneuver would cause your car to stop and fail and you would have to re-install the engine. For some strange reason, you would accept this too. 4. You could only have one person in the car at a time, unless you bought "Car95" or "CarNT". But, then you would have to buy more seats. 5. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast, twice as easy to drive - but would only run on 5 percent of the roads. 6. The Macintosh car owners would get expensive Microsoft upgrades to their cars, which would make their cars run much slower. 7. The oil, gas and alternator warning lights would be replaced by a single "general car default" warning light. 8. New seats would force everyone to have the same size butt. 9. The airbag system would say "are you sure?" before going off. 10. If you were involved in a crash, you would have no idea what happened.

| The best contraceptive is a glass of cold water: not before or after, but instead The difference between light and hard is that you can sleep with a light on. Sex relieves tension - love causes it. Men wake up aroused in the morning. We can't help it. We just wake up and we want you. And the women are thinking, "How can he want me the way I look in the morning?" It's because we can't see you. We have no blood anywhere near our optic nerve. If you use the electric vibrator near water, you will come and go at the same time. Desire is in men a hunger, in women only an appetite. "Losing my virginity was a career move." (Madonna) "I chased a girl for two years only to discover that her tastes were exactly like mine: We were both crazy about girls." A girl's legs are her best friends, but the best of friends must part. Last edited by kooldude : 1st October 2006 at 20:52. |

| BHPian | These are ACTUAL statements from insurance forms where car drivers, who tried to summarize accident details in as few words as possible. Coming home I drove into the wrong house and collided with a tree I don't have. The other car collided with mine without giving warning of its intent. In my attempt to kill a fly, I drove into a telephone pole. As I approached the intersection a sign suddenly appeared in a place where no sign had ever appeared before, making me unable to avoid the accident. I saw a slow-moving, sad-faced gentleman as he bounced off the hood of my car. The indirect cause of the accident was a little guy in a small car with a big mouth. A pedestrian hit me and went under my car. I thought my window was down, but I found out it was up when I put my head through it. To avoid hitting the bumper of the car in front, I struck the pedestrian. The pedestrian had no idea which way to run, so I ran over him. Some Acronynms You CAN Use! Note from Mod Deleted as format error codes made it look like an alphabet soup. Please do not use MS word formats and paste in raw form then format using the forum facilities For More Of The Same Go To: http://www.carbuyingtips.com/humor.htm

any problem: Format the car, reinstall engine On a serious note, I really like those error messages in Windows, they are indeed more realistic and informative than the linux error messages, but you can do nothing about them, that is the frustration.

| BHPian | One of my friends had a great flair for writing. He used to say ..." I want to be such a great writer that people who read my writings should react to my work from the deapth of their heart, should jump in joy when I write that something worked, should feel the frustration when I write some thing has gone wrong, should feel the agony when I write about that something that hurts, should weep when they hear from me that they just lost something, should react in anger and throw the things around when I write somebody else outwitt them, thereby trigger every emotion in you with what I write" His dream came true, Now he authors error messages for Microsoft.

| BHPian | This is not really a joke but a true fact ...nevertheless funny My company was a small MNC when I joined and now it is a big one after aquisition. As a small company hardly there were binding processes, here are a few example of creativity of such a situation.... Once an engineer in our US office sent a review comments captured in a file called "SCUD.doc", there was an updated binary of that work when was sent in a file named "Agni.bin" There was only one engineer for VxWorks BSP development, he had his own version control mechanism, first image "h.bin" second update "ha.bin" third one "han.bin" . . . . Release image "hanuman.bin" He used to have debug codes which were named, "wasworkingyesterdaybutnotworkingtoday.bin" ![]()

| BHPian | One more real life incedent I can't stop laughing. We were on a jungle safari on those rattling busses in Nagarhole national park.. as usual we were disappointed as we did not see any tiger on that trip. I asked the driver of that bus "have you ever seen a tiger during such safari rides?" reply came " last month when forest minister had come to visit the park, we saw the tiger!"
