When they realized that the fourth guy has not           said a word, they asked him. 'You haven't said anything about what           you had to do to be able to come fishing this weekend.What's the           deal?'&lt;br /&gt;         &lt;br /&gt;         &lt;br /&gt;          Fourth guy: 'I just set my alarm for 5:30 am.

A stockbroker wouldn't come in&lt;br /&gt;here!&lt;br /&gt;The argument repeats itself for some time until the volume of beer&lt;br /&gt;gets the better of Dave and he makes for the toilet.&lt;br /&gt;On entering the toilet he sees that the suit is standing at a&lt;br /&gt;urinal.&lt;br /&gt;Curiosity and the several beers get the better of him.&lt;br /&gt;Dave: - 'Scuse me.... no offence meant, but me and me mate were&lt;br /&gt;wondering what you do for a living?&lt;br /&gt;Suit: - No offence taken! I'm a Logical Scientist by profession&lt;br /&gt;Dave: - Oh? What's that then?&lt;br /&gt;Suit: - I'll try to explain by example ... Do you have a goldfish&lt;br /&gt;at home?&lt;br /&gt;Dave: - Er ... mmm ... well yeah, I do as it happens!&lt;br /&gt;Suit: - Well, it's logical that you keep it either in a bowl or in&lt;br /&gt;a pond. Which is it?&lt;br /&gt;Dave: - It's in a pond!&lt;br /&gt;Suit: - Well it's reasonable to suppose that you have a large&lt;br /&gt;garden then?&lt;br /&gt;Dave: - As it happens, yes I have got a big garden.&lt;br /&gt;Suit: - Well then it's logical to assume that, in this town, if you&lt;br /&gt;have a large garden then you have a large house?&lt;br /&gt;Dave: - As it happens I've got a five bedroom house ... built it&lt;br /&gt;myself!&lt;br /&gt;Suit: - Well given that you've built a five bedroom house it's&lt;br /&gt;logical to assume that you haven't built it just for yourself and&lt;br /&gt;that you are quite probably married? And with a family?&lt;br /&gt;Dave: - Yes I am married, I live with my wife and four children.&lt;br /&gt;Suit: - Well then it is logical to assume that you are sexually&lt;br /&gt;active with your wife on a regular basis?&lt;br /&gt;Dave: - Yep! Five times a week!&lt;br /&gt;Suit: - Well then it is logical to suggest that you don't&lt;br /&gt;masturbate very often?&lt;br /&gt;Dave: - Do what? Not me, mate!&lt;br /&gt;Suit: - Well there you are! That's logical science at work!&lt;br /&gt;Dave: - How's that then?&lt;br /&gt;Suit: - Well from finding out that you had a goldfish, I've told&lt;br /&gt;you about your sex life!&lt;br /&gt;Dave: - I see! That's pretty impressive. Thanks mate!&lt;br /&gt;Both leave the toilet and Dave returns to his mate.&lt;br /&gt;Stuart: - I see the suit was in there.

The doctor said, "Your heart would be just below your left breast". &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Later that night........

