OT -> joke

Works equally well with software consultants.

Charles of Kankakee, who used to be one.

A man who did not behave too well in his life comes to Hell. But since his sins were only light, he was given the choice of the department where he would remain for eternity and so he was given a full tour of the establishment. First he arrived at a station, where 3000 people were just being burnt alive. It was horrendous, not to speak of the screams, the smell etc, so he said "no, thank you, let me see the next station". Here, about 10,000 people were being torn into shreds and crushed under the tracks of bulldozers. Terrible. He said, "no, thank you, let me see the next station". In the same fashion, he went past several more sections where thousands of people were impaled, boiled, bathed in acid, etc. Nothing would be to his taste until he arrived in front of a huge hall, maybe half a mile across, and in the middle of it, there was a gigantic heap of shit. On top of the heap, there were about 1000 guys sitting in a circle and having tea. A few hundred red devils were watching. The guy thought, " hi, that looks better, I guess I could get used to this place". At that moment, the chief devil clapped in his hands and shouted "tea time's over folks , all heads under again!".

God!...this thing needs a suspenceful buildup then a funny punchline...

I LOVE it!

Natalie, snipping and stealing

I've heard that one, but it's a classic

Natalie

That joke's great - it's old, but it's great, you philistine

Natalie

You ARE kidding, right?...

Might not be exactly appropriate for Toyota - more for GMs, but let's face it - we get scalped by mechanics (Not all, but many)

Natalie

Ok...perhaps I'm humour impaired then, just didn't sound funny to me...maybe it's an off day here... :)

Is that better?

;-)

Natalie

Shaving cream or real custard?

Um...Gillette...

I remember

Natalie, old broad

I got burned financially on that one once - was invited to an informal birthday party with a bunch of newsgroup/chat room friends, and there was a 'pie in the face' running gag going around at the time.

I very seriously asked what I should bring, and the serious sounding response said "bring a pie" but didn't specify what kind - So I went and got a premium Marie Callendar fresh-baked Banana Cream Pie. An "eatin' pie" that I took great pains to get it there in a big ice chest properly cold and in one piece...

... the pie that proceeded to get splutted in Michelle's face and then splattered all over the patio at the Neon Cactus. 8-0

I could have bought a pre-baked graham cracker crust and a can of whipped cream and been about $15 ahead. That, or brought both and we could have 'rescued' the real pie for dessert/ the "birthday pie" as originally intended.

Hey, that makes me an OOF. . . . Official Old Fart.

I prefer pumpkin pie for my birthday over cake.

Oh man - what a drag

Just don't fart here - it's a small NG

Ewwww - sweet potato pie, you philistine

Natalie

Didn't know I was a Philistine. Thought I was more of a cretin? Can't stand sweet potato pie. I didn't live in the South quite long enough for that, though I did live long enough to prefer sweet tea over regular tea. (If it doesn't rot your teeth out, it's not sweet enough.)
