I hope I win, I dont even have one sak. Im going to submit a few more jokes.

When NASA first started sending up astronauts, they quickly discovered that ballpoint pens would not work in zero gravity. To combat the problem, NASA scientists spent a decade and $12 billion to develop a pen that writes in zero gravity, upside down, underwater, on almost any surface including glass and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to 300°C.

The Russians used a pencil.

A woman gets on a bus with her baby. The bus driver says: “That's the ugliest baby that I've ever seen. Ugh!” The woman goes to the rear of the bus and sits down, fuming. She says to a man next to her: “The driver just insulted me!”

The man says: “You go right up there and tell him off – go ahead, I'll hold your monkey for you.”


A doctor says to his patient, “I have bad news and worse news”.

“Oh dear, what's the bad news?” asks the patient.

The doctor replies, “You only have 24 hours to live.”

“That's terrible”, said the patient. “How can the news possibly be worse?”

The doctor replies, “I've been trying to contact you since yesterday.”


An Alsatian went to a telegram office, took out a blank form and wrote, “Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof.”

The clerk examined the paper and politely told the dog: “There are only nine words here. You could send another ‘Woof’ for the same price.”

“But,” the dog replied, “that would make no sense at all.”


TOP TEN REASONS COMPUTERS
MUST BE FEMALE

1. They just sit there blinking dumbly at you.


2. No one but their creator understands their internal logic.


3. Even your smallest mistakes are immediately committed

to memory for future reference.


4. They frustrate the hell out of you when you give a command and

they don't, won't, or can't follow it.


5. Sometimes, try as you might, you can't turn them on

particularly if you already have a floppy in.


6 If you floppy disk has a virus, you can be $@#$@#$@#$@# sure your

computer will get it.


7. They have a lot of data, but are still clueless.


8. A better model is just around the corner.


9.The best part of having one is the games you can play.


10. In order to get their attention you have to turn them on


A duck waddles into a bar and hops on a stool. The bartender, irritated, says, "What'll you have?"

The duck says, "Got any pickles?"

The bartender spits and says "We don't have pickles here, We serve drinks. Now get out!"

The duck hops off the stool and waddles out.

The next day, the same duck waddles into the same bar, hops on a stool, looks the bartender in the eye and asks, "Got any pickles?"

The bartender, irritated, says, "I told you yesterday we don't serve pickles here, we serve drinks, now GET OUT!"

The duck hops off the stool and waddles out.

The next days the same duck waddles into the same bar and hops on a stool, looks at the bartender, and asks: "Got any pickles?"

The bartender, infuriated, POUNDS his fist on the bar and yells at the duck. "I told you two times we don't serve pickles here, we serve drinks! If you ask me ONE MORE TIME, I'm going to nail your beak to the bar! NOW GET OUT!"

With that the duck shrugged, hopped off the stool, and waddled out.

The next day, the same duck waddled into the same bar, hopped on a stool, looked the bartender in the eye and asked: "Got any nails?"

The bartender, puzzled, said "No."

The duck then looked him square in the eye and said, "Got any pickles?"
 
Sorry if this has been asked, but what exam? USMLE? I had to ban myself from the forums for a while when I studied for it, so I know your pain. Welcome back.

Not USMLE yet, only the MCAT :o.

Been doing research for a couple of years now, and figure it's about time to move on. I had been aiming for 2011 matriculation (planned to work on a first-author project this year), but my former P.I. shut down his lab this past february to pursue his clinical research and health policy work. Luckily, I managed to transfer over to another P.I. in the same department, so I thought it best to push my plans up a year and apply this cycle. Looking back, I would have liked more time to prepare for the MCAT since I've been out of school for a while, but when I made my decision I thought I'd have more than enough time. 20-20 hindsight :D. Time to focus on the apps now, but I might keep studying just in case I'm not satisfied with the score.

Thanks for the welcome back :). Are you through all steps?

Nope, I take step 2 next Friday!:eek: Not that I let it interfere with W&SS time.

Sounds like you have a good research/science background, that will only help on the MCAT. You probably kicked butt. Now just try not to have a nervous breakdown thinking about all of the questions. Go outside and chill! :cool:
 
Ah! Then Good Luck!! :thumbup::thumbup: It's worthwhile to have relaxation time anyway, as you probably know better than me, law of diminishing returns and all that :).

I'll try, man, I'm really enjoying getting back outside again. It was sorely missed.

Good luck again!
 
Okay guys! Time to vote!

One vote per person, just the post the name of the member, to make tallying easy. Feel free to indicate which exact joke if the person had more than one.

In the event of a tie, we'll do a coin flip.
Voting will be open until Wednesday.

It was fun reading all of these jokes!! Thanks for puttin up with my blabbering here in W&SS :D.
 
Thanks for the vote man! I really appreciate it. It would be nice to be able to use a goin gear firesteel. I hear they are very good. The Sak is also very cool.
 
I wasnt going to vote for my self, but if others will vote for themselves, I will vote for my self. So my vote is for nc527, for the top ten reasons women must be computers.
 
Thought I'd give this thread a quick bump and hopefully get folk voting.

I thought I'd also share a joke that I found quite amusing (not entering the contest).

Les Stroud and Bear Grylls decided to do a survival show together and were duly dropped off on a deserted island. Unknown to anyone a tribe of cannibals resided on this island. Les and Bear were quickly captured and placed in a big cooking pot. The chief of the tribe offers to release them if they can complete a 2 part challenge. Les and Bear quickly agree to the challenge.

"The first part of the challenge is to find and bring back 50 pieces of fruit" declares the chief. Les and Bear go running off on their quest. Les quickly finds a load of grapes and proceeds to collect 50, returning to the chief before Bear.

"Whilst we wait for your comrade, I will tell you about part 2 of the challenge" says the Chief. "Part 2 is to place all 50 pieces of fruit up your bum without making a sound."

Hearing this, Les breaks out into an uncontrollable fit of laughter. "What is so funny?" asks the Chief. To which Les replies "Bear is collecting pineapples."
 
So, since its 2 am here, 11pm pacific time, Do I win the contest? this is the first contest I have won.
