GULPER JOKES - VOL. 1
GULPER JOKES - INPUT |
Our yuppy traveller following the road coming north out of Nairobi
arrives at just another tourist setup.
The souvenier stands selling tickets for the area don't seem to bother him as he seems to
have found what he's looking for: the official sign saying you have reached the Equator.
While being photographed and checking his handheld GPS-device (a wireless radio
transmitter connected to a few of the satellites of the Global Positioning System) he
suddenly gets angry as the gadget accurately calculates that the Equator is actually a
mile up the road!
Using his satellite coordinates as a proof, the yuppy complains about the error to the
leader of the local community, who replies 'Yes we know the place you mean but parking up
there is practically impossible!'.
--- Now the furious yuppy demands his money back. The head of the small village calmly
explains that for military defense purposes, there's an inbuilt error mechanism in all GPS
navigators in both latitude and longitude. Thus the high tech satellite systems cannot be
trusted any better than the local people.

"A little boy pulls a policeman to a stand with photos
of wanted criminals and asks:
- Are you guys looking for these people?
- Yes, - answers the policeman.
- Why didn't you get them when you were taking the photos?"
COME BACK: If you really laugh at this joke, you wouldn't
make a good lawyer - the police didn't have enough evidence
when they were taking the photos.

The yuppie comes back from a holiday and proudly displays the thousand dollar price tag of
his new designer tie.
His friend bursts out laughing: 'You idiot - you could have got it from here for twice the
price!'
(At this point everyone is expected to laugh at how price determines value - how the only
added value is price.)
Then the yuppie says: 'Yes, but the local labels are genuine and the price tags are for
real too - only a fool would buy it from here!'

A birth day card on occasion of birth day of one of our
colleague was being circulated in my lab and each one
was writing routine best wishes.Being very new to UK,
I was not much aware of my supervisor. So, I forwarded the card
to him. He wrote these complements `` Now, I am sure you
were not conceived in a test tube."
