Three men, an American, a Japanese and an Irishman, were sitting naked in a sauna. Suddenly there was a beeping sound.
The American pressed his forearm and the beep stopped. The others looked at him questioningly. "That was my pager," he said. "I have a microchip 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 microchip in my hand."
The Irishman felt decidedly low tech, but not to e outdone he decided
he had to do something just as impressive. He stepped out of the sauna
and went to the toilet. He returned with a piece of toilet paper hanging from his behind. The others raised their eyebrows and stared at him.
The Irishman finally said------- "Well, will you look at that, I'm getting a fax."
