A number of sophisticated technical folk were in the lab late one night, discussing what invention has been the most amazing of all time.
“Certainly, it’s the wheel—look where we would be without it,” said the first scientist.
“Most likely it’s the computer—it’s totally changed society,” said a second.
“What about the cell phone? We’ve revolutionized communication!” said a third.
The old custodian slowly walked by, pushing his broom, and shaking his head.
“What! What!” said one the scientists. “What are you shaking your head about!? What do you think is the most amazing invention of all time?”
The custodian confidently replied, “Gots to be de thermos jug.”
“Kindly tell us what’s so amazing about a thermos jug,” said a scientist.
“Well, suh, in de summah-time I puts mah iced tea in it, keep it niiiice and cool...an’ in de winna-time I puts mah coffee in deah, it stay niiiice and wawm. How do it know?”
