There once was a captain of a ship, and everyday at a certain time he would lock himself up in his cabin and look inside a mysterious black box. He did this everyday, but he told nobody what was inside the box. Then one day he died, and in his testament he gave the crew permission to open the box. So they opened the black box. And what they found was a piece of paper:
''Starboard is right, port is left.''

Some sports team names inspire fear, like the Detroit Tigers. Others inspire head scratching, like the Chicago White Sox--their socks are white, so what? Suggested names for future teams around the globe:
Czech Republic: The Prague Tologists
Taiwan: The Taipei Personalities
India: The Delhi Contestants
Bolivia: The Bolivia de Havillands
(From Reader's Digest. I guess somebody went to the library after lunch. )

I'd Like A Coke Please
I've always ordered beverages one simple way: "A Coke, please."
Lately, though, this hasn't seemed to work. Waitresses now often respond, "I'm sorry, we don't have Coke. We have Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Dr. Pepper, Mr. Pibb."
Tired of listening to the long list of soft drinks, I thought I'd make life easier. So one day I simply asked the snack bar clerk at a movie theater for a "dark, carbonated beverage."
The young man behind the counter chuckled and asked, "Sir, would you like a cylindrical plastic sucking device with that?"

Lawyers are leaving their mark everywhere. Today at the aquarium there was a sign that said "Alleged Killer Whale".
(I dunno; I don't see the porpoise in that.)

Two dogs were out for a walk. One dog says to the other, "Wait here a minute. I'll be right back." He walks across the street and sniffs a fire hydrant for about a minute, then rejoins his friend.
"What was that all about?" the other dog asks.
"Just checking my messages."
(Smell O gram?)

It was a really hot day. The drunk decided that maybe he should lay off the alcohol, so he went to a vending machine to buy a soda. He put some change in and a can came out. The drunk popped a few more coins into the slot and another can rolled down. Excited, he continued to feed the machine.
Pretty soon, a line formed behind him. Finally, a woman yelled, "Hurry Up! We're all hot and thirsty."
"No way," he said. "I'm still winning."

In China, KFC's slogan, "Finger Lickin' Good," translates into a less than appetizing, "Eat your fingers off."
The Scandinavian electronics company Electrolux tried to sell its vacuum cleaner here in the United States by telling Americans, "Nothing sucks like an Electrolux."
Then there's Chevrolet trying to sell their Novas in Mexico.
In Spanish "Nova" means something like "It don't go".

Rules to live by......(1/2)
* Indecision is the key to flexibility. [Procrastinate NOW!]
* You can't tell which way the train went by looking at the track. [Choo]
* There is absolutely no substitute for a genuine lack of preparation. [RTFM?]
* Happiness is merely the remission of pain. [!hcuo]
* Nostalgia isn't what it used to be. [And neither is deja vu!]
* Sometimes too much to drink is not enough. [Burp!]
* The facts, although interesting, are irrelevant.
* Someone who thinks logically is a nice contrast to the real world. [And isn't in corporate management]
* Things are more like they are today than they ever were before. [Deja vu, again?]
* Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler.
* Friends may come and go, but enemies accumulate. [Just ask any superhero!]
* I have seen the truth and it makes no sense. [Quantum mechanics?]
* If you think there is good in everybody, you haven't met everybody.

Rules to live by......(2/2)
* All things being equal, fat people use more soap. [But are things ever equal?]
* If you can smile when things go wrong, you have someone in mind to blame. [Baaa!]
* One seventh of your life is spent on Monday. [Dang!]
* By the time you make ends meet, they move the ends. [But the check is in the mail?]
* There is always one more imbecile than you counted on. [Stupid is as stupid does?]
* This is as bad as it can get, but don't count on it.
* Never wrestle a pig. You both get dirty and the pig likes it. [Oink!]
* The trouble with life is, you're halfway through it before you realize it's a do-it-yourself thing.
* No amount of advance planning will ever replace dumb luck.
* Anything you do can get you fired; this includes doing nothing. [Or web surfing?]
* Money can't buy happiness; it can, however, rent it.
* Never pass a snow plow on the right. [Also, don't eat yellow snow]
* Eschew unnecessary redundant obfuscation.
