Toilet Seat
It isn't widely known, but the first toilet seat was invented by a Polish scientist in the 18th century. The invention was later modified by a Jewish inventor who put a hole in the seat.

Ten Commandments
The real reason that we can't have the Ten Commandments in a Courthouse! You cannot post "Thou Shalt Not Steal," "Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery" and "Thou Shall Not Lie" in a building full of lawyers, judges and politicians! It creates a hostile work environment.

Zero Gravity
When NASA first started sending up astronauts, they quickly discovered that ball-point pens would not work in zero gravity. To combat this problem, NASA scientists spent a decade and $12 billion developing a pen that writes in zero gravity, upside-down, on almost any surface including glass and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to over 300 C. The Russians used a pencil. Your taxes are due again--enjoy paying them.

Our Constitution
"They keep talking about drafting a Constitution for Iraq. Why don't we just give them ours? It was written by a lot of really smart guys, it's worked for over 200 years and we're not using it anymore."

All very funny. And sadly I fear true.

And did you know that Mr. Crapper invented the first toilet? this is disputed, but Mr. Crapper was a plumber that built early flush toilets at least

This forum needs more jokes. here's two good ones I heard last week.

1)A man walks into bar with some jumper cables thrown over his neck. He goes up to the bar tender and asks for a drink. The bar tender say, "OK, but don't start anything!"

2)A blonde, brunette, and red-head are taking a hike when the blonde sees some tracks. The blonde says, "Those are rabbit tracks". The brunette says, "Those are deer tracks". The red-head says, "Those are bear tracks".

While the three of them are arguing about what kind of tracks they are, they are all tragically killed when they get hit by a train!-LOL
