Explanations are available, for a most modest consideration.

Four Europeans are on a wilderness trek and run out of food and water.

"I am so thirsty," says the Englishman, "I must have tea."

"I am so thirsty," says the Frenchman, "I must have wine."

"I am so thirsty," says the German, "I must have beer."

"I am so thirsty," says the Jew, "I must have diabetes."

Very cool! Strikes me as stereotypically French, but I'm just going on instinct with that. My education leaves a lot to be desired.

Very cool indeed.

(And the knowledge of French required isn't beyond what I needed to pass my foreign language exam as part of the process of becoming a docteur [en philosophie].)   ;)

Heard while in Cuba:

When the Pope visited Cuba recently he wanted a private tour of Havana, so the President sent him a limo and driver. It turns out that the Pope loved to drive, but he was never allowed to. Here was his chance! He asked the driver to sit in the back while he drove.

The Pope got excited while driving and went too fast - he was pulled over by a policeman. The cop looked at the man in the back and then at the driver.

"You are the Pope!"

"Yes"

"I must call my chief."

The cop calls in. "Chief, I stopped a limo for speeding but the passenger is very important and I do not know what to do."

"Who is the passenger?"

"I don't know."

"Then how do you know he is so important?"

"He's got the Pope as his chauffeur."

You can now get insurance for sex in the UK!
It's best to make sure you get the correct insurance for the type of sex you are having.

Please find below a list of companies below catering for most tastes:-
 
Sex with your wife - Legal & General
 
Sex on the telephone - Direct Line

Sex with your partner - Standard Life

Sex with someone different - Go Compare

Sex with a lady of generous proportions - More Than
 
Sex with a prostitute - Commercial Union

Sex with your maid - Employer's Liability

Sex with an old age pensioner - Saga

Sex resulting in pregnancy - General Accident

and finally…….
 
Sex with a transvestite - Confused.com

Make sure you are adequately covered!
 
I'm not sure about it -  I'm with a company by the name of  'One Call'  - and it doesn't work!

Apple has done it again!

Apple has today announced it has developed a chip that can store and play music in women's breast implants.

The new iTit wil cost between $ 499 and $ 699, depending on speaker size.

This is considered to be a major breakthrough because women have always complained about men staring at their breasts and not listening to them.

Maybe not, but you'd get a "no accident" or "safe driver" discount on any other policy ;)

When the equipment is not in use, most insurance companies offer now seasonal coverage. You can remove the traffic, liability and accident benefits insurance.

You are in luck, Slobodan

Quote
The National Science Foundation awarded Analysis & Inference two consecutive grants to find new statistical methods for classifying risks taken on by insurers. A+I statisticians conducted research on state-of-the-art statistical analysis, focusing on (Bayesian) "shrinkage" estimation, to determine better ways to form classes of risks and to estimate the probabilities and amounts of claims arising from the classes. The work was recognized in publications of articles in top statistical journals.

Some companies are very strict about this matter. For example, manager of a retail store is allowed only 1% shrinkage.
When it comes to insurance, some insurance companies announced shrinkage also in health insurance coverage.

Yes! Thermal underwear and a thick, wooly sock.

Well, made a lot of rock stars look larger than life, and at twelve, little girls believe anything.
