The 6 best smart ass answers...


SMART ASS ANSWER #6
It was mealtime during a flight on Alaska Airlines.
"Would you like dinner?" the flight attendant asked John, seated in front.
"What are my choices?" John asked.
"Yes or no," she replied.

SMART ASS ANSWER #5
A flight attendant was stationed at the departure gate to check tickets.
As a man approached, she extended her hand for the ticket and he opened his trench coat and flashed her.
Without missing a beat, she said, "Sir, I need to see your ticket not your stub."

SMART ASS ANSWER #4
A lady was picking through the frozen turkeys at the grocery store but she couldn't find one big enough for her family.
She asked a stock boy, "Do these turkeys get any bigger?"
The stock boy replied, "No ma'am, they're dead."

SMART ASS ANSWER #3
The cop got out of his car and the kid who was stopped for speeding rolled down his window.
"I've been waiting for you all day," the cop said.
The kid replied, "Yeah, well I got here as fast as I could."
When the cop finally stopped laughing, he sent the kid on his way without a ticket.

SMART ASS ANSWER #2
A truck driver was driving along on the freeway. A sign comes up that reads, "Low Bridge Ahead."
Before he knows it, the bridge is right ahead of him and he gets stuck under the bridge. Cars are backed up for miles.
Finally, a police car comes up.
The cop gets out of his car and walks to the truck driver, puts his hands on his hips and says, "Got stuck, huh?"
The truck driver says, "No, I was delivering this bridge and ran out of gas."

SMART ASS ANSWER OF THE YEAR - 2007
A college teacher reminds her class of tomorrow's final exam.
"Now class, I won't tolerate any excuses for you not being here tomorrow.
I might consider a nuclear attack or a serious personal injury, illness,
Or a death in your immediate family, but that's it, no other excuses whatsoever!"
A smart-ass guy in the back of the room raised his hand and asked,
"What would you say if tomorrow I said I was suffering from complete and utter sexual exhaustion?"
The entire class is reduced to laughter and snickering.
When silence is restored, the teacher smiles knowingly at the student, shakes her head and sweetly says:
"Well, I guess you'd have to write the exam with your other hand."


Amazing, simple, home remedies!

1. If you're choking on an ice cube, simply pour a cup of boiling water down your throat. The blockage will instantly remove itself.

2. Avoid cutting yourself when slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold the vegetables while you chop.

3. Avoid arguments with females about lifting the toilet seat, by using the sink.

4. For high blood pressure sufferers - simply cut yourself and bleed for a few minutes, thus reducing the pressure on your veins. Remember to use a timer.

5. A mouse trap placed on top of your alarm clock will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.

6. If you have a bad cough, take a large dose of laxatives. Then you'll be afraid to cough.

7. You only need two tools in life: WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40. If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

8. If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.

18. Gummy Bears - we don't have enough of them... (suggested by *ninereeds-DA)
19. Feet; bare or in funny stockings/socks (suggested by =Adi-Emus)
20. Woman with colourful (preferably red) umbrella (suggested by =Adi-Emus)

Feel free to send me suggestions to expand this list - it's for the good of the community...

In fact, if you sprinkle some water on your subjects, it's guaranteed to improve your images 100%!

Clarification

In case anyone is wondering what possessed me to put a bunch of letters and numbers in the image titles, this is why: I'm using a code to identify each image (XT=Canon XT; 20D=Canon 20D; 40D=Canon 40D; 50D=Canon 50D).


Calibrating your monitor

The strip shows a range of grays from pure black to pure white. You should be able to see a clear difference between each shade of gray, ranging from pure black to pure white.



Along the top of the strips are alternate patches of black and dark gray. If it looks solid black to you (look very carefully), your monitor’s brightness is set too low. Increase it until you can just perceive the difference between the gray and the black squares.

Clarification

In case anyone is wondering what possessed me to put a bunch of letters and numbers in the image titles, this is why: I'm using a code to identify each image (XT=Canon XT; 20D=Canon 20D; 40D=Canon 40D; 50D=Canon 50D).


Calibrating your monitor

The strip shows a range of grays from pure black to pure white. You should be able to see a clear difference between each shade of gray, ranging from pure black to pure white.



Along the top of the strips are alternate patches of black and dark gray. If it looks solid black to you (look very carefully), your monitor’s brightness is set too low. Increase it until you can just perceive the difference between the gray and the black squares.
