A couple of Eskimo hunters were in their kayak on a
freezing day. It was so cold, they started a little fire
to keep warm, but the boat caught fire and quickly sank.

moral: You can't have your kayak and heat it too.

And how could they start the fire, you may ask? Well, they took a camel
out of the pack and threw it overboard. The kayak became a cigarette
lighter.

To repair the kayak they needed some extra strong, low temperature adhesive.
So they used their winternet connection and it arrived next day, by E-Glue.
