Joke 7/18: Nelson Mandela

As some of you may know, had I not become a programmer, I’d probably have been a doctor. But, alas, I didn’t have the patients. I did make a few discoveries while working in the field of medicine though! It seems that eating too many Christmas decorations can cause Tinselitis! While another marked achievement was spotting that similar to the ways that Athlete’s get Athletes foot – it seems that Astronauts get Missiletoe.

Nelson Mandela is at home putting up his Christmas tree when he hears a knock at the door, so he bobs off to answer it. He answers to a delivery guy who asks him to sign for a parcel.
“What is in the parcel?” asks Mr Mandela.
“10 car steering wheels” replies the guy.
“I’m not signing for these, I didn’t order them” returns Mandela, closing the door to the delivery guy and going back to enjoy his bauble arranging.

The next day, the door rings again and its the same guy but this time with a different parcel, interrupting what was up to then, a fantastic Christmas dinner.
“Hi, would you sign for these please?” asks the guy.
“Well, it depends what they are?” says Mandela.
“15 car exhausts” replies the guy.
“Again, I didn’t order these, go away and check your order” says Mandela closing the door again in the delivery guys face.

Two days later, the same guy knocks at the door again.
“Hi, another parcel” says the guy.
“Look, I don’t know what sends you here, but I’ve not ordered anything you guys appear to be delivering – so can just stop coming here” says Mandela – slightly irritated at the apparent lack of listening ability from the delivery guy.
“But, it has your name on the parcel! Here, see!” as the delivery guy hands him the parcel.
“You fool! That’s not my name! It says it’s for Nissan Main Dealer!”
