JOTD
One day a man decided to retire. He booked himself on a Caribbean cruise and proceeded to have the time of his life, that is, until the ship sank...
He soon found himself on an island with no other people, no supplies, nothing, only bananas and coconuts.
After about four months, he is lying on the beach one day when the most gorgeous woman he has ever seen rows up to the shore.
In disbelief, he asks, "Where did you come from? How did you get here?"
She replies, "I rowed over from the other side of the island where I landed when my cruise ship sank."
"Amazing," he notes. "You were really lucky to have a row boat wash up with you."
"Oh, this thing?" explains the woman. " I made the boat out of some raw material I found on the island. The oars were whittled from gum tree branches. I wove the bottom from palm tree branches, and the sides and stern came from an Eucalyptus tree."
"But, where did you get the tools?"
"Oh, that was no problem," replied the woman. " On the south side of the island, a very unusual stratum of alluvial rock is exposed. I found that if I fired it to a certain temperature in my kiln, it melted into ductile iron and I used that to make tools and used the tools to make the hardware."
The guy is stunned.
"Let's row over to my place," she says "and I'll give you a tour." So, after a short time of rowing, she soon docks the boat at a small wharf. As the man looks to shore, he nearly falls off the boat.
Before him is a long stone walk leading to a cabin and tree house.
While the woman ties up the rowboat with an expertly woven hemp rope, the man can only stare ahead, dumb struck.
As they walk into the house, she says casually, "It's not much, but I call it home. Please sit down." "Would you like a drink?"
"No! No thank you," the man blurts out, still dazed. "I can't take another drop of coconut juice."
"Oh, it's not coconut juice," winks the woman. "I have a still. How would you like a Tropical Spritz?"
Trying to hide his continued amazement, the man accepts, and they sit down on her couch to talk. After they exchange their individual survival stories, the woman announces,
" I'm going to slip into something more comfortable. Would you like to take a shower and shave? There's a razor in the bathroom cabinet upstairs.
No longer questioning anything, the man goes upstairs into the bathroom. There, in the cabinet is a razor made from a piece of tortoise bone. Two shells honed to a hollow ground edge are fastened on to its end inside a swivel mechanism.
"This woman is amazing," he muses. "What's next?"
When he returns, she greets him wearing nothing but some small flowers on tiny vines, each strategically positioned, she smelled faintly of gardenias. She then beckons for him to sit down next to her.
"Tell me," she begins suggestively, slithering closer to him, "We've both been out here for many months. You must have been lonely. When was the last time you played around? She stares into his eyes.
He can't believe what he's hearing. "You mean..." he swallows excitedly as tears start to form in his eyes,
"You've built a Golf Course too?"

So this city blonde goes to a barn
She asks the farmer: “Excuse me, why does that cow have no horns?”.
The farmer, being quite the expert on the matter, explained to her with great detail:
“Well m’am, there’s many reasons why some cows don’t have horns. Some breeds don’t have horns. For example: Angus cows don’t have horns. Another reason is that when you’ve been milking a cow for too long, their horns get very sensitive, so we remove them in a process that’s completely painless to the animal. And sometimes, when they’re calves, we don’t want them to grow horns so we put a little acid where the horns would grow and they never grow horns.
But the reason why THAT cow doesn’t have horns is because it’s a horse”.

Your odd historical factoid of the day. When it comes to "going over the top" and launching an assault we expect almost everyone to be mowed down in the first few seconds, since that is what every movie shows, including the legendary end of Blackadder Goes Forth.
While that did happen it was actually rare. The British were especially prone to this early in the war (only Italy surpasses Britain for poor military leadership in WWI) but by the stages of true trench warfare it was increasingly uncommon.
The truth is the first, and sometimes second, trench line were lightly fortified and had a fairly small number of soldiers present. So the assault always wins? Not quite... the problem was the inevitable counter attack.
The defenders, by now, have begun their artillery barrages and they aren't firing at troops that made it past "No Man's Land," they are firing behind them. Cutting down troops trying to move up to reinforce the gains and prevent supplies from going forward. What little defenses the front trench line had... faced the wrong way and the defenders could launch a massive counterattack. Whole Regiments could simply vanish as they were chewed up and spat out.
The problem wasn't the initial assault. It was the follow through that would get stalled.

He greets him and they start getting to know each other.
"So what do you do for a living, John?"
"Well I'm a logic professor"
"What's that?"
"Instead of telling you, it would be easier if I showed you. Do you own a dog house?"
"Yes, I do"
"Well then logically I can assume you own a dog"
"I do"
"And logically, I can assume that you have kids"
"Why yes, I do"
"And logically, I can assume that you have a wife"
"Yeah, I do"
"That's what I do for a living"
"Wow!" Bill exclaimed.
They talked for a little longer before parting ways. Bill continued on his walk when he saw his other neighbor, Liam.
"Hey Liam! Did you meet our new neighbor, John?"

"Well, he's a logic professor!"
