My younger brother : "I don't mind vegetarians - it's people who don't eat meat who I can't stand"

Same brother, while working with some builders, was sent on a shop errand. One guy asked for 20 Marlboro, but if they don't have them get anything else.

He came back with a pork pie.
 
I always thought there was a difference between the shiny and matte side of aluminum foil. I just couldn't be bothered to go to wiki and prove it whilst at work :P
Seeing as so many people think it doesn't make a difference I might as well post it. There is a difference, even if small :)

This difference in the finish has led to the perception that favouring a side has an effect when cooking. While many believe that the different properties keep heat out when wrapped with the matte finish facing out, and keep heat in with the matte finish facing inwards, the actual difference is imperceptible without instrumentation.[7] The reflectivity of bright aluminium foil is 88% while dull embossed foil is about 80%.[4]

I will just call these two husband and wife.

A husband and his wife are in Portugal walking arm in arm down the beach at night. Suddenly his wife says hasn't Portugal got a lovely moon. For about 10 - 20 seconds the husband thinks he must have misheard. Then the husbands says hang on what did you just say. To which his wife repeated hasn't Portugal got a lovely moon. To cut it short the wife thought each country had their own moon.
 
a freind in school was bitchin that his well to do perants never buy him anything, then came out with the fact he has not even got a birthday suit.
 
I am going to admit to one I said this afternoon and I can't believe I said it.
I was looking through a female patients medical records and on the page it was full of 'testes' stuff.
I read it over & over and kept thinking a mistake had been made with this particular record but I was totally confused.
I actually walked into our Inquest Manager (who is also a fully qualified Nurse & Solicitor) and asked her if women had testes :eek:
She laughed and pointed at very small writing saying baby:male :)
 
I once tapped a friend on the head when I saw him out once and said hello....Only to realise it was some random bloke wondering who the hell I was :o
 
Last week....

A client called claiming that my email (the last he had received) had carried “trojans and stuff” that had ruined his email. He spent some time shouting unprofessionalism and billing me for the time it’s down. I asked him if the internet was down.

“Yeah, it hasn’t been on all morning. The router is off. Does the internet need to be on for email to work?”

See now...Depending on how his system is setup, internal email should work ;)
 
Few months ago some supermarket had their cheap own make energy drink on sale, friend of mine was drinking two 1 litre bottles a night mixing it with a bit of vodka. This went on for about a week and then I had the following conversation with her.

Her: Got a doctors appointment booked this afternoon
Me: Nothing serious I hope
Her: Dont think so, not been sleeping the past few days, just dont feel tired when I go to bed, then I dont sleep and ofc tired the whole of the next day
Me: Probably the 2 litres of energy drink you are having before you go to bed ;)
Her: Dont be silly

After the appointment

Her: Been given some sleeping tablets, doctor told me to lay off caffeine during the evenings but I only have a cup of coffee in the afternoon
Me: and the 2 lites of energy drink before you go to bed
her: *Sigh* its not that

Then had a couple of days of her saying tablets werent doing anything, was feeling tired after taking them but still couldnt sleep and felt worse in the morning. Couple days later and the energy drink is no longer on offer so she switches to cranberry juice with her vodka as that is on offer, suddenly as if by magic the sleeping tablets are working

This is when you slap them in the face, tell them to read the label, walk away, then they apologise = you win the girl, take her home.

It's to do with light diffusion rather than heat diffusion, and so it is not at all relevant in terms of cooking a foil wrapped item in an oven.
