wait, why do ppl leave jokes PERIOD on leehom's message board?
semi-knowing leehom's sense of humour (it's very similar to my tops guy friends'), i don't think he wouldn't find 'em very funny....
So, here's one "joke" someone posted:
Question - Why are the covers on the sewers round?
Answer - They have to be round because any other shapes would allow the cover to fall through the manhole.
Um... I don't get it. Elly and i googled it, and went to the same site at the same time.
But then i Wiki-ed it, here's what it says:
The question of why manhole covers are typically round, at least in the U.S.,
was made notorious by Microsoft, and Tony Martinez when they began asking it as
a job-interview question. Originally meant as a psychological assessment
of how one approaches a question with more than one "right" answer, the problem
exerts a strange fascination on people, who seek to find alternate explanations,
from the pragmatic and satirical to the philosophical.
Ok then.... so why is this such a funny "joke"?? It was an interview question to test HOW you approach the question, and there there IS more than one "right" answer. So then, whoever gave that answer of "they have to be round because any other shape would fall though", wouldn't that just make 'em seem very single-minded?? just my opinion....
anyway, that chika posted that answer so determined-ly... as if that was the only answer, nad that that answer made it sooooooooooo incredily funny.... she should check out her sources first... I'm sure leehom's sittin' there going: but... triangles can't fall thru either, like i did. :P
(there are also some really mean jokes!!!! more than half these ppl dunno english very well, so their sense of humour is really warped! like, hello, maybe u shouldn't post dumb jokes, at all??!!)
Yes, lame joke, but I heard a good answer for it before. I just don't remember it.
ReplyDeleteI think my answer would be: because it looks better than any other shapes!
