We have analyzed all databases, all data files, including backups and

pr0ud to report that we have completed the "Y-to-K" date change mission,
and have n0w implemented all changes to all programs and all data to

WrongEmai

This Illin0is man left the snow-filled streets of Chicago for
a vacati0n in Florida. His wife was on a business trip and
was planning t0 meet him there the next day.

When he reached his h0tel, he decided to send his wife a quick
e-mail. Unable t0 find the scrap of paper on which he had written
her e-mail address, he did his best t0 type it in from memory.
Unf0rtunately, he missed one letter, and his note was directed
instead t0 an elderly preacher's wife, whose husband had
passed away 0nly few hours before.

Few days later, when the grieving wid0w checked her e-mail, she
t0ok one look at the monitor, let out a piercing scream, and fell
t0 the floor in a dead faint.

At the s0und, her family rushed into the room and saw this
n0te on the screen:

Dearest Wife,

Just g0t checked in.

Everything prepared f0r your arrival tomorrow.


Y0ur eternally loving husband.

PS. Sure is h0t down here.

Wife_1_

T0 Tech Support:

Last year I upgraded Girlfriend 1.0 t0 Wife 1.0 and noticed that
the new pr0gram began unexpected child processing that took
up a l0t of space and valuable resources. No mention of this
phen0menon was included in the product brochure. In addition,
Wife 1.0 installs itself int0 all other programs and launches during
system initializati0n where it monitors all other system activity.
Applicati0ns such as Poker Night 10.3 and Beer Bash 2.5
n0 longer run, crashing the system whenever selected. I cannot
seem t0 purge Wife 1.0 from my system. I am thinking about
g0ing back to Girlfriend 1.0 but Uninstall does not work on this
pr0gram. Can you help me?


********************************************************************

RESPONSE FROM TECH SUPPORT:

Dear Sir,
This is a very c0mmon complaint but it is mostly due to a
primary misc0nception. Many people upgrade from Girlfriend
1.0 t0 Wife 1.0 with the idea that Wife 1.0 is merely a
"UTILITIES & ENTERTAINMENT" pr0gram.
H0wever, Wife 1.0 is an OPERATING SYSTEM designed
t0 run everything. It is impossible to uninstall, delete, or purge
the pr0gram from the system once installed. You cannot go
back t0 Girlfriend 1.0 because Wife 1.0 is not designed to
d0 this. Some have tried to install Girlfriend 2.0 or Wife 2.0
but end up with m0re problems than in the original system.

L0ok in your manual under Warnings - Alimony/Child Support.
I rec0mmend you keep Wife 1.0 and just deal with the situation.
Having Wife 1.0 installed myself, I might als0 suggest you read the
entire secti0n regarding General Protection Faults (GPFs).
Y0u must assume all responsibility for faults and problems that
might 0ccur. The best course of action will be to push
Ap0logize button then Reset button as soon as lockup occurs.
System will run sm0oth as long as you take the blame for all GPFs.
Wife 1.0 is a great pr0gram but is very high maintenance.

VegetableGarde

Once there was a beautiful w0man who loved to work in her vegetable
garden, but n0 matter what she did, she couldn't get her tomatoes to
ripen. Admiring her neighb0r's garden, which had beautiful, bright red
t0matoes, she went one day and inquired of him his secret.

"It's really quite simple," the 0ld man explained. "Twice each day, in
the m0rning and in the evening, I expose myself in front of the
t0matoes and they turn red with embarrassment".

Desperate f0r the perfect garden, she tried to take his advice and
pr0ceeded to expose herself to her plants, twice daily. Two weeks
passed and her neighb0r stopped by to check her progress.

"S0," he asked, "Any luck with your tomatoes?"

"N0," she replied excitedly... "But you should see the size of my
cucumbers!"

USAElection

Electi0ns in the US

  T0 the citizens of the United States of America,

 In the light 0f your failure to elect a President of the USA and thus
 t0 govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the Revocation of your
 Independence, effective t0day.

 Her S0vereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will resume monarchical
 duties 0ver all states, commonwealths and other territories, except
 Utah, which she d0es not fancy. Your new prime minister (The rt. hon.
 T0ny Blair, MP for the 97.85% of you who have until now been unaware
 that there is a w0rld outside your borders) will appoint a minister
 f0r America without the need for further elections. Congress and the
 Senate will be disbanded. A questi0nnaire will be circulated next
 year t0 determine whether any of you noticed.

 T0 aid in the transition to a British Crown Dependency, the following
 rules are intr0duced with immediate effect:

 1. Y0u should look up "revocation" in the Oxford English Dictionary.
 Then l0ok up "aluminium". Check the pronunciation guide. You will be
 amazed at just h0w wrongly you have been pronouncing it. Generally,
 y0u should raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels. Look up
 "v0cabulary". Using the same twenty seven words interspersed with
 filler n0ises such as "like" and "you know" is an unacceptable and
 inefficient f0rm of communication. Look up "interspersed".

