Ole is a farmer in Minnesota . He is in need of a new milk cow and hears about a nice one for sale over in Nordakota (that would be North Dakota for you non-Scandahoovians out there).
He drives to Nordakota, finds the farm and looks at the cow. He reaches under to see if the cow gives milk.
When he grabs a teat and pulls...the cow farts. Surprised, Ole looks at the farmer who's selling the cow, then reaches under to try again. He grabs another teat, pulls, and the cow farts again. Milk does come out however, so after some discussion with the cow's current owner, Ole decides to buy the cow.
When he gets back to Minnesota , he calls over his neighbor, Sven, and says, 'Hey, Sven, come and look at dis ere new cow I yust bought. Pull her teat, and see vat happens.'
Sven reaches under, pulls the teat...the cow farts.
Sven looks at Ole and says, 'You bought dis here cow in Nordakota, didn't yah?'
Ole is very surprised since he hadn't told Sven about his trip. Ole replies, 'Yah, dats right. But how did yah know?'
Sven says, 'My wife is from Nordakota.'

This is a rather brilliant scientific analysis if what would happen if the pitcher in a baseball game accidentally released a ball at 0.9 times the speed of light.

That kinda reminds me of those "what if the fundamental laws of physics were different in the past?" discussions.
What appears to be a reasonably small change (i.e. the ball goes a lot faster) results in a massively different result (i.e. the odds of a home-run during complete nuclear annihilation are considerably reduced).

A young Mexican boy went to the U.S. to visit relatives and then, contrary to stereotype, he promptly went home.When asked how he had enjoyed his trip, he replied, "Everybody was so friendly. We went to a baseball game and before they started playing, everybody in the whole stadium stood up and asked me, "Jose, can you see?"
A gringo who couldn't speak any Spanish was travelling in Mexico when he found that he had to buy new socks. He went into a clothing store asking for socks and the clerk, who could speak no English, couldn't understand what he wanted. After several attempts at non-verbal communication, the gringo finally gave up and started to leave the store when he sudden saw the socks. He grabbed a pair and showed them to the clerk, who exclaimed, "Eso s que es!" ("So that's what it is!") The gringo bought the socks and left furious, muttering to himself, "Well, if he could spell it, then why did he pretend to not know what I was talking about?"
