Honest University Commercial

Mr.Bean Moment

Things I’ve Learned From My Boys (honest and not kidding):

The following came from an anonymous Mother in Austin, Texas…

A king size waterbed holds enough water to fill a 2000 sq. ft. house 4 inches deep.

If you spray hair spray on dust bunnies and run over them with roller blades, they can ignite.

A 3-year old Boy’s voice is louder than 200 adults in a crowded restaurant.

If you hook a dog leash over a ceiling fan, the motor is not strong enough to rotate a 42 pound Boy wearing Batman underwear and a Superman cape. It is strong enough, however, if tied to a paint can, to spread paint on all four walls of a 20 x 20 ft. room.

You should not throw baseballs up when the ceiling fan is on. When using a ceiling fan as a bat, you have to throw the ball up a few times before you get a hit. A ceiling fan can hit a baseball a long way.

The glass in windows (even double-pane) doesn’t stop a baseball hit by a ceiling fan.

When you hear the toilet flush and the words “uh oh”, it’s already too late.

Brake fluid mixed with Clorox makes smoke, and lots of it.

A six-year old Boy can start a fire with a flint rock even though a 36-year old man says they can only do it in the movies.

Certain Lego’s will pass through the digestive tract of a 4-year old Boy.

Play dough and microwave should not be used in the same sentence.

Super glue is forever.

No matter how much Jell-O you put in a swimming pool you still can’t walk on water.

Pool filters do not like Jell-O.

VCR’s do not eject “PB &J” sandwiches even though TV commercials show they do.

Garbage bags do not make good parachutes.

Marbles in gas tanks make lots of noise when driving.

You probably DO NOT want to know what that odor is.

Always look in the oven before you turn it on; plastic toys do not like ovens.

The fire department in Austin, TX has a 5-minute response time.

The spin cycle on the washing machine does not make earthworms dizzy.

It will, however, make cats dizzy.

Cats throw up twice their body weight when dizzy.

80% of Men who read this will try mixing the Clorox and brake fluid.

Those who pass this on to almost all of their friends, with or without boys do it because:
a) For those with no children – this is totally hysterical!
b) For those who already have children past this age, this is hilarious.
c) For those who have children this age, this is not funny.
d) For those who have children nearing this age, this is a warning.
e) For those who have not yet had children, this is birth control

Consultant Humor

THINGS A CONSULTANT SHOULDN’T SAY TO A CLIENT

That was my first guess as well, but then I thought about it
You should see the hotel I’m staying at
Hey, I just realized that I was in junior high when you started working here
I like this office space. I’ll have them put me in here when you’re gone
My rental car is nicer than that junker you’re driving
Sure it’ll work; I learned it in business school
So what do you need me to tell you?
Of course it’s right; the spreadsheet says so
I could just tell you the answer, but we’re committed to a six month contract
What are you, stupid?

THINGS YOU SHOULDN’T SAY AT A CONSULTANT INTERVIEW

I’m a t-shirt and jeans kinda person
Do you pay overtime?
I hate flying
I’m useless without ten hours of sleep a night
There are lies, damn lies, and statistics
Are your rental cars covered for collision?
College taught me working in teams is great for slackers
I think three letter acronyms are for people too stupid to remember whole phrases
Two words: family first
Call it what you want, it still means firing people

WAYS TO TELL YOU’RE MARRIED TO A CONSULTANT

Referred to the first month of your relationship as a “diagnostic period”
Talks to the waiter about process flow when dinner arrives late
Takes a half-day at the office because, “Sunday is your day”
Congratulates your parents for successful value creation
Tries to call room-service from the bedroom
Ends any argument by saying, “Let’s talk about this off-line”
Celebrates your anniversary by conducting a performance review
Can’t be trusted with the car — too accustomed to beating up rentals
Valentine’s Day card has bullet points
Refers to lovemaking as a “win-win” situation

