A veteran of WW II applied for a job at a bank. The impersonal interviewer continued to ask question after question, scribbling notes and never looking at the veteran.
"Most recent position?" asked tbe official.
"Supply officer", replied the applicant.
"Duration of employment?"
"Three and a half years."
"Reason for termination?"
The applicant stopped and thought for a moment, then answered, "We won."

How DRY Is It in Texas ??
A buddy out of Longview said he'd killed a mosquito that was carrying a canteen.
A man in Lubbock said the chicken farmers were giving the chickens crushed ice to keep them from laying hard-boiled eggs.
In Lake Palestine , they caught a 20 lb catfish that had ticks on it!
And just this week, in Bryan, a fire hydrant was seen bribing a dog.
It's so dry in Texas that the Baptists are starting to baptize by sprinkling, the Methodists are using wet-wipes, the Presbyterians are giving out rain-checks, and the Catholics are praying for the wine to turn back into water.
Now THAT's Dry
Oh man! That is so true!

All good 'uns! Thanks, folks!

Reading through this, I was wondering where the humor was - then I got to the punch line!

I didn't pickup on that 'til the end. I thought that was a bonified warning on scam artists and wondered what it was doing on this topic!
You have to remember - I'm going to be 66 in September!

In my junior year in college, I had an ex-wrestler teaching my course in advanced calculus. This guy was so intimidating that no one dared to ask a question in fear of being chastised for needing to ask. He would put a formula on the chalkboard and write another formula below it, skipping six steps or so, and saying that it was obvious that the first led
to the second. Needless to say, I made a D in that course and had to take it over. Fortunately, he didn't teach it the next year.

Sorry(ot) -
Would you believe that I majored in math and minored in physics when I was in college?.
I wound up working for a newspaper where this material helped me out quite often, but I've forgotten most of the higher stuff.

Obama fan?
A teacher in Elmira, New York asked her 6th grade class how many of them were Obama fans. Not really knowing what an Obama fan was but wanting to be liked by the teacher, all the kids raised their hands except for Johnny.
The teacher asked Johnny why he had decided to be different..
Little Johnny said, "Because I'm not an Obama fan."
The teacher said, "Why aren't you an Obama fan?'
Johnny said, "Because I'm a Republican."
The teacher asked him why he was a Republican.
Johnny answered, "Well, my mom's a Republican and my dad's a Republican, so that makes me a Republican".
The teacher asked, "If your Mom was a moron and your dad was an idiot, what would that make you?"
With a big smile, Johnny replied, "That would make me an Obama fan" .
I liked that one a LOT!!!

I read a short story by Issac Asimov years ago where he invisioned a distant future where everything was calculated by computers, even simple addition and subtraction. Some scientists feared a breakdown of the machines and one came up with the idea of putting marks on paper with a scribe of some sort (read pencil) and figuring calculations from that!!!! LOL:teeth_smile:
