.----------------. An idiot was waiting in the down-
|_I_I_I_I_I_I_I_I]___ town L. A. bus station for the
.::. | _ : ; _ ) bus to Pasadena. He spotted a
jgs ':::'' ='-(_)----------=-(_)-' machine with a sign that read:
YOUR HEIGHT, YOUR WEIGHT, YOUR FORTUNE $1.00
He stepped on the scale and dropped a dollar bill in the slot. Out came
a card that said: "You are 5 feet 10 inches tall. You weigh 160 pounds,
and you are waiting for the bus to Pasadena."
The idiot said, "How did that machine know that? Well, I'll fool it."
He went downstairs to the men's room, rolled up his coat collar, pulled
down the brim of his hat, and put on a fake beard. He tiptoed back up
the stairs, sneaked along the wall, spun around and jumped on the scale
and quickly placed another dollar in the slot.
Out came a card that read: "You are 5 feet 10 inches tall, you weigh
160 pounds, and while you were screwing around down in the men's room,
you missed the bus to Pasadena."
