That's a good one, sure Engineers Rock!!

I showed the joke to my wife. she has not said a word all morning. It works!
If it works for too long, I am not sure if that is such a good thing please:

But she stopped talking without you giving her anything, right? That means its working against you! Start damage control before its too late! :D

Huh...

A lawyer would have easily proved PAPA > MAMA.

What's the big deal if you have the dough to pay to the lawyer stupid:.

When will the signal turn green for me 😁

This ones real easy mate - when you see signals like these, turn back and go home - its just not your day today! lol:

Here's something from R K Laxman's "A dose of laughter"...

A noted psychiatrist was a guest speaker at a function. At the end of the event, the host had a question for the psychiatrist.

'Would you mind telling me, Doctor,' he asked, 'how you detect a mental deficiency in somebody who appears completely normal?'

'Nothing is easier,' he replied. 'You ask a simple question which anyone should answer with no trouble. If the person hesitates, that puts you on the track..'

'What sort of question?' asked the host.

Well, you might ask, 'Captain Cook made three trips around the world and died during one of them. Which one?''

The host thought a moment, and then said with a nervous laugh, 'You wouldn't happen to have another example' would you? I must confess I myself don't know much about history.' :uncontrol

To go home you have to wait for your signal to turn green and its going to be a loooong wait looking at the maze of signals.:D

POINTED REPLIES WHEN YOU COULD HAVE HEARD A PIN DROP

Take 1:
Field Marshal Sam Bahadur Manekshaw once started addressing a public meeting at Ahmedabad in English.
The crowd started chanting, “Speak in Gujarati. We will hear you only if you speak in Gujarati.”
Field Marshal Sam Bahadur Manekshaw stopped. Swept the audience with a hard
stare and replied,
“Friends, I have fought many a battle in my long career. I have learned Punjabi from
men of the Sikh Regiment; Marathi from the Maratha Regiment; Tamil from the men of the Madras Sappers; Bengali from the men of the Bengal Sappers, Hindi from the Bihar Regiment; and even Nepali from the Gurkha Regiment. Unfortunately there was no soldier from Gujarat from whom I could have learned Gujarati.”

Take 2:
JFK’S Secretary of State, Dean Rusk, was in France in the early 60′s when
Charles DeGaulle, the French President, decided to pull out of NATO.
DeGaulle said he wanted all US military out of France as soon as possible.
Rusk responded “does that include the 180,000 who are buried here?”
DeGaulle did not respond.

Take 3:
Robert Whiting, an elderly US gentleman of 83, arrived in Paris by plane.
At French Customs, he took a few minutes to locate his passport in his carry on.
“You have been to France before, Monsieur?” the Customs officer asked sarcastically.
Mr. Whiting admitted that he had been to France previously.” Then you should know
enough to have your passport ready.”
The American said, ‘The last time I was here, I didn’t have to show it.”
Impossible. Americans always have to show their passports on arrival in France !
The American senior gave the Frenchman a long, hard look. Then he quietly explained,
“Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach , at 4:40am, on D-Day in 1944, to help liberate this country, I couldn’t find a single Frenchman to show a passport to.”

AFAIK, the ads are displayed based on the cookies available on the local PC, I may be wrong though..

Bang on! When I google for a mobile or check out few properties and then surf TBhp, I can see all property or moblile ads being displayed based on my interest :D

I can second that,was just searching for some watches and got advertisement deals from websites for watch deals on the team bhp website.

I guess our fellow teammate's joke just backfired, what he was searching on the net for might just remain a "pretty little secret":uncontrol

wasn't this in the suggestions thread? how did it get here?
