[QUOTE=only_human;415916]I looked up a Japanese word just now and learned about a form of Japanese verbal comedic entertainment that sort of fits the flow here at the moment:
[QUOTE]An example from Yonezawa Hikohachi's collection:[INDENT]A man faints in a bathing tub. In the great confusion following, a doctor arrives who takes his pulse and calmly gives the instructions: "Pull the plug and let the water out." Once the water has flowed completely out of the tub he says: "Fine. Now put a lid on it and carry the guy to the cemetery."[/INDENT]For the poor man is already dead. The joke becomes clearer when one notes that a Japanese traditional bathing tub is shaped like a coffin.[/QUOTE][/QUOTE]

I once farted in a wooden bathing tub,
A noisy punctuation of my rub-a-dub-dub,
The thunderous bubble,
Caused me great toil and trouble,
So I started writing a limerick about it, but now I see you said not fart but 'faint',
And what should have become a memorable poetical work of art - well, it ain't.

But the bishop was nobody's fool
He'd been to a large public school
He whipped off his britches
And diddled those b*****s
With a ten inch Episscopal tool.

Alas, alas for Uncle Joe;
He's gone beyond the stars.
I miss him, oh, I miss him so.
He had such good cigars.

A girl who weighed many an oz.,
Used language I will not pronoz.
Her brother one day
Pulled her chair right away.
He wanted to see if she'd boz.

But that didn't bother those two
They said, as the bishop withdrew
The vicar is quicker, and slicker, and thicker,
And longer and stronger than you.

There once was a man from Nantucket
Twice forty eight and not yet interred
He went up a hill
It was worth it

From Retina's link on transistors, which is truly mind-blowing, for me, comes this link on capacitors, and asides on inductors:

Oh Mother Dear
What have we here
That looks like strawberry jam
Hush, hush, my boy
It's just your pa
Run over by a tram.
