It's not a meteorite until it hits the ground. Until then it's just a meteor, right?

So if you say that until a steak falls from outer space into the earth's atmosphere and meets the ground, it's not ground meat, are ya right?

One of the paint colors available on some models of Cessna Aircraft in the '80s was listed as meatier grey. I pointed it out to the engineering staff, but they said it was too costly to make an engineering change. I guess God and everybody has to approve ANY engineering change.

Re: We all love puns
A company I worked for was, according to Engineering News-Record, one of the top environmental engineering firms in the country. Every year we had a new t-shirt design based on some issue of environmental concern: endangered species, wetlands, drinking water, whatever. We all got one to wear at company picnics etc. Good quality: I still have some that are 30 years old which I use for painting and gardening.I guess God and everybody has to approve ANY engineering change.
One year (I don't have this one or I would post a pic) the shirt showed seven interlocking gear cogs in a ring. Each was labelled - design, project management, budgeting, regulatory approval etc - designed to show the interlocking phases of a project and how we would all work seamlessly together for the client. When the Executive Committee - 3/4 of which had engineering degrees - unveiled the shirt this chemist immediately pointed out that the gears would lock up. It literally took me half a second to see that. They had to get out the sharpies and draw arrows on it but eventually they agreed with me. I thought that they would withdraw the shirt and add a cog but no: it's fine, no-one will spot that. What MGM said.
I found this on line which gives you the flavor of the shirt.

People who are wrong are just as sure they're right as people who are right. The only difference is, they're wrong.

Somehow I don't think that was quite what they intended to evoke:
I figured the village idiot would appreciate it, given his recent interest in all things scatological.

Just a reminder ... if you use the wrong word but spell it correctly, spellcheck can't help you.

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

That poster should be an important lesson to everyone that you should always check your smelling fist before releasing a meme.

Did someone say "Idaho?" Hit it, Ezra...
Well, try to get this somnambulant lullaby out of your head.

Re: We all love puns
The very first record I ever purchased was a 78 (pre-vinyl) single of "Missouri Walz" played on a piano by Harry S. Truman.
That version is not on You Tube, but here is the official Missouri state song, played on the official state musical instrument, by the Missouri resident who also made the instrument.

You learn something new every day. I always thought the Missouri state instrument was one of these:

Did you hear the police are on the lookout for a psychic midget who is accused of defrauding his customers?
Yeah, there is a small medium at large.
