Darwin Awards – Fourth Of July
The Darwin Awards commemorate those who improve our gene pool by removing themselves from it.
Three young men in Oklahoma were enjoying the upcoming Fourth of July holiday and wanted to apparently test fire some fireworks.
Their only real problem was that their launch pad and seating arrangements were atop a several hundred thousand gallon fuel distillation storage tank. Oddly enough, some fumes were ignited, producing a fireball seen for miles.
They were launched several hundred feet into the air and were found dead 250 yards from their respective seats.

With any kind of physical test, I don’t know what it is, I always seem to get competitive. Remember when you were in school and they’d do those hearing tests? And you’d really be listening hard, you know?
I wanted to do unbelievable on the hearing test. I wanted them to come over to me after and go, “We think you may have something close to super-hearing. What you heard was a cotton ball touching a piece of felt. We’re sending the results to Washington, we’d like you to meet the President.”
The proof that we don’t understand death is we give dead people a pillow. I mean if you can’t stretch out and get some solid rest at that point, I don’t think there are any bedding accessories that can make the difference. But the suit and the pillow really shows how we have no idea what to get these people ready for.
I mean, what situation are you going into with a suit and a pillow? There’s no business nap meetings.
Somebody just gave me a shower radio. Thanks a lot. Do you really want music in the shower?
I guess there’s no better place to dance than a slick surface next to a glass door!
It’s tough to do a good deed. Let’s look at your professional good-deed doers, your Lone Rangers, your Supermen, your Batmen, your Spiderman. They’re all wearing disguises, masks over their faces, secret identities. They don’t want people to know who they are. Too much aggravation.
“Superman, yeah thanks for saving my life, but did you have to come through my wall? I’m renting here. They’ve got a security deposit. Now what am I supposed to do?”
I’m on the plane, we left late, and the pilot says, “We’re going to be making up some time in the air.”
I thought, “Isn’t that interesting. They just make up time.” That’s why you have to reset your watch when you land. Of course, when they say they’re making up time, obviously they’re increasing the speed of the aircraft.
Now my question is, if you can go faster, why don’t you just go as fast as you can all the time? “Come on, they’re no cops up here! Nail it! Give it some gas! We’re flying!”
The worst way of flying, I think, is standby. You ever fly standby? It never works. That’s why they call it standby. You end up standing there going, “Bye.”
Frankly, I don’t believe people think of their office as a workplace anyway. I think they think of it as a stationery store with Danish. You want to get your pastry, your envelopes, your supplies, your toilet paper, six cups of coffee, and you go home.
Then there’s the psychiatrist. Why is it that with the psychiatrist every hour is only fifty minutes? What do they do with the ten minutes that they have left?
Do they just sit there going, “Boy that guy was crazy. I couldn’t believe the things he was saying. What a nut. Who’s coming in next? Oh no, another head case.”
Talk-show hosts never seem to have any idea how much time is left in the show, you know? They’re always looking off camera, “Do we have time?” “Are we out of time?” “How are we doing on time?”
You never see the cops on NYPD Blue go, “Should I strangle this guy or are we gonna take a break here? Can you stay for another beating? I’ll tell you what, I’ll bop him in the head, we’ll do a commercial, we’ll come back, I’ll drive in the car real fast. Stay with us.”
The main difference between the man’s wallet and the woman’s wallet is the photo section. Women carry with them a photograph of every person they’ve ever met every day in their whole life since the beginning of time. And every picture’s out of date. “Here’s my cousin, 3 years old, she’s in the Marines now. This is my dog; he died during the Carter administration.”
They get stopped by a cop, no license and registration. “Here’s my fifty-six people who know me.”
Cop goes, “Alright ma’am, just wanted to make sure you had some friends. Move it along…. Routine pal check.”

The Ubiquitous Cell Phone
Several men are in the locker room of a golf club.
A cell phone on a bench rings and a man engages the hands free speaker-function and begins to talk. Everyone else in the room stops to listen.
MAN: “Hello”
WOMAN: “Honey, it’s me. Are you at the club?”
MAN: “Yes”
WOMAN: “I am at the mall now and found this beautiful leather coat. It’s only $1,000. Is it OK if I buy it?”
MAN: “Sure, .go ahead if you like it that much.”
WOMAN: “I also stopped by the Mercedes dealership and saw the new 2005 models. I saw one I really liked.”
MAN: “How much?”
WOMAN: “$90,000″
MAN: “OK, but for that price I want it with all the options.”
WOMAN: “Great! Oh, and one more thing. The house I wanted last year is back on the market. They’re asking $950,000″
MAN: “Well, then go ahead and give them an offer of 900,000. They will probably take it. If not, we can go the extra 50 thousand. It is really a pretty good price.”
WOMAN: “OK. I’ll see you later! I love you so much!!”
MAN: “Bye! I love you, too.”
The man hangs up. The other men in the locker room are staring at him in astonishment, mouths agape…..
He smiles and asks: “Anyone know who this phone belongs to?”
Ways To Terrify A Telemarketer!
Tell them to talk VERY SLOWLY, because you want to write EVERY WORD down
Insist that the caller is really your buddy Leon, playing a joke. “Come on Leon, cut it out! Seriously, Leon, how’s your Momma?”
Tell the telemarketer you are busy at the moment and ask them if they will give you their HOME phone number so you can call them back. When the telemarketer explains that they cannot give out their HOME number, you say “I guess you don’t want anyone bothering you at home, right?” The telemarketer will agree and you say, “Now you know how I feel!” Say good bye and hang up.
After the telemarketer gives their spiel, ask him/her to marry you. When they get all flustered, tell them that you could not just give our credit card number to a complete stranger.
Tell the telemarketer you are on “home incarceration” and ask if they could bring you a case of beer and some chips.
If they want to loan you money, tell them you just filed for bankruptcy and you could sure use some money.

Cry out in surprise, “Judy! Is that you? Oh my God! Judy, how have you been?” Hopefully, this will give Judy a few brief moments of pause as she tries to figure out where the hell she could know you from.
If they say they’re John Doe from XYZ Company, ask them to spell their name. Then ask them to spell the company name. Then ask them where it is located. Continue asking them personal questions or questions about their company for as long as necessary.
