Well, Cath might have cheated to pass the test; she used 'flash cards'.

Mouse balls


I don't know about the rest of you, but as my computer's mouse ages, it gets to be erratic in how well it will select data or highight info or "click" on an item on the screen. Just in case this problem comes up you'll know how to fix it...

I don't know how they wrote this with a straight face. This was alegedly a real memo sent out by IBM to its employees in all seriousness. It went to all field engineers about a computer peripheral problem. The author of this memo was quite genuine.




Mouse Balls and Mouse Ball Inspectors:

'If a mouse fails to operate or should it perform erratically, it may need a ball replacement. Mouse balls are now available as FRU (Field Replacement Units). Because of the delicate nature of this procedure, a replacement of mouse balls should only be attempted by properly trained personnel.

Before proceeding, determine the type of mouse balls by examining the underside of the mouse. Domestic balls will be larger and harder than foreign balls. Ball removal procedures differ depending upon the manufacturer of the mouse. Foreign balls can be replaced using the pop off method. Domestic balls are replaced by using the twist off method. Mouse balls are not usually static sensitive. However, excessive handling can result in sudden discharge.

Upon completion of ball replacement, the mouse may be used immediately. It is recommended that each person have a pair of spare balls for maintaining optimum customer satisfaction. Any customer missing his balls should contact the local personnel in charge of removing and replacing these necessary items. Please keep in mind that a customer without properly working balls is an unhappy customer.'

Did I ever tell you about the time Brasky went hunting? Well anyway, Brasky decides he's gonna hunt down all four members of the Banana Splits. He stalks and kills every one of them with a machete. They all beg for their lives, except Fleagul.

The owner of a local fish store, after a long day of unpacking an acclimitizing an large order, was confused about how much he was actually paying on an invoice for some stony corals, so he decided to ask his store manager, an attractive red-headed woman, for some mathematical help. He called her into his office and said, "You graduated from Clemson, I believe, and I need some help here. If I were to give you $20,000 minus 14%, how much would you take off?"

The manger thought a moment, then put her hands on her hips and replied, "Everything but my earrings..."






I'm here 'till Saturday, folks!

This one is for our resident judge, Dick...

A Georgia State Trooper pulled over a speeding pickup on I-85 in the no-man’s land between Greenville and Atlanta. The trooper stepped up to the stopped truck and asked the driver, “you Got any I.D.?”, to which the driver replied, “ ‘Bout whut?”
