Odds and Ends

major invention was the quadruplex telegraph. Unlike other telegraphs at
the time, it could send four messages at the same time over one wire.
In The Middle - Middle age is when your

Flying Down The Highway
A man traveling over 125 miles per hour on the interstate was stopped by
a highway patrol.
"Sorry, officer," said the driver. "Was
I driving too fast?"
"No, sir. You were flying too low."
Passing The Bus
After he finished his route, a bus driver had to explain to the supervisor,
why he was 10 minutes late: "I was stuck behind a big truck."
"But
yesterday you were 10 minutes early," reminded the boss.
"Yeah,
the bus driver replied. "But yesterday I was stuck behind a Porsche."
Throne Stower
A chief of a small island nation was obsessed with the English royalty,
and his hobby was collecting thrones. He had wooden ones by the dozen stacked
in the upper section of his giant grass covered palace that had many rooms
for him and his cabinet.
One day, his people presented him with a large
stone throne and he had his servants carry it to the upper floor of his
hut and he put it in the center of all the wooden thrones. The king was very
happy.
That evening he rushed home from the hard day of being sovereign,
dashed upstairs and flopped into the new throne. When this happened the
floor gave away and all the thrones came tumbling down bringing the building
with them.
Moral: PEOPLE IN GRASS HOUSES SHOULDN'T STOW THRONES.
The Price You Pay
A man was telling his neighbor, "I just bought a new hearing aid.
It cost me four thousand dollars, but it’s state of the art. It’s
perfect."
"Really," answered the neighbor. "What kind is it?"
"Twelve
thirty."
