 These engineering and science tech-centric
jokes, song parodies, anecdotes and assorted humor have been collected from friends
and websites across the Internet. I check back occasionally for new fodder, but
it seems all the old content is reappearing all over (like this is). The humor is
light-hearted and clean and sometimes slightly assaultive to the easily-offended,
so you are forewarned. It is all workplace-safe.
Humor #1,
#2, #3
FINE This is the word women use to end an argument when
they feel they are right and you need to shut up. Never use "fine" to describe how a woman looks -- this will
cause you to have one of those arguments.
FIVE MINUTES This is half an hour. It is
equivalent to the five minutes that your football game is going to last before you take out the trash, so it's an
even trade. NOTHING
This means "something," and you should be on your toes. "Nothing" is usually used to describe the feeling a
woman has of wanting to turn you inside out, upside down, and backwards. "Nothing" usually signifies an argument
that will last "Five Minutes" and end with "Fine."
GO AHEAD (With Raised Eyebrows) This is a dare. One
that will result in a woman getting upset over "Nothing" and will end with the word "Fine."
GO AHEAD (Normal Eyebrows) This means "I give up" or "do what you want because I don't
care". You will get a "Raised Eyebrow Go Ahead" in just a few minutes, followed by "Nothing" and "Fine" and she
will talk to you in about "Five Minutes" when she cools off. GO
AHEAD (With Lowered Eyebrows) At some point in the near future, you are going to be in some
mighty big trouble. LOUD SIGH
This is not actually a word, but is a nonverbal statement often misunderstood by men. A "Loud Sigh" means she
wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you over "Nothing."
SOFT SIGH Again, not a word, but a nonverbal
statement. "Soft Sighs" mean that she is content. Your best bet is to not move or breathe, and she will stay
content.
THAT'S OKAY This is one of the most dangerous statements that
a woman can make to a man. "That's Okay" means that she wants to think long and hard before paying you back for
whatever it is that you have done. "That's Okay" is often used with the word "Fine" and in conjunction with a
"Raised Eyebrow."
PLEASE DO This is not a statement, it is an
offer. A woman is giving you the chance to come up with whatever excuse or reason you have for doing whatever it
is that you have done. You have a fair chance with the truth, so be careful and you shouldn't get a "That's Okay."
THANKS A woman is thanking you. Do not faint. Just say you're
welcome. THANKS A LOT
This goes much deeper than "Thanks." A woman will say, "Thanks A Lot" when she is really ticked off at you. It
signifies that you have offended her in some callous way, and will be followed by the "Loud Sigh." Be careful not
to ask what is wrong after the "Loud Sigh," as she will only tell you "Nothing."
Send this to the
men you know to warn them about future arguments they can avoid if they remember the terminology. And
send it to your women friends to give them a good laugh. |