The occasion was our 10th anniversary and I was looking for&lt;br /&gt; a little something extra for my wife.  What I came across was a&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;100,000-volt, pocket/purse-sized taser.&lt;/span&gt; The effects of the taser were&lt;br /&gt; supposed to be short lived, with no long term adverse affect on your&lt;br /&gt; assailant, allowing her adequate time to retreat to safety.  Needless to&lt;br /&gt; say, this was way too cool. Long story short, I bought the device and&lt;br /&gt; brought it home. I loaded two AAA batteries in the thing and pushed the&lt;br /&gt; button. Nothing!  I was disappointed. I learned, however, that if I&lt;br /&gt;pushed the button AND pressed it against a metal surface at the same&lt;br /&gt; time; I'd get a blue arc of electricity darting back and forth between&lt;br /&gt; the prongs.  Awesome! Unfortunately, I have yet to explain to my wife&lt;br /&gt; what that burn spot is on the face of her microwave.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Okay, so I was home alone with this new toy, thinking to myself that it&lt;br /&gt; couldn't be all that bad with only two AAA batteries, right? Yah.  There&lt;br /&gt; I sat in my recliner, my cat looking on intently, the trusting little&lt;br /&gt; soul, while I was reading the directions and thinking that I really&lt;br /&gt; needed to try this thing out on a flesh &amp; blood moving target.  I must&lt;br /&gt; admit I thought about zapping Kitty for a fraction of a second, but&lt;br /&gt; thought better of it. She is such a sweet cat and, as most of you&lt;br /&gt; already know, hell hath no fury like a cat pissed off. But, if I was&lt;br /&gt; going to give this thing to my wife to protect herself against a mugger,&lt;br /&gt; I did want some assurance that it would work as advertised. Am I wrong?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; So, there I sat in a pair of shorts and a tank top with my reading&lt;br /&gt; glasses perched delicately on the bridge of my nose, directions in one&lt;br /&gt; hand, taser in another.  The directions said that a one-second burst&lt;br /&gt; would shock and disorient your assailant; a two-second burst was&lt;br /&gt; supposed to cause muscle spasms and a major loss of bodily control; a&lt;br /&gt; three-second burst would purportedly make your assailant flop on the&lt;br /&gt; ground like a fish out of water. Any burst longer than three seconds&lt;br /&gt; would be wasting the batteries.  All the while I'm looking at this&lt;br /&gt; little device measuring about 5" long, less than 3/4 inch in&lt;br /&gt; circumference; pretty cute really and loaded with two itsy, bitsy AAA&lt;br /&gt; batteries thinking to myself "no flippin' way!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; What happened next is almost beyond description, but I'll do my best.&lt;br /&gt; I'm sitting there alone, the cat looking on with her head tilted to one&lt;br /&gt; side as if to say, "don't do it, master," reasoning that a one-second&lt;br /&gt; burst from such a tiny little ole thing couldn't hurt all that bad. I&lt;br /&gt; decided to give myself a one-second burst just for the heck of it.  I&lt;br /&gt; touched the prongs to my naked thigh, pushed the button, and HOLY&lt;br /&gt; MOTHER, WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION, CRAP ON A STICK!  I'm pretty sure&lt;br /&gt; Jessie Ventura ran in through the side door, picked me up, body slammed&lt;br /&gt; me on the carpet over and over and over again and then slammed the&lt;br /&gt; recliner over my head as a chaser.  I vaguely recall waking up on my&lt;br /&gt; side in the fetal position, with tears in my eyes, body soaking wet,&lt;br /&gt; both nipples on fire, testicles nowhere to be found, with my left arm&lt;br /&gt; tucked under my body in the oddest position, and tingling in my legs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; The cat was standing over me making meowing sounds I had never heard&lt;br /&gt; before, licking my face, undoubtedly thinking to herself, "Do it again,&lt;br /&gt; do it again!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Please take this from the voice of experience - there is no such thing&lt;br /&gt; as a one-second burst when you zap yourself. You will not let go of that&lt;br /&gt; thing until it is dislodged from your hand by a violent thrashing about&lt;br /&gt; on the floor! Three second burst would be considered conservative.  A&lt;br /&gt; minute or so later (I can't be sure, as time was a relative thing at&lt;br /&gt; that point), I collected my wits (what little I had left), sat up and&lt;br /&gt; surveyed the landscape.  My bent and forlorn reading glasses were&lt;br /&gt; hanging miserably on the mantel of the fireplace. How did they up get&lt;br /&gt; there?  My triceps, right thigh and both nipples were still twitching.&lt;br /&gt; My face felt like it had been shot up with Novocain, and judging by how&lt;br /&gt; my jaw hung listlessly, my bottom lip must have weighed 88 lbs.  By the&lt;br /&gt; way, at this point my testicles, feeling like they withdrew into my body&lt;br /&gt; somewhere around my ribcage, are still waiting for the all clear signal&lt;br /&gt; to emerge from the bomb shelter. Now I know how Tom Hanks'  character&lt;br /&gt; felt when he had to go search for Private Ryan.  I felt like I should&lt;br /&gt; offer a significant reward for their safe return.  Even now, I&lt;br /&gt; experience shrinkage when I plug anything into the socket.  If you ever&lt;br /&gt; feel compelled to "mug" yourself with a taser to test it, take my&lt;br /&gt; advice!   Repeat after me...here, kitty kitty....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/51314054055295613-8286328629012605895?l=starfishys.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://starfishys.blogspot.com/feeds/8286328629012605895/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=51314054055295613&amp;postID=8286328629012605895&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/51314054055295613/posts/default/8286328629012605895'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/51314054055295613/posts/default/8286328629012605895'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://starfishys.blogspot.com/2007/08/100000-volt-pocket-purse-sized-taser.html' title='100,000-volt, Pocket / Purse-sized Taser.'/><author><name>Chris Coates</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh4.googleusercontent.com/-EAn3wz-cdRU/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAC7I/pLe4yoFmEFQ/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-51314054055295613.post-9054040835466278663</id><published>2007-08-01T12:26:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2007-08-01T12:29:04.458+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Spearfishing Trip</title><content type='html'>Four guys were on a Spearfishing Trip. They had to bunk two to a room.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No one wanted to room with Daryl because he snored so badly.  They decided it wasn't fair to make one of them stay with him the whole time, so they voted to take turns.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first guy slept with Daryl and came to breakfast the next morning with his hair a mess and his eyes all bloodshot. The other two said, "Man, what  happened to you?" He said, "Daryl snored so loudly, I just sat up and watched him all night."                                                 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next night it was the second guy's turn. In the morning, same thing--hair all standing up, eyes all bloodshot.  The other two said,   "Man, what happened to you? You look awful!"  He said, "Man, that Daryl shakes the roof. I sat up and watched him all night."  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The third night was Frank's turn. Frank was a big burly ex-football player; a man's man. The next morning he came to breakfast bright eyed and bushy tailed. "Good morning," he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The other two couldn't believe it! He looked rested and wide awake. They asked, "Man, what happened?" He said, "Well, we got ready for bed. I went and tucked Daryl into bed, patted his ass and kissed him good night.

