Warning: Racist and Sexist!

For the last 28 years I have held the following hypothesis.

Only Chinese women leave the supermarket pushing the trolley with one hand, holding the till receipt in the other, head down checking the receipt.

Until today, the hypothesis held on observations around the world. This morning, a little old Caucasian lady was observed leaving the supermarket pushing the trolley with one hand, holding the till receipt in the other, head down checking the receipt.

I couldn't resist “Hello you are my first Black Swan.” The reply “Well thank you dear – you can tell I colour my hair?”

For the benefit of people who do know of Karl Popper.

"Falsifiability or refutability of a statement, hypothesis, or theory is an inherent possibility to prove it to be false. A statement is called falsifiable if it is possible to conceive an observation or an argument which proves the statement in question to be false. In this sense, falsify is synonymous with nullify, meaning not "to commit fraud" but "show to be false". Some philosophers argue that science must be falsifiable.[1]

For example, by the problem of induction, no number of confirming observations can verify a universal generalization, such as All swans are white, yet it is logically possible to falsify it by observing a single black swan. Thus, the term falsifiability is sometimes synonymous to testability. Some statements, such as It will be raining here in one million years, are falsifiable in principle, but not in practice.[2]

And yes, I agree, Johns joke was about as funny as a piles operation with no anaesthetic.

The ark lands after The Flood. Noah lets all the animals out. Says, "Go and multiply." Several months pass. Noah decides to check up on the animals. All are doing fine except a pair of snakes. "What's the problem?" says Noah. "Cut down some trees and let us live there", say the snakes. Noah follows their advice. Several more weeks pass. Noah checks on the snakes again. Lots of little snakes, everybody is happy. Noah asks, "Want to tell me how the trees helped?" "Certainly", say the snakes. "We're adders, and we need logs to multiply.

Bloke walked into a cafe and said I want a full English breakfast. I want the sausages so overcooked, I can use them as rawl bolts, I want the eggs so overcooked, I can use them as frisbees, I want the beans burnt black on the top and stone cold on the bottom, I want the bacon so overcooked, when I try to stick a fork in it shatters all over the table. The waiter says we haven't got time to mess around like that, and the guy says you found the f**king time yesterday.

I’ll get me coat.
