Alright, you may need to know some Texas Hold'Em poker terminology to get these jokes, but I found them pretty funny. With the rise of poker as a popular game to play these days, the makers of Cialis (an Erectile Dysfunction Drug) have begun to sponsor poker tournaments and are coming up with some 'not so kosher' taglines. "No more limping in with Cialis". "If you take Cialis, you no longer have to worry about a bad flop". "Get pocket rockets every time with Cialis". "With Cialis, you'll want everyone to suck out on you". "Make a strong pair with Cialis".

Look at the formula for acetic acid. CH3-COOH. The CH3-C means that there is a two carbon chain in the structure which is what an ethyl group is; a two carbon chain. Methanoic acid is HCOOH. It's called methanoic because it has the one carbon (methyl) backbone to it. Propanoic acid is CH3-CH2-COOH, butanoic acid is CH3-CH2-CH2-COOH. The methyl, ethyl, propyl designations have to do with the size of the carbon backbone in the molecule. If it has a two carbon backbone, it's ethyl. Three carbon and it's propyl. Etc. etc.

Ethanoic means that it contains an ethyl group. Acetic acid is another name for ethanoic acid.

Here's a good one. A penguin is driving his beat up old chevy down an Arizona Highway. He suddenly starts seeing smoke coming out from under his hood. He pulls over into the nearest gas station and talks with the mechanic. The penguin asks the mechanic if he could take a look at the car for him. The mechanic says "Sure, but it will take a little while." The penguin replies "No problem. I'll just go for a walk and come back in about an hour". So the penguin starts walking down the highway. Now ya see, penguins are from the cold north so they aren't aware of how hot the Arizona sun can get. After about half an hour, the sun really starts beating down on the penguin and making him quite uncomfortable. As he starts walking back to the gas station he notices an ice-cream cart. Desperate for something to cool him off, he runs over to the cart and buys an ice-cream cone with 3 scoops of vanilla ice-cream in it. He pays for the cone and starts to gobble it down, but it's so hot that it begins to melt and get all over his face and the front of his chest. The penguin is hot, however, so he doesn't care that he's now covered in ice-cream. It feels good and is cooling him off. Covered in ice-cream, he walks back to the gas station and sees the mechanic. The mechanic notices the penguin and goes up to talk to him. The mechanic says "Hey. Looks like you've blown a seal." The penguin is a bit puzzled, but then says "Oh, no, no, no. That's just ice cream."
