Husband: “Scientists say men speak about 10,000 words a day, while women speak around 20,000” Wife (from the kitchen): “That’s because we have to repeat everything.” Husband: “What?” So I saw an old dude with a fishing rod outside my local bar, fishing in a puddle. He looked so sad and cold. I said to him, “Come in for a drink and get warm.” As we sipped our double whiskeys, I thought I’d humour him. I asked, “How many have you caught today old buddy?” He took another sip, riased his glass with a smile and replied, “You are the 8th!!” My husband recently called an old engineering buddy of his and asked what he woas working on these days. He replied that he was working on “aqua-thermal treatment of ceramics, aluminium, and steel under a constrained environment.” He was impressed - until he learned that his buddy was actually just washing dishes with hot water under his wife’s supervision!
