George's Physical
80-year-old George went for his annual physical. All of his tests
came back with normal results. Dr. Smith said, "George, everything
looks great physically. How are you doing mentally and emotionally?
Areyou at peace with yourself, and do you have a good relationship with
your God?"
George replied, "God and me are tight. He knows I have poor eyesight,
so he's fixed it so that when I get up in the middle of the night to
go to the bathroom (poof!) the light goes on when I pee, and then
(poof!)
the light goes off when I'm done."
"Wow," commented Dr. Smith, "that's incredible!"
A little later in the day Dr. Smith called George's wife. "Thelma," he
said, "George is just fine. Physically he's great. But I had to
call because I'm in awe of his relationship with God. Is it true that
he gets up during the night and (poof!) the light goes on in the
bathroom, and then (poof!) the light goes off?"
Thelma exclaimed, "That old fool! He's peeing in the refrigerator
again!"

Why No Work Gets Done
The population of this country is 237 million.
104 million are retired. That leaves 133 million to do the work.
There are 85 million in school, which leaves 48 million to do the work.
Of these there are 29 million employed by the federal government,
leaving 19 million to do the work.
2.8 million are in the Armed Forces, which leaves 16.2 million to do the
work.
Take from the total the 14,800,000 people who work for the State and
City Governments and that leaves 1.4 million to do the work.
At any given time there are 188,000 people in hospitals, leaving
1,212,000 to do the work.
Now there are 1,211,998 people in prisons, thhat leaves just two people
to do the work, You and me.
And you're sitting at your computer reading jokes.

World Leaders
It is time to elect the world leader, and your vote counts. Here's
some facts about the three leading candidates.
Candidate A -- Associates with crooked politicians, and consults with
astrologists. He's had two mistresses. He also chain smokes and
drinks 8 to 10 martinis a day.
Candidate B -- He was kicked out of office twice, sleeps until noon,
used opium in college and drinks a quart of whiskey every evening.
Candidate C -- He is a decorated war hero. He's a vegetarian, doesn't
smoke, drinks an occasional beer and hasn't had any extra-marital
affairs.
Which of these candidates would be your choice??
Candidate A is Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR).
Candidate B is Winston Churchill.
Candidate C is Adolph Hitler.

The Darksucker Theory
For years the electrical utility companies
have led the public to believe they were in
business to supply electricity to the consumer,
a service for which they charge a substantial
rate. The recent accidental acquisition of
secret records from a well known power
company has led to a massive research
campaign which positively explodes several
myths and exposes the massive hoax which
has been perpetrated upon the public by the
power companies. The most common hoax
promoted the false concept that light bulbs
light. In actuality, these "light" bulbs absorb
DARK which is then transported back to the
power generation stations via wire networks.
A more descriptive name has now been
coined: the new scientific name for the device
is DARKSUCKER.
This newsletter introduces a brief synopsis
of the darksucker theory, which proves the
existence of dark and establishes the fact that
dark has great mass, and further, that dark
particle (the anti-photon) is the fastest know
particle in the universe. Apparently, even the
celebrated Dr. Albert Einstein did not suspect
the truth, that just as COLD is the absence of
HEAT, LIGHT is actually the ABSENCE of
DARK. Scientist have now proven that light
does not really exist!
The basis of the darksucker theory is that
electric light bulbs suck dark. Take for
example, the darksuckers in the room where
you are right now. There is much less dark
right next to the darksuckers than there is
elsewhere, demonstrating their limited range.
The larger the darksucker, the greater its
capacity to suck dark. Darksuckers in a
parking lot or on a football field have a much
greater capacity than the ones in used in the
home, for example.
It may come as a surprise to learn that
darksuckers also operate on the celestial
scale: witness the sun. Our sun makes use of
dense dark, sucking it in from all the planets
and intervening dark space. Naturally, the sun
is better able to suck dark from the planets
which are situated closer to it, thus explaining
why those planets appear brighter than do
those which are far distant from the sun.
Occasionally, the sun actually over sucks:
under those conditions, dark spots appear on
the surface of the sun. Scientists have long
studied these "sunspots" and are only recently
beginning to realize that the dark spots
represent leaks of high pressure dark because
the sun has over sucked dark to such an
extent that some dark actually leaks back into
space. This leakage of high pressure dark
frequently causes problems with radio
communications here on Earth due to
collisions between the dark particles as the
stream out into space at high velocity via the
black holes in the surface of the sun.
As with all man-made devices,
darksuckers have a finite lifetime caused by
the fact that they are not 100% efficient at
transmitting collected dark back to the Power
Company via the wires. Once they are full of
accumulated dark, they can no longer suck.
This condition can be observed by looking
for the black spot on a full darksucker when
it has reached maximum capacity of
untransmitted dark. You have surely noticed
that dark completely surrounds a full
darksucker because it no longer has the
capacity to suck any dark.
A candle is a primitive darksucker. A new
candle has a white wick. You will notice that
after the first use the wick turns black,
representing all the dark, which has been
sucked into it. If you hold a pencil next to the
wick of an operating candle, the tip will turn
black because it got in the way of the dark
flowing into the candle. It is of no use to plug
a candle into an electrical outlet, for it can
only collect dark. It has no transmission
capabilities, Unfortunately, these primitive
darksuckers have a very limited range and
are hazardous to operate cause of the intense
heat produced.
There are also portable darksuckers
called flashlights. The bulbs in these devices
collect dark, which is passed to a dark
storage unit called a battery. When the dark
storage unit is full, it must be either emptied (a
process called "recharging") or replaced
before the portable darksucker can continue
to operate. If you break open a battery, you
will find dense black dark inside, evidence
that it is actually a compact dark storage unit.

How Mil-specs Live Forever
The US standard railroad gauge (the distance between the rails) is 4
feet,8.5 inches. That's an exceedingly odd number. Why was that gauge used?
Because that's the way they built them in England, and the US railroads
were built by English expatriates.
Why did the English people build them like that?
Because the first rail lines were built by the same people who built the
pre-railroad tramways, and that's the gauge they used. Why did *they* use that gauge?
Because the people who built the tramways used the same jigs and tools that
they used for building wagons, which used that wheel spacing.
Okay! Why did the wagons use that odd wheel spacing?
Well, if they tried to use any other spacing, the wagons would break wheels
and axles on some of the old long distance roads, because that's the
spacing of the old wheel ruts. So who built the old rutted roads that way?
The first long distance roads in Europe were built by Imperial Rome for the
benefit of their legions. The roads have been used ever since. And the ruts?
The initial ruts, which everyone else had to match for fear of destroying
their wagons, were first made by Roman war chariots. Since the chariots
were made for or by Imperial Rome, they were all alike in the matter of
wheel spacing. Thus, we have the answer to the original questions. The
United States standard railroad gauge of 4 feet, 8.5 inches derives from
the original specification (Military Spec) for an Imperial Roman war chariot.
Mil-specs and bureaucracies live forever.
So, the next time you are handed a specification and wonder what horse's
ass came up with it, you may be exactly right. Because the Imperial Roman
chariots were made to be just wide enough to accommodate the back ends of two war horses.
