Remember when?

A computer was something on TV -from a science fiction show
A window was something you hated to clean and ram was the cousin of a goat
Meg was the name of my girlfriend and gig was something musicians lined up
Now they all mean different things and that really bytes

An application was for employment a program was a TV show
A cursor used profanity a keyboard was a piano
Memory was something that you lost with age.A CD was a bank account
And if you had a 3 1/2" floppy You hoped nobody found out

Compress was something you did to the garbage and on your fingernails you used a file
And if you unzipped anything in public you'd be in jail for a while
Log on was adding wood to the fire hard drive was a long trip on the road
A mouse pad was where a mouse lived and a backup happened to your commode

Cut you did with a pocket knife paste you did with glue
A web was a spider's hom and a virus was the flu
I guess I'll stick to my pad and paper and the memory in my head
I hear nobody's been killed in a computer crash but when it happens they wish they were dead

Zen Sayings

* Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow.
   Do not walk beside me, either. Leave me the hell alone.

* The journey of a thousand miles begins with a broken fan belt and a leaky tire.

* It's always darkest before dawn. So if you're going to steal your neighbour's newspaper, that's the time to do it.

* Sex is like air. It's not important unless you aren't getting any.

* Don't be irreplaceable. If you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted.

* It is far more impressive when others discover your good qualities without your help.

* If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of car payments.

* The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

* Timing has an awful lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance.

* A closed mouth gathers no foot.

* Duct tape is like 'the force'. It has a light side & a dark side, and it holds the universe together.

Love Bug

Q: What do you know of the Wife bug, then?

A: Wife 1.0 has an undocumented bug. If you try to install Mistress 1.1 before uninstalling Wife 1.0, Wife 1.0 will delete MSMoney files before doing the uninstall itself. Then Mistress 1.1 will refuse to install, claiming insufficient resources. To avoid the above bug, try installing Mistress 1.1 on a different system and never run any file transfer applications such as LapLink 6.0. Also, beware of similar shareware applications that have been known to carry viruses that may affect Wife 1.0.

Q: I have had problems with Kids 1.0. Is there a simple solution?

A: Further to my note on Wife 1.0 and Mistress 1.1, Kids 1.0 upgrade has indeed caused considerable slowdown and other performance difficulties with Wife 1.0, although Mistress 1.1 seems unaffected (subject to the points identified re: Installation on a different system). From experience, the older versions of Kids are preferred.

Q: Fine state of affairs On Wife/Mistress conflict, does Admirer shareware operate efficiently?

A: Any version of Admirer is fairly safe, but it is better kept off your laptop, especially when travelling in a taxi unless you intend to upgrade it to Lover 1.1. If you are running Lover 1.1 or higher, you need to limit your scheduled use of such utilities as MailMan or WindowCleaner. (AppleMac owners are at risk of finding unexpected contents in the PRAM.) Offspring 1.0 is incompatible with both Highlife and Quietlife. Offspring 1.2 or 1.3 will be costly but are worth installing because they may one day provide necessary resources. It will be too late if you wait to launch them until you have memory problems or become dotty.

Q:  Last year I upgraded from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0 and noticed that the new program began unexpected child processing that took up a lot of space and valuable resources. No mention of this phenomenon was included in the product brochure. In addition, Wife 1.0 installs itself into all other programs and launches during system initialization where it monitors all other system activity. Applications such as Poker Night 10.3, Man U:Liverpool 3.3, and Popstars 5.0 no longer run, crashing the system whenever selected. I cannot seem to keep Wife 1.0 in the background while attempting to run some of my other favourite applications. I am thinking about going back to Girlfriend 7.0 but uninstall does not work in this program. Can you help me?

A: Probably not.

Q: Upgrading from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0 has not been a great success. Can I uninstall?

A: You can, but you may need to re-mortgage your house and revert to a student lifestyle of cheap beer and beans on toast.
Many people upgrade from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0 with the idea that Wife 1.0 is merely a utilities and entertainment program. Wife 1.0 is an operating system and designed by its creator to run everything. It is unlikely you would be able to purge Wife 1.0, and still convert back to Girlfriend 7.0. Hidden files within your system Would cause Girlfriend 7.0 to emulate Wife 1.0 so nothing is gained. It is impossible to un-install, delete, or purge the program files once installed. You cannot go back to Girlfriend 7.0 because Wife 1.0 is not designed to do this. Some have tried to install Girlfriend 8.0 or Wife 2.0 but end up with more problems than the original system. Look in your manual under Warnings-Alimony/Child Support�. I recommend you keep Wife 1.0 and just deal with the situation. Having Wife 1.0 installed myself, I might suggest you read the entire section regarding General Protection Faults (GPFs). you must assume all responsibility for faults and problems that might occur, regardless of their cause. The best course of action will be to enter the command C:\ APOLOGISE. In any case, avoid excessive use of the Esc� key because ultimately you will have to give the APOLOGISE command before the system will return to normal. The system will run smoothly as long as you take the blame for all GPFs. Wife 1.0 is a great program but very high maintenance. Good luck.

How to Shoot Yourself in the foot



A little Friday afternoon nerd humor:  
 
The proliferation of modern programming languages (all of which seem to have stolen countless features from one another) sometimes makes it difficult to remember what language you're currently using.  This guide is offered as a public service to help programmers who find themselves in such dilemmas.

 
How to Shoot Yourself in the Foot


C: You shoot yourself in the foot.

C++: You accidentally create a dozen instances of yourself and shoot them all in the foot.  Providing emergency medical assistance is impossible since you can't tell which are bitwise copies and which are just pointing at others and saying, "That's me, over there."

FORTRAN: You shoot yourself in each toe, iteratively, until you run out of toes, then you read in the next foot and repeat. If you run out of bullets, you continue anyway because you have no exception-handling facility.

Modula-2: After realizing that you can't actually accomplish anythingin this language, you shoot yourself in the head.

COBOL: USEing a COLT 45 HANDGUN, AIM gun at LEFT.FOOT, THEN place
ARM.HAND.FINGER on HANDGUN.TRIGGER and SQUEEZE.  THEN return
HANDGUN to HOLSTER.  CHECK whether shoelace needs to be retied.

LISP: You shoot yourself in the appendage which holds the gun with which you shoot yourself in the appendage which holds the gun with which you shoot yourself in the appendage which holds ...

BASIC: Shoot yourself in the foot with a water pistol.  On big systems, continue until entire lower body is waterlogged.

FORTH: Foot in yourself shoot.

APL: You shoot yourself in the foot, then spend all day figuring out how to do it in fewer characters.

Pascal: The compiler won't let you shoot yourself in the foot.

SNOBOL: If you succeed, shoot yourself in the left foot.  If  youfail,  shoot yourself in the right foot.

HyperTalk: Put the first bullet of the gun into the foot left of leg of you. Answer the result.

Prolog: You tell your program you want to be shot in the foot.  The program figures out how to do it, but the syntax doesn't allow it to explain.

