Ole & Sven


Ole & Sven died and were sent to hell. After a while the devil came by and noticed that Ole & Sven were still wearing their winter gear and seemed comfortable. The devil said to them, "why aren't you hot?" Ole replied, "We come from Minnesota where it's always cold. This is feeling pretty good to us."

This upset the devil - so he turned the thermostat up. A while later, the devil looked in on Ole and Sven. They were still wearing their winter gear! The devil questioned them again and Ole told the devil, "You have to remember we are from Minnesota and it is very, very cold there. This is feeling real nice to us."

The devil was really mad this time so he turned the thermostat all the way up to the maximum. The devil waited a while, then went back to visit Ole and Sven. This time they had unzipped their coats, but they still had all their winter clothes on. Part of the punishment in hell was supposed to be the unbearable heat - but it just wasn't working on these guys.

So, the devil asked Ole and Sven once more what the deal was. And once more, Ole told the devil, "We are Minnesotans and we just got over a freezing winter. This is really great for Sven and me." An idea flickered in the devil’s mind. He went to the thermostat and turned it as low as possible. He thought if the heat wasn't a punishment, then he'd just give them the opposite.

A little while later, the devil went back to check. There were Ole and Sven, whooping it up, giving each other high fives, happier than ever. "What is going on?" yelled the devil over the din. With a huge grin on his face Sven said, "Back home they always said, the Vikings will win the Super Bowl when hell freezes over!

A college professor, who was previously a sailor, was very aware that ships are addressed as "she" and "her". He often wondered in what gender computers should be addressed. To answer that question, he set up two groups of computer experts. The first was comprised of women, and the second of men. Each group was asked to recommend whether computers should be referred to in the feminine gender, or the masculine gender. They were asked to give 4 reasons for their recommendation. The group of women reported that the computers should be referred to in the masculine gender because: 1. In order to get their attention, you have to turn them on. 2. They have a lot of data but are still clueless. 3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they are the problem.  4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that, if you had waited a little longer you could have had a better model The men, on the other hand conc...
