Algoreithm (al'gore'ithm) n. Any mathmatical calculation done repeatedly until you get the desired result.

I found this on a scuba discussion board. Original source unknown but definitely not from a democratic one.

Life is a beach, and then you dive.

Love it! Unusual to see a joke from the other side.

At least I'm not alone over here on the right anymore.

Maybe it takes scuba diving to make a Republican come up with such humor.

For the record, 'algorithm' is a frequently used term in scuba circles to discuss rules by which Nitrogen off-gassing (desaturation of tissues) is calculated.

Are you required to use SCUBA or to surf in order to be considered a son of the beach?

I had a few days at work recently when every single task got peppered and perforated by paranthetic sub-clauses (Christmas is really coming early now!) In the midst of the madness, someone mailed me a twist on the 'beach' saying which made me chuckle:

Life's a bitch - then she has puppies!

Algorhythm (al'gore'ithm) n. In music, a rhythmical phrase repeated over and over again until it becomes totally, but totally boring.
