Joke of the Day
Bumpers
Most people hate to parallel park. The other day, I saw this woman trying to get out of a tight parking space. She'd bump the car in front, then back-up and strike the car behind her. This went on about 2 minutes.
I walked over to see if I could somehow help. My offer was declined though. She said, "Why have bumpers if you're not going to use them once in a while?"
Two-By-Fours
Some men in a pickup truck drove into a lumberyard. One of the men walked in the office and said, "We need some four-by-twos." The clerk asked, "You mean two-by-fours, don't you?" The man said, "I'll go check," and went back to the truck. He returned and said, "Yeah, I meant two-by-four." The clerk said, "All right. How long do you need them?" The customer paused for a minute and said, "I'd better go check." After a while, the customer returned to the office and said, "A long time. We're gonna build a house."
World Records
Most Teacups caught on the head while unicycling
In 1952, Rudy Horn(Germany) became the first person to throw 6 cups and saucers with his feet and balanced them on his head while mounted on a unicycle. He rounded off this feat by adding a teaspoon and a lump of sugar.
Most Basketballs Spun Simultaneously
Michael Kettman(USA) spun 28 basketballs simultaneously on May 25, 1999.
Most Rattlesnakes held in mouth
Jackie Bibby(USA) held five rattlesnakes in his mouth for 12.5 seconds without help.
