Narrow Escape Responses
There was an engineer, manager, and a programmer driving down a steep mountain road. The brakes failed and the car careened down the road out of control. Half way down the driver managed to stop the car by running it against the embankment narrowly avoiding careening off the cliff. They all got out, shaken by their narrow escape from death, but otherwise unharmed.
The manager said, “To fix this problem we need to organize a committee, have meetings, and through the process of exchanging ideas, develop a solution.”
The engineer said, “No that would take too long, besides that method never worked before. I have my trusty pen knife here and will take apart the brake system, isolate the problem and correct it.”
The programmer said, “I think your both wrong! I think we should all push the car back up the hill and see if it happens again.”
Dad’s on Computers
A guy was typing away at his home computer, when his six- year-old daughter sneaked up behind him.
Suddenly, she turned and ran into the kitchen, squealing to the rest of the family, “I know Daddy’s password! I know Daddy’s password!”
“What is it?” her sisters asked eagerly.
Proudly she replied, “Asterisk, asterisk, asterisk, asterisk, asterisk!”
Hawaii Pronunciation”
Morris and his wife Sherry were planning a vacation. They ended up in an argument.
“It’s pronounced ‘Hawaii’, I’m telling you!” Sherry said.
“I never KNEW someone so stubborn! ‘Havaii’ is how it’s pronounced!” he replied.
And so it went, all the way to the vacation. As they got off the airplane, they passed by a man. Morris abruptly stopped his wife and turned to the man to ask, “Now that we’re on the island, you can settle an argument between my wife and me. Is this ‘Hawaii’ or ‘Havaii?'”
“This is Havaii,” the man replied.
“Ha!” the husband gloated to his wife. “See, didn’t I tell you never to argue with me?”
As they began to walk away, Morris turned back and gave the man a hearty “Thank you!”
“You’re velcome!” he called back.”
