ARTIFICIALLY INTELLIGENT

Blog Posted by John Lawless: 10/5/2024 6:56:00 AM

 

Once upon a time when I worked at a high school they had a KINDNESS DAY.  Suggestions on “acts of kindness” were posted.  One read…”HOLD THE DOOR FOR SOMEONE”.  I saw a group of students heading toward the cafeteria door and HELD THE DOOR.  They struggled against me shouting “what are you doing Mr. Lawless”.  I replied: “An act of kindness…The sign said  HOLD THE DOOR FOR SOMEONE…it didn’t say I had to hold it open.”

 

As I placed my order at McDonalds the server asked “do you want that here or to go.  I slyly responded:  “If I eat it here don’t I get to take it with me.”

 

When my kids and grandkids went to school I told them that if the teacher asks “how much is 1+1” to respond in a very surprised voice “YOU MEAN YOU DON’T KNOW”

 

Someone had been stealing drinks when the patrons went to the men’s room.  One “gentleman” left a note on his glass of stout…”I SPIT IN IT”.  When he returned from the men’s room he found another note that read…”SO DID I”.

 

OK,,,OK...JUST HAVIN' SOME FUN....

Sorry I accidentally deleted my comment. I had written another funny action from my son and decided not to post, so when I tried to delete it took the whole thing out.

I like 1 + 1 best. Don't you know? That works for almost anything a teacher asks.

Your levity is a welcome and much needed change from the redundant harping over AI. I will prefer human intelligence any day, especially if it's as funny as yours, John.
