thank you for calling technical support. may i help you?

mujibar was trying to get a job in india .

the personnel manager said, "mujibar, you have passed all the tests, except one. unless you pass it, you cannot qualify for this job."

mujibar said, "i am ready."

the manager said, "make a sentence using the words yellow, pink and

green."

mujibar thought for a few minutes and said, "mister manager, i am ready"

the manager said, "go ahead."

mujibar said, "the telephone goes green, green, and i pink it up, and say, 'yellow', this is mujibar."
mujibar now works at a call center.

no doubt you have spoken to him. i know i have.

get surreal

how surreal it was to come home from work to find this in my front yard.
i mean, i knew it was coming, but this makes it so. . .

. . .real, you know?

it's my first house, for crying out loud, and it's for sale. now our lives are topsy-turvy--we have to be ready to leave on 15-minutes' notice so the house can be shown, which means the house has to be damn spotless all the time!

yikes.

kinda hits you where you live. bad pun, i know, but it works.

wish us happy bidding wars and offers over market value, willya?

investment tips for the average bud

retirement planning for 2008

if you had purchased $1,000.00 of nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00.

with enron, you would have had $16.50 left of the original $1,000.00.

with worldcom, you would have had less than $5.00 left.

if you had purchased $1,000 of delta airlines stock you would have $49.00 left.

but, if you purchased $1,000.00 worth of beer one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling refund, you would have $214.00.

based on the above, the best current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.

it's called the 401-keg plan.

thanks to sbates for sharing
his advice on drinking for profit.
this plan is not recommended
for women who are pregnant
or for persons who have a
family history of alcolohism
or a tendency to become alcoholic.
seek the advice of a professional
investment counselor
or a physician
to learn whether the 401-keg plan
is right for you.
