The Friday Aggravate 06-01-2006
Not wanting his wife to know, he gave the nurse a sum of money and asked her to go to Italy
and have the baby there.
"But how will I let you know that the baby is born?" she asked.
"Just send me a postcard and write 'spaghetti' on the back, I'll take care of the expenses."
Six months later the doctor’s wife called him at the office and explained, "Dear, you
received a very strange postcard in the mail today from Europe, and I don't understand
what it means."
The doctor said, "Don't worry. I'll explain it when I get home."
Later that evening the doctor came home, read the postcard, and fell to the floor with a
heart attack. Paramedics rushed him to hospital. The lead medic stayed back to comfort the
wife. He asked what trauma had precipitated the cardiac arrest.
The wife picked up the postcard and read: “Spaghetti, Spaghetti, and Spaghetti. Two with
sausages and meatballs, one without."

Jeff walks into a bar and sees his friend Paul slumped over the bar. He
walks over and asks Paul what's wrong. "Well," replies Paul, "You know
that beautiful girl at work that I wanted to ask out, but I got an
erection every time I saw her?"
"Yes," replies Jeff with a laugh. "Well," says Paul, straightening up,
"I finally worked up the courage to ask her out, and she agreed."
"Sensible" says Jeff. "So I get to her door," says Paul, "and I rang
her doorbell. She answered it in the sheerest, sexiest, dress you ever saw."

She already heals herself when she is sick AND can work 18 hour days."
"She is soft," the Lord agreed, "but I have also made her tough.
You have no idea what she can endure or accomplish."
The angel then noticed something, and reaching out, touched the woman's cheek.
"Oops, it looks like you have a leak in this model. I told you that you were trying to put too
much into this one."
The Lord said, "The tear is her way of expressing her joy, her sorrow, her pain, her
disappointment, her love, her loneliness, her grief and her pride."
The angel was impressed.
"You are a genius, Lord. You thought of everything! Woman is truly amazing."
A number of grade 12 girls were beginning to use lipstick and would put it
on in the bathroom. That was fine, but after they put on their lipstick they
would press their lips to the mirror leaving dozens of little lip prints.

He called all the girls to the bathroom and met them there with the maintenance man. He
explained that all these lip prints were causing a major problem for the custodian who had to
clean the mirrors every night.

show the girls how much effort was required.

Four Catholic ladies are having coffee together, discussing how important their children are.
The first one tells her friends, "My son is a priest. When he walks into a room, everyone
calls him 'Father'."
The second Catholic woman chirps, "Well, my son is a bishop. Whenever he walks into a room,
people say, 'Your Grace'."
The third Catholic woman says smugly, "Well, not to put you down, but my son is a cardinal.
Whenever he walks into a room, people say 'Your Eminence'."
The fourth Catholic woman sips her coffee in silence. The first three women give her this
subtle "Well...?"
She replies, "My son is a gorgeous, 6' 2", hard bodied, well hung, male stripper. Whenever
he walks into a room, women say, "My God...."
Seeing as how we have all become a part of the Computer age, here is some reminders
about some of the questions frequently asked of Internet Service Provider’s Technicians.
All of us realise we are on a steep learning curve trying to come to terms with the
technology, and age doesn’t help one bit, or the fact that you just happen to be a blonde
gone a tad grey over the years.

Some of the glossary of terms represented an entirely different meaning thirty years ago,
now they can mean something else altogether.
Oh yes, the last comment still holds true today. If you haven’t got it, how could you
possibly flaunt it? But then there was also an old saying with an element of truth.
“Long and thin will get you in, but short and thick will still do the trick.”
What ever all that means is perhaps beyond me.
The next pages are the cartoons depicting the sort of problems they get, and their
reactions after ending the call to help line.

“Wonder if Bill Gates would make it more user friendly so us Orang’s
could make head nor tail of it.”

So OK now that these blokes have had their say, they have the know how, we don’t.
If you don’t ask, you’ll never find out!
General Motors Corporation’s reply to Microsoft’s Bill Gates.
For all of us who feel only the deepest love and affection for the way the computers have
enhanced our lives, read on. At a recent computer Expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly
compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated, “If GM had kept up with
technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25.00 cars that got
1,000 miles to the gallon.
In response to Bill Gates’ comments General Motors issued a press release stating: If GM
had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following
characteristics (and I just love this part):
1. For no reason what so ever, your car would crash twice a day.
2. Every time they repainted the lines on the road you would have to buy a new car.
3. Occasionally your car would die on the highway for no apparent reason. You would
have to pull to the side of the road, close all the windows, shut off the car, restart
it, and reopen the windows before you could continue. For some reason you would
simply accept this.
8
4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause your car to shut
down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.
5. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as
fast and twice as easy to drive – but would run on only five percent of the roads.
6. The oil, water temperature warning lights would all be replaced by a single “This car
has performed an illegal operation” warning light.
7. The airbag system would ask “Are you sure?” before deployment.
8. Occasionally, for no apparent reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and
refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key
and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.
9. Every time a new car was introduced car buyers would have to learn how to drive all
over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old
car.
10. You’d have to press the “Start” button to turn the engine off.
S dear friends pass this around your friends who for some good reason or another love –
but hate - their computer.
A cowboy by the name of “Texas George” rode into town and stopped at the saloon for a
drink. Unfortunately, the locals always had a habit of picking on newcomers. When he left
the bar some time later, he realised that his horse had been stolen.
“Texas George” rushed back into the bar, handily flipped his gun into the air, caught it
above his head without even looking, and then fired a shot into the ceiling. "Who stole my
horse!" he yelled with surprising forcefulness.
No one answered.
"I'm gonna have another beer and if my horse ain't back outside by the time I'm finished,
I'm gonna do what I did back in Texas. And let me tell you, I don't wanna have to do what I
did back in Texas!"
“Texas George” had another beer, and then walked outside to find his horse was back. So,
he saddled up and prepared to ride out of town.
The bartender wandered out of the bar and said, "Say partner, what happened in Texas
anyway?"

CIGARETTES and TAMPONS who needs ‘em.
A man walks into a pharmacy and wanders up and down the aisles. The sales girl notices him
and asks him if she can help him. He answers that he is looking for a box of tampons for his
wife. She directs him down the correct aisle. A few minutes later, he deposits a huge bag of
cotton balls and a ball of string on the counter.
"Sir, I thought you were looking for some tampons for your wife?"
He answers, " You see, it's like this... yesterday, I sent my wife to the store to get me a
carton of cigarettes, and she came back with a tin of tobacco and some rolling papers;
because it's soooooooo much cheaper. So, I figure if I have to roll my own... so does she."
Every day, a male co-worker walks up very close to a lady. Standing at the coffee
machine, inhales a big breath of air and tells her "Your hair smells nice." After a week
of this, she can't stand it anymore, takes her complaint to a supervisor in the
personnel department and states that she wants to write a sexual harassment
grievance against him. The Human Resources supervisor is puzzled by this decision and
asks, "What's sexually threatening about a co-worker telling you your hair smells
nice?" The woman replies, "It's Keith, the dwarf."
