Joke of the Week

Car Accident Woman

A husband gets a phone call from the hospital saying that his wife has been involved in a car accident and she's in a coma. He rushes to the hospital to be by her bedside and there he remains for over a week while the doctors are giving up hope but after being there for so long he was getting rather frisky so waits for the doctor to finish his checks and leave the room and his slips his hand under the covers and strokes his wife's leg when he thinks he sees her finger twitch.

So he strokes her inner thigh moving upwards and he hears his wife moan. He rushes out of the room yelling for the doctor and tells him that what happened. The doctor takes him aside and suggests that if he tries oral sex, it may be bring his wife round and that he'll keep everyone out of the room so they can have some privacy.

The husband excitedly goes into his wife's room and the doctors and nurses wait patiently outside in the corridor. A few minutes later the guy comes out looking pale, the doctor says "What's the matter?"

"She's dead"

"Well didn't you do as I suggested?"

"Yes Doctor but she choked!"

JoeInterview's Member Feature

This week's interview features peledavid16. This interview was conducted by travbowman.

JoeInterview: First off, how did you find YT?

peledavid16: Through bored.com originally. I spent a few weeks lurking around the question forum, then created this account and started posting.

JI: What would you say is the biggest reason you keep coming back for more?

PD16: It seems to be the only answer ever given but it must be the people on the site. I like how there are a diverse range of people here. Even when there's nobody on who I talk to much, I can still find threads which interest me.

JI: You're about to come up on 6 years at this site. How have you changed the most in that time?

PD16: I've became a lot more outgoing. I joined as a very introspective teenager. I did have friends at school, but I was never one to suggest what we would do. Now I love meeting new people, and always like talking about different things with people.

JI: What takes up the majority of your time these days?

PD16: Well I've started working full time, so that takes up quite a lot. Apart from that, just the usual stuff. TV, YT, computer games, reading and so on.

JI: Describe your job to us.

PD16: I work in a call centre for the British tax service. Mainly dealing with a payment we pay out towards people in the UK. Is difficult at times, but I enjoy it.

JI: What would be your dream job?

PD16: I don't think I have one. I'd love to be independently wealthy so I could just work as and when I want to.

JI: What music has been getting the most spin from you lately?

PD16: I rarely buy any music at all, so all I get is music from the radio when in my car. Last CD I bought was a Sigur Ros one I believe.

JI: Whose sense of humour gets you to laugh every time you read/watch/hear it?

PD16: Quite a lot of people. I've spent the past four years in Edinburgh so I've had many chances to see comedians at the Comedy Festival there. Best I've seen is a comedian called Mark Watson, but I've enjoyed many other performances from all the top British comedians.

Apart from live comedy, I also love Radio 4 comedy programmes, such as Just A Minute or I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue. And I also liked the radio and book versions of Hitchhiker's Guide, which both made me hoot with laughter.

JI: What'd you think of the film adaptation of Hitchhiker's Guide a few years ago?

PD16: About the same as I feel about the TV adaptation. Isn't as good as the other forms of it, but still enjoybale.

JI: When at the pub, what's your drink of choice?

PD16: Depends on how I feel, but I usually have some ale when at the pub. I'm also partial to a whisky, vodka or Cointreau!

JI: When did your love of maths start?

PD16: I always loved figures when younger, and as I got older I started to love the logic behind how maths works. It is a field which seems more wonderous the further you study it.

JI: Do people always come to you when they need help with figures?

PD16: Depends on the situation. My family and a few of my friends do. But a lot of my friends also studied maths or related fields, so they generally work it out themselves.

JI: What's the best way to spend a weekend?

PD16: Drinking with friends. Best weekend I've had this year was back in Febuary. Bottle of wine watching TV on Friday night. Scotland Rugby match on the Saturday with my dad who'd got some corporate tickets (so free bar and food). Then Saturday night spent drinking and dancing to cheesy music all night with a friend. Then Sunday night spent playing pool in the pub with friends. I think the key is just drinking a lot of different types of alcohol...

JI: Give the American YTers a quick crash-course on rugby. We're usually pretty clueless about the sport.

PD16: Haha, they changed the rules last year and I'm still baffled occasionally when watching it. The form of rugby I watch is Rugby Union, which has teams of fifteen trying to score tries. That's done by getting the ball to the opponents ends by running it, kicking it forward to chase, or passing backwards to try to find more space. I'm sure a better, more concise explanation can be attached by someone more knowledgable in the thread this is attached to.

JI: You get to meet any three YTers anywhere you want. Who's there and where are you?

PD16: Ooh, so many people to disappoint with this question. I'd choose Spacepeanut, Ongooshk and Kyry. And I'd arrange for it to be somewhere warm, with lots of free alcohol.

JI: If Buddy decided to sell YT to you for a dollar, what would be the first thing you would change?

PD16: I'm moved the time back three hours, so we're on Pacific time again. Not entirely sure why, but I'm pretty sure I'd do that first. Then I'd probably just have a snoop around everyone's PMs.

JI: What's your most prized possession and why?

PD16: Baddo, my teddy bear. Purely for sentimental reasons. Got him as a baby from my mum. So had him a good 22 years now.

JI: What's your forte in the kitchen?

PD16: I rarely take the time to cook properly, normally I'll stick to something that can just be shoved in the microwave/oven. When I was at university I had a couple of friends who loved to cook, so a lot of the time I went to theirs and got food in exchange for wine.

JI: What does family mean to you?

PD16: A lot. I'm very close to my immediate family. We were all out for my sister's 20th birthday last night, and had a great time just reminising about the past.

JI: Any final words of wisdom you would like to share with your fellow YTers?

PD16: Yes. Spent enough time here and one day even YOU may be interviewed.

Featured Article of the Week

love at first byte (part 1)
Excerpt: He was so different than any other guy she had ever talked to. He didn’t bring up sex or drugs, just rock and roll. And love. Politics. Whatever came up between the two of them, the conversations could go on for hours in the middle of the night.
