HOW TO STOP CHURCH GOSSIP
 
Mildred, the church gossip, and self-appointed monitor of the church's morals, kept sticking her nose in to other people's business. Several members did not approve of her extra curricular activities, but feared her enough to maintain their silence.
 
She made a mistake, however, when she accused Frank, a new member, of being an alcoholic after she saw his old pickup parked in front of the town's only bar one afternoon. She emphatically told Frank (and several others) that everyone seeing it there would know what he was doing.
 
Frank, a man of few words, stared at her for a moment and just turned and walked away. He didn't explain, defend, or deny... he said nothing.
 
Later that evening, Frank quietly parked his pickup in front of Mildred's house...walked home...and left it there all night!!!
 
You gotta love Frank!

Subject:AN ENGINEERING MIS-CALCULATION

 

 


Problem: A backhoe weighing 8 tons is on top of a flatbed trailer heading east on Interstate 70 near Hays, Kansas   The extended shovel arm is made of hardened refined steel and the approaching overpass is made of commercial-grade concrete, reinforced with 1 1/2 inch steel rebar spaced at 6 inch intervals in a criss-cross pattern layered with 1 foot vertical spacing.

Solve:  When the shovel arm hits the overpass, how fast does the trailer with the backhoe have to be going to slice the bridge in half?  (Assume no headwind and no braking by the driver who is oblivious of the situation ...)

Extra Credit: Solve for the time and distance required for the entire rig to come to a complete stop after hitting the overpass at the speed calculated above .

Answer: Scroll down..........

Answer - It doesn't really matter...   The point is that the trucking company just bought themselves a bridge

FINALLY, SOMEONE HAS CLEARED THIS UP FOR ME....
 
For centuries, Hindu women have worn a spot on their foreheads. We have always naively thought that it had something to do with their Religion.
 
The Indian Embassy in Washington, D.C.  has recently revealed the true story.
 
When a Hindu woman gets married, she brings a dowry into the union. On her wedding night, the husband scratches off the spot to see whether he has won a convenience store, a gas station, a donut shop or a motel in the United States.
 
If not, he must take a job in India answering telephones giving technical advice
