Edeyn Okay, so I've had a rough week. I don't need to grouse more than I have, and steps are being taken -- no, I'm not suicidal... if that matters to you, thank my belovéd for providing me with a reason for living.

But I was so far down that I cried until I had no tears left. Literally. I mean, I was sobbing and wailing... but there were no tears left to come out. I exhausted my tear ducts. So... today, we (roommate and I) found a bunch of INANE but fun jokes on YouTube ... some are old, some aren't, some are horrible groaners, some are laugh until you can't breathe, some I had heard (or even told) before, and a some were brand new to me.

Some of them are funny because of the unexpected answer. There are some that are better said aloud [marked with the asterisks], but most don't need to be said aloud ... here y'all go, some of the ones that made me laugh hardest! (If you need explanations for any of these, just ask...)

I especially liked the mindreader bit, Quantum Zombee, calendar mixup and I didn't understand the deaf people one.

DEAF hex

DEAF is a number in Hexadecimal...

Binary uses 2 digits

0, 1

Octal uses 8 digits

0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7

Decimal uses 10 digits

0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

Hexadecimal uses 16 digits

0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, F

So in Binary, you count to twenty this way:

0, 1, 10, 11, 100, 101, 110, 111, 1000, 1001, 1010, 1011, 1100, 1101, 1110, 1111, 10000, 10001, 10010, 10011, 10100

So in Octal, you count to twenty this way:

0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24

So in Decimal, you count to twenty this way:

0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20

So in Hexadecimal, you count to twenty this way:

0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, F, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14

So, DEAF is actually a large number in Hexadecimal... equal to 57,007 in Decimal.

Thanks for the explanation

While I did not need the "100bin common programming counts" explanation, it certainly may help the others. I simply was too daft to apply the hexadecimal numerals to the word treating it like a number instead.

P.S. And I also liked the Newton's way of shifting the pressure!

Thank you... I needed that. I got one forwarded to me that is in the same vein - however it's a "story joke".


Returning home from work, Boudreaux was shocked to find his house ransacked and burglarized. He telephoned the police at once and reported the crime. The police dispatcher broadcast the call on the radio, and a K-9 unit, patrolling nearby, was the first to respond. As the K-9 officer approached the house with his dog on a leash, Boudreaux ran out on the porch, shuddered at the sight of the cop and his dog, then sat down on the steps. Putting his face in his hands, Boudreaux moaned, "I come home to find all my possessions stolen. I call the police for help, and what do they do? They send me a BLIND policeman."


I heard the "What's worse than finding a worm in your apple?" with a different answer. "Finding Half a worm in your apple."

Again, thank you very much!
