Don't be a sissy

As far as I know it's not 1st April yet but that would definitely fit for the day:



I guess the people at google maps hat really fun when they created the special feature. If you enter two places - one in Europe, the other in the USA - the program tells you: "Swim across the Atlantic Ocean" (check step 12). Calculated time: 31 days. So don't be a sissy!

Note: It has been on the web almost everywhere so it might not be a real news.

Ahhhhh...

I just cancelled the voting!

Because I think Dana's entries are very very funny although a bit late.
Because some thought they were not allowed to vote (I guess I didn't explain it very well...).
Because someone is angry with me anyway...


By the way, I published all comments to the last Paper Boat Challenge now. So those who are still looking for the solution will find it there.

Paper Boat Challenge #3

As it is my first Monday at work, I thought the new challenge could be this:

Please send me the best joke, cartoon whatever about your profession (or course of studies etc.) until next week (12th March).

You can use the "comments" function or email (unbarcodepapel (at) arcor.de). If it's a cartoon or something similar and you found it on the internet, please only send the link.

I hope you have a lot of fun with it.


Here are the entries...

Morning!

I know I do not work in my "profession" yet - and don't know if I ever will when I look at these cartoons!

Have fun with them!

I have to defend my title, so I'm in! ;-) I tried to find one that not only computer geeks will laugh about, so here's my entry:

Jesus and Satan were having an ongoing argument about who was better on his computer. They had been going at it for days, and God was tired of hearing all the bickering. Finally, God said, "Cool it. I am going to set up a test which will take two hours and I will judge who does the better job."So Satan and Jesus sat down at the keyboards and typed away. They moused. They did spreadsheets. They wrote reports. They sent faxes. They sent e-mail. They sent out e-mail with attachments. They downloaded. They did some genealogy reports. They made cards. They did every known job. But, ten minutes before the time was up, lightning suddenly flashed across the sky, thunder rolled, the rain poured, and, of course, the electricity went off.Satan stared at his blank screen and screamed in every curse word known in the underworld. Jesus just sighed. The electricity finally flickered back on, and each of them restarted their computers. Satan started searching frantically screaming, "It's gone! It's all gone! I lost everything when the power went out!"Meanwhile, Jesus quietly started printing out all his files from the past two hours. Satan observed this and became even more irate. "Wait! He cheated! How did he do it??!!" God shrugged and said, "Jesus Saves.

I guess I won't win with this joke but it's definitely one I like very much.

The optimist says: "The glass is half full."
The pessimist says: "The glass is half empty."
What does the industrial engineer say?
- "The glass has twice the size it needs to have."

Competitor: Dana

A bit too late maybe...

But so that you know that at this time I'm still at work and thinking I
missed your deadline :-)

Here's some proof of my "profession" although, I think of myself as a PR
person rather than a lobbyist, but cartoons in this area are so much
funnier!

Take care,
Dana
