Eight points. EIGHT? What? So it’s my fault you work with morons? Sorry, I didn’t realize you were with the government.
(ba-dum, bump)
What? You’ve never heard the “Pickle Slicer” joke?!?!?!
Okay, next…
Niels Bohr and Albert Einstein are walking through the woods one fine Sunday afternoon discussing physics.
All of a sudden, a huge bear comes out of the trees and stands upon its hind legs, threatening to attack.
Albert Einstein starts to run away at a full sprint. Bohr yells to him “Albert, you know you can’t outrun a bear.”
Einstein yells back, “I know I can’t outrun a bear. I only have to outrun you.”
A long, long time ago, there once was a small peaceful village named Tridville. Naturally, the citizens of this Utopia were called the Trids. The only source of water the Trids had came from the Tridville Well, which sat high upon Tridville Hill at the edge of town. Any time one of the Trids wanted to get Tridville water, they had to climb the Tridville Hill and use the Tridville Bucket which was inside the Tridville Well in order to get Tridville Water out of the Tridville Well. Then they had to climb back down Tridville Hill carrying the Tridville Water. This went on for many years and life was good.
One day, a great evil dragon came and wrecked havoc upon the Trids and the village of Tridville. After much destruction, the Dragon decided to live upon Tridville hill and was quite threatening to both Tridville and the Trids, for the Evil Tridville Dragon, as he became known, had successfully cut off the Trids’ only water supply, that being the Tridville Well which sat high upon Tridville Hill. Now any time one of the Trids who wanted to get Tridville water out of the Tridville Well which sat upon Tridville Hill, they had to climb the Tridville Hill to try to use the Tridville Bucket which was inside the Tridville Well in order to get Tridville Water out of the Tridville Well, the Evil Tridville Dragon would kick the hapless Trid back down Tridville Hill without giving them the chance to use the Tridville Bucket to get Tridville water from the Tridville Well.
The Trids could do nothing to remedy the situation. Scores of Trids tried to climb Tridville Hill in order to remove the Tridville Dragon from Tridville Hill so once again they could climb Tridville Hill and use the Tridville Bucket in order to obtain Tridville Water from the Tridville Well. As soon as they advanced upon it, the Tridville Dragon kicked every single Trid who had scaled Tridville Hill in order to reclaim the right to use the Tridville Bucket to obtain Tridville Water from the Tridville Well which sat high upon Tridville Hill *back *down Tridville hill.
The Trids then made a plea to the King, and the King sent an army of Trids to climb Tridville Hill in order to remove the Tridville Dragon from Tridville Hill so once again the noble and peaceful Trids could climb Tridville Hill and use the Tridville Bucket in order to obtain Tridville Water from the Tridville Well without harrassment from the Tridville Dragon. As soon as the army of Trids advanced upon it, the Tridville Dragon kicked every single Trid soldier who had scaled Tridville Hill in order to reclaim the right to use the Tridville Bucket to obtain Tridville Water from the Tridville Well which sat high upon Tridville Hill *back *down Tridville hill.
As a last resort, the King of Tridville plead with Tridville’s only Rabbi, from the Tridville synagogue. The Rabbi agreed to ascend Tridville Hill and dispatch the Tridville Dragon from Tridville Hill so that, once again, Trids would have the ability to climb Tridville Hill to reach the Tridville Well which sat high upon Tridville hill to use the Tridville Bucket to obtain Tridville Water from the Tridville Well.
The Rabbi spent all night in silent prayer, asking not to be disturbed but only for a meager diet of bread and water. At dawn, he emerged from the Synagogue prepared to ascend Tridville Hill in order to dispatch the Tridville Dragon so that, once again, Trids would be able to use the Tridville Bucket which was inside the Tridville Well in order to get Tridville Water out of the Tridville Well. A crowd had gathered and stood almost in total silence as the Rabbi approached the foot of the hill. Women sobbed, babies cried and men stood in great anticipation.
The Rabbi ascended the Tridville Hill. The Tridville Dragon was not asleep but barely opened an eye as the Rabbi approached. The Rabbi got closer, and the Tridville Dragon began to snore slightly. The Rabbi slowly approached the Tridville Well. He lowered the Tridville Bucket into the Tridville Well in order to obtain Tridville Water to take back down Tridville Hill to take back to the Trids. As the Tridville Bucket descended, the Tridville Dragon raised an eyebrow, slightly.
The Rabbi was successful. He had been able to ascend the Tridville Hill without being disturbed by the Tridville Dragon to use the Tridville Bucket to obtain Tridville Water from the Tridville Well, which stood high upon the Tridville Hill. After giving praise for his success, the Rabbi began to descend Tridville Hill so that he could demonstrate his good fortune to the citizens of Tridville.
After only two steps, he stopped and turned to the Tridville Dragon. He asked “Excuse me, Tridville Dragon, but I have one question for you. Every time a Trid from Tridville attempted to climb Tridville Hill to use the Tridville Bucket to obtain Tridville Water from the Tridville Well which sits high upon Tridville Hill, you, the Evil Tridville Dragon would kick any Trid back down Tridville Hill. Yet, you allow me to complete the task unhindered. I do not understand.”
The Tridville Dragon smacked his lips slowly and replied, “Silly Rabbi. Kicks are for Trids.”
I’ll bet you green money you’ve never heard that one before.
Two molecules are doing the town, just being pals when a bit of roughhousing and horseplay ensues.
All of a sudden, one of them says, “Wait – I’ve lost an electron.”
The other one asks, “Are you sure?”
The first replies, “Yeah, I’m positive!”
Well, you *said *to bring it.
