Three men, one German, one Japanese and a
hillbilly were sitting naked in a sauna. Suddenly
there was a beeping sound. The German pressed his forearm and the
beep stopped. The others looked at him questioningly. "That was my
pager, "he said, "I have a micro chip under the skin of my arm."
A few minutes later a phone rang. The Japanese fellow lifted
his palm to his ear. When he finished he explained, "That was my
mobile phone. I have a micro chip in my hand."
The hillbilly felt decidedly low tech, but not to be outdone he decided
he had to do something just as impressive. He stepped out of the
sauna and went to the bathroom.
He returned with a piece of toilet paper hanging from his behind. The others raised
their eyebrows and stared at him The hillbilly finally said...
"Well, will you look at that, I'm getting a fax.
