Prom night (8 pts)
A high school student asks his crush to the prom and to his delight, she says “yes”. But, he realizes he may have waited too long to ask because it is the week OF the prom. It’s actually about five days away. So the man goes to purchase tickets for the event and since it’s so close to prom night, the line to get tickets is rather long. After about 30 minutes, he finally gets the tickets. Next he goes to the tuxedo rental place and of course that line is long as well. So he waits for about 40 minutes and finally is able to get his tux. After that he goes to the flower shop to get her some flowers. Wouldn’t you know it, the flower shop line is long, too. Finally after about 30 minutes, he gets the flowers. Now all he needs is a limo. So he goes to the limo rental place and sure enough the line there is suuuuper long. After about an hour and a half wait, he’s finally able to secure a limo rental with a driver. Finally the big day rolls around and after an exhaustive week of standing...

Uh, Petah? Why only four candles in the picture? (10542 pts)

Top Comments:

[5648 pts] This is a reference to a rather famous episode of Star Trek where Picard is captured by an enemy and tortured. The Torturers only goal is to break Picard psychologically, so he shows him four lights. He demands Picard admit that there are FIVE lights. He tortures Picard for an extended period with sleep deprivation and other methods to get him to admit there are five lights, essentially forcing him to compromise his perception of reality to make the pain stop. Picard resists the torture and is eventually rescued via political means. While being escorted to safety, he screams at his captor one final time, THERE. ARE. FOUR. LIGHTS.
[253 pts] TNG Episode Chain of Command. Picard (Patrick Stewart) gets captured and tortured by a Cardassian. One method of trying to break him is by getting Picard to count the lights he sees. There are 4 lights, but the Cardassian tells him there are 5. When he answers "wrong", an implant causes him immense pain. Despite this, Picard defies him the entire time. It's one of the best episodes.

[Comment ](https://imgur.com/a/MPhVEib)on a NYT recipe for a Burmese chicken curry ([original recipe link](https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1021760-coconut-chicken-curry?unlocked_article_code=1.MlE.Op30.PeQoVcnLT1J6&smid=share-url)): "A Cantonese take on Thai. Very good, very bland. So I doubled & pounded the garlic, grated a 1 1/2" piece of ginger, used 3 tbsp fish sauce, used 2 tbsp of Thai red curry paste (not the cayenne) & 1 full tsp turmeric, added the zest of 1 lime, & sauteed in coconut oil. Also used good chicken stock instead of water, reducing the amount to 1 cup. Served with chopped cilantro & lime wedges. Delicious, though NOT as written." Who were the 1487 people who found this helpful?!

An Engineer was unemployed for a long time. (2153 pts)
He could not find a job so he opened a medical clinic and puts a sign up outside: “Get your treatment for $500, if not treated get $1,000.” One Doctor thinks this is a good opportunity to earn $1,000 and goes to his clinic. Doctor: “I have lost taste in my mouth.” Engineer: “Nurse, please bring medicine from box 22 and put 3 drops in the patient’s mouth.” Doctor: “This is Gasoline!” Engineer: “Congratulations! You’ve got your taste back. That will be $500.” The Doctor gets annoyed and goes back after a couple of days later to recover his money. Doctor: “I have lost my memory, I cannot remember anything.” Engineer: “Nurse, please bring medicine from box 22 and put 3 drops in the patient’s mouth.” Doctor: “But that is Gasoline!” Engineer: “Congratulations! You’ve got your memory back. That will be $500.” The Doctor leaves angrily and comes back after several more days.

[57 pts] A preacher, a philosopher and an engineer were discussing which is better, a wife or a mistress. The preacher said a wife is better for companionship and stability. The philosopher said a mistress is better for passion and romance.  The engineer said it's better to have both. They both think you're with the other, and you can get some serious work done at the lab.
[292 pts] This remains one of my Favorites- An engineer died and was mistakenly sent to hell. Well, being an engineer, he quickly became dissatisfied with the accomodations, so proceeded to redesign the place. Hell cooled down considerably thanks to the air conditioning he built and installed. The escalators and elevators worked just fine. Manual labor was quickly becoming a thing of the past. God looked down one day and noticed all the changes. He called down to the devil to ask how these improvements came about. The devil replied, “That engineer you sent me.” “What engineer? You’re not supposed to have an engineer. Send him back up here!” The devil answers back, “No way, I got him, and I’m keeping him.” “Look, either send him up, I’m gonna sue!” The devil replied, “Right! Where are YOU gonna to get a lawyer??!!!?”
[27 pts] During the French Revolution three guys, a butcher, a baker, and an engineer, were arrested for colluding with the enemy and sentenced to the guillotine. Execution day came and the butcher puts his head in the guillotine and it comes crashing down and stops 1 inch before his neck. Everyone in the crowd is stunned. It’s clearly an omen from God that he should not die. The exact same thing happens to the baker - the blade stops 1 inch above his neck and the crowd cheers this time and they decide that it’s an act of God and he should be set free. The engineer is called and the crowd is expecting the same. But the engineer stops just before he puts his head in and says “You know, there’s a loose bolt up there…”
A new prison arrival is dragged over to a cell and thrown in. His cellmate immediately comes over and says, "Listen. If you ever come close to me, I'll fucking skin you alive.

I used sines and trigonometry to measure it. Teacher: Very close but not quite right: Charlie. Charlie: 309 m and 6 cm. Teacher: That's amazing. Exactly right. How did you measure it?
