The Ostrich
Working patterns are constantly evolving. We gradually spend more time in our working environments, and this in turn means that we often need to make work and rest fully compatible within the same space. Some cultures have assimilated this concept more naturally than others, but in general the workplace has rarely adapted to this new working-resting paradigm.
The Ostrich offers a micro environment in which to take a warm and comfortable power nap at ease. It is neither a pillow nor a cushion, nor a bed, nor a garment, but a bit of each at the same time. Its soothing cave-like interior shelters and isolates our head and hands for a few minutes, without needing to leave our desk.

It's all in where you're coming from.
A mathematician, a biologist and a physicist are sitting in a street cafe watching people going in and coming out of the house on the other side of the street. First they see two people going into the house. Time passes. After a while they notice three persons coming out of the house.
The physicist: "The measurement wasn't accurate."
The biologist: "They have reproduced."
The mathematician: "If now exactly one person enters the house then it will be empty again."

Obama’s car gets stuck at US Embassy in Dublin
It’s one of the most protective cars in the world. It’s bomb-proof, it has bullet-proof glass, and its own oxygen supply. But a teeny weeny ramp at the US Embassy in Dublin caused the President’s car to ‘beach’, causing the crowds waiting outside to gasp in surprise.
The low bottom of the car, nicknamed ‘The Beast’ because of its bomb-proof features, seemed to catch on a ramp crossing over the gateway. US security services later denied it was ‘The Beast’ that got stuck, saying ‘it was a spare limo, carrying staff and support personnel.’

The Rites
An orthodox Jewish rabbi is walking by a Catholic church and sees the whole congregation going in. It’s not Sunday so he wonders what’s going on. He walks in & sits down right in front and with great interest watches the solemn ceremony going on.
After the ceremony is over & the congregation is filing out, the priest stops the rabbi and asks, “Rabbi what were you doing here during this ceremony? This is a very solemn Catholic rite where the young women are being inducted into the nunnery. The vows they take here are the vows that wed them to Christ. The people here are the families of these young initiates who are devoted to Christ. What right do you have to be here?"
“Well,” says the rabbi, “I’m from the groom’s side.”

The Perfrect Shot
Dave stood over his tee shot on the 450 yard 18th hole for what seemed an eternity. He waggled, looked up, looked down, waggled again, but didn't start his back swing.
Finally his exasperated partner asked, "What is taking so long?"
"My wife is watching me from the clubhouse balcony," Dave explained. "I want to make a perfect shot."
"Good lord," his companion exclaimed. "You don't have a snowball's chance in hell of hitting her from here."

Dead Man
Perhaps you've heard of the man who thought he was dead? In reality he was very much alive. His delusion became such a problem that his family finally paid for him to see a psychiatrist.
The psychiatrist spent many laborious sessions trying to convince the man he was still alive.
Nothing seemed to work.
Finally the doctor tried one last approach. He took out his medical books and proceeded to show the patient that dead men don't bleed. After hours of tedious study, the patient seemed convinced that dead men don't bleed.
"Do you now agree that dead men don't bleed?" the doctor asked.
"Yes, I do," the patient replied.
"Very well, then," the doctor said.
He took out a pin and pricked the patient's finger. Out came a trickle of blood. The doctor asked, "What does that tell you?"
"Oh my goodness!" the patient exclaimed as he stared incredulously at his finger ... "Dead men do bleed!!"

Teacher Bribe
A professor was giving a big test one day to his students. He handed out all of the tests and went back to his desk to wait.
Once the test was over the students all handed the tests back in. The professor noticed that one of the students had attached a $100 bill to his test with a note saying "A dollar per point."
The next class the professor handed the graded tests back out.
This student got back his test, his test grade, and $64 change.
