View Full Version : I should probably get banned for this.....

But here it goes....




A couple lived near the ocean and used to walk the beach a lot.
One summer they noticed a girl who was at the beach pretty much every
day. She wasn't unusual, nor was the travel bag she carried, except for
one thing; she would approach people who were sitting on the beach,
glance around furtively, then speak to them.

Generally the people would respond negatively and she would wander off,
but occasionally someone would nod and there would be a quick
exchange of money and something she carried in her bag. The couple
assumed she was selling drugs, and debated calling the cops, but since
they didn't know for sure they just continued to watch her.

After a couple of weeks the wife said, "Honey, have you ever noticed that
she only goes up to people with boom boxes and other electronic
devices?" He hadn't, and said so. Then she said, "Tomorrow I want you to
get a towel and our big radio and go lie out on the beach. Then we can
find out what she's really doing."

Well, the plan went off without a hitch and the wife was almost hopping up
and down with anticipation when she saw the girl talk to her husband and
then leave. The man walked up the beach and met his wife at the road.
Well, Is she selling drugs?" she asked excitedly.

"No, she's not," he said, enjoying this probably more than he should have.

"Well, What is it, then? What does she do?" his wife fairly shrieked.

The man grinned and said, "She's a battery salesperson."

"Batteries?" cried the wife.

"Yes," he replied. "She sells C cells by the sea shore."

No we need Jack around to give us these jokes and puns. Keep them coming. I always enjoy it when you post them.

Oh my. But I like it, in a "I'm embarassed to admit this" type of way.

And with that disclaimer I thought you were going to propose marriage to Ed or something.

Think? I think he's been banned already. :twisted: Oh, all right... ;)

Anyway, I thought it was going to be another (http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=129064#129064) marriage (http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=135693#135693) proposal (http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=238900#238900) to Kati. :P

That isn't worth the server space it's stored on.

Yes. The space used could instead be used to store a program readme file. Those few kilobytes sure are necessary. Only joking. :)

After the build-up from your subject, I was expecting something a bit risque or off-color.

Too bad. ;)

Jack - you probably don't wear nail polish, but if you ever decide to...

Here's some suggestions:

http://www.opi.com/greek2.htm

There's others on the site mixed in that are good.

Personally, I'm wearing Oedipus Redipus right now. :P

(In case this is too vague - it's nail polish where the color names are all very punny.)

Haha. Actually I was expecting a big abusive post at everyone on this forum. Looks like I had high expectations. :lol:

I still think the best one was when we were at CeBIT. Ok, it wasn't a proposal, and it didn't involve me, but it was still funny. Kati, want to tell the story? :twisted:

Well, YOU noticed it more than I did. I must just be USED to it.

It was just some guy who was very focused on my...er... badge.

Oh, come on, that wasn't the funny part. The interaction was hilarious. We came across a booth that was selling power products (replacement batteries and the like). We introduced ourselves. The rep didn't take any notice of Suhit or myself, but Kati, being well-dressed and... well... having a name badge in the right place... he actually noticed she was listed as a Professor.

"YOU'RE a PROFESSOR!?"

She acknowledged the fact. (I bet Kati likes people saying that the first time. ;)) Anyway, he continued to show off his (rather mediocre) wares. We decided to leave. This is when he truly got pathetic. I'm paraphrasing now, but he essentially said "BUT WAIT... YOU'RE a PROFESSOR?" several times and it appeared as if he was desperately trying to pick her up. I fortunately managed to stifle laughter until a few booths down.

Moral? Kati picked the right field if she wants middle-aged guys who sell battery products. Jack, you wouldn't happen to sell batteries, do you? :mrgreen:

HA HA HA.

I was reading the above post on my axim on the lobby of my office building, and I was laughing histerically for 10-20 seconds. Duh. Now my peers must think that I am crazy.

And uh, whoever stole the emoticon icon for ROFL, kindly put it back where it belongs. I need it badly. :mrgreen:

So Kati, what was your answer to the question ? you are a professor ?

Janak Parekh
07-21-2004, 05:24 AM
:rotfl: is still there. Bottom-left emoticon. So is :rofl:.

So Kati, what was your answer to the question ? you are a professor ?
Well, it was on her nametag. Are you asking if she's a fraud? :razzing:

Technically? Assistant Professor (the rank profs usually start at).

Hahaha. No I don't sell batteries. And I promise I wouldn't "focus on her badge." LOL Just seems like a very intelligent woman I'd love to talk to about all kinds of subjects.

And no, I’m not hitting on her. The proposals are a joke. I know she’s married. I am too. Happily at that. I’m not some crazy internet stalker this thread makes me out to me. :p Really.

(But she does have a lovely house.)

HA! Don't worry - the proposals have always been received in the spirit in which they were given. ;)

... must remember to close my blinds at night...
