The Mouse Trap.

A man participated in an exhibition for new innovative devices. He developed a mouse trap. It was a plain board with two screw half-mounted on two sides on a part of board. And a steel wire tied from one screw to the other. And pieces of cheese besides both screws.

The judges asked, "Explain us, how this mouse trap works"? He answered, look sir, the mouse will come from this side. He will come close to mid of the both cheese because he will be equally attracted from the aroma of both the pieces of cheese. Then he will see towards left cheese and will think whether to eat it first, then he will turn his head to see second piece and think whether to eat it first. He will repeat this several times. And his neck will be rubbed against steel wire, slitting his neck and he will be dead.

The judges said this will not work. Go back, and come with new idea. The man comes again with modified version of his machine. Judges saw it was no different than just the absence of two pieces. They asked the man, now how will THIS work? He said, look sir, the mouse will come from this side. He will come close to mid of the both screws. Then he will see towards left screw and will think , "where it's gone?", then he will turn his head and see the second screw and think "where it's gone?". He will repeat this several times. And his neck will be rubbed against steel wire, slitting his neck and he will be dead.

Thanks for your time to read it for 4 times. And sorry if it can't make you laugh. I guess my style of expressing it was not good. It was about the imbecility of that man.
aycha
Its a sort of technological joke so it's hard to award a laugh easily ;)

Yes, you have to take the vision of that person seriously. Then only you can understand the humor behind.
