Lets make Friday 'Joke Day'!

Lest this get overlooked, the point is that the poster is claiming that the Egyptians, not the Real Housewives and Confused Cat originated this meme.

Or....the ladies and cat meme has been used extensively and became old long ago, but still remains current. Maybe the OP was just saying that the meme was old and shared another meme that insinuated that idea. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.


*IOW, yup, you got it right.
 
A tourist walked into a pet store and was looking at the animals on display. While he was there, an officer from the local AF base walked in and said to the shopkeeper 'I'll take a 6114 monkey, please.'
The shopkeeper nodded, went to a cage at the side of the store and took out a monkey. He put a collar and leash on the animal and handed it the officer, saying, 'That'll be $2,000, please.' The officer paid and left with the monkey.
The surprised tourist went to the shopkeeper and said, 'That was a very expensive monkey. Most of them are only a few hundred dollars. Why did that one cost so much?'
The shopkeeper answered, 'Ah, that 6114 monkey, he can rig aircraft flight controls, score 300 on the Air Force Personal Fitness Test, set up a perimeter defense and perform the duties of any enlisted man with no back talk or complaints. It's well worth the money'.
The tourist then spotted a monkey in another cage. 'That one's even more expensive! $10,000! What does it do?' he asked.
'Oh, that one' replied the shopkeeper. 'That's a 'Maintenance Supervisor' monkey. It can instruct at all levels of maintenance, supervise maintenance at the unit, intermediate, and Depot level, and even do most of the paperwork. A very useful monkey indeed'.
The tourist looked around a little longer and found a third monkey in a cage. The price tag was $50,000. The shocked tourist exclaimed, 'This one costs more than all the others put together! What in the world can it do?'
Actually' said the shopkeeper 'I've never actually seen him do anything but drink beer and play with his thing, but his papers say he's a pilot.'

An old and quite grizzled college instructor I had long ago used to instruct in F-4s to (if I remember correctly, which is doubtful at best) South VN pilots. We were laughing over a frosty beverage and he told me they used to have a sign above a door in Ops that simply said "With enough bananas..."

Of course I asked for the back story, and he relayed the struggles of the language barrier, among other things, to teaching rice farmers to fly fighter jets. He said the sign meant "With enough bananas, you can teach a monkey to fly."

A young guy from North Dakota moves to Louisiana and goes to a big "everything under one roof" department store looking for a job.

The Manager says, "Do you have any sales experience?" The kid says "Yeah. I was a vacuum salesman back in North Dakota."
Well, the boss was unsure, but he liked the kid and figured he'd give him a shot, so he gave him the job.

"You start tomorrow. I'll come down after we close and see how you did."

His first day on the job was rough, but he got through it. After the store was locked up, the boss came down to the sales floor.
"How many customers bought something from you today?" The kid frowns and looks at the floor and mutters, "One".
The boss says "Just one?!!? Our sales people average sales to 20 to 30 customers a day.
That will have to change, and soon, if you'd like to continue your employment here. We have very strict standards for our sales force here in Louisiana. One sale a day might have been acceptable in North Dakota, but you're not on the farm anymore, son."

The kid took his beating, but continued to look at his shoes, so the boss felt kinda bad for chewing him out on his first day. He asked (semi-sarcastically), "So, how much was your one sale for?"
The kid looks up at his boss and says "$321,237.65".
The boss, astonished, says "$321,237.65?!? What the heck did you sell?"

The kid says, "Well, first, I sold him some fish hooks. Then I sold him a fishing rod to go with his new hooks. Then I asked him where he was going fishing and he said down the coast, so I told him he was going to need a boat, so we went down to the boat department and I sold him a twin engine Chris Craft. Then he said he didn't think his Civic would pull it, so I took him down to the automotive department and sold him that 4x4 Expedition."

The boss said "A guy came in here to buy a fish hook and you sold him a boat and a TRUCK!?"

The kid said "No, the guy was a pilot who came in here to buy pads for his wife, and I said, "Dude, your weekend's shot, you should go fishing" ".

Well, 6 of ya's laughin' but what's the point? Must be some Elon thang. But check my trig anyway. I comed up with 135. The picture isn't accurate but that's how the numbers add up. Or maybe I'm just stoopid

I got 125. 90 + 35 = 125 meaning that the other angle of that lower triangle is 55 (to total the 180 for the triangle). To make the straight line, you do 180 - 55 to get back to 125. I've been wrong before, so this may be no different.

You are right though, the left triangle doesn't make sense. It would have to be 60/30 or 50/40.
 
Q. What was the main condition on the Scotsman's parole?

A. He wasn't allowed within 500 feet of a pasture.

Possibly making the point that you should never trust your eyes. Despite the drawing, it’s not a right triangle. The missing angle on the left is 80, so 100 on that corner on the right. 100 + 35 means the remaining angle is 45 and the opposite one is 135.

There is a somewhat silly theorem that says the supplementary angle of the extension of a line in a triangle is equal to the sum of the two opposite angle of the triangle.
 
I thought Lindbergh the poster arguing for marriage was funny considering Lindbergh the old pilot’s second (third?) family
