If Technology teaches us anything...
Sometimes, the tried and tested ways are best.

“What are you?” asked the cat.
“I’m a gnome. I steal food from humans. I kill their plants, and I raise a ruckus at night to drive them crazy. I just love mischief! And what, may I ask, are you?”
The cat thought for a moment and said, “I guess i’m a gnome.”

Good job my hearing is becoming problematic @pgn 😂

The Federal Aviation Authority is responsible for certifying aircraft as "safe", safe to be flown and safe to travel in as passengers.
The FAA has a unique device for testing windshield strength on aeroplanes: it’s a gun that fires a dead chicken at a plane’s windshield at about the same speed the plane flies.
The theory is that if the windshield doesn’t crack from the impact,
it could survive a real collision
with a bird during flight.
British railway engineers wanted to try the device to test a new high-speed locomotive they were developing, so they borrowed the FAA’s chicken launcher, set up the test area, loaded a chicken, and fired.
The bird not only shattered the windshield but also went through the driver’s chair, shattered an instrument panel and embedded itself in the back wall of the locomotive cab.
The stunned testing team leader asked the FAA to re-check the procedure to see if they had missed something.
The FAA reviewed the test thoroughly and came back with just one recommendation:
“Thaw the bird out first.”

A guy and his wife went to a Texas dude ranch for vacation and arrived just in time for dinner. The next morning a cowboy preparing the horses for a ride out into the country asked the wife if she wanted a Western or an English saddle, and she asked what the difference was.
He told her one had a horn and one didn't.
She replied, "The one without the horn is fine. I don't expect we'll run into too much traffic."

The other night I watched an Aussie cooking show. The audience cheered when the chef made meringue.
I was surprised. Usually they boo meringue.

Typical woman...though I did fear there would be something else said about the saddle with the horn 😂
