True story from a Novell
NetWire SysOp:
Caller: "Hello, is
this Tech Support?"
Tech: "Yes, it is.
How may I help you?"
Caller: "The cup holder
on my PC is broken and I am within my warranty
period. How do I go
about getting that fixed?"
Tech: "I'm sorry, bt
did you say a cup holder?"
Caller: "Yes, it's
attached to the front of my computer."
Tech: "Please excuse
me if I seem a bit stumped. It's because I am. Did you
receive this
as part of a promotional, at a trade show? How did you get this
cup holder? Does it
have any trademark on it?"
Caller: "It came with
my computer, I don't know anything about a
promotional. It just
has '4X' on it."
At this point the Tech
Rep had to mute the caller, because he couldn't stand
it. The caller had
been using the load drawer of the CD-ROM drive as a cup
holder, and snapped
it off the drive!

Element: MAN
Symbol: XY
Atomic Weight: 180+/-100

Solid at room temperature but gets bent out of shape.
Fairly dense and sometimes
flaky. Difficult to find a pure sample. Due to rust,
aging samples are unable
to conduct electricity as easily as young fresh
samples.
Chemical Properties:
Attempts to bond with Wo any chance it can get. Also,
tends to form strong
bonds with itself. Becomes explosive when mixed with
Kd (element Kid) for
prolonged period of time. Pretty basic. Neutralize by
saturating with alcohol.

except carrying shopping bags.
Caution: In the absence
of Wo, this element rapidly decomposes and begins
to smell.
A nun gets into a cab
in New York. She demurely says in a small, high voice,
"Could you please take
me to Times Square?"
In a thick Brooklyn
accent the cabbie initiates conversation, "He sista, that's
kinda a long drive?
You mind if we, like, chat?"
"Why no, my son, whatever
is on your mind?"
"About this celibacy
thing. Are you telling me you never think about doin'it?"
"Why certainly, my
son, the thought has crossed my mind a time or two. I am
of weak human flesh,
you understand!"
"Well would ya ever
consider, you know doin'it?"
The nun thinks a while
"Well, I suppose under
certain conditions, in a very unique circumstance, I
might consider it."
"Well, what would dose
conditions happen to be?"
"He'd have to be Catholic,
unmarried and, well certainly he could have no
children."
"Sista, today is your
lucky day. I'm all three. Why do youse come on up
here... I won't even
make you really break your vows. All you gotta do is go
down on me."
The nun looks around...
They are awfully far away from where anyone would
recognize her...at
the next light she gets into the front with the driver. By the
next light, the nun
is getting back into the rear of the cab, and the cabbie is
smiling form ear to
ear. As she settles in, the nun hears the cabbie begin to
laugh. She inquires,
"Why, my son, what
is so humerous?"
The cabbie sneers,
"Sista, I got ya. I'm
Protestand, I'm married, and I got four kids."
And from the back of
the cab comes the nun's low voiced response, "Yeah,
well, my name's Dave
and I'm on my way to a costume party."
