YUP..............

"Twice as many rides -- all 40% slower!!"

The neighboring "Microsoft Theme Park"
keeps trying to connect up its carriages to your cash register.

The really good rides you keep hearing about aren't accessible at all.

Your ticket is good for "500 free hours!" but the fine print reminds you
that all free hours must be used today.

The sign outside the bigtop tent reads, "We're sorry, all circuits
are busy right now.  Please come back later."

Ride attendants keep insisting they're busty young vixens
despite the fact that they're all over 40, dirty, and male.

None of the rides work, but big color pictures
make it easy to find your way around.

A spiffy new look to the roller coaster
since last time you visited, but it's still just as rusty,
squeaky and dangerous.

Even though you've paid your monthly entrance fee,
you can't get into the park any time except between
midnight and six a.m.

Ten million visitors a day, and all they want to do
is ride the merry-go-round.

The entire park is run by monkeys chained to typewriters.

You're visitor number 1,267,866 in a park that only has room for 2350.

"We're sorry, but the 'Mr. Case's Obscenely Long Ride Line'
ride is unavailable.  Please try again soon."

IT'S AN ALL-CAPS WORLD AFTER ALL!

            Where Do Deleted Characters Go?

QUESTION: Where do the characters go when I use my backspace or delete
them on my computer?

ANSWER: The characters go to different places, depending on whom you ask:

The Catholic Church's approach to characters: The nice characters go to
Heaven, where they are bathed in the light of happiness. The naughty
characters are punished for their sins. Naughty characters are those
involved in the creation of naughty words, such as "breast," "sex" and
"contraception."

The Buddhist explanation: If a character has lived rightly, and its
karma is good, then after it has been deleted it will be reincarnated as
a different, higher character. Those funny characters above the numbers
on your keyboard will become numbers, numbers will become letters, and
lower-case letters will become upper-case.

The 20th-century bitter cynical nihilist explanation: Who cares? It
doesn't really matter if they're on the page, deleted, undeleted,
underlined, etc. It's all the same.

The Mac user's explanation: All the characters written on a PC and then
deleted go to straight to PC hell. If you're using a PC, you can
probably see the deleted characters, because you're in PC hell also.

Stephen King's explanation: Every time you hit the (Del) key you unleash
a tiny monster inside the cursor, who tears the poor unsuspecting
characters to shreds, drinks their blood, then eats them, bones and all.
Hah, hah, hah!

Dave Barry's explanation: The deleted characters are shipped to Battle
Creek, Michigan, where they're made into Pop-Tart filling; this explains
why Pop-Tarts are so flammable, while cheap imitations are not
flammable. I'm not making this up.

IBM's explanation: The characters are not real. They exist only on the
screen when they are needed, as concepts, so to delete them is merely to
de-conceptualize them. Get a life.

PETA's (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) explanation: You've
been DELETING them??? Can't you hear them SCREAMING??? Why don't you go
CLUB some BABY SEALS while wearing a MINK, you pig!!!!

          Peace in the World 

 

"If there is light in the soul,

There can be beauty in the person.

If there is beauty in the person,

There can be harmony in the house.

If there is harmony in the
 house,

There can  be order in the nation.

If there is order in the nation,

There can be peace in the world."
