The Fearless Ukrainian Volunteer Fire Dept.

One dark night outside Mundare, a small town east of Edmonton Alberta, a fire started inside the local sausage plant and quickly exploded into a massive inferno. The alarm went out to all the fire departments from miles around. When the local volunteer fire fighters appeared on the scene, the sausage company president rushed to the fire chief and said, "All of our secret formulas are in the vault in the center of the plant. They must be saved, and I will give $50,000 to the fire department that brings them out intact." But the roaring flames held the firefighters off.

Soon more fire departments from surrounding towns had to be called in as the situation became desperate. As more firefighters arrived, the president shouted out that the offer was now $100,000 to the fire department who could bring out the company's secret files. But the fierce flames still held all of them back.

Then, from a distance, a lone siren was heard as yet one more fire truck came into sight. It was the nearby rural Smoky Lake Township Volunteer Fire Department composed mainly of Ukrainians over the age of 65.
To everyone's amazement, the little run-down fire engine operated by the Ukrainian volunteers roared right past all the newer sleek engines parked outside the plant and, with out even slowing down, drove straight into the middle of the inferno.
Outside, the other firemen watched in awe as the Ukrainian old timers quickly jumped off the engine and began to furiously fight the fire from the inside with speed and effort they'd never seen before. Within a short time, the Smoky Lake old-timers had extinguished the fire and saved the secret formulas.
The grateful sausage company president joyfully announced that, for such a superhuman feat, he was upping the reward to $200,000, and walked over to personally thank each of the brave, though exhausted, Ukrainian firefighters. After capturing the incredible event on tape, the Edmonton TV news reporters rushed over to the brave Ukrainians asking, "What are you going to do with all that money?"

"Vell," said Nick Sputski, the 70-year-old fire chief, "I can tell you dat da furst thing vee gonna do is fix da brakes on dat ****ed trock."

What has happened to this thread? I used to enjoy it so much. Doesn't any one have anything to share?

Good, I like my jokes short and sweet.

Three men are bragging as they are wont to do. The first says his son is now working at home because of the current conditions. He says his son has really sweet computer setup with a high powered workstation and three 24 inch monitors arranged in front of him. He has this because he will have up to 7 windows open at a time and needs the space. The second man says his daughter has been working from home for over a year. She has a high powered analytical job and has four 35 inch 4K curved monitors because she needs lots of real estate space and fine definition for numerous spreadsheets. She may have have up to 12 windows open at one time. The third man says my wife has been working from home for 35 years and she doesn't have any windows open because it is wintertime.
Cheers
