    Default Light relief

    Rene Descartes walks into a pub and orders a pint handle of lager. He pays for it, skulls it in one go and puts the handle back on the bar.

    The barman asks "would you like another sir?"

    Descartes replies "I think not!" and promptly vanishes into thin air.

    "The world's greatest referees are great game managers. They have that unique ability to dynamically analyse any game situation they are faced with, anticipate problems that might occur, formulate effective pre-emptive solutions to these problems, and move swiftly to put these solutions into effect to allow the game to run smoothly for all concerned. However, as any referee will tell you, when you are up to your ass in crocodiles, it can be difficult remind yourself that what you were trying to do was to drain the swamp!"

    Werner Heisenburg was sitting at the same bar ; after Descartes vanished into thin air, the bartender walked over to him and asked, "Did you see that?" To which Heisenburg replied, "I can't be certain."

    Heisenberg is driving home afterwards when he's stopped by the police.
    The policeman says "Do you know how fast you were going, sir?" Heisenberg says "No, but I know where I am."
