Deep Wisdom
[Ed: Another one from Pat - he has been busy lately! Thanks]
Love is grand; divorce is a hundred grand.
I am in shape. Round is a shape.
Conscience is what hurts when everything else feels so good.
Talk is cheap because supply exceeds demand.
Even if you are on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there.
Politicians and diapers have one thing in common. They should both be changed regularly and for the same reason.
An optimist thinks that this is the best possible world. A pessimist fears that this is true.
There will always be death and taxes; however, death doesn't get worse every year.
In just two days, tomorrow will be yesterday.
I am a nutritional overachiever.
I plan on living forever. So far, so good.
If marriage were outlawed, only outlaws would have in-laws.
It's frustrating when you know all the answers, but nobody bothers to ask you the questions.
Age doesn't always bring wisdom. Sometimes age comes alone.
Life not only begins at forty, it also begins to show.

The User Menace
[Quoted from The Register]
Based on experience, I don't think these people are kidding:
The results of a study released this week confirms what the world's BOFHs and sysadmins have known for ages: that users are a dangerous menace who should not be allowed near anything more advanced than a fridge.
A staggering one in seven technologically challenged employees needs help even switching their computers on and off, according to research commissioned by City & Guilds.
The UK vocational awarding body's study of 405 random UK financial directors revealed that, despite the fact that PCs have been around for over thirty years, getting to grips with the devices is totally beyond many British office workers. A fifth were found to struggle to save a document, more than one in five need assistance printing, while a quarter cannot understand a spreadsheet.

Think about it!
[Ed: This one is from Pat in the UK! Thanks, Pat]
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 the neighbour's newspaper, that's the time to do it.
Never test the depth of the water with both feet.
It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.
If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of car payments.
If you tell the truth you don't have to remember anything.
If you lend someone $20, and never see that person again; it was probably worth it.
Some days you are the bug, some days you are the windshield.
If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.
Never ask a barber if he thinks you need a haircut.
"To the world you might be one person, but to one person you might be the world."
A coincidence is when God performs a miracle, and decides to remain anonymous."
Sometimes the majority only means that all the fools are on the same side.
"Learn from the mistakes of others. You can't live long enough to make them all yourself."

Marriage Made in Heaven
[Another Jivha special!]
On their way to get married, a young couple are involved in a fatal car accident. The couple find themselves sitting outside the Pearly Gates waiting for St. Peter to process them into Heaven. While waiting, they begin to wonder: Could they possibly get married in Heaven? When St. Peter shows up, they asked him. St. Peter says, "I don't know. This is the first time anyone has asked. Let me go find out," and he leaves.
The couple sat and waited for an answer. . .
. . .for a couple of months.
While they waited, they discussed that IF they were allowed to get married in Heaven, SHOULD they get married, what with the eternal aspect of it all.
"What if it doesn't work?" they wondered, "Are we stuck together FOREVER?"
After yet another month, St. Peter finally returns, looking somewhat bedraggled. "Yes," he informs the couple, "you CAN get married in Heaven."
"Great!" said the couple, "But we were just wondering, what if things don't work out? Could we also get a divorce in Heaven?"
St. Peter, red-faced with anger, slams his clipboard onto the ground.
"What's wrong?" asked the frightened couple.
"OH, COME ON!!" St. Peter shouts, "It took me three months to find a priest up here! Do you have ANY idea how long it'll take me to find a lawyer?

Wisdom of Youth
[Ed: This one is from Pat in the UK! Thanks, Pat]
A little girl was diligently pounding away on her father's word processor. She told him she was writing a story. "What's it about?" he asked. "I don't know," she replied. "I can't read."
**************
A mother was telling her little girl what her own childhood was like "We used to skate outside on a pond. I had a swing made from a tire; it hung from a tree in our front yard. We rode our pony. We picked wild raspberries in the woods."
The little girl was wide-eyed, taking this in. At last she said, "I sure wish I'd gotten to know you sooner!"
**************
When my grandson asked me how old I was, I teasingly replied, "I'm not sure." "Look in your underwear, Grandma," he advised. "Mine says I'm four."

The Family Tree
[Via email from Jivha.]
The Smith's were proud of their family tradition. Their ancestors had come to America on the Mayflower. More recent ancestors had included Senators and Wall Street wizards.
They decided to compile a family history, a legacy for their children and grandchildren. They hired a fine author. Only one problem arose: how to handle that great-uncle who was executed in the electric chair. The author said he could handle that chapter of their history tactfully.
Two years later, the book was published. It said: "Great-uncle George occupied a chair of applied electronics at an important government institution, was attached to his position by the strongest of ties and his death came as a real shock."

