I have an office chair, but the plastic armrests, which hold the back of the chair to the seat, snapped under my weight.

I plan on making new armrests out of 1.5"x1.5" steel square tube, what gauge/wall thickness should I use, which must be able to support a 280lb man (but I'd like to to be able to support someone 400lbs+, just so I have a guarantee that this won't break)

(And in case somebody feels the need to make a juvenile comment about my weight, I'm 6'6", so 280lbs is not very fat at all)

A doctor told my girlfriend that she needed more vitamins and so I did some research and apparently vitamins are electrolytes. Anyway so I bought her a lot of gatoraide because I saw on tv that it has a lot of electrolytes and makes you really fast at sports. But she's getting sicker now and is slower at everything! I'm not sure why she's so slow at sports now because she used to be fast and electrolytes make you faster too right? So maybe the doctor is a quack and something else is wrong. Someone else told us that vitamins are like goosebumps but I have no idea what that means.

Carl, who has been very sick is visiting his doctor to get
the results of a battery of tests. "What are my chances
of recovering, Doc?" he asks.


"One hundred percent, " the doctor assures
him.


"That's a relief, " Carl says. "But
how can you be so sure?"


"Well, " the doctor says, "statistics
show that nine out of every 10 patients with your disease
will die. Yours is the 10th case I've treated. The others
have all died. So you are bound to get well."

I am leaving a party at a friends house, I walk out the front door, and I vomit. The chunks of vomit form a face that tells me, "Pudding is awesome." Then I feel a tounge glide across my crotch, and I wake up.

It makes no sense to me whatsoever, but dreams are supposed to tell us things, right?

SOCIAL SECURITY S*X
Two men were talking. "So, how's your sex life?" "Oh, nothing special. I'm having Social Security sex." "Social Security s*x?" "Yeah, you know; I get a little each month, but not enough to live on!"

LOUD S*X
A wife went in to see a therapist and said, "I've got a big problem, doctor. Every time we're in bed and my husband climaxes, he lets out this ear splitting yell." "My dear," the shrink said, "that's completely natural. I don't see what the problem is." "The problem is," she complained, "it wakes me up!"

QUIET S*X
Tired of a listless s*x life, the man came right out and asked his wife during a recent lovemaking session, "How come you never tell me when you have an orgasm?" She glanced at him casually and replied, "You're never home!"
