Gimme Five


With Tiger's most recent victory at the U.S. Open, all the sports talk shows were focused on the race to catch Jack's 18 majors or the fact he gutted through one of his most memorable wins while fighting an injured knee. Leave it to our own Rick Ball courtesy of Team 1040 to point out the one thing that Tiger has been unable to conquer in his storied career, his inability to deliver a proper high five with his caddie. It starts out with the right motion but near the middle it really looks as if they are going to miss which is followed a weird clutch and grab at the end. I never really thought about this until I watched some old footage of the fiver. I think the picture just about speaks for itself. Next time maybe they should stick to something less fancy like a fist pump a la Howie Mandel.

Who will win? IT or Sales?

Oil Alternatives

With oil at $140 a barrel, we are now getting all sorts of ways to find cheaper oil. So, this little tidbit comes from the Silicon Valley. Scientists found a bug that eats agricultural waste products like wood chips, and excretes crude oil. Bugs with oil coming out of their asses! I thought that only Texas oilmen were the only things on earth that had oil coming out of their asses.

The Bikini Effect

Why do men have trouble sticking to diets and staying within budgets? Belgian researchers have discovered what is called the Bikini Effect.

The Bikini Effect Makes Men Impulsive

Joke of the Week

A father walks into a bookstore with his young son. The boy is holding a nickel. After a few minutes in the store, the boy starts choking, going blue in the face. The father realizes the boy has swallowed the nickel and starts panicking, shouting for help.

A well dressed, attractive and serious-looking woman in a blue business suit is sitting at a coffee bar reading a newspaper and sipping a cup of coffee. At the sound of the commotion, she looks up, puts her coffee cup down, neatly folds the newspaper and places it on the counter, gets up from her seat and makes her way, unhurried, across the book store.

Reaching the boy, the woman carefully drops his pants; takes hold of the boy's testicles and starts to squeeze and twist, gently at first and then ever so firmly. After a few seconds the boy convulses violently and coughs up the nickel, which the woman deftly catches in her free hand. Releasing the boy's testicles, the woman hands the nickel to the father and walks back to her seat in the coffee bar without saying a word.

As soon as he is sure that his son has suffered no ill effects, the father rushes over to the woman and starts thanking her saying, "I've never seen anybody do anything like that before, it was fantastic. Are you a doctor?" "No," the woman replied. "Divorce lawyer."

SkyMall Products


Skymall, the shopping catalog that you find on airplanes often comes out with awesome products. Items like the Dough-Nu-Matic, Pop-Up Hot Dog Cooker, and Mini Beer Pub are great examples of must-haves for any home. Sometimes there are items that you wonder who are the people buying this kind of stuff:
The NoseAid is just plain dumb. Try using the ancient Chinese remedy of shoving up a lettuce leaf up your nose to stop a nose bleed.
