Vítejte na VtipBázi

VtipBáze je - jak již bystřejším z vás došlo - databáze vtipů. Původně vzniklá z mé soukromé sbírky, kterou jsem se léta dokopával zveřejnit. Nakonec mě k tomu přiměl státní smutek, který mi přijde pitomý sám o sobě a v případě Havlova úmrtí teprve. Jak lépe bojovat proti hysterickému patosu, než vtipem?

Pokud zde svůj oblíbený vtip nenajdete, přidejte ho.

Do nočního ticha kdosi zaklepal na domovní dveře. Žena vstává, jde ke dveřím a ptá se: "Vášo, jsi to ty?"
Ticho, žádná odpověď. Vrátí se proto do postele s pocitem, že se jí něco zdálo. Sotva však ulehne, ozve se zaklepání znovu. Vstane a jde ke dveřím. "Vášo, jsi to ty?? Neznervózňuj mne, prosím!"

Ticho. Vrátí se do postele, ale než stačí zavřít oči, opět zaklepání. Opět vstane, jde ke dveřím a otevře je. Venku stojí opilý Váša ztěžka se opírající o dveřní rám.

"Ty pitomče!! Proč jsi mi neodpověděl, když jsem se ptala?? Jak jsem měla poznat, žes to ty???"

"Ale vždyť jsem kýval!"

Kněží posílají do Říma, pravděpodobně Kongregaci pro liturgii, dotaz:

"Je možno celebrovat mši svatou pouze ve štóle?"

Odpověď: "Ne, musíte mít ještě alespoň trenýrky."

The wheel gauge of a Roman War Chariot was 4 feet, 8.5 inches. Here's how I found out:

The US Standard railroad gauge (distance between the rails) is 4 feet, 8.5 inches. That seems to be an exceedingly odd number.

Why was that gauge used? Because that's the way they built them in England, and the US railroads were built by English expatriates.

Why did the English people build them like that? Because the first rail lines were built by the same people who built the pre railroad tramways, and that's the gauge they used.

Why did "they" use that gauge then? Because the people who built the tramways used the same jigs and tools that they used for building wagons, which used that wheel spacing.

Okay then, why did the wagons use that odd wheel spacing? Well, if they tried to use any other spacing the wagons would break on some of the old, long distance roads, because that's the spacing of the old wheel ruts.

So who built these old rutted roads? The first long distance roads in Europe were built by Imperial Rome for the benefit of their legions. The roads have been used ever since.

And the ruts? The initial ruts, which everyone else had to match for fear of destroying their wagons, were first made by Roman war chariots. Since the chariots were made for or by Imperial Rome they were all alike in the matter of wheel spacing.

Thus, we have the answer to the original question. The United States' standard railroad gauge of 4 feet, 8.5 inches derives from the original specification for an Imperial Roman army war chariot.

Specs and Bureaucracies live forever. So, the next time you are handed a specification and wonder what Horse's Ass came up with it, you may be exactly right. Because the Imperial Roman chariots were made to be just wide enough to accommodate the backends of two war horses.

Now the twist to the story.

There's an interesting extension of the story about railroad gauge and horses' behinds. When you see a Space Shuttle sitting on the launch pad, there are two big booster rockets attached to the sides of the main fuel tank. These are the solid rocket boosters, or SRBs. The SRBs are made by Thiokol at a factory in Utah. The engineers who designed the SRBs might have preferred to make them a bit fatter, but the SRBs had to be shipped by train from the factory to the launch site.

The railroad line to the factory runs through a tunnel in the mountains. The SRBs had to fit through that tunnel. The tunnel is slightly wider than a railroad track, and the railroad track is about as wide as two horses' behinds.

So a major design feature of what is arguably the world's most advanced transportation system was determined by the width of a horse's ass.

A man in his 40's bought a new BMW and was out on the interstate for a nice evening drive. The top was down, the breeze was blowing through what was left of his hair, and he decided to open her up. As the needle jumped up to 80 mph, he suddenly saw flashing red and blue lights behind him.

"There's no way they can catch a BMW," he thought to himself and opened her up further. The needle hit 90, 100... then the reality of the situation hit him. "What the hell am I doing?" he thought and pulled over. The cop came up to him, took his license without a word, and examined it and the car.

"It's been a long day, this is the end of my shift, and it's Friday the 13th. I don't feel like more paperwork, so if you can give me an excuse for your driving that I haven't heard before, you can go." The guy thinks for a second and says:

"Last week my wife ran off with a cop. I was afraid you were trying to give her back."

"Have a nice weekend," said the officer.