370 JCL: You send your foot down to MIS with a 4000-page document explaining how you want it to be shot.  Three years later, your foot comes back deep-fried.

From the December 1991 issue of Developer's Insight and later from
The Well.

Have a good weekend

The Frog Prince

"A Fairy Tale"

Once upon a time, in a land far away. A beautiful, independent, self assured princess happened
upon a frog as she sat contemplating ecological issues on the shore of an unpolluted pond
in a verdant meadow near her castle.

The frog hopped into the princess' lap and said, "Elegant lady, I was once a handsome prince,
until an evil witch cast a spell upon me. One kiss from you, however, and I will turn back into
the dapper, young prince that I am. Then, my sweet, we can marry and set up housekeeping
in your castle with my mother, where you can prepare my meals, clean my clothes, bear my children,
and forever feel grateful and happy for doing so."

That night, as the princess dined sumptuously on a repast of lightly saut�ed frog legs, seasoned in
white wine and onion cream sauce.
She chuckled to herself and thought: "I don't bloody think so."

A History Lesson

Next time you are washing your hands and complain because the water temperature isn't just how
you like it, think about how things used to be.

Here are some facts about the 1500's:

1. Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May and still smelled pretty good by June.

2. However, they were starting to smell so brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor.

3. Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the house had the privilege of the
nice clean water, then all the other sons and men, then the women and finally the children
and last of all the babies. By then, the water was so dirty you could actually lose someone in it.
Hence, the saying, "Don't throw the baby out with the bath water."

4. Houses had thatched roofs-thick straw, piled high, with no wood underneath.
It was the only place for animals to get warm, so all the dogs, cats and other small animals
(mice rats, and bugs) lived in the roof. When it rained, it became slippery, and, sometimes,
the animals would slip and fall off the roof.
Comes the saying, "It's raining cats and dogs."

5. There was nothing to stop things from falling into the house. This posed a real problem in the bedroom where bugs and other droppings could really mess up your nice clean bed.
So a bed with big posts and a sheet hung over the top afforded some protection.
That's how canopy beds came into existence.

6. The floor was dirt. Only the wealthy had something other than dirt.
Hence, the saying "dirt poor."

7. The wealthy had slate floors that would get slippery in the winter when wet, so they spread thresh
on the floor to help keep their footing.As the winter wore on, they kept adding more thresh until,
when you opened the door, it would all start slipping outside.
A piece of wood was placed in the entranceway. A "thresh hold."

8. They cooked in the kitchen with a big kettle that always hung over the fire.Every day, they lit
the fire and added things to the pot.
They ate mostly vegetables and did not get much meat.
They would eat the stew for dinner, leaving leftovers in the pot to get cold overnight, and then start
over the next day.
Sometimes, the stew had food in it that had been there for quite a while.
From which comes the rhyme, "Peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold, peas porridge in the pot nine days old."

9. Sometimes they could obtain pork, which made them feel quite special.
When visitors came over, they would hang up their bacon to show off.
It was a sign of wealth that a man "could bring home the bacon. "
They would cut off a little to share with guests and would all sit around and "chew the fat."

10. Those with money had plates made of pewter.
Food with a high acid content caused some of the lead to leach onto the food, causing lead
poisoning and death. This happened most often with tomatoes, so, for the next 400 years or so, tomatoes were considered poisonous.
Most people did not have pewter plates, but had trenchers, a piece of wood with the middle scooped out like a bowl.
Often, trenchers were made from stale pays and bread which was so old and hard that they could use them for quite some time.
Trenchers were never washed, and a lot of times worms and mould got into the wood and old bread.
After eating off wormy moldy trenchers, one would get "trench mouth."

11. Bread was divided according to status. Workers got the burnt bottom of the loaf,
the family got the middle, and guests got the top, or "upper crust."

12. Lead cups were used to drink ale or whiskey. The combination would sometimes knock them out for a couple of days.
Someone walking along the road would take them for dead and prepare them for burial.
They were laid out on the kitchen table for a couple of days and the family would gather around and
eat and drink and wait and see if they would wake up.
Hence, the custom of holding a "wake."

13. England is old and small, and they started out running out of places to bury people. So they
would dig up coffins and would take the bones to a "bone-house" and reuse the grave.
When reopening these coffins, 1 out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks on the inside,
and they realized they had been burying people alive.
So they thought they would tie a string on the wrist of the corpse, lead it through the coffin and up through the ground and tie it to a bell.
Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night (the "graveyard shift") to listen for the bell; thus, someone could be "saved by the bell" or was considered a "dead ringer."

And that's the truth...(Whoever said that History was boring?!)

A Man's advice to Women

Learn to work the toilet seat. If it's up, put it down. You don't hear us bitching about you leaving it down.

If you won't dress in fancy underwear, don't expect us to Act like soap opera guys.

Birthdays, Valentines, and Anniversaries are not quests to see if we can find the perfect present yet again!

If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer you don't want to hear.

Sometimes, we're not thinking about you. Live with it.

Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as breasts, fishing, the 3:4:3 formation, or monster trucks.

Sunday = Sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.

Shopping is not a sport, and no, we're never going to think of it that way.

When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine. Really.

You have enough clothes.

You have too many shoes.

Crying is blackmail.

Ask for what you want. Let's be clear on this one: Subtle hints don't work.

Strong hints don't work. Really obvious hints don't work. Just say it!

We don't know what day it is. We never will. Mark anniversaries on the calendar.

Peeing standing up is more difficult. We're bound to miss sometimes.
We don't fire at point blank range.

Most guys own three pairs of shoes. What makes you think we'd be any good at choosing
which pair, out of thirty, would look good with your dress?

Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.

Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do.
Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.

A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor.

Check your own oil, water and tyres. Mend your own punctures.

It is neither in your best interest nor ours to take "relationship" quizzes together.

Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument.
All comments become null and void after 7 days.

If something we said can be interpreted two ways, and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.

It's a man thing to ogle other women. We're going to look anyway; it's genetic.

Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials.

ALL men see in only 6 colors. Peach is a fruit, Magnolia is a tree, Butterscotch is a sweet , none are colours.

If it itches, it will be scratched.

Beer is as exciting for us as handbags are for you.

If we ask what's wrong and you say "nothing," we will act like nothing's wrong. We know you're lying, but it's just not worth the hassle.

We don't understand the importance of doylies, curtains and cushions.

Prison versus Work

AT WORK you spend most of your time in a 6x8 cubicle.

IN PRISON you get three meals a day.

IN PRISON you get time off for good behavior.

AT WORK you get rewarded for good behavior with more work.

IN PRISON a guard locks and unlocks all the doors for you.

IN PRISON you can watch TV and play games.

The Laws of Work

Just because most of us aren't told the laws, doesn't mean they don't exist.

Ignorance of these laws is no excuse.

The first 90% of project takes 90% of the time, the last 10% takes the other 90% of the time.

If you can't get your work done in the first 24 hours, work nights.

A pat on the back is only a few centimeters from a kick in the butt.

Don't be irreplaceable, if you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted.