WAYS TO TELL YOU’VE GOT THE CONSULTING BUG

Can’t stop using words that don’t exist
Worried that he who dies with the most frequent-flyer miles wins
Use so many “buzz words” in conversation, friends think you’re speaking a foreign language
Constant urge to give advice on subjects you know nothing about
Always hyphenating words that-don’t-need-to-be-hyphenated
Compose your grocery list using bullet points
Can fit the thematic undercurrents of War and Peace into a two-by-two matrix
Tired of having a social life beyond work
A two-page story in Business Week is all it takes to make you an expert
Firmly believe that an objective viewpoint means more than any real work experience

THINGS YOU’LL NEVER HEAR FROM A CONSULTANT

You’re right; we’re billing you way too much for this
Bet you I can go a week without saying “on board” or “value-added”
How about paying me based on the success of the project?
This whole strategy is based on a Harvard business case I read about
Actually, the only difference is that I charge more than they do
I don’t know enough to speak intelligently about that
Implementation? I only care about writing long reports
I can’t take the credit. It was George in your MIS department
The problem is, you have too much work for too few people
Everything looks OK to me, you’re doing just fine

How to Get Kicked Out Of Chemistry Class!

As always, do not try any of the following in real life!

7. Mutter repeatedly, “Not again… not again… not again.”
6. When it’s very quiet, suddenly cry out, “My eyes!”

4. Write on the board – “Picnic Today” and then when your classmates arrive, begin toasting marshmallows over the bunsen burner.
3. Pour glycerin on all of the counters, and watch the equipment and chemical bottles slide off as they are used in your classmates’ experiments
2. Pop a paper bag at the crucial moment when the professor is about to pour the sulfuric acid
and last but not least…
1. Carry a small vile of water and tell everyone that you have the secret to invisibility in there. Place the bottle down and pretend not to be watching it very carefully.

Family Humor

Actually the worst penalty for bigamy is having two mother-in-laws.

The wife heard her husband come back into the house not too long after he had left. She said, “Hon, I thought you were going to your Lodge meeting.”
“It was postponed.” he replied. “The wife of the Grand Exalted Invincible Supreme Potentate wouldn’t let him go out tonight.”

Father grumbling to his two boys as he reluctantly gets ready for an evening out: “Other kids make their Mothers too tired to want to go out — but not you two.”

Nothing ruins a neighborhood more for the average husband than when a combination enthusiastic gardener – lawn care nut moves in.

Father to his teen-aged son: “When I was your age, I would have felt lucky to have use of the family car, whether I agreed with the bumper sticker or not.”

There was a married couple who were in a terrible auto accident. The woman’s face was burned severely. The doctor told the husband they couldn’t graft any skin from her body because she was so skinny. The husband then donated some of his skin. However, the only place suitable to the doctor was from his buttocks. The husband requested that no one, not even his wife, be told of this. After the surgery was completed, everyone was astounded at the woman’s new beauty. She looked more beautiful than she ever did before! All her friends and relatives just ranted and raved at her youthful beauty. She was alone with her husband one day & she wanted to thank him for what he did. She said, “Dear, I just want to thank you for everything you did for me! There is no way I could ever repay you!!!” He replied, “Oh don’t worry, Honey, I get plenty thanks enough every time your Mother comes over and kisses you on your cheek.”

Friend of mine was using the pay phone in a bar. After he had finished he walked over and I offered to buy him a beer. “Thanks.” he said. “Boss won’t let me use the phone at work for personal calls, and the wife and two daughters won’t let me at home.”

A husband said to his wife, “No, I don’t hate your relatives. In fact, I like your mother-in-law better than I like mine.”

Things Dumb People Have Done …

1. Police in Wichita, Kansas, arrested a 22-year-old man at an airport hotel after he tried to pass two (counterfeit) $16 bills.

2. A man in Johannesburg, South Africa, shot his 49-year-old friend in the face, seriously wounding him, while the two practiced shooting beer cans off each other’s head.

