Fixing a problem

“A Minnesota farm wife called the local phone company to report
her telephone failed to ring when her friends called - and
that on the few occasions when it did ring, her dog always
moaned right before the phone rang. The telephone repairman
proceeded to the scene, curious to see this psychic dog or
senile lady. He climbed a telephone pole, hooked in his test
set, and dialed the subscriber's house. The phone didn't ring
right away, but then the dog moaned and the telephone began to
ring. Climbing down from the pole, the telephone repairman found:

1. The dog was tied to the telephone system's ground wire via
a steel chain and collar.

2. The wire connection to the ground rod was loose.

3. The dog was receiving 90 volts of signaling current when
the number was called.

4. After a couple of jolts, the dog would start moaning and
then urinate.

5. The wet ground would complete the circuit, thus causing the
phone to ring... Which demonstrates that some problems CAN be
fixed by pissing and moaning.”

“Cute joke, but not technically correct from an electrical standpoint.
Still, it's a good pun.”

“Dude, I bet you don't believe Icarus flew too close to the sun and fell in to the sea when his feathers came loose.”

“Especially since generally, the higher you fly, the colder it gets.”

“Infidel”

“bitpusher - You've tried it?

LOL.”

““Especially since generally, the higher you fly, the colder it gets.”

Not if the higher you fly, the closer you get to the sun.

Over-analysis gets ya every time!”

“Once you cross the halfway point between the eart and the sun are you are you still flying higher or are you now flying lower toward the sun?”

“What if you fly at night? Then you might end up flying towards Pluto or something.”

“the pluto in florida or california. Both are in warm regions, but I suppose you could have begun your flight somewhere closer to the equator.”

“New Horizons will take 10 years to get to Pluto, and that's with a gravity assist flying past Jupiter. Not a good choice.”

“NOBODY flies in a VACUUM...

and Bit's right...Rarified Air is colder.”

“hey now, one of the three witches in Hocus Pocus flew on a vacuum”

“Absolutely, air temperature drops 5.37 degrees F for every 1000 feet up on a standard day.”

“Glad my little joke could promote such rich discussion.”

That'd be just fine........long as you're careful not to get sucked into Uranus.......along the way.”

Than that means it's -2,636,884,762*F at the surface of the sun. Brrrrr!”

“And there you have it: the logical end for TT logic.”

“If they would just let TT run the world everything would be better.”

“...That'd be just fine........long as you're careful not to get sucked into Uranus.......along the way.”

dang, that's about the 4th time someone on here beat me to an uranis joke...i'm getting slow”

“If Uranis is slow, might I suggest this?
”

“... or not quite anally fixated enough.”

“hehehehehehe he said beat and uranis”

“Heh heh, I checked up and down before posting and was pleasantly surprised to see that I was on top of the Uranus joke!!

hmmmmm, that don't sound quite right....”

“In your case MarkO, we consider the source.”

“The source??

Uranus??”

“You have been considering the source of markO's uranis?”

“I see no feathers in uranis. I am disgusted by yet another TT thread devolution.”

“It's a bird......
It's a plane......


Naw, it's a bird

No grey hair in that photo!”

“Than that means it's -2,636,884,762*F at the surface of the sun.

That's like 2,636,884,303 degrees below absolute zero. Takes a special bag to keep warm on a night like that. It'd need it's own source of brownian motion.”