It doesn't matter what you do, it only matters what you say you've done and what you're going to do.

After any salary raise, you will have less money at the end of the month than you did before.

The more crap you put up with, the more crap you are going to get.

You can go anywhere you want if you look serious and carry a clipboard.

Eat one live toad the first thing in the morning and nothing worse will happen to you the rest of the day.

When the bosses talk about improving productivity, they are never talking about themselves.

If at first you don't succeed, try again. Then quit. No use being a fool about it.

There will always be beer cans rolling on the floor of your car when the boss asks for a ride home from the office.

Keep your boss's boss off your boss's back.

Everything can be filed under "miscellaneous."

Never delay the ending of a meeting or the beginning of a cocktail hour.

To err is human, to forgive is not our policy.

Anyone can do any amount of work provided it isn't the work he/she is supposed to be doing.

Important letters that contain no errors will develop errors in the mail.

If you are good, you will be assigned all the work. If you are really good, you will get out of it.

You are always doing something marginal when the boss drops by your desk.

People who go to conferences are the ones who shouldn't.

If it wasn't for the last minute, nothing would get done.

At work, the authority of a person is inversely proportional to the number of pens that person is carrying.

When you don't know what to do, walk fast and look worried.

Following the rules will not get the job done.

Getting the job done is no excuse for not following the rules.

When confronted by a difficult problem you can solve it more easily by reducing it to the question, "How would the Lone Ranger handle this?"

No matter how much you do, you never do enough.

The last person that quit or was fired will be held responsible for everything that goes wrong.

A womans guide

1. Never do housework. No man ever made love to a woman because the house was spotless.

2. Remember you are known by the idiot you accompany.

3. Don't imagine you can change a man - unless he's in diapers.

4. What do you do if your boyfriend walks out? You shut the door.

5. So many men - so many reasons not to sleep with any of them.

6. If they put a man on the moon, they should be able to put them all there.

7. Tell him you're not his type - you have a pulse.

8. Never let your man's mind wander. It's too little to be let out alone.

9. The only reason men are on this planet is that vibrators can't dance or buy drinks.

10. Never sleep with a man who's named his penis.

11. Go for younger men. You might as well. They never mature anyway.

12. A man who can dress himself without looking like Forrest Gump is unquestionably gay.

13. Men are all the same. They just have different faces so you can tell them apart.

14. Definition of a bachelor: a man who has missed the opportunity to make some woman miserable.

15. Women don't make fools of men. Most of them are the do-it-yourself types.

16. The best way to get a man to do something is to suggest they are too old for it.

17. Love is blind, but marriage is a real eye-opener.

18. If you want a committed man, look in a mental hospital.

19. The children of Israel wandered around the desert for 40 years. Even in biblical times, men wouldn't ask for directions.

20. If he asks what sort of books you're interested in, tell him checkbooks.

21. A man's idea of serious commitment is usually "oh alright, I'll stay the night."

22. Women sleep with men, who if they were women, they wouldn't even bother to have lunch with.

23. Remember a sense of humor does not mean that you tell him jokes, it means you laugh at his.

24. If he asks you if you're faking it tell him no, you're just practicing.

25. Sadly, all men are created equal.

26. When he asks you if he's your first, tell him "you may be, you look familiar."

Be Warned...

Police warn all male clubbers, partygoers and unsuspecting pub regulars to be more alert and
cautious when getting a drink offer from a girl. There is a date rape drug going around called
"beer" and it is generally in liquid form.

The drug is now being used by female sexual predators at parties to convince their male victims to
have sex with them. The shocking statistic is that "beer" is available virtually anywhere!
All girls have to do is persuade a guy to consume a few units of "beer" and simply ask the guy
home for no-strings-attached sex. Men are literally rendered helpless against such attacks.
After several "beers" men will often succumb to desires to perform sex acts on horrific looking
women to whom they would never normally be attracted. Men often awaken after being given
"beer" with only hazy memories of exactly what has happened to them the night before, just a vague feeling that something bad occurred. At other times these unfortunate men might be stung for their
life's worth in a familiar scam know as "a relationship" - apparently men are easier victims for this
scam after the "beer" has been administered and they have already been sexually attacked.

Please! Forward this to every male you know.......... However, if you fall victim to this insidious
drug and the predatory women administering it, there are male support groups with venues in every
town where you can discuss the details of your shocking encounter in an open and frank manner
with a bunch of similarly affected like-minded guys. For the nearest support group near you just
look up 'Public House/Bar/Tavern' in the yellow pages.

Loving it . . .

The woman entered the room, and with a knowing smile teasing her full lips, she sank into the
comfort of the plush chair in the corner.

The handsome stranger turned, having sensed her approach.

Locking his steely gray eyes on hers, he moved slowly toward her, his experienced gaze measuring
her, hypnotizing her with his soft murmurs of assurance.

He sank to his knees before her and without a word, smoothly released her from her
constraining attire.

With a sigh of surrender, she allowed his foreign hands to unleash her bare flesh.

He expertly guided her through this tender, new territory, boldly taking her to heights she had never dared to dream of, his movements deliberate, confident in his ability to satisfy her every need.

Her senses swam.

She was overcome with an aching desire that had gone unfulfilled for so long.

And, just as it seemed that ecstasy was within her grasp, he paused, and for one heart stopping
moment, she thought, "It's too big! - it will never fit!"

Then, with a sudden rush, it slid into place as if it had been made only for her.

As pleasure and contentment washed over her, she met his steady gaze, tears of gratitude
shining in her eyes.

And he knew it wouldn't be long before she returned.

Oh, yes, this woman would want more.

She would want to do it again and again and again............

DON'T YA JUST LOVE SHOPPING FOR SHOES!

Some thoughts for our men

1. The reason why our bras don't always match our underwear is because WE actually change our underwear.

2. The next time you and your buddies joke about armed women in combat, take a poll to see which
of you successfully aim at the toilet rim.

3. If we're watching football with you--it's not bonding--it's their butts.

4. Whenever possible, please try to say whatever you have to say after the movie.

5. Lay off the beans several hours before bedtime.

6. Please don't drive when you're not driving.

7. If you were really looking for an honest answer, you wouldn't ask in bed.

8. The next time you joke about female drivers, research the number of accidents caused by rubber-necking mini-skirts.

9. If only women gossip, how do you and your friends keep track of "who's easy"?

10. Stop telling us most male strippers are gay: we don't care.

11. When you're not around, I belch loudly, too.

12. We don't mind if you look in the mirror to check your appearance -- in fact -- please do !!!

13. When you're out with us, please wear "our" favorite outfit rather than "yours" -- the torn jeans
and dirty T-Shirt will last longer that way.

14. If you must grunt in reply, please develop a system to indicate a positive vs a negative grunt.

15. Don't insist that we "get off the stupid phone," and then not talk to us.

16. Eye contact is best established above our shoulder-level.

17. Cleaning the house is not necessarily "women's work"; besides, most of the "dirt" and clutter is yours anyway.

18. Yes, we know most of the great chefs are men, why is it then you never want to cook?

19. We go to the Ladies Room in groups to talk about you.

20. Yes, we know you can probably beat us arm wrestling; however, very few raises or promotions were gained by arm wrestling the boss.

