The CIA had an opening for an assassin. After all of the background checks, interviews, and testing were done there were three finalists…
Two men and a woman.
For the final test, the CIA agents took one of the men to a large metal door and handed him a gun.
“We must know that you will follow your instructions, no matter what the circumstances.
In side of this room, you will find your wife sitting in a chair. Kill Her!!!”
The man said, “You can’t be serious. I could never shoot my wife.”
The agent said, “Then you’re not the right man for this job.”
The second man was given the same instructions. He took the gun and went into the room. All was quiet for about five minutes. Then the man came out
with tears in his eyes.” I tried, but I can’t kill my wife.”
The agent said, “You don’t have what it takes. Take your wife and go home.”
Finally, it was the woman’s turn. She was given the same instructions to kill her husband.
She took the gun and went into the room. Shots were heard, one shot after another. They heard screaming, crashing, banging on the walls.
After a few minutes, all was quiet. The door opened slowly and there stood the woman.
She wiped the sweat from her brow, and said, “This gun is loaded with blanks. I had to beat him to death with the chair.”

The boss had listened in sympathetic silence as Mario went through the reasons why he needed, and felt he deserved, a raise. Then, with a compassionate smile, the CEO patted he younger man on the shoulder. “Yes, Mario,” he said kindly, “I know you can’t get married on the salary I’m paying you… and some day you’ll thank me for it.”

One night a police officer was staking out a particularly rowdy bar for possible DUI violations. At closing time, he saw a fellow tumble out of the bar, trip on the curb, and try his keys in five different cars before he found his. Then he sat in the front seat fumbling around with his keys for several minutes. Everyone else left the bar and drove off. Finally he started his engine and began to pull away. The police officer was waiting for him. He stopped the driver, read him his rights and administered the Breathalyzer test. The results showed a reading of 0.0. The puzzled officer demanded to know how that could be. The driver replied, “Tonight I’m the designated decoy.”

I was having trouble with my computer. So I called John, the 11 year
old next door whose bedroom looks like Mission Control, and asked him to
come over. 
John clicked a couple of buttons and solved the problem.
As he was walking away, I called after him, ‘So, what was wrong?
He replied, ‘It was an ID ten T error.
I didn’t want to appear stupid, but nonetheless inquired, ‘An, ID
ten T error? What’s that? In case I need to fix it again.’
John grinned. ’Haven’t you ever heard of an ID ten T error
before?”
No,’ I replied.
‘Write it down,’ he said, ‘and I think you’ll figure it
out.’
So I wrote down: I D 1 0 T

Man arrested after yelling at bike:
A 68-year-old Florida man was arrested after having a loud argument with his bicycle outside a gas station this week, police say.
Richard Bialon was arrested Tuesday afternoon in Stuart, Fla. The arresting officer saw Bialon “yelling at his bicycle” in the parking lot of a Mobil gas station, according to an arrest affidavit.
“Customers were coming to the Mobil and were very disturbed as to the yelling and obscene argument the defendant was having with his bicycle,” the affidavit alleges.
Bialon was arrested and charged with disorderly intoxication, a misdemeanour.

Urine could be energy source of the future
It’s a renewable resource, and approximately 10 billion litres are flushed away every single day around the world. But scientists say everyday urine should be conserved and used to heat buildings or even run cars.
If only we could find a way to harness it.
Gerardine Botte, an engineer at Ohio University, said in an interview with New Scientist magazine that harnessing the power of urine could mean that an office building of 200-300 people would produce about 2Kw of power.
“One cow can provide enough energy to supply hot water for 19 houses,” Botte told the New York Daily News in 2009. “Soldiers in the field could carry their own fuel.”
The key is from urea, which is the key ingredient in urine and forms roughly 2% of human urine. Each molecule of urea includes four hydrogen atoms – twice the number as in a water molecule. This makes it easier to process and an easier target for synthesizing hydrogen gas.
Hydrogen gas is the base fuel for most eco-friendly fuel cell technologies.
Botte believes hydrogen prices could drop as low as $1/kg, less than half the current valuation.
The idea isn’t new. Ways to process urea using electrolysis or even microbial fuel cells have been described in various academic journals for years.
But in the latest issue of Energy and Environmental Science, Shanwen Tao from Heriot-Watt University in the U.K. describes how a fuel cell could work exclusively on urine, without any other energy input.
Just throw urine into the engine, and watch it go. No ‘on’ button required.
Tao hopes to market his idea by producing small portable sources of energy that could power radios or phones on the go, he told New Scientist.
“You could carry a small fuel cell for low-power mobile communications without having to carry the fuel,” he said.

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”

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
