Che Guevara became governor of Cuba's national bank after he mistakenly put up his hand up at a post-revolution meeting, to the question "Is there an economist in the room?" He had misheard the question as "Is there a communist in the room?"

Edit: Andrew thinks this is a stupid joke, but I insisted otherwise. 'I found it in the news!'

He grinned condescendingly and asked, 'This wasn't The Onion, by any chance, was it?'

'No, it was the BBC!' I told him.

He doesn't believe me. So, here it is. Along with some other silly stuff. Take that, Andrew.

Good thing they weren't looking for someone to test bullit-proof vests.

Heh. Funny. Although the number 7 in that top 10 list is rather silly as well.

According to 7, 4 out of 5 risky sex acts are undertaken without a condom. What do they define as 'risky' sex? Amongst other things, *sex without a condom*

But I shall leave you with a geek joke...

Two hydrogen atoms walk into a bar. They order their drinks and start talking. "I lost my electron yesterday" the first atom said to the second, "Are you sure?" the second responded.

"Yup, I'm postive" said the first.

A mathematician, a physicist and an engineer are each given a red rubber ball and asked to find its volume.
The mathematician measures its diameter, performs a simple triple integral, and gets the right answer.
The physicist immerses it in water, notes how much is displaced, and gets the right answer.
And the engineer looks up the model and serial number in his red-rubber-ball table.

That reminded me of an old IBM joke from the mainframe days...

How many IBM field technicians does it take to change a flat tire?

5. Four to lift the car, and one to swap tires until he finds the flat one.