The Top 100 Things I'd Do If I Ever Became An Evil Overlord

1.My Legions of Terror will have helmets with clear plexiglass visors, not face-concealing ones.

2.My ventilation ducts will be too small to crawl through.

3.My noble half-brother whose throne I usurped will be killed, not kept anonymously imprisoned in a forgotten cell of my dungeon.

4.Shooting is not too good for my enemies.

5.The artifact which is the source of my power will not be kept on the Mountain of Despair beyond
the River of Fire guarded by the Dragons of Eternity. It will be in my safe-deposit box.
The same applies to the object which is my one weakness.

6.I will not gloat over my enemies' predicament before killing them.

7.When I've captured my adversary and he says, "Look, before you kill me, will you at least tell me
what this is all about?" I'll say, "No." and shoot him. No, on second thought I'll shoot him then say "No."

8.After I kidnap the beautiful princess, we will be married immediately in a quiet civil ceremony,
not a lavish spectacle in three weeks' time during which the final phase of my plan will be carried out.

9.I will not include a self-destruct mechanism unless absolutely necessary. If it is necessary, it will
not be a large red button labelled "Danger: Do Not Push". The big red button marked "Do Not Push" will instead trigger a spray of bullets on anyone stupid enough to disregard it. Similarly, the ON/OFF switch will not clearly be labelled as such.

10.I will not interrogate my enemies in the inner sanctum -- a small hotel well outside my borders will work just as well.

11.I will be secure in my superiority. Therefore, I will feel no need to prove it by leaving clues in the form of riddles or leaving my weaker enemies alive to show they pose no threat.

12.One of my advisors will be an average five-year-old child. Any flaws in my plan that he is able to spot will be corrected before implementation.

13.All slain enemies will be cremated, or at least have several rounds of ammunition emptied into
them, not left for dead at the bottom of the cliff. The announcement of their deaths, as well as any accompanying celebration, will be deferred until after the aforementioned disposal.

14.The hero is not entitled to a last kiss, a last cigarette, or any other form of last request.

15.I will never employ any device with a digital countdown. If I find that such a device is absolutely unavoidable, I will set it to activate when the counter reaches 117 and the hero is just putting his
an into operation.

16.I will never utter the sentence "But before I kill you, there's just one thing I want to know."

17.When I employ people as advisors, I will occasionally listen to their advice.

18.I will not have a son. Although his laughably under-planned attempt to usurp power would easily
fail, it would provide a fatal distraction at a crucial point in time.

19.I will not have a daughter. She would be as beautiful as she was evil, but one look at the hero's rugged countenance and she'd betray her own father.

20.Despite its proven stress-relieving effect, I will not indulge in maniacal laughter. When so occupied,
it's too easy to miss unexpected developments that a more attentive individual could adjust to accordingly.

21.I will hire a talented fashion designer to create original uniforms for my Legions of Terror, as opposed to some cheap knock-offs that make them look like Nazi stormtroopers, Roman
foot-soldiers, or savage Mongol hordes. All were eventually defeated and I want my troops to have a more positive mind-set.

22.No matter how tempted I am with the prospect of unlimited power, I will not consume any energy field bigger than my head.

23.I will keep a special cache of low-tech weapons and train my troops in their use. That way -- even
if the heroes manage to neutralize my power generator and/or render the standard-issue energy
weapons useless -- my troops will not be overrun by a handful of savages armed with spears and
rocks.

24.I will maintain a realistic assessment of my strengths and weaknesses. Even though this takes some of the fun out of the job, at least I will never utter the line "No, this cannot be! I AM INVINCIBLE!!!!"
(After that, death is usually instantaneous.)

25.No matter how well it would perform, I will never construct any sort of machinery which is completely indestructible except for one small and virtually inaccessible vulnerable spot.

26.No matter how attractive certain members of the rebellion are, there is probably someone just as attractive who is not desperate to kill me. Therefore, I will think twice before ordering a prisoner
sent to my bedchamber.

27.I will never build only one of anything important. All important systems will have redundant
control panels and power supplies. For the same reason I will always carry at least two fully loaded weapons at all times.

28.My pet monster will be kept in a secure cage from which it cannot escape and into which I could
not accidentally stumble.

29.I will dress in bright and cheery colors, and so throw my enemies into confusion.

30.All bumbling conjurers, clumsy squires, no-talent bards, and cowardly thieves in the land will be preemptively put to death. My foes will surely give up and abandon their quest if they have no source
of comic relief.

31.All naive, busty tavern wenches in my realm will be replaced with surly, world-weary waitresses
who will provide no unexpected reinforcement and/or romantic subplot for the hero or his sidekick.

32.I will not fly into a rage and kill a messenger who brings me bad news just to illustrate how evil I really am. Good messengers are hard to come by.

33.I won't require high-ranking female members of my organization to wear a stainless-steel bustier. Morale is better with a more casual dress-code. Similarly, outfits made entirely from black leather will
be reserved for formal occasions.

34.I will not turn into a snake. It never helps.

35.I will not grow a goatee. In the old days they made you look diabolic. Now they just make you
look like a disaffected member of Generation X.

36.I will not imprison members of the same party in the same cell block, let alone the same cell.
If they are important prisoners, I will keep the only key to the cell door on my person instead of
handing out copies to every bottom-rung guard in the prison.

37.If my trusted lieutenant tells me my Legions of Terror are losing a battle, I will believe him.
After all, he's my trusted lieutenant.

38.If an enemy I have just killed has a younger sibling or offspring anywhere, I will find them and
have them killed immediately, instead of waiting for them to grow up harboring feelings of vengeance towards me in my old age.

39.If I absolutely must ride into battle, I will certainly not ride at the forefront of my Legions of
Terror, nor will I seek out my opposite number among his army.

40.I will be neither chivalrous nor sporting. If I have an unstoppable superweapon, I will use it as
early and as often as possible instead of keeping it in reserve.

41.Once my power is secure, I will destroy all those pesky time-travel devices.

42.When I capture the hero, I will make sure I also get his dog, monkey, ferret, or whatever
sickeningly cute little animal capable of untying ropes and filching keys happens to follow him around.

43.I will maintain a healthy amount of skepticism when I capture the beautiful rebel and she claims
she is attracted to my power and good looks and will gladly betray her companions if I just let her
in on my plans.

44.I will only employ bounty hunters who work for money. Those who work for the pleasure of the
hunt tend to do dumb things like even the odds to give the other guy a sporting chance.

45.I will make sure I have a clear understanding of who is responsible for what in my organization.
For example, if my general screws up I will not draw my weapon, point it at him, say "And here is
the price for failure," then suddenly turn and kill some random underling.

46.If an advisor says to me "My liege, he is but one man. What can one man possibly do?", I will
reply "This." and kill the advisor.

