Re: Pdurrant's adding of the derivation.

Many thanks Paul. Can we assume that you will be adding a derivation for every joke posted in this thread from now on?
Only those for which I know the provenance.

I for one appreciated having the source supplied. It enabled me to go and see more jokes that I (and friends) got quite a few laughs from.

No problem with providing sources.

I do have a problem with moderators editing my posts. Moderators should only amend posts where there is something wrong with that post which needs urgently changing\deleting. Adding a piece of information to my post does not, in my opinion, fall into that category.

Bilbo1967 is right. I was wrong. I should not have edited his post, and I will not edit his or anyone else's post in future unless I need to do so for a proper moderatorial reason.

I do apologise to Bilbo1967 for my error in judgement.

An engineer dies and reports to the Pearly Gates. Saint Peter checks his dossier and, not seeing his name there, accidentally sends him to Hell. It doesn’t take long before the engineer becomes rather dissatisfied with the level of comfort in Hell. He soon begins to design and build improvements. Shortly thereafter, Hell has air conditioning, flush toilets and escalators. Needless to say, the engineer is a pretty popular guy.

One day, God calls Satan and says with a sneer: So, how are things in Hell?
Satan replies: Hey, things are going great. We’ve got air conditioning, flush toilets, and escalators. And there’s no telling what this engineer is going to come up with next.

What! God exclaims: You’ve got an engineer? That’s a mistake, he should never have been sent to Hell. Send him to me.

Not a chance, Satan replies: I like having an engineer on the staff, and I’m keeping him!

God insists: Send him back or I’ll sue!

Satan laughs uproariously and answers:
Yeah, right. And where are you going to get a lawyer?

Not so much jokes, as a couple of interesting/amazing anagrams:

"To be or not to be: that is the question, whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune."

Becomes:

"In one of the Bard's best-thought-of tragedies, our insistent hero, Hamlet, queries on two fronts about how life turns rotten."

And...

"That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind." -- Neil A. Armstrong

Becomes:

"A thin man ran; makes a large stride; left planet, pins flag on moon. On to Mars!"

Is that along the lines: I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken.

On this the anniversary of my natal day, I propose the truth:

Anybody, at work:
"You're RIGHT!"

Me:
"I know. It's a burden."

No, really. You don't know how hard it is, always being right.

And now for a joke.

"147"

Yup. "Thread Tools" up at the top. No, not the _very_ top. A little bit under that!
