For a start, sloths have only 2 or 3 claws, not 5 as in the piccie, and shouldn't it be like this?
Binos: Steiner Wildlife XP 10x26, Swarovski 8x30 Habicht, Zeiss SFL 8x40, Vanguard Endeavour 10.5x45, Fuji FMTR-SX 10x50, Tak 22x60, Orion Resolux 15x70
Eyepieces: way too many (is that possible?), but I do like my TV 32mm plossl, 13mm Nagler T6, 27mm Panoptic and 3-6mm Nagler zoom, plus Fujiyama 18mm and 25mm orthos and Tak 7.5mm LE

Re: Clean, fun jokes... the tradition continues
I was setting my planetarium up in a high-school hall one winter, and I had to turn the a/c off: someone had set it for 34C (93F), because they were cold... (it was around 16C outside (61F).
We found a similar problem in London shops just before Christmas a few years back: around 8C outside, and over 30C inside. Wonderful if you were dressed for the weather!

My mass spectrometer lab was temperature regulated year round to 21C ±0.5C. We didn't handle chemicals so there was no need to enforce wearing of lab coats. During summer, the female students would be in there in shorts, tee shirts enjoying the cool. They would have worn sandals if we didn't have a covered footwear rule. Come winter, they'd be in there long pants, fleece jackets shivering and complaining that it was "freezing" in there. Apart from the New Zealanders, males and females who would wear shorts and tee shirts year round, inside and out.

Here's a story about that. There was a secretary here who was always complaining about the temperature in her office. It was either too hot or too cold. But it was controlled by a master thermostat for the entire group of rooms. The HAVC crew had made a number of visits to her office and determined that the temperature was what it was specified to be and the system was working as it should. But she would not stop complaining. So finally they made a big show of installing a thermostat in her office and running a wire up the wall and into the ceiling where, unbeknownst to her, it just ended without being connected to anything. She thanked them profusely and she never complained again.

Re: Clean, fun jokes... the tradition continues
Yesterday, my therapist told me I have a preoccupation with vengeance.
Well, we'll see about that.
Then the other afternoon, a door-to-door salesman came to the house and said to my wife, "Hello, would you like to buy a book titled '500 Excuses To Tell Your Wife After Staying Out Late'?"
My wife asked, "Why would I buy a book like that?"
He said, "Because I sold a copy to your husband earlier today."