47.If I learn that a callow youth has begun a quest to destroy me, I will slay him while he is still a
callow youth instead of waiting for him to mature.

48.I will treat any beast which I control through magic or technology with respect and kindness.
Thus if the control is ever broken, it will not immediately come after me for revenge.

49.If I learn the whereabouts of the one artifact which can destroy me, I will not send all my troops
out to seize it. Instead I will send them out to seize something else and quietly put a Want-Ad in the
local paper.

50.My main computers will have their own special operating system that will be completely
incompatible with standard IBM and Macintosh powerbooks.

51.If one of my dungeon guards begins expressing concern over the conditions in the beautiful
princess' cell, I will immediately transfer him to a less people-oriented position.

52.I will hire a team of board-certified architects and surveyors to examine my castle and inform me
of any secret passages and abandoned tunnels that I might not know about.

53.If the beautiful princess that I capture says "I'll never marry you! Never, do you hear me, NEVER!!!", I will say "Oh well" and kill her.

54.I will not strike a bargain with a demonic being then attempt to double-cross it simply because I
feel like being contrary.

55.The deformed mutants and odd-ball psychotics will have their place in my Legions of Terror. However before I send them out on important covert missions that require tact and subtlety, I will
first see if there is anyone else equally qualified who would attract less attention.

56.My Legions of Terror will be trained in basic marksmanship. Any who cannot learn to hit a
man-sized target at 10 meters will be used for target practice.

57.Before employing any captured artifacts or machinery, I will carefully read the owner's manual.

58.If it becomes necessary to escape, I will never stop to pose dramatically and toss off a one-liner.

59.I will never build a sentient computer smarter than I am.

60.My five-year-old child advisor will also be asked to decipher any code I am thinking of using.
If he breaks the code in under 30 seconds, it will not be used.
Note: this also applies to passwords.

61.If my advisors ask "Why are you risking everything on such a mad scheme?", I will not proceed
until I have a response that satisfies them.

62.I will design fortress hallways with no alcoves or protruding structural supports which intruders could use for cover in a firefight.

63.Bulk trash will be disposed of in incinerators, not compactors. And they will be kept hot,
with none of that nonsense about flames going through accessible tunnels at predictable intervals.

64.I will see a competent psychiatrist and get cured of all extremely unusual phobias and bizarre compulsive habits which could prove to be a disadvantage.

65.If I must have computer systems with publically available terminals, the maps they display of my complex will have a room clearly marked as the Main Control Room. That room will be the
Execution Chamber. The actual main control room will be marked as Sewage Overflow Containment.

66.My security keypad will actually be a fingerprint scanner. Anyone who watches someone press a sequence of buttons or dusts the pad for fingerprints then subsequently tries to enter by repeating that sequence will trigger the alarm system.

67.No matter how many shorts we have in the system, my guards will be instructed to treat every surveillance camera malfunction as a full-scale emergency.

68.I will spare someone who saved my life sometime in the past. This is only reasonable as it encourages others to do so. However, the offer is good one time only. If they want me to spare them again, they'd better save my life again.

69.All midwives will be banned from the realm. All babies will be delivered at state-approved hospitals. Orphans will be placed in foster-homes, not abandoned in the woods to be raised by creatures of the wild.

70.When my guards split up to search for intruders, they will always travel in groups of at least two. They will be trained so that if one of them disappears mysteriously while on patrol, the other will immediately initiate an alert and call for backup, instead of quizzically peering around a corner.

71.If I decide to test a lieutenant's loyalty and see if he/she should be made a trusted lieutenant, I will have a crack squad of marksmen standing by in case the answer is no.

72.If all the heroes are standing together around a strange device and begin to taunt me, I will pull out
a conventional weapon instead of using my unstoppable superweapon on them.

73.I will not agree to let the heroes go free if they win a rigged contest, even though my advisors
assure me it is impossible for them to win.

74.When I create a multimedia presentation of my plan designed so that my five-year-old advisor can
easily understand the details, I will not label the disk "Project Overlord" and leave it lying on top of
my desk.

75.I will instruct my Legions of Terror to attack the hero en masse, instead of standing around waiting while members break off and attack one or two at a time.

76.If the hero runs up to my roof, I will not run up after him and struggle with him in an attempt to
push him over the edge. I will also not engage him at the edge of a cliff. (In the middle of a rope-
bridge over a river of molten lava is not even worth considering.)

77.If I have a fit of temporary insanity and decide to give the hero the chance to reject a job as my trusted lieutentant, I will retain enough sanity to wait until my current trusted lieutenant is out of
earshot before making the offer.

78.I will not tell my Legions of Terror "And he must be taken alive!" The command will be "And try
to take him alive if it is reasonably practical."

79.If my doomsday device happens to come with a reverse switch, as soon as it has been employed
it will be melted down and made into limited-edition commemorative coins.

80.If my weakest troops fail to eliminate a hero, I will send out my best troops instead of wasting
time with progressively stronger ones as he gets closer and closer to my fortress.

81.If I am fighting with the hero atop a moving platform, have disarmed him, and am about to finish
him off and he glances behind me and drops flat, I too will drop flat instead of quizzically turning
around to find out what he saw.

82.I will not shoot at any of my enemies if they are standing in front of the crucial support beam to a heavy, dangerous, unbalanced structure.

83.If I'm eating dinner with the hero, put poison in his goblet, then have to leave the table for any
reason, I will order new drinks for both of us instead of trying to decide whether or not to switch
with him.

84.I will not have captives of one sex guarded by members of the opposite sex.

85.I will not use any plan in which the final step is horribly complicated, e.g. "Align the 12 Stones of Power on the sacred altar then activate the medallion at the moment of total eclipse." Instead it will be more along the lines of "Push the button."

86.I will make sure that my doomsday device is up to code and properly grounded.

87.My vats of hazardous chemicals will be covered when not in use. Also, I will not construct
walkways above them.

88.If a group of henchmen fail miserably at a task, I will not berate them for incompetence then send
the same group out to try the task again.

89.After I captures the hero's superweapon, I will not immediately disband my legions and relax my guard because I believe whoever holds the weapon is unstoppable. After all, the hero held the
weapon and I took it from him.

90.I will not design my Main Control Room so that every workstation is facing away from the door.

91.I will not ignore the messenger that stumbles in exhausted and obviously agitated until my personal grooming or current entertainment is finished. It might actually be important.

92.If I ever talk to the hero on the phone, I will not taunt him. Instead I will say this his dogged perseverance has given me new insight on the futility of my evil ways and that if he leaves me alone
for a few months of quiet contemplation I will likely return to the path of righteousness. (Heroes are incredibly gullible in this regard.)

93.If I decide to hold a double execution of the hero and an underling who failed or betrayed me,
I will see to it that the hero is scheduled to go first.

94.When arresting prisoners, my guards will not allow them to stop and grab a useless trinket of
purely sentimental value.

