Re: JOKE!
General rules of repairs.
Identical parts aren't
Direct fit replacements won't fit
It's only after you have undone 250 screws, removed the access panel and the gasket, you find you've removed the wrong one.
It's only after you have replaced the panel and done up all 250 screws you find you forgot the gasket.
Even though you can see the replacement part you need sitting on a shelf, the store won't give it to you because the computer says they don't have any in stock.
When you carefully open a device so as to not lose any parts the spring loaded doo-hickey will suddenly shoot out of the device at great speed.
If the spring loaded part that just shot out of the device you are repairing is not critical to it's operation, said part will be just by your feet.
However, if said part is ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL to the operation of the device you are attempting to repair, it will never be seen in this universe again.

Re: JOKE!
A new camp commander was appointed and while inspecting the place, he saw two soldiers guarding a bench.
He went over there and asked them why they guarded it.
"We don't know. The last commander told us to do so, and so we did. It's some sort of regimental tradition!"
He searched for the last commander's phone number and called him to ask him why he had wanted guards on this particular bench.
"I don't know. The previous commander had guards, and I kept the tradition."
Going back another 3 commanders, he found a now 100-year-old retired General.
"Excuse me, sir. I'm now the CO of the camp you commanded 60 years ago. I've found 2 men assigned to guard a bench.
Could you please tell me more about the bench?"
"What?! Is the paint still wet?!"

Re: JOKE!
I urgently needed a few days off work, but I knew the Boss would not allow me to take leave. I thought that maybe if I acted “CRAZY” then he would tell me to take a few days off.
So, I hung upside down on the ceiling and made funny noises.
My co-worker asked me what I was doing. I told her that I was pretending to be a light bulb so that the Boss would think I was “CRAZY” and give me a few days off.
A few minutes later the Boss came into the office and asked,
“What are you doing?”
I told him I was a light bulb.
He said, “You are clearly stressed out. Go home and recuperate for a couple of days.”
I jumped down and walked out of the office.
When my co-worker followed me, the Boss asked her, “And where do you think you’re going?”
She said, “I’m going home too, I can’t work in the dark.”