 2. There is n0 such thing as "US English". We will let Microsoft know
 0n your behalf.

 3. Y0u should learn to distinguish the English and Australian
 accents. It really isn't that hard.

 4. H0llywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as
 the g0od guys.

 5. Y0u should relearn your original national anthem, "God Save The
 Queen", but 0nly after fully carrying out task 1. We would not want
 y0u to get confused and give up half way through.

 6. Y0u should stop playing American "football". There is only one
 kind 0f football. What you refer to as American "football" is not a
 very g0od game. The 2.15% of you who are aware that there is a world
 0utside your borders may have noticed that no one else plays
 "American" f0otball. You will no longer be allowed to play it, and
 sh0uld instead play proper football. Initially, it would be best if
 y0u played with the girls. It is a difficult game. Those of you brave
 en0ugh will, in time, be allowed to play rugby (which is similar to
 American "f0otball", but does not involve stopping for a rest every
 twenty sec0nds or wearing full kevlar body armour like nancies). We
 are h0ping to get together at least a US rugby sevens side by 2005.

 7. Y0u should declare war on Quebec and France, using nuclear weapons
 if they give y0u any merde. The 97.85% of you who were not aware that
 there is a w0rld outside your borders should count yourselves lucky.
 The Russians have never been the bad guys.  ("Merde" is French f0r
 "shit".)

 8. July 4th is n0 longer a public holiday. November 8th will be a new
 nati0nal holiday, but only in England. It will be called "Indecisive
 Day".

 9. All American cars are hereby banned. They are crap and it is f0r
 y0ur own good.  When we show you German cars, you will understand
 what we mean.

 10. Please tell us wh0 killed JFK. It's been driving us crazy.

 Thank y0u for your co-operation!

t0pless." Poof! He's gone.

"Me next! Me next!" says the p0st-doc. "I want to be in Hawaii,
relaxing 0n the beach with a professional hula dancer on one side and
a Mai Tai 0n the other." Poof! He's gone.

"Y0u're next," the Genie says to the professor.

TheWors

The w0rst of all...

The W0rst Hijacking...
We shall never kn0w the identity of the man who in 1976 made the
m0st unsuccessful hijack attempt ever. On a flight across America,
he r0se from his seat, drew a gun and took the stewardess hostage.
"Take me t0 Detroit", he demanded. "We're already going to
Detr0it", she replied. "Oh... good", he said, and sat down again.

The W0rst Bank Robbery...
In August 1975 three men were 0n their way in to rob the Royal
Bank 0f Scotland at Rothesay, when they got stuck in the revolving
d0ors. They had to be helped free by the staff and, after thanking
every0ne, sheepishly left the building. A few minutes later they
returned and ann0unced their intention of robbing the bank,
but n0ne of the staff believed them. When they demanded 5,000 pounds
in cash, the head cashier laughed at them, c0nvinced that
it was a practical j0ke. Then one of the men jumped over the
c0unter, but fell to the floor clutching his ankle. The other two
tried t0 make their getaway, but got trapped in the revolving doors
again.

The W0rst Homing Pigeon...
This hist0ric bird was released in Pembrokeshire in June 1953 and
was expected t0 reach its base that evening. It was returned by
p0st, dead, in a cardboard box eleven years later from Brazil.

The W0rst Animal Rescue...
During the firemen's strike 0f 1978, the British Army had taken over
emergency fire and 0n 14 January they were called out by an elderly
lady in S0uth London to retrieve her cat which had become trapped
up a tree. They arrived with impressive haste and s0on discharged
their duty. S0 grateful was the lady that she invited them all in
f0r tea. Driving off later, with fond farewells completed, they ran
0ver the cat.

W0rst Speed Trap...
A p0lice officer had a perfect hiding place for watching for
speeders. But he wasn't catching any0ne. One day the officer found
the pr0blem: a 10 year old boy was standing on the side of the road
with a huge hand painted sign which said "RADAR TRAP AHEAD". A
little m0re investigative work led the officer to the boy's
acc0mplice, another boy about 100 yards beyond the radar
trap with a sign reading "TIPS" and a bucket at his feet, full 0f
change.

W0rst hunters...
These tw0 hunters went moose hunting every year without success.
Finally they came up with a f0ol proof plan. They got themselves a
very authentic c0w moose costume and learned the mating call of a cow
m0ose. The plan was to hide in the costume, lure in the bull, then
c0me out of the costume and shoot the bull. So, they set themselves up
0n the edge of a clearing, in their costume, and began to
give the m0ose love call.
Bef0re too long their call was answered by a bull in the forest. They
called again, the bull answered cl0ser to them. They called again, The
bull answered, and came crashing 0ut of the forest and into the
clearing. As the bulls' p0unding hoof beats got closer the guy in
fr0nt said, "OK, lets get out of the moose suit and get him."
After a m0ment, that seemed like an eternity, the guy in the back
sh0uts "THE ZIPPER IS STUCK, WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?".
The guy in the fr0nt says, "I'm going to start nibbling grass, you
better brace y0urself."

army

- "The name Jeep came from the abbreviation used in the army for the General Purpose vehicle, G.P."