95.My dungeon will have its own qualified medical staff complete with bodyguards. That way if a prisoner becomes sick and his cellmate tells the guard it's an emergency, the guard will fetch a trauma team instead of opening up the cell for a look.

96.My door mechanisms will be designed so that blasting the control panel on the outside seals the
door and blasting the control panel on the inside opens the door, not vice versa.

97.My dungeon cells will not be furnished with objects that contain reflective surfaces or anything that can be unravelled.

98.If an attractive young couple enters my realm, I will carefully monitor their activities. If I find they
are happy and affectionate, I will ignore them. However if circumstance have forced them together against their will and they spend all their time bickering and criticizing each other except during the intermittent occasions when they are saving each others' lives at which point there are hints of sexual tension, I will immediately order their execution.

99.Any data file of crucial importance will be padded to 1.45Mb in size.

100.Finally, to keep my subjects permanently locked in a mindless trance, I will provide each of them with free unlimited Internet access.

A little article from a German newspaper

"In retrospect, I admit it was unwise to try to gain access to my house via the catflap,"
Gunter Burpus admitted to reporters in Bremen, Germany.

"I suppose that's the reason they're called cat flaps, rather than human flaps, is because they're too
small for people, and perhaps I should have realized that."

Burpus (41), a gardener from Bremen, was relating how he had become trapped in his own front
door for two days, after losing his house keys.

"I got my head and shoulders through the flap but became trapped fast around the waist. At first, it
all seemed rather amusing, I sang songs and told myself jokes. But then I wanted to go to the lavatory.

"I began shouting for help, but my head was in the hallway so my screams were muffled. After a few hours, a group of students approached me but, instead of helping, they removed my trousers and pants,painted my buttocks bright blue, and stuck a daffodil between my cheeks.

Then they placed a sign next to me which said 'Germany resurgent, an essay in street art. Please give generously' and left me there.

"People were passing by and, when I asked for help, they just said "Very good! Very clever!" and
threw coins into my trousers. No one tried to free me. In fact, I only got free after two days because
a dog started licking my private parts and an old woman complained to the police.

The rescue services came and cut me out, but the police arrested me as soon as I was free. Luckily, they've now dropped the charges, and I collected over DM3,000 ($2,000) in my underpants, so the
time wasn't entirely wasted."

Christmas With Louise

As a joke, my brother used to hang a pair of panty hose over his fireplace before Christmas. He said all he wanted was for Santa to fill them.

What they say about Santa checking the list twice must be true because every Christmas morning, although Jay's kids' stockings were overflowed, his poor pantyhose hung sadly empty.

One year I decided to make his dream come true. I put on sunglasses and went in search of an
inflatable love doll. They don't sell those things at Wal-Mart. I had to go to an adult bookstore downtown.

If you've never been in an X-rated store, don't go. You'll only confuse yourself. I was there an hour saying things like, "What does this do?" "You're kidding me!" "Who would buy that?"

Finally, I made it to the inflatable doll section. I wanted to buy a standard, uncomplicated doll that
could also substitute as a passenger in my truck so I could use the car pool lane during rush hour. Finding what I wanted was difficult. "Love Dolls" come in many different models. The top of the line, according to the side of the box, could do things I'd only seen in a book on animal husbandry.

I settled for "Lovable Louise." She was at the bottom of the price scale. To call Louise a "doll" took
a huge leap of imagination. On Christmas Eve and with the help of an old bicycle pump, Louise came to life. My sister-in-law was in on the plan and let me in during the wee morning hours.

Long after Santa had come and gone, I filled the dangling pantyhose with Louise's pliant legs and bottom. I also ate some cookies and drank what remained of a glass of milk on a nearby tray.Then I went home, and giggled for a couple of hours.

The next morning my brother called to say that Santa had been to his house and left a present that
had made him VERY happy but had left the dog confused. She would bark, start to walk away, then come back and bark some more.

We all agreed that Louise should remain in her panty hose so the rest of the family could admire her when they came over for the traditional Christmas dinner. My grandmother noticed Louise the
moment she walked in the door. "What the hell is that?" she asked. My brother quickly explained,
"It's a doll." "Who would play with something like that?" Granny snapped. I had several candidates in
mind, but kept my mouth shut. "Where are her clothes?" Granny continued. "Boy, that turkey sure smells nice, Gran," Jay said, to steer her into the dining room. But Granny was relentless. "Why
doesn't she have any teeth?" Again, I could have answered, but why would I? It was Christmas and no one wanted to ride in the back of the ambulance saying, "Hang on Granny, hang on!"

My grandfather, a delightful old man with poor eyesight, sidled up to me and said, " Hey, who's the naked gal by the fireplace?" I told him she was Jay's friend. A few minutes later I noticed Grandpa by the mantel, talking to Louise. Not just talking, but actually flirting. It was then that we realized this
might be Grandpa's last Christmas at home.

The dinner went well. We made the usual small talk about who had died, who was dying, and who should be killed, when suddenly Louise made a noise like my father in the bathroom in the morning. Then she lurched from the panty hose, flew around the room twice, and fell in a heap in front of the sofa.

The cat screamed. I passed cranberry sauce through my nose, and Grandpa ran across the room,
fell to his knees, and began administering mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. My brother fell back over his chair and wet his pants. Granny threw down her napkin, stomped out of the room, and sat in the car.

It was indeed a Christmas to treasure and remember. Later in my brother's garage, we conducted a thorough examination to decide the cause of Louise's collapse. We discovered that Louise had
suffered from a hot ember to the back of her right thigh. Fortunately, thanks to a wonder drug called duct tape, we restored her to perfect health.

All too rarely, airline attendants make an effort to make the in- flight safety lecture and their other announcements a bit more entertaining. Here are some real examples that have been heard or reported



On a Continental Flight with a very "senior" flight attendant crew, the pilot said, "Ladies and
gentlemen, we've reached cruising altitude and will be turning down the cabin lights. This is for your comfort and to enhance the appearance of your flight attendants."

On a flight to Edinburgh this year, the cabin attendant was warning passengers that smoking was not allowed anywhere in the aircraft. She concluded by saying:"...anyone found smoking at anytime on
this aircraft will be required to leave immediately".

On landing the stewardess said, "Please be sure to take all your belongings. If you are going to leave anything please make sure it's something we'd like to have."

"There may be 50 ways to leave your lover, but there are only 4 ways out of this aeroplane."

"Thank you for flying Delta Business Express. We hope you enjoyed giving us the business as much
as we enjoyed taking you for a ride."

As the plane landed and was coming to a stop at Washington National, a lone voice came over the loudspeaker: "Whoa, big fella. WHOA!"

A flight attendant on a Northwest flight announced: "Please take care when opening the overhead compartments because, after a landing like that, sure as hell everything has shifted."

From a Southwest Airlines employee...."Welcome aboard Southwest Flight XXX to YYY. To
operate your seat belt, insert the metal tab into the buckle, and pull tight. It works just like every other seat belt, and if you don't know how to operate one, you probably shouldn't be out in public unsupervised."

