Did you hear the one about the old parson and the young parson? Both went to the store, but they bought different brands of deodorant. They paid different amounts for their purchases, which were correctly and fairly priced. At no point did they encounter talking animals, women whose fair hair caused them to be stupid, or any form of inappropriate sexual behavior. Nothing anachronistic or unlikely occurred. They took their purchases home, had sandwiches for dinner, and slept soundly.
What kind of sandwiches? Did they sleep together? Manbird wants to know.

Also that is not a factual story: the labels on the air-conditioning controls refer to fan speeds, not the names of inventors.
Please, only jokes that are 100% factual in this thread. It's not funny if it's not true.

dmax wrote:The Goldberg Brothers - The Inventors of the Automobile Air Conditioner Here's a little factoid for automotive buffs or just to dazzle your friends. The four Goldberg brothers, Lowell, Norman, Hiram, and Max, invented and developed the first automobile air-conditioner. On July 17, 1946, the temperature in Detroit was 97 degrees. The four brothers walked into old man Henry Ford's office and sweet-talked his secretary into telling him that four gentlemen were there with the most exciting innovation in the auto industry since the electric starter. Henry was curious and invited them into his office. They refused and instead asked that he come out to the parking lot to their car. They persuaded him to get into the car, which was about 130 degrees, turned on the air conditioner, and cooled the car off immediately. The old man got very excited and invited them back to the office, where he offered them $3 million for the patent. The brothers refused, saying they would settle for $2 million, but they wanted the recognition by having a label, 'The Goldberg Air-Conditioner,' on the dashboard of each car in which it was installed. They haggled back and forth for about two hours and finally agreed on $4 million and that just their first names would be shown. And so to this day, all Ford air conditioners show — Lo, Norm, Hi, and Max — on the controls. Good except to make it more accurate it needs to be changed to 1939 with John and William Packard. That was when the first commercially viable car ac came out .
