  1. It was a plane crash. The two men were pilots in the cabin of an airplane.

  5. I've been in a management position several times over the years and I learned very early that the worst thing a "new" manager can do is to start changing things right off the bat. One has to learn how the various policies, procedures, and processes work and why they work (or don't work) first.
  6. So you say "it's the way it has always been done" and you want me to go along with that? Well you need to read the story of the Monkey and the Banana... Start with a cage containing five monkeys. Inside the cage, hang a banana on a string and place a set of stairs under it. Before long, a monkey will go to the stairs and start to climb towards the banana. As soon as he touches the stairs, spray all of the other monkeys with cold water. After a while, another monkey makes an attempt with the same result - all the other monkeys are sprayed with cold water. Pretty soon, when another monkey tries to climb the stairs, the other monkeys will try to prevent it. Now, put away the cold water. Remove one monkey from the cage and replace it with a new one. The new monkey sees the banana and wants to climb the stairs. To his surprise and horror, all of the other monkeys attack him. After another attempt and attack, he knows that if he tries to climb the stairs, he will be assaulted. Next, remove another of the original five monkeys and replace it with a new one. The newcomer goes to the stairs and is attacked. The previous newcomer takes part in the punishment with enthusiasm! Likewise, replace a third original monkey with a new one, then a fourth, then the fifth. Every time the newest monkey takes to the stairs, he is attacked. Most of the monkeys that are beating him have no idea why they were not permitted to climb the stairs or why they are participating in the beating of the newest monkey. After replacing all the original monkeys, none of the remaining monkeys have ever been sprayed with cold water. Nevertheless, no monkey ever again approaches the stairs to try for the banana. Why not? Because as far as they know that's the way it's always been done round here. And that, my friends, is how company policies are made.
  7. The cabin was originally on a flat clearing but a mudslide came down the mountain and demolished the cabin and left it and them on the hillside.
  8. Chris.... how is it that you know me so well..????
  9. Tim decided to tie the knot with his long time girlfriend. One evening, after the honeymoon, he was cleaning a polishing his Goldwing getting ready for the next day's ride. His wife was standing there in the garage watching him. After a long period of silence she finally speaks. Honey, I've been thinking, now that we are married I think it's time you quit riding and fooling with motorcycles in general. Maybe you should sell your guns and boat too. Tim gets this horrified look on his face. She says, "Darling, what's wrong?" "For a minute, you were sounding like my ex-wife.” "Ex-wife!", she screams, "I didn't know you were married before!" "I wasn't. "
  10. Tim decided to tie the knot with his long time girlfriend. One evening, after the honeymoon, he was cleaning his golf clubs for his Saturday game. His wife was standing at the bench watching him. After a long period of silence she finally spoke. “Honey, I've been thinking, now that we are married I think it's time you quit playing so much golf. Maybe you should sell your clubs and cancel your membership at the golf club.” Tim got a horrified look on his face. She said, "Darling, what's wrong?" ”There for a minute you were sounding like my ex-wife.” "Ex wife!", she screams, "I didn't know you were married before!" ”I wasn't “
  11. his widow? LOL the man would be dead... how could he? hahah
  12. well, she hasn't been with a man for quite some time so.....
  13. I believe I posted something about this a while back but, what you need is a 10 second delay relay. Here's where you can get it... http://retro-solutions.net/product-info.php?HID_Time_Delay_Relay-pid602.html This relay will prevent the HIDs from firing for 10 seconds after you turn the key on which gives you sufficient time to start the bike. EDIT: Here's the thread, my post is #11 ... shows how to wire the relay. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=75111
  14. Billy has 5 apples, Mary has 4 Oranges, Joe gives 3 peaches to Billy and 2 Peaches to Suzy. How many Peaches does Mary have?
  15. A man and his son are in a bad car wreck. The dad dies on the scene the son is rushed to the nearest hospital. In the ER it is determined that the boy needs life saving surgery. They rush him to the OR and prep him, the surgeon walks in and looks down and says "I can't operate on him....he is my son" Who is the surgeon?
  16. PPtttttttttttttttttttttttt :-P
  17. That was me ... oh wait a min ... I was dreaming that (and why was I dreaming I was on my RSMV?)
  18. YOUR Yearly Dementia Test-- only 4 questions It's that time of year for us to take our annual senior citizen test. Exercise of the brain is as important as exercise of the muscles. As we grow older, it's important to keep mentally alert. If you don't use it, you lose it! Below is a very private way to gauge how your memory compares to the last test. Some may think it is too easy but the ones with memory problems may have difficulty. Take the test presented here to determine if you're losing it or not. The spaces below are so you don't see the answers until you've made your answer. OK, relax, clear your mind and begin. 1. What do you put in a toaster? (scroll down) Answer: 'bread.' If you said 'toast' give up now and do something else… Try not to hurt yourself. If you said, bread, go to Question 2. 2. Say 'silk' five times. Now spell 'silk.' What do cows drink? (scroll down) Answer: Cows drink water. If you said 'milk,' don't attempt the next question. Your brain is over-stressed and may even overheat. Content yourself with reading more appropriate literature such as Auto World. However, if you said 'water', proceed to question 3. 3. If a red house is made from red bricks and a blue house is made from blue bricks and a pink house is made from pink bricks and a black house is made from black bricks, what is a green house made from ? (scroll down) Answer: Greenhouses are made from glass. If you said 'green bricks,' why are you still reading these??? If you said 'glass,' go on to Question 4. 4. Without using a calculator - You are driving a bus from London to Milford Haven in Wales . In London , 17 people get on the bus. In Reading, 6 people get off the bus and 9 people get on. In Swindon, 2 people get off and 4 get on. In Cardiff , 11 people get off and 16 people get on. In Swansea , 3 people get off and 5people get on. In Carmathen, 6 people get off and 3 get on.You then arrive at Milford Haven... Without scrolling back to review, how old is the bus driver? (scroll down) Answer: Oh, for crying out loud! Don't you remember your own age... It was YOU driving the bus! PS: 95% of people fail most of the questions!
  19. Mine has been 100% effective so far .... (I never get a flu shot)
  20. here's hoping it all comes together for you two. Life's a struggle sometimes but the payoff is usually worth the effort. We have two daughters who are seemingly constantly going back to school for one thing or another .... one day it will all pay off, I just know it. Even the "school of hard knocks" and that college of "trial and error" and let's not forget that university degree called "self-taught" has a way of paying off. Kudos to your efforts!
  21. When I wear out my Kumho, I'll be trying the Michelin. At my rate tho, this could be a couple or three years yet LOL
  22. yup! $139 at TireRack ... heck, even Canadian Tire sells em cheaper than SimpleTire
  23. F6B = Flat 6 Bagger

  25. It's actually a BUN warmer ... you put boiling water in the tray, put your dinner buns in the bowl, set the lid on and place the bowl onto the tray of boiling water.... keeps your dinner buns nice and warm!
