Gmail Winners
posted on june 22, 2004, tag: web
I was surprised by how many people emailed me but couldn't think of a joke. I was also surprised by how many people sent me the same jokes. All in all, it was fun.
I'm giving the best joke award to Jenna Pfister, for the following joke which is simple but caught me off guard and made me snicker:
Q: Why does Snoop Dogg carry an umbrella?
A: Fo' drizzle.
The two random invitations went to Richard Chamberlain and Will Croft. I chose them randomly by putting all the names into a PHP array and used array_rand() to pull out 2 people.
Congrats to the three of you, and enjoy your Gmail accounts. I'll do this again if I get more invitations.

Sorry, I don't get that joke at all... is it an American thing that only works with the accent, or am I just being dense?
This one I get...
Bloke walks into the Vets with a hampster...
Bloke - 'Doc, there's something wrong with my hampster, it's not moving and has gone cold?'
Vet - 'Let me have a look here, hmmm, seems to be dead...'
Bloke - 'Noooo! Not scruffy, he's been with me for years and always pulls through any illness - can I get a second opinion or something?'
Vet - 'Sure, hang on'
...Vet walks out of room, returns with a cat under his arm, places it on the table next to the hampster... the cat looks the hanpster up and down, sniffs it a bit, then looks at the Vet and shakes it's head... Vet picks up cat, walks out of room and returns with a black Labridor dog, who goes through the same procedure before shaking it's head sadly at the vet and sauntering out...
Vet - 'Nope, definately dead'
Bloke - 'I suppose I can't argue with that, how much do I owe you?'
Vet - 'That'll be £250 please'
Bloke - '£250!!!! - how come?'
Vet - 'Well, my time is only £25, but with a Cat scan and a Lab report....'
Wa wa waaaahhhhh ;o)
