"Well,first i put the gun to my chest,then thought '"Wait I have a 500 dollar воов job,and don't want to mess it up", then I put the gun to my сhin, and thought "well, I just got new dental work done, don't want that messed up", so I put the gun to my ear,and then thought, it will be really loud, so I put my hand between the gun and my ear and pulled the trigger!"

During the French revolution, hundreds of people were guillotined. One day, three men were led up to die. One was a lawyer, one was a doctor, and the third was an engineer.
The lawyer was to die first. He was led to the guillotine, the attending priest blessed him, and he knelt with his head on the guillotine. The blade was released, but stopped halfway down its path.
The priest, seeing an opportunity, quickly said,
"Gentlemen, God has spoken and said this man is to be spared; we cannot кill him." The executioner agreed, and the lawyer was set free.
The doctor was next. He was blessed by the priest, then knelt and placed his head down. The blade was released, and again stopped halfway down.
Again the priest intervened:
"Gentlemen, God has again spoken; we cannot кill this man." The executioner agreed and the doctor was set free.
At last it was the engineer's turn. He was blessed by the priest, and knelt, but before he placed his head on the guillotine he looked up. Suddenly, he leapt to his feet and cried, "Oh, I see the problem!"

All the brainy people that are making the technology and advancing things, they don't have any common sense... You always hear people get fooled by, like, car companies. 'Yeah, I got the new car. It's really safe, you know, because they crashed it in the wall with the test dummies, so it's safe.' That's not foolproof. You know why? Because crash test dummies don't tense up before impact. Let me tell you something, 'til they get a crash test duммy to go, 'Sh*t!' before it hits the wall, not doin' us any good.
