| The story goes that during the heat of the space race in the 1960's, NASA decided it needed a ballpoint pen that would write in the zero gravity of space.
After considerable research and development, the Astronaut Pen was developed at a cost of a million dollars. The pen worked and also enjoyed some modest success as a novelty item back here on Earth. The Soviet Union, faced with the same problem, used a pencil. |
| There was a farmer who raised watermelons. He was doing pretty well financially, but one summer he was disturbed by some local kids who would sneak into his watermelon patch at night and help themselves to his watermelons. After obsessing on it for a couple of weeks, he came up with a clever idea that he thought would solve the problem for sure. So he made up a sign and posted it in the field. The next night the kids showed up to steal some watermelons, and they saw a sign that read: "Warning: One of these watermelons has been injected with cyanide."
The next morning the farmer couldn't wait to see how his plan had worked. He showed up at the watermelon field and looked around carefully, but couldn't find any signs of stolen or damaged watermelons. Then he noticed a new sign, next to the one he had posted. This one read: "Now there are two." |
| A British pilot is shot down over Germany in WW2. He is brought to a hospital and is hurt bad enough where they had to amputate his leg. He asks the Germans if they wouldn't mind if the next time they raided London, if they wouldn't mind dropping his leg over British soil. The germans agreed.
A week later the pilot's arm gets infected and must be amputated also. Again he asks the Germans to drop his arm over british soil, and again they agree. A few days later he gets another infection in his other leg, and it gets amputated as well. He immediately asks the Germans if they wouldn't mind dropping it over British soil. The But the Germans refuse. When he asks them why, they reply, "We think you are trying to escape!" |