In the event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, masks will descend from the ceiling. Stop screaming, grab the mask, and pull it over your face. If you have a small child travelling with you, secure your
mask before assisting with theirs. If you are travelling with more than one small child...pick your favourite.

Weather at our destination is 50 degrees with some broken clouds, but we'll try to have them fixed before we arrive. Thank you, and remember, nobody loves you, or your money, more than Southwest Airlines."

"Your seat cushions can be used for flotation, and in the event of an emergency water landing, please paddle to shore and take them with our compliments."

"Should the cabin lose pressure, oxygen masks will drop from the overhead area. Please place the
bag over your own mouth and nose before assisting children... or other adults acting like children."

"As you exit the plane, make sure to gather all of your belongings. Anything left behind will be distributed evenly among the flight attendants. Please do not leave children or spouses."

"Last one off the plane must clean it."

And from the pilot during his welcome message: "Delta airlines is pleased to have some of the best
flight attendants in the industry. Unfortunately, none of them are on this flight!"

Heard on Southwest Airlines just after a very hard landing in Salt Lake City: The flight attendant came on the intercom and said, "That was quite a bump and I know what y'all are thinking. I'm here to tell you
it wasn't the airline's fault, it wasn't the pilot's fault, it wasn't the flight attendant's fault ... it was the asphalt!"

Overheard on an American Airlines flight into Amarillo, Texas, on a particularly windy and bumpy
day. During the final approach the Captain really had to fight it. After an extremely hard landing, the Flight Attendant said, "Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Amarillo. Please remain in your seats with your seat belts fastened while the Captain taxis what's left of our aeroplane to the gate!"

Another flight attendant's comment on a less than perfect landing: "We ask you to please remain
seated as Captain Kangaroo bounces us to the terminal."

After a real crusher of a landing in Phoenix, the Flight Attendant came on with, "Ladies and
Gentlemen, please remain in your seats until Capt. Crash and the Crew have brought the aircraft to a screeching halt against the gate. And, once the tire smoke has cleared and the warning bells are
silenced, we'll open the door and you can pick your way through the wreckage to the terminal."

Part of a flight attendant's arrival announcement: "We'd like to thank you folks for flying with us today. And, the next time you get the insane urge to go blasting through the skies in a pressurised metal tube, we hope you'll think of US Airways."

A plane was taking off from Kennedy Airport. After it reached a comfortable cruising altitude, the captain made an announcement over the intercom, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain
speaking. Welcome to Flight Number 293, non-stop from New York to Los Angeles. The weather
ahead is good and therefore we should have a smooth and uneventful flight. Now sit back and relax -- OH MY GOD! "Silence followed and after a few minutes, the captain came back on the intercom and said, "Ladies and Gentlemen, I am so sorry if I scared you earlier, but while I was talking, the flight attendant brought me a cup of coffee and spilled the hot coffee in my lap. You should see the front
of my pants!" A passenger in Coach said, "That's nothing, he should see the back of mine

Duck Sex

 A German guy approaches a prostitute.
 "I vish to buy sex vit you".
 "OK" says the girl, "I'll charge 20 an hour".
 "Ist goot, but I must varn you, I am a little kinky".
 "No problem" she replies cautiously, "I can do a little kinky".
 So off they go to the girl's flat, where the German produces four Large bedsprings and a duck caller.
 "I vant you to tie ze springs to each of your limbs".
 The girl finds this most odd, but complies, fastening the springs to her hands and knees.
 "Now you vill get on your hans und knees" She duly does this, balancing on the springs.
 "You vill please blow Zis vistle as I make love to you." She finds this odd, but figures it's harmless, 
and the guy is paying. The sex is fantastic. She is bounced all over the room by the energetic German, all the time
honking on the duck caller.
The climax is the most sensational that she has ever experienced, and it is several minutes before
she has recovered the breath to say:"That was totally amazing, what do you call that?"....... (Please scroll down for the punch line!) >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> "Ah", says the German, "Four-sprung duck technique".

IT Tech support

FROM A FEMALE PERSPECTIVE

Dear Tech Support,

Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a slowdown in the performance of the flower and jewellery applications that had operated flawlessly under the boyfriend 5.0 system. In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs such as Romance 9.9 but installed undesirable programs such as Test Cricket 7.4, Sky Sports 2.2 and World Cup 4.1.
Conversation 8.0 also no longer runs and Housecleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system. I've tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail. What can I do?

Dear User,

First, keep in mind that Boyfriend 5.0 was an entertainment package while Husband 1.0 is an operating system.
Try to enter the command C:/ I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME and install Tears 6.2 . Husband 1.0. should then automatically run the applications Guilt 3.3 and Flowers 7.5. But remember, overuse can cause Husband 1.0. to default to such background applications as Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0 or Beer 6.1.

Please remember that Beer 6.1 is a very bad program that will create Snoring Loudly.WAV files.

DO NOT install Mother-in-law 1.0 or reinstall another Boyfriend program - these are not supported applications and will crash Husband 1.0. It could also potentially cause Husband 1.0 to default to the program Girlfriend 9.2 which runs in the background and has been known to introduce potentially serious viruses into the operating system.

In summary Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have a limited memory and can't learn new applications quickly. You might consider buying additional software to enhance his system performance. I personally recommend Hot Food 3.0 and Single Malt Scotch 4.5 combined with such applications as Blow Job 6.9 and that old standby Lingerie 7.9 (which have both been credited with improved performance of his hardware).

FROM A MALE PERSPECTIVE

Eighteen months ago I upgraded to Girlfriend 1.0 from Drinking Mates 4.2 which I'd used for years without any trouble. However, there are apparently conflicts between these two products and the only solution was to try and run Girlfriend 1.0 with the sound turned off.

To make matters worse, Girlfriend 1.0 is also incompatible with several other applications, such as Lads Night Out 3.1, Football 2.0 and Playboy 6.1 .

Successive versions of Girlfriend have proved no better. A shareware beta-programme, Party Girl 2.1 had many bugs and left a virus in my system forcing me to shut down completely for several weeks. Eventually I tried to run Girlfriend 1.2 and Girlfriend 1.0 at the same time only to discover that when these two systems detected each other they caused severe damage to all my hardware.

Seeing a way out I upgraded to Fianc�e 1.0 only to discover that this product has to be upgraded to Wife 1.0. I did this largely because whilst Wife 1.0 uses up all the available resources, it does come bundled with FreeSex Plus and Cleanhouse 2000.

However I discovered that Wife 1.0 can be very unstable and costly to run. For example, any mistakes I made were automatically stored in Wife 1.0's memory and could not be deleted. Not only that, they then resurfaced months later.

Wife 1.0 also has an automatic Diary Explorer and E-mail porn filter, and can without warning launch Hot Tongue 2.1 and Cold Shoulder 4.2 These latter products have no help files and require you to try and guess the problem yourself.

Additional costly problems are that the Wife 1.0 bundle that came with the original system needs updating regularly, requiring Shoe Shop Browser Pro for new attachments and Hairstyle Express needs to be reinstalled every other week.

