An army Colonel is newly assigned command of a unit. On his first day, he walks by a park bench with an armed private standing guard next to it.
The Colonel asks, “son, why are you standing guard by this bench?”
“I wouldn’t know, sir,” answers the Private. “The Sergeant assigned a guard duty for it, and today is my shift.”
So the Colonel goes and finds the Sergeant, and asks him, “Sergeant, why do you have a private guarding the park bench?”
“Captain’s orders, sir,” answers the Sergeant. “I have been ordered to assign a guard detail around that bench, so each day a different private stands guard.”
Intrigued, the Colonel visits the company HQ and asks for the Captain. “Captain, why did you assign a guard duty to the park bench?”
“Sir,” answers the Captain, “this has been a standing order by your retired predecessor, ever since he took command of this unit six years ago. All I know is that on his very first day, he walked past that bench, briefly rested on it, and then, as soon as he reached HQ, his first order was to ensure that bench remains unused. We had armed guards posted to it ever since. Shall the guard be removed, sir?”
“No,” answers the Colonel, “keep the guard until we find the reason for it, it could be important.”
After two months on the job, the Colonel took some leave, and traveled to the retirement home where his predecessor, now an old, crusty retired General, spends his days. “General,” asks the Colonel, “do you remember why there is an armed guard assigned to the park bench where you sat six years ago, on the first day of your assignment to the unit I’m now in command of?”
The General stands dumbfounded for a moment, then asks, “YOU MEAN THE PAINT STILL HASN’T DRIED?”

At the club, the doorman says, Hi, Jim, how are you? The wife asks, How does he know you? Jim says, Oh dear, I play football with him.
Inside the Bartender Says, The Usual, Jim? Jim says to Wife, Before you say anything, He’s on the Darts team.
Next a stripper Says, Hi, Jim! Do you crave the special again?
The Wife storms out, dragging Jim with her & jumps into a taxi.

I asked my wife, “Where did all the butter go?”
She replied, “I made it into ghee.”
“Oh,” I said, “thanks for clarifying.”
In the beginning, there was a plan,
And then came the assumptions,
And the assumptions were without form,
And the plan without substance.
And the darkness was upon the face of the workers,
And they spoke among themselves, saying,
“It is a crock of shit and it stinks.”
And the workers went unto their supervisors, saying,
“It is a pile of dung, and we cannot live with the smell.”
And the supervisors went unto their managers, saying,
“It is a container of manure, and it is very strong, such that none may abide by it.”
And the managers went unto their directors, saying,
“It is a vessel of fertilizer, and none may abide by its strength.”
And the directors spoke among themselves, saying to one another,
“It contains that which aids plants growth, and it is very strong.”
And the directors went to the vice presidents, saying unto them,
“It promotes growth, and it is very powerful.”
And the vice presidents went to the president, saying unto him,
“This new plan will actively promote the growth and vigor of the company with very powerful effects.”
And the president looked upon the plan,
And saw that it was good,
And the plan became policy.
And this, my friends, is how shit happens.
Guy walks to a fridge and notices a note pinned with a little magnet saying, “Sorry, Tim, but I’m leaving you. You are too incredibly stupid”.
The guy exclaims “Where-do you think you’re going!?” and yanks the fridge’s plug out.