3. A young teller was new to the job when she was approached by her first robber. Noticing that the man’s grammar was not the greatest, the teller figured that the would be criminal was slightly slow. She told the robber that he had to have an account to rob a bank. Disappointed, the man left.

4. A company trying to continue its five-year perfect safety record showed its workers a film aimed at encouraging the use of safety goggles on the job. According to Industrial Machinery News, the film’s depiction of gory industrial accidents was so graphic that twenty-five workers suffered minor injuries in their rush to leave the screening room. Thirteen others fainted, and one man required seven stitches after he cut his head falling off a chair while watching the film.

5. The Chico, California, City Council enacted a ban on nuclear weapons, setting a $500 fine for anyone detonating one within city limits.

6. A criminal who broke into a couple’s house started to take the TV, but instead he turned it on and began to watch. He supposedly liked the program that was on and laid down on the bed. Since it was at night he was tired and fell asleep. So when the couple came home the next day they found him and called the police.

7. A bus carrying five passengers was hit by a car in St. Louis, but by the time police arrived on the scene, fourteen pedestrians had boarded the bus and had begun to complain of whiplash injuries and back pain.

8. Swedish business consultant Ulf af Trolle labored 13 years on a book about Swedish economic solutions. He took the 250-page manuscript to be copied, only to have it reduced to 50,000 strips of paper in seconds when a worker confused the copier with the shredder.

9. David Posman, 33, was arrested in Providence, Rhode Island, after knocking out an armored car driver and stealing four bags of money. Each bag contained $800 dollars. However, the bags weighed thirty pounds each since they all contained pennies. The hefty bags slowed the fleeting criminal to a sluggish stagger. Police easily ran down and arrested the suspect.

10. A convict broke out of jail in Washington D.C., then a few days later accompanied his girlfriend to her trial for robbery. At lunch, he went out for a sandwich. She needed to see him, and thus had him paged. Police officers recognized his name and arrested him as he returned to the courthouse in a car he had stolen over the lunch hour.

11. Police in Radnor, Pennsylvania, interrogated a suspect by placing a metal colander on his head and connecting it with wires to a photocopy machine. The message “He’s lying” was placed in the copier, and police pressed the copy button each time they thought the suspect wasn’t telling the truth. Believing the “lie detector” was working, the suspect confessed.

and last but not least…

12. When two service station attendants in Ionia, Michigan, refused to hand over the cash to an intoxicated robber, the man threatened to call the police. They still refused, so the robber called the police and was arrested.

Sunday Dinner At Grandma’s House

Little Tommy and his family were having Sunday dinner at his grandma’s house. Everyone was seated around the table as the food was being served. When little Tommy received his plate he started eating right away.

“Tommy, wait until we say our prayer.” his mother told him.

“I don’t have to.” the boy replied.

“Of course you do,” his mother insisted. “We always say a prayer before eating at our house.”

“That’s our house,” Tommy explained. “But this is grandma’s house, and she knows how to cook.”

A Single Woman’s Prayer

Now I lay me down to sleep.
Please don’t send me no more creeps.
Please just send me one good man.
One without a wedding band.

One good man who’s sweet as pie.
Who brushed his teeth and doesn’t lie.
Who dresses neat and doesn’t smell.
And is sexy like my man Denzel.
Is super-rich like Michael J.
On second thought, that’s okay.

Man, if I should die before I wake,
That would truly take the cake;
No matrimony or honeymoon.
No fancy reception planned for June.
No throwing of the wedding bouquet.
Please, God, don’t let me go out that way.

If I die before I meet Mr. Right
I won’t go out without a fight.
But then again with my luck,
He’d probably be just some schmuck.

The single life is not that bad
I know it’s just a passing fad.
I won’t be blue. I will not frown.
Besides, I like my toilet seat down.
No more makeup, won’t comb my hair.
So never mind this stupid prayer.

Do I Need A Perscription For This?