Wife 1.0 also has a rather annoying pop-up called Mother-in-Law which can't be turned off. Any Suggestions?

Dear User,

Take your whole package Wife 1.0, and trade in for a new improved version........ either Wife 2.0 or Mistress 1.0 !!!

Mary Poppins

Mary Poppins was travelling home, but due to worsening weather, she decided to stop at a hotel for
the night. She approached the Receptionist and asked for a room for the night.
�Certainly madam,� he replied courteously.
�Is the restaurant open still?� inquired Mary.
�Sorry, no,� came the reply, �but room service is available all night. Would you care to
select something from this menu?�
Mary smiled and took the menu and perused it. � I would like cauliflower cheese please,�
�Certainly, madam,� the Receptionist replied.
�And can I have breakfast in bed?� enquired Mary.
The receptionist nodded and smiled.
�In that case, I would love a couple of poached eggs, please,� Mary said.
After confirming the order, Mary signed in and went up to her room for the night.
The next morning Mary came down early to check out. The same guy was still on the desk.
�Morning madam.Did you sleep well?�
�Yes, thank you,� Mary replied.
�Food to your liking?�
�Well, I have to say the cauliflower cheese was exceptional, I don�t think I have had better.
Shame about the eggs, though... they really weren�t that nice at all,�
replied Mary truthfully. �Oh! Well, perhaps you could contribute your thoughts to our Guest Comments Book.
We are always looking to improve our service and would value your opinion,�
said the receptionist.
�OK, I will, thanks!� replied Mary. She scribbled a comment into the book and left to
continue her journey. Curious, the receptionist picked up the book and read:

�Supercauliflowercheesebuteggswerequiteatrocious�

Blue Suit

A bereaved woman goes into a funeral home to make arrangements for her husband's funeral. She tells the director that she wants her husband to be buried in a dark blue suit.
He asks, "Wouldn't itjust be easier to bury him in the black suit that he's wearing?"
"No," she insists. "It must be a blue suit." She then gives him a blank check to buy one.

When she comes back for the wake, she sees her husband in the coffin and he is wearing a beautiful blue suit.
She tells the director, "That is absolutely perfect! I love it! How much did it cost?"
He says, "Actually, it didn't cost anything. The funniest thing happened.As soon as you left, another corpse was brought in, this one wearing a blue suit.
I noticed that they were about the same size, and asked the other widow if she would mind if her husband were buried in a black suit. She said that was fine with her.

So, I switched the heads."

22 Reasons Why English is Hard to Learn!


1)	The bandage was wound around the wound.
2)	The farm was used to produce produce.
3)	The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse.
4)	We must polish the Polish furniture.
5)	He could lead if he would get the lead out.
6)	The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert.
7)	Since there is no time like the present, he thought it was time to present the present.
8)	A bass was painted on the head of the bass drum.
9)	When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes.
10)	I did not object to the object.
11)	The insurance was invalid for the invalid.
12)	There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row.
13)	They were too close to the door to close it.
14)	The buck does funny things when the does are present.
15)	A seamstress and a sewer fell down into a sewer line.
16)	To help with planting, the farmer taught his sow to sow.
17)	The wind was too strong to wind the sail.
18)	After a number of injections my jaw got number.
19)	Upon seeing the tear in the painting I shed a tear.
20)	I had to subject the subject to a series of tests.
21)	How can I intimate this to my most intimate friend?
22)	The accountant at the music store records records of the records.

Let�s face it-English is a crazy language. There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger; neither 
apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren�t invented in England or French fries in France.
Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren�t sweet, are meat. We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly,
boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig. And why is it that
writers write, but fingers don�t fing, grocers don�t groce and hammers don�t ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn�t the plural of booth beeth? One goose, 2 geese. So one moose, 2 meese? One index, 2 indices? Doesn�t it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend, that you comb through annals
of history but not a single annal? If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of
them, what do you call it?
If teachers taught, why didn�t preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a
humanitarian eat?

Sometimes I think all the English speakers should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane.

In what language do people recite at a play and play at a recital? Ship by truck and send cargo
by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell?
How can a slim chance and a
fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites?

How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike?
How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell another?

Have you noticed that we talk about certain things only when they are absent?
Have you ever seen a horsefull carriage or a strapfull gown?
Met a sung hero or experienced requited love?
Have you ever run into someone who was combobulated, gruntled, ruly or peccable?
And where are all those people who are spring chickens or who would actually hurt a fly?

You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it
burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out,in which an alarm goes off by going on.
English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race
(which, of course, isn�t a race at all).
That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out,
they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it, but when I wind up this essay,
I end it.

Nineteen things that it took me a long time to learn

1. Never under any circumstances take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night. 

2. If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be "meetings." 

3. There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness." 

4. People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them. 

5. And when God, who created the entire universe with all of its glories, decides to deliver a message to humanity, He WILL NOT use, as His messenger, a person on cable TV with a bad hairstyle... 

6. You should not confuse your career with your life. 

7. No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too seriously. 

8. When trouble arises and things look bad, there is always one individual who perceives a solution and is willing to take command...Very often, that individual is crazy. 

9. Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance. 

10. Never lick a steak knife. 

11. Take out the fortune before you eat the cookie. 

12. The most powerful force in the universe is gossip. 

13. You will never find anybody giving a clear and compelling reason why we observe daylight savings time. 

14. You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests that you think she's pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment.
 
15. There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to make a big deal about your birthday. That time is age eleven.
 
16. "The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside, we ALL believe that we are above average drivers. 

17. The main accomplishment of almost all organized protests is to annoy people who are not in them.
 
18. A person who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person. 

19. Your friends love you anyway.

Swinging


A man is in bed with his wife when there is a rat-a-tat-tat on the door. He rolls over and looks at his clock, 
and it's half past three in the morning. "I'm not getting out of bed at this time," he thinks, and rolls over.

Then, a louder knock follows. 

"Aren't you going to answer that?" says his wife, So he drags himself out of bed, and goes downstairs. 
He opens the door and there is man standing at the door. It didn't take the homeowner long
to realize the man was drunk.
"Hi there," slurs the stranger, "can you give me a push?" "No, get lost, it's half past three. I was in bed." says the man and slams the door.
He goes back up to bed and tells his wife what happened and she says, "Dave, that wasn't very
nice of you. Remember that night we broke down in the pouring rain on the way to pick the kids up
from the baby-sitter and you had to knock on that man's house to get us started again?
What would have happened if he'd told us to get lost?" "But the guy was drunk!" says the husband. "It doesn't matter." says the wife. "He needs our help and it would be the right thing to help him." So the husband out of bed again, gets dressed, and goes downstairs.
He opens the door, and not being able to see the stranger anywhere he shouts:
"Hey, do you still want a push??" and he hears a voice cry out "Yeah please." So, still being unable to see the stranger he shouts: "Where are you?" And the stranger replies: "I'm over here, on your swing."
