Miscellaneous (Original jokes, one-liners, flash fiction...)
Dolphin intelligence
Dolphins’ brains are large and sophisticated. They learn fast, use advanced communication systems and live in complex social networks. They play, make plans together and cooperate with one another to hunt, protect themselves and raise their offspring. Dolphins feel empathy and demonstrate altruism. Together, they take care of injured or sick podmates. Did you know that dolphins call one another by name? Researchers have found that a relatively stupid male (yes, some can be stupid in that species too) who was the leader of a pod once said to a female: “Quiet, Piggy”.
He was immediately expelled from the pod and replaced by the female he had insulted.
HR
My sister is in charge of Human Resources at the Louvre museum. Her job title is Talent Manager.
Unsure Shoes
You know those shoes that have shoelaces and a zipper? I think the people who wear them are indecisive. I wouldn’t hire someone who shows up with shoes like that at a job interview to be, say, an air traffic controller.
Supersonic
I can’t wait till cars go supersonic. Not for the speed, no. For the honking. Supersonic cars will take honking to a new dimension. There would be no point in honking the car in front of you because you'd get there before the sound of your horn. When you honk, the car behind you would hear it. And bumper stickers would be on the front bumper. You’d look in your rear-view mirror and see a bumper sticker that says ‘Honk if you love Jesus’. Or ‘Honk if you believe climate change is a hoax, if you don’t give a shit about the Paris Accord and you want more and more oil drilling, even in national parks’.
Mind you, that's a pretty long bumper sticker to read in your mirror, especially if you're driving at supersonic speed on a country road.
Marathon
Do you realize that the Greek soldier who ran the very first marathon in 490 BC to tell the king, the queen, the Prime Minister (or whoever was in charge in Athens) that they had beaten the living daylights out of the Persians at the battle of Marathon didn’t have ANY competition?
He wins the marathon. He’s running by himself! HELLO?!? How easy was that?
