It was
autumn, and the Red Indians on the remote reservation asked their
new Chief if the winter was going to be cold or mild. Since he was
a Red Indian Chief in a modern society, he had never been taught the
old secrets, and when he looked at the sky, he couldn't tell what
the weather was going to be. Nevertheless, to be on the safe side,
he replied to his tribe that the winter was indeed going to be cold
and that the members of the village should collect wood to be prepared.
But also being a practical leader, after several days he got an idea.
He went to the phone booth, called the National Weather Service and
asked "Is the coming winter going to be cold?"
"It looks like this winter is going to be quite cold indeed," the
meteorologist at the weather service responded.
So the Chief went back to his people and told them to collect even
more wood in order to be prepared. A week later, he called the National
Weather Service again. "Is it going to be a very cold winter?"
"Yes," the man at National Weather Service again replied, "It's definitely
going to be a very cold winter."
The
Chief again went back to his people and ordered them to collect every
scrap of wood they could find. Two weeks later, he called the National
Weather Service again. "Are you absolutely sure that the winter is
going to be very cold?"
"Absolutely," the man replied. "It's going to be one of the coldest
winters ever."
"How
can you be so sure?" the Chief asked.
The weatherman replied, "The Red Indians are collecting wood like
crazy."

Everybody
on earth dies and goes to heaven. God comes and says, "I want the
men to form two queues -- one line for the men that dominated their
women on earth, and the other line for the men who were dominated
by their women. Also, I want all the women to go with St. Peter."
The next time God looked, the women are gone, and there are two lines. The line for the men who were dominated by their women was 100 miles long, and in the line of men who dominated their women there was only one man.
God got mad and said, "You men should be ashamed of yourselves. I created you in my image, and you were all whipped by your mates. Look at the only one of my sons who stood up and made me proud. Learn from him! Tell them, my son, how did you manage to be the only one in this line?"
The man replied, "I don't know, my wife told me to stand here."
A tourist
walked into a pet shop and was looking at the animals on display.
While he was there another customer walked in and said to the shopkeeper,
"I'll have a C-monkey, please". The shopkeeper nodded, went to a cage
at the side of the shop, and took out a monkey. He fit the monkey with
a collar and a leash and handed it to the customer, saying "That'll be
$5000". The customer paid and walked out with his monkey.
Startled,
the tourist went over to the shopkeeper and said, "That was a very expensive
monkey. Most of them are only a few hundred dollars. Why did it cost so
much?"
The shopkeeper answered, "Ah, that monkey can program in C. He's very
fast,does tight code,no bugs, well worth
the money."
The tourist looked at the monkey in another cage. It was wearing a price tag on its collar. "That one's even more expensive! $10,000! What does it do?" The shopkeeper said, "Oh, that one's a C++ monkey; it can manage object-oriented programming, Visual C++, even some Java. All the really useful stuff."
The tourist looked around for a little longer and saw a third monkey in a cage of its own. The price tag around its neck read $50,000. He gasped to the shopkeeper, "That one costs more than all the others put together! What on earth does it do?"
The shopkeeper replied, "Well, I haven't actually seen it do anything, but it says it's a consultant."

A husband
had always been disdainful of people who, in his estimation, talk too
much. Recently he proudly told his wife he'd heard that men use
2200 words a day, while women use 4400.
The wife thought about that a moment, then concluded, "That's because
women have to repeat everything they say to their husbands."
