My neighbour works in the I.T. department in the central office of a large bank. Employees in the field call him when they have problems with their computers. One night he got a call from a woman in one of the branches who had this question:

"I`ve got smoke coming from the back of my terminal. Do you guys have a fire downtown?"

Police in Dubbo NSW interrogated a suspect by placing a metal colander on his head and connecting it with wires to a photocopier machine. The message "He`s lying" was placed in the copier, and police pressed the copy button each time they thought the suspect wasn`t telling the truth.

Believing the "lie detector" was working, the suspect confessed.

Life is tough... It`s tougher if you`re stupid
