There is no reason for any individual to have a computer in his home.
Ken Olsen (1926 - ), President, Digital Equipment, 1977
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On reaching his plane seat a man is surprised to see a parrot strapped in next to him. He asks the stewardess for a coffee where upon the parrot squawks "And get me a whisky you cow!" The stewardess, flustered, brings back a whisky for the parrot and forgets the coffee.

When this omission is pointed out to her the parrot drains its glass and bawls "And get me another whisky you idiot". Quite upset, the girl comes back shaking with another whisky but still no coffee.

Unaccustomed to such slackness the man tries the parrot's approach "I've asked you twice for a coffee, go and get it now or I'll kick you".

The next moment, both he and the parrot have been wrenched up and thrown out of the emergency exit by two burly stewards. Plunging downwards the parrot turns to him and says "For someone who can't fly, you complain too much!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~

At the airport for a business trip, I settled down to wait for the boarding announcement at Gate 35. Then I heard the voice on the public address system saying, "We apologize for the inconvenience, but Delta Flight 570 will board from Gate 41."

So my family picked up our luggage and carried it over to Gate 41. Not ten minutes later the public address voice told us that Flight 570 would in fact be boarding from Gate 35.

So, again, we gathered our carry-on luggage and returned to the original gate. Just as we were settling down, the public address voice spoke again: "Thank you for participating in Delta's physical fitness program.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

RULES OF THE AIRWAYS

Takeoff's are optional. Landings are mandatory.

Flying is not dangerous; crashing is dangerous.

Speed is life, altitude is life insurance. No one has ever collided with the sky.

The only time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire.

Flying is the second greatest thrill known to man. Landing is the first!

Everyone knows a 'good' landing is one from which you can walk away. But a 'great landing is one after which you can use the airplane again.

The probability of survival is equal to the angle of arrival.

Was that a landing or were we shot down?

Learn from the mistakes of others. You won't live long enough to make all of them yourself.

Trust your captain.... but keep your seat belt securely fastened.

Be nice to your first officer, he may be your captain at your next airline.

Any attempt to stretch fuel is guaranteed to increase headwind.

A pilot is a confused soul who talks about women when he's flying, and about flying when he's with a woman.

Try to keep the number of your landings equal to the number of your takeoffs.

There are old pilots, and there are bold pilots, but there are no old, bold, pilots!

Gravity never loses! The best you can hope for is a draw!

Gravity SUCKS!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At a recent software engineering management course in the US, the participants were given an awkward question to answer. "If you had just boarded an airliner and discovered that your team of programmers had been responsible for the flight control software how many of you would disembark immediately?"

Among the ensuing forest of raised hands, only one man sat motionless. When asked what he would do, he replied that he would be quite content to stay onboard.

With his team's software, he said, the plane was unlikely to even taxi as far as the runway, let alone take off.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Goooood morning BOOMERLAND!!! wave

Now that you're all awake, feel free to talk amongst yourselves.

If you have an awesome day of gaming planned, I'm sure everyone would like to hear about it.

I'm only kidding. snicker

No one wants to hear about it.

Did I say that outloud? oops

Hey it's my last day off…………………for three days.

At least I'm off again this weekend. Cool! penguin

I need to take advantage of my last day off by doing absolutely nothing.

Kind of like yesterday. razz

Why didn't I think of that before?

Being totally at leisure for two whole dog gone days. cool

Being an absolute couch potato for my last two days.

I think I could really get into this laziness thing.

I may not even brush my teeth all day long. grin

I may be so lazy I'll have someone else chew my food for me. (not likely unless my neighbor volunteers)

I might keep my eyes closed all day, and have someone else describe what I'm looking at.

Hmmmmm...

Naa! It's a dumb idea.

It didn't work when I tried it before.

My boss got upset with me. lol

Have a fairly happy day everyone.

I mean a very happy day.

Joe, I think you should sleep in and then spend the day doing whatever makes you happy. yes

I on the other hand will be in the corner working diligently. It is supposed to be a rainy day, so it will be easier to stay there. lol

Have a happy day everyone!

Off for an earlier work whoosh than usual. wave It may be this way until the overnights are complete, since I just found out we can show up an hour earlier at this time if we want to. thumbsup

Okay, have to run. Have a great Tuesday, everyone. cat

Good morning to all who are here and all who come in later.

I was going to Wally World but it is gloomy and drippy so just think I will stay home and goof off. Nothing much new around here or very exciting either. So, on that note, I am going to goof off.

Terrific Tuesday ya'll puppy

Keoki has a routine vet appointment this morning. I set my alarm last night for 8 so I'd have lots of coffee time before I left. But I so didn't hear it. Thankfully one of the dogs got tired of hearing it and woofed, which did wake me up. So now instead of speed dating I'm speed coffeeing.

Joe, have a wonderful day off. Give Baby a treat from me.

Ana, hope the corner is fun.

Cailyn, I hope your post time is when you went to bed. And yes please to the coffee.

Haroula, are all well now?

Gerry, a stress free day sounds perfect!

Venus, extra hours are great...bonus money puppy

Bet, happy goofing!

Darlene, happy skooshing!

Good morning boomies! We had such a stormy night last night, Merlin slept between hubby and I. I haven't heard such earth shaking thunder in many years. It really felt like the house was going to shake off it's foundation.

SpaceQ, you are in my thoughts. hearts

I have to do a quick store run and then bury myself in the corner.
Have a happy day!

Evelyne says hi from Italy! She briefly had her internet service restored this morning and when she tried to come and post it disappeared again.
In a week she will be back in Switzerland so she will be back for sure then. hearts

The dogs and I did ours. It’s a beautiful day but there is a new pit bull on our route who is on a tie out chain. He didn’t like us walking on the other side of the street and was quite clearly expressing his opinion...repeatedly lunging at us. I brought my guys home and went up to let the lady know, suggesting that a tie out chain is not safe as the rottie next door has broken several. She was totally unconcerned and told me the dog was protecting its property. I didn't know her property included the curb across the street. Idiot!

Anyway, home now.

Space, hugs to you!

Time for lunch. puppy

Chaining is not only unsafe but leads to aggression in dogs. The poor thing. sad Too bad there is no law against that in your area. I hope you can find a safe route to walk your dogs.

I agree Ana, but this woman was clearly not interested in solving the problem. So sad! I will walk around there and get the addy and call the police to report a problem but they will not do anything. The laws here are a joke.

Night Haroula, sleep well sleep

I know Space, I completely understand. My Merlin is 10 and I can see things different all the time with him. I cry just thinking about my life without him. They become a part of us that is hard to separate from. I hope the pain eases for you. hearts
