The white child

An American professor is sent to darkest Africa to live with a primitive tribe.

He spends years with them, teaching them reading, writing, math, and science.

One day the wife of the tribe’s chief gives birth to a white child. The members of the tribe are shocked, so the chief pulls the professor aside and says, “Look here! You’re the only white man we’ve ever even seen and now this woman gives birth to a white child. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out what happened!”.

The professor replies, “Chief, you’re mistaken. What you have here is a natural occurrence — what we in the civilized world call an albino! Look in that field over there”, the professor says, pointing. “All of the sheep are white except for that one black one there by the tree. Nature does this on occasion”.

The chief was thoughtfully silent for a moment, then says, “Tell you what. You don’t say anything more about the sheep and I won’t say anything more about the baby”.

Change someone’s monitor display

The Ctrl-Alt-Direction key sequence is supposed to be used for changing your workspace. On my computer at work it changes the screen orientation.

Ctrl-Alt-Up – right side up

Ctrl-Alt-Right – 90 degrees

Ctrl-Alt-Down – 180 degrees

Ctrl-Alt-Left – 270 degrees

Not that I would, but people who leave their computer’s unattended need to have this happen to them. Often.

Trip to the Doctor

A man decides to take the opportunity while his wife is away to paint the toilet seat.

The wife comes home sooner than expected, sits, and gets the seat stuck to her rear. She is understandably distraught about this and asks her husband to drive her to the doctor.

She puts on a large overcoat so as to cover the stuck seat, and they go.

When they get to the doctor’s, the man lifts his wife’s coat to show their predicament. The man asks, “Doctor, have you ever seen anything like this before?”

“Well, yes,” the doctor replies, “but never framed.”