Patrick's Rules?
Thanks for this entry goes to Pat. I have also seen this called Dilbert's rules....
Patrick's Rules of Order, replaces Roberts Rules of Order

3. Tell me what you need, & I'll tell you how to get along without it.
4. Accept that some days you are the pigeon & some days the statue.
5. Needing someone is like needing a parachute. If he /she isn't there the first time, chances are you won't be needing him /her again.

12. Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, because you are crunchy & taste good with ketchup.

22. When you don't know what to do, walk fast & look worried.
23. Following the rules will not get the job done.

"Brenda, may I come in?" he asks. "I've somethin' to tell ya."
"Of course you can come in, you're always welcome, Tim. But where's my husband?"
"That's what I'm here to be tellin' ya, Brenda. There was an accident down at the Guinness brewery..."
"Oh, God no!" cries Brenda. "Please don't tell me."
"I must, Brenda. Your husband Shamus is dead and gone. I'm sorry."
Finally, she looked up at Tim. "How did it happen, Tim?"
"It was terrible, Brenda. He fell into a vat of Guinness Stout and drowned."
"Oh my dear Jesus! But you must tell me true, Tim. Did he at least go quickly?"
"Well, no Brenda ... no. Fact is, he got out three times to have a p*ss."

Two Husbands
Maria, an Italian woman was extrememly religious. When she was married, she refused to use protection because she felt that birth control was going against God's will. She and her husband had seventeen kids.
Maria's husband got sick and passed away. As time went by, Maria moved on with her life and married another man. Again, she refused to use protection because of her religious beliefs. She and her second husband have fifteen kids.
Again, Maria lost her husband. But, soon after her husband's death, she passed away as well. At the ceremony at the cemetery the priest looked down at the coffin then looked up at the sky and said, "They're finally together."
This confuses one of the family members at the service and after the ceremony, asks the priest.
Father," he starts, "back at the cemetery when you said, 'they're finally together,' did you mean Maria and her first husband, or Maria and her second husband?"
The father takes a long look and him and says, "I was talking about her legs."

Drunk and Deaf
An Irishman who had a little too much to drink is driving home from the city one night and, of course, his car is weaving violently all over the road.
A cop pulls him over. "So," says the cop to the driver, "where have ya been?"
"Why, I've been to the pub of course," slurs the drunk.
"Well," says the cop, "it looks like you've had quite a few to drink this evening."
"I did all right," the drunk says with a smile.
"Did you know," says the cop, standing straight and folding his arms across his chest, "that a few intersections back, your wife fell out of your car?"
"Oh, thank heavens," sighs the drunk. "For a minute there, I thought I'd gone deaf."

Training...
One day a pirate and a bartender were talking to each other in a bar. The bartender asked the pirate, "Where did ya get that peg leg from?"
The pirate responded, "We were sailing the seas when a big old shark came up to me while I was swimmin' and bit off me leg."
Later the bartender asked, "Where did you get that hook then?"
The pirate responded, "Well, me crew and I were in a battle and it got cut through the bone."
The bartender then asked, "Then where did ya get the eye patch from?"
The pirate said, "In a harbor I looked at a gull flying over-head and it took a dump right in me eye."
The bartender was puzzled and asked the pirate, "How would that make you get an eye patch?"
The pirate responded, "First day with the hook."

Marketing Techniques and Terminology
The buzz word in today's business world is MARKETING. However, people often confuse marketing, spam, public relations, advertising and sales, etc., so here is a simple explanation of "Marketing."
OK, let's suppose you're a woman and you see a handsome guy at a party. You go up to him and say, "I'm fantastic in bed." That's Direct Marketing.
You're at a party with a bunch of friends and see a handsome guy. One of your friends goes up to him and pointing at you says, "She's fantastic in bed." That's Advertising.
You see a handsome guy at a party. You go up to him and get his telephone number. The next day you call and say, "Hi, I'm fantastic in bed." That's Telemarketing.
You see a guy at a party, you straighten your dress. You walk up to him and pour him a drink. You say, "May I," and reach up to straighten his tie, brushing your breast lightly against his arm, and then say, "By the way, I'm fantastic in bed." That's Public Relations.
You're at a party and see a handsome guy. He walks up to you and says, "I hear you're fantastic in bed." That's Brand Recognition.
You're at a party and see a handsome guy. He fancies you, but you talk him into going home with your friend. That's Sales.
Your friend can't satisfy him so she calls you. That's Tech Support.
You're on your way to a party when you realize that there could be handsome men in all these houses you're passing. So you climb onto the roof and shout at the top of your lungs, "I'm fantastic in bed!" That's Spam.
You are at a party, this well-built man walks up to you and gropes your breast and grabs your ass. That's Arnold Schwarzenegger!
You liked it, but 20 years later your attorney decides you were offended. That's America!

