NASA’s Chicken Gun

Slay.me Joke of the DayScientists at NASA built a gun specifically to launch standard 4-pound dead chickens at the windshields of airliners, military jets and the space shuttle, all traveling at maximum velocity. The idea is to simulate the frequent incidents of collisions with airborne fowl to test the strength of the windshields.

British engineers heard about the gun and were eager to test it on the windshields of their new high speed trains. Arrangements were made, and a gun was sent to the British engineers. When the gun was fired, the engineers stood shocked as the chicken hurled out of the barrel, crashed into the shatterproof shield, smashed it to smithereens, blasted through the control console, snapped the engineer’s back-rest in two, and embedded itself in the back wall of the cabin, like an arrow shot from a bow.

The horrified Brits sent NASA the disastrous results of the experiment, along with the designs of the windshield and begged the US scientists for suggestions.
NASA responded with a one-line memo! –

“Defrost the chicken.” (True Story)

Maine Winters

Slay.me Joke of the DaySome engineers from the U.S.G.S. surveyed some property and found that in a area, the New Hampshire and Maine border must be changed. They stopped to inform a farmer that he was no longer in Maine, but in New Hampshire.

After a long pause, he grunted and said, “That’s good. I couldn’t take another one of these Maine winters.”

Still a Virgin after 10 Husbands

Slay.me Joke of the DayA lawyer married a woman who had previously divorced ten husbands.

 

On their wedding night, she told her new husband, “Please be gentle, I’m still a virgin.”

 

“What?” said the puzzled groom.

 

“How can that be if you’ve been married ten times?”

 

“Well, Husband #1 was a sales representative: he kept telling me how great it was going to be.

 

Husband #2 was in software services: he was never really sure how it was supposed to function, but he said he’d look into it and get back to me.

 

Husband #3 was from field services: he said everything checked out diagnostically but he just couldn’t get the system up.

 

Husband #4 was in telemarketing: even though he knew he had the order, he didn’t know when he would be able to deliver.

 

Husband #5 was an engineer: he understood the basic process but wanted three years to research, implement, and design a new state-of-the-art method.

 

Husband #6 was from finance and administration: he thought he knew how, but he wasn’t sure whether it was his job or not.

 

Husband #7 was in marketing: although he had a nice product, he was never sure how to position it.

 

Husband #8 was a psychologist: all he ever did was talk about it.

 

Husband #9 was a gynecologist: all he did was look at it.

 

Husband #10 was a stamp collector: all he ever did was… God! I miss him! But now that I’ve married you, I’m really excited!”

 

“Good,” said the new husband, “but, why?”

 

“You’re a lawyer. This time I know I’m gonna get screwed!”
