magusfang Posted March 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 So a young couple were parked at the local make out spot when the young lady looked out the passenger side window and saw the car bext to them rocking back and forth, the widows covered in steam. She looked at her date and asked, "What are they doing over there?""Ah...um, they're making sandwiches.""Oh." She replied as she looked past him and saw the car on his side was rocking back and forth, the windows just as steamed up, "And over there?""Um, sandwiches too.""That looks like fun, can we make sandwiches?""Ah sure."The young couple became so engrossed in their sandwich making that they missed the girl's curfew and as they arrived at her house, her father met them with a loaded shotgun in his arms. The young woman jumped out and ran to her father, "Please Daddy, don't shoot him; we were just making sandwiches!""Mmm hmmm, and I suppose that's mayonnaise running down your leg!"

magusfang Posted March 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 And now a customer service message" . Subj:.....Beer Temperature Tester (S453b) From: darrell94590 on 9/20/2005 I thought I would give you some enlightenment on the finer points of drinking beer. For the truly discriminating aficionado, a glass of the finest beer should only be partaken if it is the correct temperature. The subtle nuance of the melded grains..... the fragile and fleeting taste of the brewers art..... can only be truly appreciated if that golden elixir is properly chilled. To this end, advanced studies candidates in the Graduate Engineering Department of Texas A&M University have developed an easily used fully portable Beer Temperature Tester which easily indicates whether the beverage is acceptably chilled or not. To test the beer, simply insert the tester into the glass. V V V V V V V After the tester has been immersed for a period of no less than fifteen seconds, remove both probes and observe the indication. V V V V V V V V V V V The beer on the left is the correct temperature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
