Wife: "What are you getting for your midlife crisis?"

 

Me: Can I get a Gibson SG 61?

 

"You don't want a girlfriend?"

 

I can get a girlfriend?

 

"I wouldn't blame you."

 

No, I want a Gibson SG 61.

 

"You'd rather have a new guitar than a girlfriend?"

 

If you think I'm not getting a mistress, you've never seen a Gibson SG 61.

 

 

 

Oh yeah, plus, of course...

 

 

 

 

I would have went with Mk13 Mod 7

I wrote computer models of this - colliding galaxies - in college for research.  Had them running on an IBM PCjr, of all things.

 

Had I got my PhD, this is what I would have studied.

Another note: you know how you distinguish between stars and galaxies in a deep sky photo like that?  Diffraction spikes - reflecting telescopes always have diffraction, most evident in point sources like stars.  And Webb's hexagonal mirror layout and secondary support struts cause the eight-spike pattern you see in the two brightest stars in the top right.

 

So stars are easy to identify.  If you blow that picture up, you can easily count the stars.  There's five.  Two in the top right, three in the bottom left and center.

 

Every other object you see in that is a galaxy.

What, you didn't have a Banana Junior 6000?  Neither did Gene Simmons, and see how HE turned out.

Cow-orker: "I can't install this software."

 

Me: Here's the installation instructions.

 

"I know.  I can't use them."

 

Why not?

 

"My keyboard has defective keys."

 

Did you get a new keyboard?

 

"No..."

 

Then call your help desk and tell them your keyboard has a defective user.

Loose nickels or rolled nickels?
