Invisible

We don’t see everything, even when we look. We’re fascinated by forces beyond our eyesight. Magnetic fields. Nanotechnology. The inner workings of the human body. And whatever it is men do when they spend an hour in the bathroom. And there are time we wish we could suddenly become invisible, like when we’re caught doing something really embarassing, or when we want to spy on someone. The Invisible Man by H.G. Wells turned that desire on its ear, as the title character’s invisibility turned out to be a nightmare. To be invisible is to be ignored, and in this day and age, people work mighty hard to be seen.

SHORTIES

Doctor: Tell him I can't see him now. Next.

THE PENTAGON

A soldier at the Pentagon got out of the shower, and realized that his clothes were missing. While searching around for them, he accidentally locked himself out of the locker room, and he found himself completely naked in the halls of the world's most powerful military organization HQ. But, luckily, no one was around to see him.

So, he ran as fast as he could to the elevator. When it arrived, it was empty. He breathed a sigh of relief and got in. When the doors opened on his floor, there was no one waiting outside. "This must be my lucky day," he said to himself. He was now only a few yards from his office.

Suddenly, he heard footsteps coming from around the corner. He heard the General's voice. There was no way he'd make it to his door in time, so he ducked into the closest office available, and found himself in the laboratory for Research & Development. The Head Scientist looked up from one of her experiments with puzzled interest.

The soldier thought quickly, stood up straight and saluted. "I am here to report the partial success of the Personal Invisibility Device," he said.

"I see," the Head Scientist said. "But the Shrink Ray seems to be working perfectly."

Thought for today: Never lie to an x-ray technician. They can see right through you.
