Bubba's Thermos Bottle

60 acre hillside · Nov 22, 2013

Bubba found a thermos bottle at an utility pole that must have been lost there. He took it home and it was full of hot coffee. After drinking the coffee he asked Billy Bob how it worked. Billy Bob Told him that it keeps stuff hot or cold. Bubba wants to know it knows which to do. Billy Bob does not know. Can anybody who is smart tell Bubba?

You mean they'll do both? I thought they were like faucets. One for hot,one for cold.

Whether it be hot or cold, I would NOT drink anything that was in a Thermos I found. :lol:

Simple since there is no thing as cold only less heat the same principle is used to keep it hot or well colder.

Tell him to put an H on it with a permanent marker so he doesn't mix them up if he finds a cold one.

Yeah, they do one or the other but not both. Mine must be a "H", as it keeps coffee fine. Last week I tried a cup of coffee and two scoops of icecream, and it didn't work at all.

at breakfast in new mexico I asked a waitress to fill my thermos with coffee. Told her yesterday my wife had filled it with ice water for me and now wanted coffee. I did not know how to switch it to hot setting!!She looked the thermos over, went in back to ask owner--cook how to set it to hot.Locals in restaurant laughed--however owner was not happy with her.True story

I typically stumped my physics students asking them which way heat flows. Of course they said up. I ask them if they became warm at the beach with the sun up in the sky.

Of course, UP is the WRONG answer.

Not quite the same, but is a true story. A local bricklayer told the story of one of his fellow worker's that would take his thermos full of coffee to work in the morning. After drinking the coffee and being up on a tall scaffold, when it was time to relieve himself of some of the coffee he would just use his thermos. And yes the next morning he would bring it full of coffee again. Yes, it is a true story.

I seen you know the difference.
COLD= absence of heat!
Heat= Absence of cold.

Heat will always flow from HOTTER to COLDER, regardless of whether it's up, down, or sideways.....thought everyone knew that....

Blonde gets a thermos jug for a birthday present . She isn't sure what it is for. Her friend tells her, it keeps hot things hot and cold things cold. Blonde says :"Cool"
Next day at work coworker sees the new jug and asks the blonde what she has in it. She replies
"Coffee and a popsicle".

Bill you are bad.

I bought some bolts at Rural King. Went back the next day and asked the girls if they had a #2 bolt stretcher. The bolts they sold me were too short. They looked at each other and said #2 bolt stretcher? I told them if they don't have one, I'll just go get longer bolts.

By the time I got back with the bolts I needed, the girls learned they had been played.

It's kinda of like your buddy, Pasko sending his students after a #2 board stretcher.

OldFarmTractor,
Is physics an exercise class?
