Am scris ca am o colectie impresionanta de glume, majoritatea in engleza. Cea de mai jos, citita azi in http://www.wwrecipes.com/current.htm m-a facut sa rad cu hohote (ca tot e la moda paranormalul, cine ma cunoaste stie ca e vorba de autoironie) deci o sa pun intai textul in engleza, apoi o sa-l traduc.
An engineer, a physicist, a mathematician, and a mystic were asked to name the greatest invention of all times. The engineer chose fire, which gave humanity power over matter. The physicist chose the wheel, which gave humanity the power over space. The mathematician chose the alphabet, which gave humanity power over symbols. The mystic chose the thermos bottle.
"Why a thermos bottle?" the others asked.
"Because the thermos keeps hot liquids hot in winter and cold liquids cold in summer."
"Yes, so what?"
"Think about it." said the mystic reverently. "That little bottle, how does it know?"
Un inginer, un fizician si un mistic au fost intrebati care e cea mai mare inventie a tuturor timpurilor. Inginerul a les focul, care a dat umanitatii putere asupra materiei. Fizicianul a ales roata, care a dat umanitatii putere asupra spatiului. Matematicianul a ales alfabetul, care a dat umanitatii putere asupra simbolurilor. Misticul a ales termosul.
"De ce termosul ? au intrebat ceilalti."
"Pt ca termosul pastreza lichidele fierbinti iarna si reci vara"
"Si ce-i cu asta?"
" Ganditi-va, a spus misticul cu adanc respect: cum de stie asta o sticluta?"
