Q: What was the first computer company to start in a garage?

A: On April 14,1968, brothers Hugh and Steve Madigril started the New American Computer Engineering Company in their parents' garage.

On April 15, 1968, their father, Bryce, left his home to go to his job at At&T. Upon entering his garage, he found his car running and his two sons dead.

Years later, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak started the first computer company in a garage that kept the garage door open.

At the end of his life, Bryce Madigril would tell anyone who would listen that his sons "almost started Apple Computers, if they hadn't been total idiots." Then he would down another glass of scotch and stare off into the distance, muttering to himself.

Q: What does a woman wearing a wedding ring on middle finger of the left hand mean?

A: Either her husband is dead or she works closely with fireworks. Probably a combination of both. Now is the time to make your move!

Don't lead with any anecdotes about fireworks.

Or dead husbands jokes.

Simply court her the old fashioned way.

Have a friend distract her while you slip a mickey in her drink.

Q: Why choose banking after engineering?

A: In the world of banking, you can make mistake after mistake after mistake and still make boatloads of money.

It's not the same for engineers. One mistake and it's all over.

But I don't have to tell you that. You are the one who designed that bridge, not me.

Q: What did Lincoln do before he delivered the Gettysburg Address?

A: He looked in the mirror and said "You're a star. You're a star. You're a bright, shining star."

Then he tucked his giant, prosthetic penis back into his pants.

Q: What are three benefits of science?

1. Works better than faith when it comes to solving math problems.
2. Awesome lab coats.
3. Easy access to eye wash stations. Churches frown on cleaning your eyes with holy water, no matter how much Jesus you got on your face.
