humorous successful japan
The Japanese, implementing a complex, long-term, and ultimately successful strategy to dominate the U S consumer-electronics market, attacked Pearl Harbor.
sex humorous thinking
I'm not saying that women don't think about sex also. I'm saying that women are capable, for at least brief periods of time, of not thinking about sex, and that most guys are not.
new-york distance party
9 saw the first direct-dialed long-distance telephone call, between New York and San Francisco. Of course, back in that primitive era the parties had to speak to each other manually; today one or both ends of the conversation would be carried on by a machine.
humorous night people
What I like best about the telephone is that it keeps you in touch with people, particularly people who want to sell you magazine subscriptions in the middle of the night.
kings past years

funny jobs real
The central point of this final chapter is that - follow my logic carefully here - unless you die, you will continue to get older. (It's insights like this that separate the professional book author from the person with a real job.)

funny block moving
To people who make moving ads that block the view of websites: Not only will we not buy from you, but we want shrews to eat your liver.
funny technology people
The population of earth has reached 7 billion people, every single one of whom send you irritating emails to join something called "LinkedIn."
funny travel lines
Greyhound Bus Lines motto: "We Stop For Some Damn Thing Every 200 Yards."
funny travel europe
Be advised that there is no parking in Europe.
funny travel people
Dear Hotel People: We don't need a cheeseball clock-radio. WE NEED PLACES TO PLUG STUFF IN. Thank you.
funny travel san-francisco
San Francisco leads the world in the category of Most People On The Sidewalk Holding Conversations With Purely Imaginary Companions.
funny running travel
The Spanish government, having run completely out of money, secretly sold the Pyrenees to China, and is now separated from France only by traffic cones.
