A young engineer

Posted by admin Under Office Jokes on Wednesday Apr 16, 2008

A young engineer was leaving the office at 6:00 pm
when he found the CEO standing in front of a shredder
with a piece of paper in his hand.

“Listen,” said the CEO, “This is important, and my
secretary has left. Can you make this thing work?”

“Certainly,” said the young engineer. He turned the
machine on, inserted the paper, and pressed the start button.

“Excellent, excellent!” said the CEO as his paper disappeared inside the
machine. “I just need one copy.”

The heaviest element

Posted by admin Under Office Jokes on Wednesday Apr 16, 2008

The heaviest element known to science was recently discovered by physicists at
Yale’s Research Center. The element, tentatively named administratium, has no
protons or electrons and thus has an atomic number of 0. However, it does have
one neutron, 125 assistant neutrons 75 vice- neutrons and 11 assistant
vice-neutrons. This gives it an atomic mass of 312. These 312 particles are held
together in a nucleus by a force that involves the continuous exchange of
meson-like particles called morons.

Since it has no electrons, administratium is inert. However, it can be
detected chemically as it impedes every reaction it comes in contact with.
According to the discoverers, a minute amount of administratium caused a
reaction to take over four days to complete, when it would normally occur in
less than one second.

Administratium has a normal life of approximately three years, at which time
it does not actually decay but, instead, undergoes reorganization in which
assistant neutrons, vice-neutrons and assistant vice-neutrons exchange places.
Some studies have shown that the atomic weight usually increases after each
reorganization.

Research at other laboratories indicates that administratium
occurs naturally in the atmosphere. It tends to concentrate at certain points
such as government agencies, large corporations, universities and hospitals and
can actually be found in the newest, best maintained buildings.

Scientists point out that administratium is known to be toxic at any level of
concentration and can easily destroy any productive reactions where it is
allowed to accumulate. Attempts are being made to determine how administratium
can be controlled to prevent irreversible damage, but results to date are not
promising.

Lose our jobs

Posted by admin Under Office Jokes on Wednesday Apr 16, 2008

One day, a mime is visiting the zoo and attempts to earn some money as a
street performer. As soon as he starts to draw a crowd, the zoo keeper grabs him
and drags him into his office.
The zoo keeper explains to the mime that the zoo’s most
popular attraction, a gorilla, died suddenly and the
keeper fears that attendance at the zoo will fall off.
He offers the mime a job to dress up as the gorilla until they can get another
one. The mime accepts the offer.
So, the next morning, before the crowd arrives, the mime puts on the gorilla
suit and enters the cage. He
discovers that it’s a great job. He can sleep all he wants, play and make fun
of people, and he draws larger crowds than he ever did as a mime on the street.
However, eventually the crowd tires of him, and he tires of just swinging on
auto tires. He notices that the people are paying more attention to the lion in
the next cage. Not wanting to lose the attention of his audience, he climbs to
the top of his cage, crawls across a partition, and dangles from the top of the
lion’s cage.
Of course, this makes the lion furious, but the crowd
loves it. At the end of the day the zoo keeper comes and gives the mime a
raise for being such a good attraction.
Well, this goes on for some time, the mime keeps
taunting the lion, the crowd grows larger, and his
salary keeps going up.
Then, one day, when he is dangling over the top of the
lion’s cage, he slips and falls. The mime is terrified.
The lion raises himself up and prepares to pounce. The
mime is so scared that he begins to run around the cage
with the lion in hot pursuit.
Finally, the mime starts screaming, “Help! Help me!”
The lion is quick and pounces. The mime soon finds him flat on his back
looking up at the angry lion. The lion says, “Shut up, you idiot, or we’ll both
lose our jobs!”

My daughter

Posted by admin Under Office Jokes on Wednesday Apr 16, 2008

My daughter called me at work to say I received a call from “Josh” at the bank
regarding my account. So, I called my bank and the operator asked me what Josh’s
last name was and I explained that he hadn’t left his last name.

When she asked for his department, I said that I didn’t know.

“There are 1500 employees in this building, ma’am,” she told me rather
sharply.

So I asked her for her name.

“Danielle,” she said.

“And your last name?” I asked.

“Sorry,” she replied, “we’re not allowed to give last names.”

I will correct it in two weeks

Posted by admin Under Office Jokes on Wednesday Apr 16, 2008

Over the past several months, my company has shorted my paychecks several
times, anywhere from $75 to $300. Each time this has happened, the payroll
department made me wait two weeks before they corrected the error.

Last payday the situation reversed. Everyone with direct deposit was paid
twice. I quickly withdrew every dollar from my bank account before the mistake
could be corrected. When payroll called about the mistake, I grinned from ear to
ear. I said, “Yes, I noticed the mistake. I will correct it in two weeks.”

Picabo Street

The famous female Olympic skier Picabo Street (Peek-A-Boo) is not just an
athlete, she is a nurse. She currently works at the Intensive Care Unit of a
large metropolitan hospital.

She is not permitted to answer the telephone, however, as it caused simply too
much confusion when she would answer the phone and say, “Picabo,ICU.”

A shepherd

Posted by admin Under Office Jokes on Wednesday Apr 16, 2008

A shepherd was herding his flock in a remote pasture when suddenly a brand-new
BMW advanced out of the dust cloud towards him. The driver, a young man in a
Broni suit, Gucci shoes, Ray Ban sunglasses and YSL tie, leaned out the window
and asked the shepherd, “If I tell you exactly how many sheep you have in your
flock, will you give me one?”

The shepherd looked at the man, obviously a yuppie, then looked at his
peacefully-grazing flock and calmly answered, “Sure.”

The yuppie parked his car, whipped out his IBM ThinkPad and connected it to a
cell phone, then he surfed to a NASA page on the internet where he called up a
GPS satellite navigation system, scanned the area, and then opened up a database
and an Excel spreadsheet with complex formulas. He sent an email on his
Blackberry and, after a few minutes, received a response. Finally, he prints out
a 130 page report on his miniaturized printer then turns to the shepherd and
says,”You have exactly 1586 sheep”.

“That is correct; take one of the sheep” said the shepherd.

He watches the young man select one of the animals and bundle it into his
car.

Then the shepherd says: “If I can tell you exactly what your business
is, will you give me back my animal?”

“OK, why not” answered the young man.

“Clearly, you are a consultant” said the shepherd.

“That’s correct” says the yuppie, “but how did you guess that?”

“No guessing required” answers the shepherd. “You turned up here although
nobody called you. You want to get paid for an answer I already knew, to a
question I never asked, and you don’t know crap about my business…. Now give
me back my dog”.