Confusion?
For weeks a six-year old lad kept telling his first-grade teacher about the baby brother or sister that was expected at his house.
One day the mother allowed the boy to feel the movements of the unborn child. The six-year old was obviously impressed, but made no comment.
Furthermore, he stopped telling his teacher about the impending event.
The teacher finally sat the boy on her lap and said, "Johnny, whatever has become of that baby brother or sister you were expecting at home?"
Johnny burst into tears and confessed, "I think Mommy ate it!"

Gigaburger
[The Urban Legend for today comes all the way from SWEN.]
EXPERTS WARN OF THREAT FROM 100GB BUG ANALYSTS SAY MCDONALD'S HEADING FOR BANKRUPTCY WORLD ECONOMY WILL BE DEVASTATED
Firebringer News Service (FBNS) - Experts warned today of a new and deadly threat to our beleaguered civilization: the 100GB Bug. As most people know, McDonald's restaurant signs show the number of hamburgers the giant chain has sold. That number now stands at 99 billion burgers, or 99 Gigaburgers (GB). Within months or even weeks, that number will roll over to 100GB. McDonald's signs, however, were designed years ago, when the prospect of selling one hundred billion hamburgers seemed unthinkably remote. So the signs have only two decimal places.
This means that, after the sale of the 100 billionth burger, McDonald's signs will read "00 Billion Burgers Sold." This, experts predict, will convince the public that, in over thirty years, no McDonald's hamburgers have ever in fact been sold, causing a complete collapse of consumer confidence in McDonald's products.
The ensuing catastrophic drop in sales is seen as almost certain to force the already-troubled company into bankruptcy. This, in turn, will push the teetering American economy over the brink, which, finally, will complete the total devastation of the global economy, ending civilization as we know it, and forcing us all to live on beetles.
"The people who know -- the sign-makers -- are really scared of 100GB," one expert said. "I don't know about you, but I'm digging up a copy of THE FIELD GUIDE TO NORTH AMERICAN INSECTS and heading for the hills."

Plausible?
[This wonderful Urban legend was submitted by Jivha.]
History About The Middle Finger!
Isn't history more fun when you know something about it?
Giving the Finger
Before the Battle of Agincourt in 1415, the French, anticipating victory over the English, proposed to cut off the middle finger of all captured English soldiers. Without the middle finger it would be impossible to draw the renowned English longbow and therefore be incapable of fighting in the future.
This famous weapon was made of the native English Yew tree, and the act of drawing the longbow was known as "plucking the yew" (or "pluck yew"). Much to the bewilderment of the French, the English won a major upset and began mocking the French by waving their middle fingers at the defeated French, saying, "See, we can still pluck yew! -�"PLUCK YEW!"
Since 'pluck yew' is rather difficult to say, the difficult consonant cluster at the beginning has gradually changed to a labiodental fricative 'F', and thus the words often used in conjunction with the one-finger-salute are mistakenly thought to have something to do with an intimate encounter.
It is also because of the pheasant feathers on the arrows used w/ the longbow that the symbolic gesture is known as -�"giving the bird."
And yew thought yew knew everything.

Joke Adaption
When I was a kid, all the jokes were about the Irish:
Q. How do you confuse an Irishman? A. Put three spades against a tree and tell him to take his pick!
Then as I got older, the same jokes were told about blondes:
Q. How do you confuse a blonde? A. Put her in a round room and tell her to sit in the corner?
Occasionally an event in the international scene would change things. After the assasination of the Indian Prime Minister we got:
Q. How do you confuse a Seikh? A. Give him a piece of paper with PTO (Please Turn Over) on both sides
Really the nationality or hair colour has nothing to do with the joke. It just provides a context to run the joke against. Well one of the oldest jokes I can remember hearing as a child was this one:
There was an Irishman who went to work with one red sock and one green sock. Somebody stopped him and said "You've got one red sock and one green sock on". The Irishman smiled and responded "Yes, and I have another pair like this at home...."
Over time, the Irishman became a blonde and then when my Grandpa went to India on a mission, the first joke he heard was this one with a Sikh instead. What is the point to this long rambling entry?
I just received this in an email (thanks Andrew):
François, a Frenchman, went to work with one red sock and one blue sock. Somebody stopped him and said "You've got one red sock and one blue sock on". François smiled and responded "Oui, and I have another pair like this at home...."
