Many years ago I chased a woman for almost two years, only to discover that her tastes were exactly like mine: we both were crazy about girls.

THERE WAS LIFE BEFORE THE COMPUTERAn application was for employment
A program was a TV show
A cursor used profanity
A keyboard was a piano!
Memory was something that you lost with age
A CD was a bank account!
And if you had a broken disk,
It would hurt when you found out!
Compress was something you did to garbage
Not something you did to a file
And if you unzipped anything in public
You'd be in jail for awhile!
Log on was adding wood to a fire
Hard drive was a long trip on the road
A mouse pad was where a mouse lived
And a backup happened to your commode!
Cut--you did with a pocket knife
Paste you did with glue
A web was a spider's home
And a virus was the flu!
I guess I'll stick to my pad and paper
And the memory in my head
I hear nobody's been killed in a computer crash
But when it happens they wish they were dead!

Good morning everyboomie.
Well now I know why my sister was always insulted when I called her a twit.
She is NOT a pregnant goldfish.
I'll have to apologize to her the next time I see her....eating ice cream and pickles.
So today I report back to work, and not a day too soon.
No, it's a month too soon, at least.
I think I'll call in sick today.
I'm sick that I didn't find any points yesterday.
Probably won't find any today either.
Have a happy day everyone.
