Hunker-Down Humor #5

An elderly couple had dinner at another couple's house, and after eating, the wives left the table and went into the kitchen. 

The two gentlemen were talking, and one said, 'Last night we went out to a new restaurant and it was really great. I would recommend it very highly.'

The other man said, 'What is the name of the restaurant?'

The first man thought and thought and finally said, 'What’s the name of that flower you give to someone you love? You know, the one that's red and has thorns.'

'Do you mean a rose?'

'Yes, that's the one,' replied the man. He then turned towards the kitchen and yelled, 'Rose, what's the name of that restaurant we went to last night?'

Tuesday's Random Stuff

Tuesday, to the majority of us, is simply known as the day of the week after Monday and before Wednesday. But there is much, much more to this day.

Tuesday is also known as the most productive day of the working week. According to a survey from Accountemps, almost half of the 150 executives that participated in a poll, identified Tuesday as the day that their employees were most productive. They reported that a Tuesday will always beat a Monday because the first day of the working week tends to be filled with more meetings. 

The worst day for productivity, not surprisingly, is reported to be a Friday.

Weird Alaska facts:

Alaska sure loves their moose! It is illegal to push one out of a moving airplane throughout the state, while Fairbanks considers you to criminally liable if you allow a thirsty moose to partake of your alcoholic beverage within the city limits.
You also aren’t allowed to whisper in someone’s ear while they’re moose hunting. Oh, and no shooting moose from an airplane.
In Fairbanks, you can kill a polar bear while it is hibernating , but don’t you dare wake it up to take its picture!
Apparently, their legal shenanigans don’t stop with wildlife. Your dog is not allowed to ride in the back of your pickup truck in Anchorage without being in a cage or tied down, either.

More random stuff:
1. During World War II, Americans tried to train bats to drop bombs.
2. Cherophobia is the fear of fun.
3. Footprints and tire tracks left by astronauts on the moon will stay there forever as there is no wind to blow them away.
4. The Welsh word for jellyfish is “pysgod wibli wobli”.
5. Europeans consume about 40% of the planet’s chocolate.
6. Almost half the pigs in the world are kept by farmers in China.
7. The very first nude scene in European cinematic history was in a Greek film in 1931.
8. In Kentucky, it’s against the law to put your ice cream cone in your pocket.
9. Hamsters only live for about 4 years.
10. Barbie’s official birthday is March 9, 1959.
So now you know all the useless/random/weird stuffs.
