Jake is struggling through a bus station with two huge and
obviously heavy suitcases when a stranger walks up to him and asks
"Have you got the time?"
Jake sighs, puts down the suitcases and glances at his wrist. "It's a
quarter to six," he says.
"Hey, that's a pretty fancy watch!" exclaims the stranger. Jake
brightens a little.
"Yeah, it's not bad. Check this out" - and he shows him a time zone
display not just for every time zone in the world, but for the 86
largest metropolises.
He hits a few buttons and from somewhere on the watch a voice says
"The time is eleven 'til six" in a very West Texas accent. A few more
buttons and the same voice says something in Japanese. Jake continues
"I've put in regional accents for each city". The display is
unbelievably high quality and the voice is simply astounding.
The stranger is struck dumb with admiration. "That's not all", says
Jake. He pushes a few more buttons and a tiny but very
high-resolution map of New York City appears on the display. "The
flashing dot shows our location by satellite positioning," explains
Jake.
"View recede ten", Jake says, and the display changes to show eastern
New York state.
"I want to buy this watch!" says the stranger.
"Oh, no, it's not ready for sale yet; I'm still working out the
bugs", says the inventor.
"But look at this", and he proceeds to demonstrate that the watch is
also a very creditable little FM radio receiver with a digital tuner,
a sonar device that can measure distances up to 125 meters, a pager
with thermal paper printout and, most impressive of all, the capacity
for voice recordings of up to 300 standard-size books, "though I only
have 32 of my favorites in there so far" says Jake.
"I've got to have this watch!", says the stranger.
"No, you don't understand; it's not ready -"
"I'll give you $1000 for it!"
"Oh, no, I've already spent more than -"
"I'll give you $5000 for it!"
"But it's just not -"
"I'll give you $15,000 for it!" And the stranger pulls out a
checkbook.
Jake stops to think. He's only put about $8500 into materials and
development, and with $15,000 he can make another one and have it
ready for merchandising in only six months. The stranger frantically
finishes writing the check and waves it in front of him. "Here it is,
ready to hand to you right here and now. $15,000. Take it or leave
it."
Jake abruptly makes his decision. "OK", he says, and peels off the
watch.
They make the exchange and the stranger starts happily away. "Hey,
wait a minute", calls Jake to the stranger, who turns around warily.
Jake points to the two suitcases he'd been trying to wrestle through
the bus station. "Don't forget your batteries."
KISS THAT FROG:
A man was crossing a road one day when a frog called out to him and
said: "If you kiss me, I'll turn into a beautiful princess." He bent
over, picked up the frog, and put it in his pocket.
The frog spoke up again and said, "If you kiss me and turn me back into
a beautiful princess, I will be your loving companion for an entire
week." The man took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it and
returned it to his pocket.
The frog cried out, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a beautiful
princess, I'll stay with you for a year and do ANYTHING you want!"
Again the man took the frog out, smiled at it and returned it to his
pocket.
Finally the frog asked, "What is the matter? I've told you I'm a
beautiful princess, that I'll stay with you for a year and do anything
that you want. Why won't you kiss me?"
The man said, "Look, I'm an engineer. I don't have time for a
girlfriend, but a talking frog is cool."

PROVE ANYTHING:
Methods for getting people to believe you (as good as, if not better
than, proof). A collection of proof techniques that will prove
invaluable to both mathematicians and members of the general public.
PROOF TECHNIQUE #1 - 'Proof By Induction'
1.Obtain a large power transformer.
2.Find someone who does not believe your theorem.
3.Get this person to hold the terminals on the HV side of the
transformer.
4.Apply 25000 volts AC to the LV side of the transformer.
5.Repeat step (4) until they agree with the theorem.
PROOF TECHNIQUE #2 - 'Proof By Contradiction'
1.State your theorem.
2.Wait for someone to disagree.
3.Contradict them.
PROOF TECHNIQUE #3 - Fire Proof
1.Summon all your inferiors for a departmental meeting.
2.Present your theorem.
3.Fire those who disagree.
PROOF TECHNIQUE #4 - The Famous Water Proof
1.State your theorem.
2.Wait for someone to disagree.
3.Drown them.
(This is closely related to the 'bullet' proof, but is easier to make
look like an accident.)
PROOF TECHNIQUE #5 - Idiot Proof
1.State your theorem.
2.Write exhaustive documentation with glossy colour pictures and
arrows about which bit goes where.
3.Challenge anyone to not understand it.
PROOF TECHNIQUE #6 - Child Proof
1.State your theorem.

Press-to-Open lids).
4.Give it to a professor and challenge him to open it.
PROOF TECHNIQUE #7 - Rabbit Proof
1.Generate theorems at an altogether startling rate, much faster than
anybody is able to refute them. Use up every body else's paper. Run
away at the slightest sign of danger.
2.Leave any crap in small, easily identified piles, in prominent
places where you no longer are, and it cannot in fact be proven that
you
ever were.
PROOF TECHNIQUE #8 - Fool Proof
1.State your theorem.
2.Invite colleagues to comment.
3.If they don't agree, exclaim loudly, "You Fools!"