Those are&lt;br /&gt;called Cojones de Toro, bull's testicles from the bull fight this morning. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-ZA"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;color:black;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;" lang="EN-ZA"&gt;A delicacy!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The cowboy said, "What the heck, bring me an order."&lt;br /&gt;The waiter replied, "I am so sorry senor. There is only one serving&lt;br /&gt;per day because there is only one bull fight each morning. If you come&lt;br /&gt;early and place your order, we will be sure to save you this delicacy."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;The next morning, the cowboy returned, placed his order, and that&lt;br /&gt;evening was served the one and only special delicacy of the day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After a few bites, inspecting his platter, he called to the waiter and&lt;br /&gt;said, "These are delicious, but they are much, much smaller than the&lt;br /&gt;ones I saw you serve yesterday."&lt;br /&gt;The waiter shrugged his shoulders and replied, "Si, Senor. Sometimes&lt;br /&gt;the bull wins."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/51314054055295613-47211604433078763?l=starfishys.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://starfishys.blogspot.com/feeds/47211604433078763/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=51314054055295613&amp;postID=47211604433078763&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/51314054055295613/posts/default/47211604433078763'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/51314054055295613/posts/default/47211604433078763'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://starfishys.blogspot.com/2007/07/mexican-oysters.html' title='MEXICAN OYSTERS'/><author><name>Chris Coates</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh4.googleusercontent.com/-EAn3wz-cdRU/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAC7I/pLe4yoFmEFQ/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-51314054055295613.post-7946708539828635097</id><published>2007-07-16T07:55:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2007-07-16T07:56:33.917+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Work ethics revised?</title><content type='html'>&lt;p style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt;"&gt;A pat on the back is only a few centimeters from a kick in the pants.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt;"&gt;Don't be irreplaceable, if you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt;"&gt;The more crap you put up with, the more crap you are going to get.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt;"&gt;You can go anywhere you want if you look serious and carry a clipboard.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt;"&gt;When the bosses talk about improving productivity, they are never talking about themselves.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt;"&gt;Everything can be filed under "miscellaneous."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt;"&gt;To error is human, to forgive is not company policy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt;"&gt;There is never enough time to do it right the first time, but there is always enough time to do it over.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt;"&gt;If you are good, you will be assigned all the work.

