* What is the contour interval around western Europe? Zero because all the Poles are in eastern Europe.Yup (although borderline on the PC/Taste front!)
Not even right due to the recent migrations westwards in recent years... (Although they migration is probably eastwards now, so the balance will be restored!)
* Some people think the glass is half empty. Some people think the glass is half full. Database admins think the glass is twice the size it needs to be.LOL, too true...
And simialrly the engineer says it's the wrong size.
* Two spiral galaxies walk into a pub. The landlord says "I can serve *you*..." (points at the first), "but not *you*..." (points at the second). "Why not?" - "Because you're barred."Nope.
Variant on a type of spiaral galaxy.. (Thanks to E. Hubble for the definitions)
