Thread: Jokes

This probably shouldn't be in the jokes section. It actually happens like this. Well you have to laugh or you would cry at the wasted dollars.


Defence Purchasing and Procurement Process explained.

This has to be the best explanation of this process I have ever seen. I'm sure there are some here who will appreciate this logic!!

Enjoy

So, Defence wants to buy a dog for 50 bucks.

DMO says no, not when we can buy a cat for 30.

DMO goes ahead and purchases a cat.

After years of field trials, it is decided that the cat cannot perform the function of a dog.

Defence says look, we can still get a dog for 50 bucks, and it's all good.

DMO says no, we've already got the cat, and we can retrofit it out to perform the function of a dog for only 45 bucks! That's still cheaper than the dog!

DMO kit the cat out, and with a lot of screaming and shouting, the cat almost passes the tests.

DMO decide to lower the standard of the test because it is unfair on the cat, who is feeling belittled because it is expected to pass the dog test.

DMO hire a cat specialist for 30 bucks to design a testing process for the cat. Once the testing process is tailored to suit the cat, it passes with flying colours!

DMO supply Defence with the upgraded cat. Once in use, Defence discovers that the cat is not as functional as a dog, and demands a dog.

DMO have no money left to purchase a dog after project ?Cat? blew out the budget, and Defence has no choice but to put up with the cat."

The boy takes the quarters and leaves.


"What did I tell you?" said the barber. "That kid never learns!"

A young boy enters a barber shop...

Later, when the customer leaves, he sees the same young boy coming out of the ice cream store.

Hey, son! May I ask you a question? Why did you take the quarters instead of the dollar bill?"


The boy licked his cone and replied, "Because the day I take the dollar, the game is over!"

Copper Wire & Communication

After having dug to a depth of 10 feet last year, British scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 200 years and came t
o the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network more than 150 years ago.
...
Not to be outdone by the British, in the weeks that followed, an American archaeologist dug to a depth of 20 feet, and shortly after, a story published in the New York Times said: "American archaeologists, finding traces of 250-year-old copper wire, have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network 50 years earlier than the British".

One week later, Australia 's Northern Territory Times reported the following: "After digging as deep as 30 feet in his backyard in Tennant Creek , Northern Territory , Knackers Johnson, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely bugger-all. Knackers has therefore concluded that 250 years ago, Australia had already gone wireless."
