These tech-centric jokes,
song parodies, anecdotes and assorted humor have been collected from friends and
websites across the Internet. This humor is light-hearted and sometimes slightly
offensive to the easily-offended, so you are forewarned. It is all workplace-safe.
The rules at a particular university were
such that if the professor were not present in the classroom by 15 minutes past the hour, the class was considered
a "walk" and the students were free to leave - with no penalties for missing a class.
The rooms were equipped with the type wall clocks that "jumped" ahead each minute, in a very noticeable fashion.
As it were, these clocks were also not of the most sophisticated construction. Some enterprising student
discovered that if one were to hit the clock with chalkboard erasers, it would cause the clock to "jump" ahead 1
minute.
It became almost daily practice for these students to take target practice at the clock (as it
would have it, this particular professor was not the most punctual, and the students considered him severely
"absent-minded"). A few well aimed erasers, and lo, 15 minutes were passed, and class dismissed itself.
Well, when the day for the next exam rolled around, the professor strolled into the room, passed out the exams,
and told them "You have 1 hour to complete".
The professor then proceeded to collect the erasers from
around the room, gleefully taking aim at the clock. When he had successfully "jumped" the clock forward 1 hour, he
closed the class and collected the exam papers.
RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling
2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed
formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit
design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at
the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps
while typing up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got
Mail" when a new message arrived...