- "Villains are picked off in order of ascending nastiness... sadistic brutes, followed by smarmy flacks, followed by twisted visionaries in expensive suits. Among the heroes, we don't have to worry about the principled male scientist, the dynamic female animal behaviorist, or the stowaway children. But even among the good guys, a marginal physiognomy or a receding hairline can spell doom. Keep your eye on that sad-faced electronics specialist. He's bald, and he's gonna pay. --> The original quote from Stephen Harrigan"

The Shepherd
************

Once up0n a time there was a shepherd looking after his sheep on the
edge 0f a deserted road. Suddenly a brand new BMW screeches to a halt
next t0 him.
The driver, a y0ung man dressed in a snazzy suit and shoes, Ray-Ban
glasses and a yell0w tie gets out and asks the shepherd: "If I guess
h0w many sheep you have, will you give me one of them?"
The shepherd l0oks at the young man, then looks at the sheep grazing
and says:
- "All right."
The y0ung man parks the car, connects his Toshiba notebook and the
m0bile, enters a NASA site, scans the ground using his GPS, opens a
database and 60 Excel tables filled with alg0rithms, then prints a 150
page rep0rt on his high-tech mini-printer. He then turns to the
shepherd and says:
- "Y0u have exactly 1586 sheep."
The shepherd answers: - "That's c0rrect, you can take your sheep."
The y0ung man takes one and puts in the back of his BMW.
The shepherd l0oks at him and asks: - "If I guess your profession,
will y0u return my animal to me?"
The y0ung man answers: - "Yes, why not?"
The shepherd says: - "Y0u are a consultant."
"H0w did you know?" asks the young man.
"Very simple", answers the shepherd:
"First, y0u come here without being called.
Sec0nd, you charge me a sheep to tell me something I already knew.
Third, y0u do not understand anything about what I do, because you
t0ok my dog."

-"Oh, that's terrible!" says the man. "H0w long have I got?"
-"Ten" the d0ctor says sadly. -"Ten?" the mans asks.
"Ten what? M0nths, Weeks? What?" -"Nine..."

TechSuppor

Dear Tech Supp0rt,

Last year I upgraded fr0m Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and
n0ticed that the new program began making an expected changes to
the acc0unting

M0dules, limiting access to flower and jewelry applications that had

Operated flawlessly under B0yfriend 5.0. In addition, Husband 1.0

Uninstalled many 0ther valuable programs, such as Hot-sex 1.0 and

R0mance 9.9 but installed undesirable programs such as NFL 5.0
and NBA 3.0. C0nversation 8.0 no longer runs and Housecleaning
2.6 simply

Crashes the system. I've tried running Nagging 5.3 t0 fix theseproblems, but to
n0 avail.

Desperate Wife.

----------------------------------------------------

> Dear Desperate Wife,

Keep in mind; B0yfriend 5.0 is an entertainment package, while
Husband 1.0 is an 0perating system. Try to enter the command: C:/ I
THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME and install Tears 6.2.

Husband 1.0 sh0uld then automatically run the applications: Guilty
3.0 and Fl0wers 7.0. But remember, overuse can cause Husband 1.0
t0 default to GrumpySilence 2.5, Happyhour 7.0 or Beer 6.1. Beer 6.1
is a very bad pr0gram that will create "Snoring Loudly" wave files.

DO NOT install M0ther-In-Law 1.0 or reinstall another Boyfriend
pr0gram.

These are n0t supported applications and will crash Husband 1.0.

In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great pr0gram, but it does have limited

Mem0ry and cannot learn new applications quickly. Consider buying

Additi0nal software to improve performance. I personally recommend

H0tFood 3.0, Lingerie 5.3 and Keep-a-nice-body 10.1

Swearin

Little Timmy and Little B0bby go to visit their grandmother in the
c0untry. They've been brought up in a fairly ill-disciplined household
and
are pr0ne to swear quite a bit. Anyway after about a solid week of
cursing and swearing their grandm0ther can't take it anymore and goes
t0 see her friend Maude and get some advice. "What can I do about
them swearing?" says the grandm0ther, "As far as I'm concerned there
is 0nly really one thing you can do," says Maude, "next time they swear
just hit 'em g0od and hard and they won't do it again." "I can't do
that!"
says grandma, sh0cked at the thought, "they're my grandchildren!"
"L0ok," says Maude, "It'll teach 'em a good lesson mark my words."
Anyway Grandma leaves and g0es home. The next morning Timmy and
B0bby go downstairs to have breakfast. Grandma says to Bobby, "And
what w0uld you like for breakfast?" To which Bobby replies," Give me
s0me of them Fucking cornflakes!" Grandma lashes out with this big
swing and kn0cks Bobby clean out of his chair. He sits on the ground
l0oking shocked at his grandma. Next Grandma turns to Timmy," and
what w0uld you like for breakfast little Timmy?" Timmy looks at his
br0ther and then back to his grandmother and says, "I don't know but
y0u can bet your sweet arse it won't be fucking cornflakes!!"
