Neil D Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 Shamelessly grabbed this from another site but thought it was funny. 1- Zero Gravity When NASA first started sending up astronauts, they quickly discovered that ball-point pens would not work in zero gravity. To combat this problem, NASA scientists spent a decade and $12 billion developing a pen that writes in zero gravity, upside-down, on almost any surface including glass and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to over 300 C. The Russians used a pencil. Your taxes are due again—enjoy paying them. 2 – Our Constitution They keep talking about drafting a Constitution for Iraq. Why don’t we just give them ours? It was written by a lot of really smart guys, it’s worked for over 200 years and we’re not using it anymore. 3 – Ten Commandments The real reason that we can’t have the Ten Commandments in a Courthouse is that you cannot post “Thou Shalt Not Steal”, Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery” and “Thou Shall Not Lie” in a building full of lawyers, judges and politicians! It creates a hostile work environment. Quote Democracy is a device that ensures we shall be governed no better than we deserve. George Bernard Shaw
cricket Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 As we have been studying the Constitution in our homeschooling endeavors, I really enjoyed this #2 quip! Thanks for sharing, Neil (even if it was a shameless "theft"). Quote
