We need some Humor!!!

I don't recall seeing (hearing) any musical humor in this forum. For those who are starving for it, listen to Cat's Duet by Rossini.

Nuff' said!   Devilish2.gif

Another Ann Murray?! Not the (Morna) Ann Murray I wished had been the-girl-next-door to me! blush-anim-cl.gif Still have her LP's upstairs... She may not have sung like those two "cats", but she could sing to me anytime! clap.gif For those too young to have ever heard of her, she is the anti-"Lady" Gaga. rolleyes.gif Not "classical" but certainly a classic! thumbup.gif

Even though TS frowns upon political comments, i can't resist this one. It applies to whatever your political persuasion happens to be:

 ELECTILE  DYSFUNCTION:   the inability to become  aroused  over any of the choices for President put forth  by  either party in the 2016 election year.

For some more musical humor, go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m69aPAo1rXE for Anna Russell's "scholarly analysis" of Wagner's Ring Cycle. It's so funny because it's dead accurate.

An engineer dies and goes to Hell. Dissatisfied with the level of comfort, he starts designing and building improvements. After a while, Hell has air conditioning, flush toilets and escalators.  The engineer is a pretty popular guy.
   
One day God calls and asks Satan, "So, how's it going down there?" Satan says, "Hey things are going great. We've got air conditioning and flush toilets and escalators, and there's no telling what this engineer is going to come up with next."
   
God is horrified. "What? You've got an engineer? That's a mistake - he should never have gone down there! You know all engineers go to Heaven. Send him up here! " Satan says, "No way. I like having an engineer on the staff. I'm keeping him." God says, "Send him back up here or I'll sue."
   
"Yeah, right," Satan laughs, "and where are you going to get a lawyer?"

Even though I have a fairly simple CAPTCHA field on my Scam site <Contact page>, I do get messages from probably 'third world countries'. I can't decide if the following is a result of the "Nigerian School of Technology Abuse, Department of Writing" or their Programming section. laughhard.gif

It appears that they are stressing the efficient use of punctuation. Or they just place all the sentence ending periods at the end! tease.gif

I think this is the fourth 'message' from "princejake". Unfortunately, he is not showing much improvement with his vocabulary or sentence structure. I would give him a solid B for perseverance, however. wink.gif I believe we should always praise in public and reprimand in private. Devilish2.gif

My grade in a 5 hr Calculus class would have allowed me to maintain a 1.0 GPA that semester!! I didn't impress anyone in those other classes, either! rolleyes.gif

My gosh, Krissel . . . Isn't it time to give that thing last rites? biggrin.gif


Noooo! wink2.gif

 I have a hard time giving up on an old friend. I only recycled my 9600 just last year. It ran 10.3.9 really well. smile.gif

This DA still runs fine and it has a ton of programs that won't work on my other Macs since Rosetta was dropped. I did upgrade this machine about 10 years ago with the latest innards at the time. Can't believe the two hard drives (500G and 300G) are still going. Yes, I've backed up. Actually I'm only using this old baby while I work on my house getting it ready to sell. My newer Macs are at the other place. Still, the only real complaint is not having a really good browser, Ten4Fox isn't cutting it anymore. rolleyes.gif

I'm running 10.5.8 which is as high as the PPC Macs can go. Ten4Fox is a special browser which is "equivalent" to Firefox. It was created for users of Tiger and Leopard on PPC machines. Present versions of regular Firefox will not run on PPCs.

Up until last August Ten4Fox was doing great and was able to run many of the add-ons that Firefox allows. But something changed and now it beachballs on many sites and gets hung up even while starting. I've resorted to using Stainless a lot which functions but is bare bones.

No, you're probably thinking of our "Wee Knead Mour Humour" thread. This is a thread about ancient history and strange apps that used to inhabit computing devices back in the late '80's.

To get back on track (and supply a groaner to my "legions" of fans):

Benny Hill, the famous comedian, got married. He and his bride decided to tour Transylvania on their honeymoon. As they were driving, a storm came up and they crashed into a ditch. Igor, the hunchback, found them and took them to a forbidding-looking castle where Dr. Frankenstein had his busy practice. The good doctor attempted to revive them, but to no avail. Extremely distressed, he tried to console himself by playing the organ. The sounds of the organ drifted into the examination room and Igor saw, with great joy, that Mr. and Mrs. Hill had regained consciousness!

Beside himself with excitement, he ran up to the doctor and excitedly exclaimed, "The Hills are alive with the sound of music!"

Jon is not British, either, so I'm not sure how we explain his strange sense of "humor". His reliance on Puns made it necessary to find a specific smiley. Groaner.gif It's been used so often, some of its colors are starting to fade! Too much friction in those interweb tubes, I guess. dntknw.gif

Obviously, Jim protesteth too much. Here's one more to feed his masochism appetite:

A graduate student in ichthyology was studying electric eels. He went to capture one, but it turned out to be like no electric eel that he had ever seen. He went to his advisor, who looked at the fish and told him that he was going about his studies in an incorrect manner. The advisor said, "In order to complete your project, you must combine ichthyology and astronomy. You cannot catch electric eels during the full moon." (Now that you have read this far, brace yourself...)

"When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's a moray."
