ASF joke thread

A man had just settled into his seat next to the window on the plane
when another man sits down in the aisle seat and puts his black Labrador
in the middle seat next to the man.

The first man looks very quizzically at the dog and asks why the dog is
allowed on the plane ?

The second man explains that he is a Drug Enforcement Agency officer
and the dog is a 'Sniffer dog'. 'His name is Smithy and he's the best there is.
I'll show you once we get airborne, when I put him to work.'

The plane takes off, and once it has levelled out, the agent says:
Watch this.' He tells Smithy to 'search'.

Smithy jumps down, walks along the aisle, and finally sits very
purposefully next to a woman for several seconds.

Smithy then returns to his seat and puts one paw on the agent's arm.

The agent says, 'Good boy', and he turns to the man and says:
'That woman is in possession of marijuana, so I'm making a note of her
seat number and the authorities will apprehend her when we land.'

'Say, that's pretty neat,' replies the first man.

Once again, the agent sends Smithy to search the aisles.
The Lab sniffs about, sits down beside a man for a few seconds,
returns to his seat and this time, he places TWO paws on the agent's
arm.

The agent says, 'That man is carrying cocaine, so again, I'm making
note of his seat number for the police.'

'I like it!' says his seat mate.

The agent then tells Smithy to 'search' again.

Smithy walks up and down the aisles for a little while, sits down for a
moment and then comes racing back to the agent, jumps into the
middle seat and proceeds to poop all over the place.

The first man is really amazed out by this behaviour and can't figure
out how or why a well-trained dog would behave like this,
so he asks the agent 'What's going on?'


The agent nervously replies,


'He just found a bomb !'
 
Which bank ??

A young banker decided to get his first tailor made suit. So he went to the finest tailor in town and got measured for a suit. A week later he went in for his first fitting. He put on the suit and he looked stunning, he felt that in this suit he can do business.

As he was preening himself in front of the mirror he reached down to put his hands in the pockets and to his surprise he noticed that there were no pockets. He mentioned this to the tailor who asked him, "Didn't you tell me you were a banker?"

The young man answered, "Yes, I did."

To this the tailor said, "Who ever heard of a banker with his hands in his own pockets?"
 
A financial adviser parks his brand new Porsche in front of the office at Redcliffe to show it off to his colleagues. As he's getting out of the car, a B-Double comes flying along too close to the kerb and takes off the door before speeding off. Distraught the financial adviser grabs his mobile and calls the Police.

Five minutes later, the police arrive. Before the policeman has a chance to ask any questions, the financial adviser starts screaming hysterically:

"My Porsche, my beautiful silver Porsche is ruined. No matter how long it's at the panel beaters, it'll simply never by the same again!"

After the financial adviser finally finishes his rant, the policeman shakes his head in disgust.

"I can't believe how materialistic you bloody financial advisers are", he says. "You lot are so focused on your possessions that you don't even notice anything else in your life".

"How can you say such a thing in a time like this?" snaps the financial adviser.

The policeman replies, "Didn't you realise that your right arm was torn off when the truck hit you?".

The financial adviser looks down in absolute horror. "Freaking hell!" he screams, ....."Where's my Rolex!!"
 
A teacher asked her 6th grade class how many of them were Rudd fans.

Not really knowing what an Rudd fan is, but wanting to be liked by the teacher, all the kids raised their hands except for little Johnny in the front row.

The teacher asked Johnny why he has decided to be different.

'Because I'm not a Rudd fan.'

The teacher asked, 'Why aren't you a Rudd fan?'

'Because I'm a Liberal.'

The teacher asked him why he's a Liberal.

Johnny proudly answered, 'Well, my Mum's a Liberal and my Dad's a Liberal, so I'm a Liberal.'

Annoyed by this answer, the teacher asked, 'If your mum was a moron and your dad was an idiot, what would that make you?'

With a big smile, Johnny replied, 'That would make me a Rudd fan.'

George Bush visits Burke school whilst touring Western NSW..
"OK children" says the teacher - "aren't we lucky to have President Bush here with us today.
Well, are there any little questions you'd like to ASK President Bush?"

pregnant pause, Smithy's hand shoots up.

"Yes Smithy?"

"Mr Bush" says young Smithy, "I've got 3 questions! - 1. why did you invade iraq, 2. what happened to the weapons of mass detruction, and 3. why did you treat the prisoners so bad ?" -

Dubya looks uneasy, but fortunately the bell rings for recess. "ok says the teacher - recess!"

Returning after 20 mins, the teacher again invites questions. "Yes Thommo?"

"Mr Bush" says young Thommo, "I've got 5 questions! - 1. why did you invade iraq, 2. what happened to the weapons of mass detruction, and 3. why did youtreat the prisoners so bad - ........4. why did the recess bell ring 5 minutes early, and 5. ........what's happened to Smithy??"

