DIR - (tongue-in-cheek)

Post by diver-dad »

For all you DIR afficienados .... http://www.scubatoys.com/store/joelarry/dir.asp

(hey, I like much of the DIR philosophy, but this is a fun commentary, IMHO)

Pardon my duu-uu-uh, but somebody tell me again what DIR stands for?

Since I don't want to start WW3 by inadvertently screwing up what DIR stands for, I'll just point to the wikipedia page:

Yawn they could at least think up something original. That bit has been around for almost a decade. Its like a knock knock joke now, hard to laugh at after the umpteenth telling. The most cited link is to a shop's website in NJ; I'm not sure if it originated there or somewhere else.

Dunno where you got that idea, Bob- a quick search shows several DIR threads on this board- some of he only civil ones on the 'net that I'm aware of, as a matter of fact.

That seems to fit.

I still think there are better DIR jokes out there though :)

Mind you I am a respecter.... but here is my favorite. This was from a scubaboard limerick contest years ago.

A DIR diver named Jake
always dove in a fresh-water lake.
He drilled and he drilled
so he wouldn't get killed
if he dove in the ocean by mistake.