This great feat was achieved with the help of good friends and much beer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What does concern me was his willingness to submit to the Borat and ultimately send the throngs of up country woman dilly as he strutted his borat on the beach at Sordwana. Or maybe was that his plan?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One has to question this ...... does he maybe have a secret ' I wanna strut my g-string ass on the beach' thing going??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please note that the spear fishing was terrible at Sordwana the next day, and probably for weeks too come.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So please I do not encourage this type of behavior!

It seems so easy so I&lt;br /&gt;thought that I'd pass it on to my dive buddies and even my family. The&lt;br /&gt;article suggested doing it three days a week.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty&lt;br /&gt;of room at each side. With a 2kg potato sack in each hand, extend your&lt;br /&gt;arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long as you&lt;br /&gt;can. Try to reach a full minute, then relax.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Each day, you'll find that you can hold this position for just a&lt;br /&gt;bit longer. After a couple of weeks, move up to 5kg potato sacks. Then&lt;br /&gt;25kg potato sacks and then eventually try to get to where you can lift&lt;br /&gt;a 50kg potato sack in each hand and hold your arms straight for more&lt;br /&gt;than a full minute (I'm at this level).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. After you feel confident at that level, put a potato in each of the&lt;br /&gt;sacks.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/51314054055295613-1098016780037047810?l=starfishys.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://starfishys.blogspot.com/feeds/1098016780037047810/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=51314054055295613&amp;postID=1098016780037047810&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/51314054055295613/posts/default/1098016780037047810'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/51314054055295613/posts/default/1098016780037047810'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://starfishys.blogspot.com/2007/03/try-this-spearfishing-free-dive.html' title='Try this Spearfishing / Free Dive training programme I&apos;m on - you won&apos;t believe the results!'/><author><name>Chris Coates</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh4.googleusercontent.com/-EAn3wz-cdRU/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAC7I/pLe4yoFmEFQ/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-51314054055295613.post-3929537497792816492</id><published>2007-03-05T15:05:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2007-03-05T15:05:13.575+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Starfish Murphy's Lesser-Known Dictums:</title><content type='html'>&lt;div lang="EN-US" bgcolor="white" link="blue" vlink="purple"&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="3"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt"&gt;Light travels faster than sound.

If you are choking on an ice cube, don't  panic. Simply pour a cup of boiling water down your throat and presto.

If you have a bad cough, take a large dose of laxatives, then you will be afraid to cough.                                                   &lt;br /&gt;                                                                           &lt;br /&gt;7. Have a bad toothache?  Shoot yourself in the leg with a rusty spear and you will forget about the toothache.                                               &lt;br /&gt;                                                                           &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sometimes, we just need to remember what the rules of life really are:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You only need two tools: Q-20 and Duct  Tape.&lt;br /&gt;If it doesn't move and should,  use  the Q-20.&lt;br /&gt;If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Remember:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everyone  seems normal until you get to know them.(check their starfish)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(This is the most important one - 4 Evan)&lt;br /&gt;Never pass up an opportunity to go to the bathroom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you woke up  breathing, congratulations!
