Before start your day let's have some happy laugh!
Afraid of the Dark
A doctor of
psychology was doing his normal morning rounds when he entered a patient's
room. He found Patient #1 sitting on the floor, pretending to saw a piece of
wood in half.
Patient #2
was hanging from the ceiling, by his feet.
The doctor
asked patient #1 what he was doing. The patient replied, "Can't you see
I'm sawing this piece of wood in half?"
The doctor
asked Patient #1 what Patient #2 was doing.
Patient #1
replied, "Oh. He's my friend, but he's a little crazy. He thinks he's a
light bulb."
The doctor
looked up and noticed Patient #2's face is all red.
The doctor
asks Patient #1, "If he's your friend, don't you think you should get him
down from there before he hurts himself"
Patient #1 replies,
"What? And work in the dark?
Super Technical Watch
Adrian is
struggling through a bus station with two huge and obviously heavy suitcases
when a stranger walks up to him and asks "Have you got the time?"
Adrian
sighs, puts down the suitcases and glances at his wrist.
"It's
a quarter to six," he says.
"Hey,
that's a pretty fancy watch!" exclaims the stranger.
Adrian
brightens a little. "Yeah, it's not bad.
Check this out,"
and he
shows him a time zone display not just for every time zone in the world, but
for the 86 largest cities in the world.
He hits a
few buttons and from somewhere on the watch a voice says
"The
time is eleven 'til six" in a very West Texas accent.
A few more
buttons and the same voice says something in Japanese.
Adrian
continues "I've put in regional accents for each city." The display
is unbelievably high quality and the voice is simply astounding.
The
stranger is struck dumb with admiration. "That's not all," says
Adrian.
He pushes a
few more buttons and a tiny but very hi-resolution map of New York City appears
on the display. "The flashing dot shows our location by satellite
positioning," explains Adrian.
"View recede ten," he says, and the display changes to show
eastern New York State.
"I
want to buy this watch!" says the stranger.
"Oh,
no, it's not ready for sale yet....I'm still working out the bugs," says
the inventor.
"But
look at this," and he proceeds to demonstrate that the watch is also a
very credible little FM radio receiver with a digital tuner, a sonar device
that can measure distances up to 125 meters, a pager with thermal paper print
out and, most impressive of all, the capacity for voice recordings
of up to
300 standard-size books, "Though I only have 32 of my favorites in there
so far," says the proud inventor.
"I've
got to have this watch!" says the stranger.
"No,
you don't understand... it's not ready."
"I'll
give you $1000 for it!"
"Oh,
no, I've already spent more than...."
"I'll
give you $5000 for it!"
"But
it's just not ...."
"I'll
give you $15,000 for it!" And the stranger pulls out a checkbook.
Adrian
stops to think. He's only put about
$8500 into materials and development and with $15,000 he can make another one
and have it ready for merchandising in only six months. The stranger frantically finishes writing the
check and waves it in front of him.
"Here
it is, ready to hand to you right here and now. $15,000. Take it or leave it."
Adrian
abruptly makes his decision.
"OK," he says, and peels off the watch. They make the exchange
and the stranger starts happily away.
"Hey,
wait a minute," Adrian points to the two huge suitcases he'd been trying
to wrestle through the bus station, "Don't forget your batteries."
hahahahaha....
Thanks for
reading and have a nice days all!