You just thought about a red hammer, didn't you?

If this is not your answer, you are among 2% of
people who have a different, if not abnormal, mind.

98% of the folks would answer a red hammer while doing this exercise.

If you do not believe this, pass it around and you'll see.

Be sure to put in the subject line if you are among the 98% or the 2% and send to everyone, including the person that sent it to you .

I thought blue hammer.... what does that mean? :D
 
Tnhere are several explanations, most like this -

Answer

It seems pretty unanimous that the reason this "works" is because Red is usually the color people think of first, and Hammer is the first too. It also seems pretty unanimous that nowhere near 98% of people answer "red hammer".
This page has a discussion from a linguist.

This blog post was also interesting.
http://www.dx13.co.uk/articles/2006/4/1/433---The-98--2--Email.html

My personal theory is that additionally once Red is in the mind, some people will then jump to Hammer easily because of the Russian Hammer and Sickle (and who thinks of a Sickle?)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hammer_and_sickle

The best page of responses was this one:
http://theintentionexperiment.ning.com/forum/topic/show?id=848178:Topic:8244...

The 13 pages of posts at the bottom (people putting what THEY thought of first) make it pretty clear that nowhere near 98% answer "red hammer"

More pages with people posting results:

So... All of that isn't especially satisfying, but the truth of the matter is, that it doesn't work for everyone, not even for 98%, but boy is it impressive when it does work, which is often enough to get it forwarded for nearly 10 years (one of the pages I saw had a sighting of this as far back as 1999). Because only those for whom it works (typically) forward it, you get a long chain of "It worked for me" comments at the bottom of said e-mail, lending credence to the claim.

Thanks for writing!

After a British Airways flight reached its cruising altitude, the captain announced:

' Ladies and gentlemen , this is your captain. Welcome to Flight 293 , non-stop from London Heathrow to Toronto . The weather ahead is good, so we should have a smooth, uneventful flight. So sit back, relax and..... OH, MY GOD !'

Silence followed!

Some moments later the captain came back on the intercom.
'Ladies and gentlemen , I'm sorry if I scared you . While I was talking to you , a flight attendant accidentally spilled a cup of hot coffee in my lap. You should see the front of my pants!'


One Irish passenger yelled, 'bye jezis you should see the back of mine! '

After a flight reached its cruising altitude, the captain announced:

' Ladies and gentlemen , this is your captain speaking. Welcome to Flight 293 , non-stop from Sydney to LA . The weather ahead is good, so we should have a smooth, uneventful flight. So sit back, relax and enjoy the trip'

moments later the pilot speaks to his co-pilot with the intercom still on

'you know what I'd like right now... a cup of coffee and a blowjob!

Instantly, a flight attendant runs towards the front of the plane to inform the pilot the intercom is still on.

As she runs past, a male passenger yells at her - 'don't forget the coffee!'
 
Not sure if this has been posted.

I am in tears. :D


Post Flight Form*

After every flight, Qantas pilots fill out a form, called a "gripe sheet,"
which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft. The mechanics
correct the problems, document their repairs on the form, then the pilots
review the gripe sheets right before the next flight. Never let it be said
that ground crews lack a sense of humour.

Here are some of the actual maintenance complaints submitted by the Qantas'
pilots (as marked with a P) and the solutions recorded (as marked with an S)
by the maintenance engineers.

By the way, it is relevant to note that Qantas is the only major airline in
the world that has never, ever, had an accident!

P: Left inside main tyre almost needs replacement.
S: Almost replaced left inside main tyre.

P: Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough.
S: Auto-land not installed on this aircraft.

P: Something loose in the cockpit.
S: Something tightened in the cockpit.

P: Dead bugs on windshield.
S: Live bugs on backorder.

P: Autopilot in altitude-hold mode produces a 200 feet per minute descent.
S: Cannot reproduce problem on ground.

P: Evidence of a leak on the right main landing gear.
S: Evidence removed.

P: DME volume unbelievably loud.
S: DME volume reset to a more believable level.

P: Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick.
S: That's what friction locks are for.

P: IFF inoperative in OFF mode.
S: IFF always inoperative in OFF mode.

P: Suspected crack in windshield.
S: Suspect you're right.

P: The number 3 engine is missing.
S: Engine found on right wing after a brief search.

P: Aircraft handles funny. (I love this one!)
S: Aircraft warned to straighten up, fly right and be serious.

P: Target radar hums.
S: Reprogrammed target radar with lyrics.

P: Mouse in cockpit.
S: Cat installed.

And the best one saved for last......

P: Noise coming from under the instrument panel. Sounds like a midget
pounding on something with a hammer.
S: Took hammer away from the midget.
