A young woman wasn't feeling well, and asked one her co-workers to recommend a physician. "I
know a great one in the city, but he is very expensive. Five hundred
dollars for the first visit, and one hundred dollars for each one after
that." The woman went to the doctor's office and, trying to save a little money, cheerily announced. "I'm back!" Not
fooled for a second, the doctor quickly examined her and said, "Very
good, just continue the treatment I prescribed on your last visit." Continue reading ...
A doctor and a lawyer met at a party. Their conversation was
interrupted repeatedly by guests asking the doctor for medical advice.
Finally, the exasperated doctor turned to the lawyer and said, "Tell
me, what do you do to stop people from asking you for legal advice when
you're out of the office?" "When they ask, I give them advice", replied the lawyer, "and then I send them a bill in the morning." The
doctor decided to take the lawyer's advice and for the rest of the
evening wrote down the na... Continue reading ...
The woman's husband had been slipping in and out of a coma for
several months, yet she had stayed by his bedside every single day. One
day, when he came to, he motioned for her to come nearer. As she sat by
him, he whispered, eyes full of tears, "You know what? You have been
with me all through the bad times. When I got fired, you were there to
support me. When my business failed, you were there. When I got shot,
you were by my side. When we lost the house, you stayed right here.
When my heal... Continue reading ...
This 85-year-old couple, having been married almost 60 years, died
in a car crash. They had been in good health the last 10 years, mainly
due to her interest in health food and exercise. When they
reached the pearly gates, St. Peter took them to their mansion, which
was decked out with a beautiful kitchen, master bath suite and Jacuzzi. As
they oohed and aahed, the old man asked Peter how much all this was
going to cost. "It's free," Peter replied. "This is Heaven." Next
they went out back to su... Continue reading ...
A concerned husband went to a doctor to talk about his wife.
"Doctor, I think my wife is deaf because she never hears me the first
time and always asks me to repeat things." "Well," the doctor
replied, "go home and tonight stand about 15 feet from her and say
something to her. If she doesn't reply move about 5 feet closer and say
it again. Keep doing this so that we'll get an idea about the severity
of her deafness." Sure enough, the husband goes home and does
exactly as instructed. He starts o... Continue reading ...
A man was wheeling himself frantically down the hall of the hospital
in his wheelchair, just before his operation. A nurse stopped him and
asked, "What's the matter?" He said, "I heard the nurse say, 'It's a very simple operation, don't worry, I'm sure it will be all right.'" "She was just trying to comfort you, what's so frightening about that?" "She wasn't talking to me. She was talking to the doctor!" Continue reading ...
While my friend was working as a receptionist for an eye surgeon, a
very angry woman stormed up to her desk. "Someone stole my wig while I
was having surgery yesterday," she complained. The doctor came
out and tried to calm her down. "I assure you that no one on my staff
would have done such a thing," he said. "Why do you think it was taken
here?" "After the operation, I noticed the wig I was wearing was cheap-looking and ugly." "I think" explained the surgeon gently, "that means your cataract o... Continue reading ...

Newsflash
Microsoft today announced that it will be changing its name to "Moft"
-- which will clear up space on user's hard disks. It is estimated that
a typical Windows 95 installation contains about 2,800,000 copies of
the word "Microsoft", in copyright notices, end-user licence
agreements, 'About' screens, etc. So, after the change, a user will
have about 14 MBytes more disk space. Stock prices of hard-disk
manufacturers dipped slightly after the announcement.
"Well, the programs will tak... Continue reading ...
A pilot, Michael Jordon, Bill
Gates, the Pope, and a pizza delivery man were all in a plane together
traveling through stormy conditions.
Suddenly, the pilot came running back to the passengers and announced
that lightning had hit the plane, and they were going to crash in a
matter of minutes. "There are only enough parachutes for four of the
five of us," he announced. "Since I'm the pilot, I get one!" After
saying this, the pilot grabbed a parachute and jumped out of the plane.
"I'm the worl... Continue reading ...
Bill Gates suddenly dies and
finds himself face to face with God. God stood over Bill Gates and
said, "Well Bill, I'm really confused on this one. It's a tough
decision; I'm not sure whether to send you to Heaven or Hell. After
all, you helped society enormously by putting a computer in almost
every home in America, yet you also created that ghastly Windows '95
among other indiscretions. I believe I'll do something I've never done
before; I'll let you decide where you want to go."
Bill pushed... Continue reading ...
Bill Clinton, Boris Yeltsin, and
Bill Gates were called in by God. God informed them that he was very
unhappy about what was going on in this world. Since things were so
bad, he told the three that he was destroying the Earth in 3 days. They
were all allowed to return to their homes and businesses and tell their
friends and colleagues what was happening. God did tell them though,
that no matter what they did he was "not" changing his mind.
Bill Clinton went in and told his staff, "I have good... Continue reading ...
Satan greets him: "Welcome Mr.
Gates, we've been waiting for you. This will be your home for all
eternity. You've been selfish, greedy and a big liar all your life.
Now, since you've got me in a good mood, I'll be generous and give you
a choice of three places in which you'll be locked up forever.
Satan takes Bill to a huge lake of fire in which millions of poor souls
are tormented and tortured. He then takes him to a massive coliseum
where thousands of people are chased about and devoured by... Continue reading ...

A pilot is flying a small, single-engine, charter plane with a couple
of really important executives on board into Seattle airport. There is
fog so thick that visibility is 40 feet, and his instruments are out.
He circles looking for a landmark and after an hour, he is low on fuel
and his passengers are very nervous.
At last, through a small opening in the fog he sees a tall building
with one guy working alone on the fifth floor. Circling, the pilot
banks and shouts through his open window:... Continue reading ...
30 Signs That Technology Has Taken Over Your Life
1. Your stationery is more cluttered than Warren Beatty's address book.
The letterhead lists a fax number, e-mail addresses for two on-line
services, and your Internet address, which spreads across the breadth
of the letterhead and continues to the back.
In essence, you have conceded that the first page of any letter you write *is* letterhead.
2. You have never sat through an entire movie without having at least one device on your body beep... Continue reading ...
The authorities were leading a priest, a drunkard and an engineer to
the guillotine. They asked the priest if he wanted to face up or down
when he meets his fate.
The priest said that he would like to face up so that he will be
looking toward heaven when he dies. So, they raise the blade of the
guillotine, release it and it comes speeding down and suddenly stops
just inches from his neck.
The authorities take this as divine intervention and release the priest.
Next the drunkard comes to ... Continue reading ...
I had been doing Tech Support for Hewlett-Packard's DeskJet division
for about a month when I had a customer call with a problem I just
couldn't solve. She could not print yellow. All the other colors would
print fine, which truly baffled me because the only true colors are
cyan, magenta, and yellow.
For instance, green is a combination of cyan and yellow, but green
printed fine. Every color of the rainbow printed fine except for
yellow. I had the customer change ink cartridges. I had the cu... Continue reading ...

When asked to define "great" he said, "I want to write stuff that the
whole world will read, stuff that people will react to on a truly
emotional level, stuff that will make them scream, cry, howl in pain
and anger!"
He now writes error messages for Microsoft Corporation. Continue reading ...
A man entered a pet shop, wanting to buy a parrot. The shop owner
pointed out three identical parrots on a perch and said, "The parrot to
the left costs 500 dollars."
"Why does that parrot cost so much?" the man wondered.
The owner replied, "Well, it knows how to use a computer."
The man asked about the next parrot on the perch.
"That one costs 1,000 dollars because it can do everything the other
parrot can do, plus it knows how to use the UNIX operating system."
Naturally, the startled c... Continue reading ...
