Blind Joke

[Anonymous Coward]

A blind man was seen waiting at a street corner with his guide dog. After a short wait the dog started leading the blind man across the street against the red light.

First a car comes screeching to a halt inches away from him, but still the dog leads on, then a bicyclist almost wipes them out and curses as he goes by. Finally in the last lane a truck swerves and barely misses them.

After they reach the far corner the blind man reaches in his pocket and pulls out a cookie and offers it to the guide dog. At this point another person who has watched the entire episode interrupts asking why he was rewarding the dog after the dog had endangered his life and almost got him run over by a car, bicycle and truck.

The blind man responded: "I'm not rewarding him, I'm just trying to find out which end is his head so I can kick him in the ass."

Best of all, they're not subject to things like..

Blind people use their fingers to "read" books. Now what's worse? seeing a picture of the goatse guy, or feeling it...

I'm sure the judge will take that into consideration.

I challenge them...

Another Blind Joke

[Anonymous Coward]

Two nuns are ordered to paint a room in the convent, and the last instruction of the Mother Superior is that they must not get even a drop of paint on their habits. After conferring about this for a while, the two nuns decide to lock the door of the room, strip off their habits, and paint in the nude. In the middle of the painting, there comes a knock at the door.

"Who is it?", calls one of the nuns.

"Blind man," replies a voice from the other side of the door.

The two nuns look at each other and shrug, and, deciding that no harm can come from letting a blind man into the room, they open the door.

"Hi, ladies, nice boobs" says the man, "where do you want these blinds?"

They are crackers, despite what they call themselves,

Looking at their photo they don't look very white to me.

CGI, HTML Programming Languages?

[nick_urbanik]

"I taught myself to program in all the languages: C, C++, Basic, Java, HTML, PHP, CGI.

I'm not as advanced. I know the Perl language, but I havn't learned the CGI language. Also, I still haven't learned how to write a loop in HTML.

>how to write a loop in HTML

create an IFRAME and make it point to itself ;)

/ps I know it doesn't work/

This just goes to show

Phreaking is only fun and games

And these super duper blind phreakers are so good they never got cau... um. I'm sure I've got a point here somewhere.

Ok, perhaps not :-)
