A: Well sir, as you know, I have been an employee of this prestigious

B: Yes.

A: I won't beat around the bush.   Sir, I would like a raise. I

2010-02-26 Thread Pruitt, Christopher (Bank of America Account)
Subject: FW: The Future for Laid off Employees

After a company gets rid of all its bloated staff, this is what they will have 
to choose from at their new Wal-Mart pay scales.

ONE
Recently, when I went to McDonald's I saw on the menu that you could have an 
order of 6, 9 or 12 Chicken McNuggets.
I asked for a half dozen nuggets.
'We don't have half dozen nuggets,' said the teenager at the counter.
'You don't?' I replied.
'We only have six, nine, or twelve,' was the reply.
'So I can't order a half dozen nuggets, but I can order six?'
'That's right.'
So I shook my head and ordered six McNuggets (Unbelievable but sadly true...)

TWO
I was checking out at the local Wal-Mart with just a few items and the lady 
behind me put her things on the belt close to mine.. I picked up one of those 
'dividers' that they keep by the cash register and placed it between our things 
so they wouldn't get mixed.
After the girl had scanned all of my items, she picked up the 'divider', 
looking it all over for the bar code so she could scan it.
Not finding the bar code, she said to me, 'Do you know how much this is?'
I said to her 'I've changed my mind; I don't think I'll buy that today.'
She said 'OK,' and I paid her for the things and left.
She had no clue to what had just happened.

THREE
A woman at work was seen putting a credit card into her floppy drive and 
pulling it out very quickly.
When I inquired as to what she was doing, she said she was shopping on the 
Internet and they kept asking for a credit card number, so she was using the 
ATM 'thingy.'
(keep shuddering!!)

FOUR
I recently saw a distraught young lady weeping beside her car. 'Do you need 
some help?' I asked.
She replied, 'I knew I should have replaced the battery to this remote door 
unlocker. Now I can't get into my car. Do you think they (pointing to a distant 
convenience store) would have a battery to fit this?'
'Hmmm, I don't know. Do you have an alarm, too?' I asked.
'No, just this remote thingy,' she answered, handing it and the car keys to me. 
As I took the key and manually unlocked the door, I replied, 'Why don't you 
drive over there and check about the batteries. It's a long walk'
PLEASE just lay down before you hurt yourself !!!

FIVE
Several years ago, we had an Intern who was none too swift. One day she was 
typing and turned to a secretary and said, 'I'm almost out of typing paper. 
What do I do?' 'Just use paper from the photocopier', the secretary told her. 
With that, the intern took her last remaining blank piece of paper, put it on 
the photocopier and proceeded to make five 'blank' copies.
Brunette, by the way!!

SIX
A mother calls 911 very worried asking the dispatcher if she needs to take her 
kid to the emergency room, the kid had eaten ants. The dispatcher tells her to 
give the kid some Benadryl and he should be fine, the mother says, 'I just gave 
him some ant killer..'
Dispatcher: 'Rush him in to emergency!'

OT:Friday Humor

2009-07-24 Thread Subash Biswas
Three guys die and go to heaven. St. Peter says "Listen - we're having
a really busy century, so we need to manage admissions tightly. Right
now we can only admit people who have died in horrible fashions, and
those who have died in a more mundane way will have to wait in limbo,
and it could take a decade or two to work you in."

So St. Peter takes aside the first man, and asks him how he died.
"Well, I'd been suspicious of my wife having an affair for some time
now, so today I came home from work early. I just knew the guy was in
my apartment, but I couldn't find him. I looked everywhere and was
just about to give up, when I went out on the balcony of my 23rd story
apartment and there he was hanging over the edge! He was just barely
hanging on, there was no way he could climb back onto the balcony. It
was a really stupid place to try to hide. I was livid, so I started
punching him and clawing at his fingers, but he held on. Finally I
went to get a hammer and started pounding on his fingers, and he fell
down. But what really angered me was that he landed in some bushes and
fell to the ground dazed, but basically OK! I was so mad I grabbed the
refrigerator, threw it off the balcony and it landed on him.
Unfortunately I was so riled up by the incident I had a heart attack
and died."

St. Peter was taken aback, and said "While you did die in a dramatic
fashion, I think we need to look at that whole second degree murder
before we let you in - off to limbo with you." He then approached the
second man and asked him how he had died.

"I was riding my exercise bike on the balcony of my 24th story
apartment, when the thing broke and threw me over the railing! I
grabbed furiously at the railing and slipped, but managed to catch on
the balcony below mine. I tried to climb up but it just wasn't
possible. I thought I was going to fall but then someone came out on
the balcony. I thought he would help me, until he started hitting me!
I held on as best I could, but when he got a hammer and started
hitting me I finally couldn't hold on anymore and fell. Somehow,
though, I fell in some bushes and fell to the ground dazed, but
basically OK! Just as I'm coming around, I look up and BAM this
refrigerator lands on me. So here I am."

St. Peter immediately admitted this second man to heaven, and pulled
aside the third man and asked him for his story.

"Picture this: I'm hiding naked in a refrigerator..."

Personally, if you can't laugh at your politicians you have no sense of
humour.

(and I do take politics seriously, but they are all scrutinized that any of
them will

Do something ludicrous)..

 

That being said, Friday humour is just that, FRIDAY HUMOUR.

 

IF we allow Gidd to post obnoxious jokes about blonds, we can allow
politics.

 

ON FRIDAY.

 

Enough said. Today is not Friday (as much as I wish it were...)

 Nahh... It's actually quite easy really. I'm just not certain that we want to 
go there.

 

"...So I m not sure what their choice of cars says about their personalities..."

 

If I were to venture a guess, it would be that *one* of these fellas realizes 
that size does matter, and therefore has more fun. :-)

Obama drives a Ford Escape Hybrid, which isn t listed here.  

 

McCain drives a Cadillac CTS, a 2005 Volkswagen convertible, a 2001 Honda

If someone has already told him it was inappropriate, then that's enough. Drop 
the discussion, we don't need 100 people dropping in and flaming one of our 
family members because something he thought was funny wasn't to some of us.

I personally chuckled a bit, and I'm a republican. I see these for what they 
are, humor. Obviously none of the statements are true. It is Friday, and feel 
free to delete and not read any more Friday posts if you are offended. I know 
I've been offended by a few over the years, and have not said anything.

It's politics, it's not like he was insulting anyone's heritage.

When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day 
is not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 Beers.


A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of 
him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty 
mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the 
students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.


The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar He 
shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf 
balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.


The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of 
course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was 
full. The students responded with an unanimous 'yes.'


The professor then produced two Beers from under the table and poured the 
entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between the 
sand. The students laughed.


'Now,' said the professor as the laughter subsided, 'I want you to recognize 
that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important 
things---your family, your children, your health, your friends and your 
favorite passions---and if everything else was lost and only they remained, 
your life would still be full.


The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house and your 
car.


The sand is everything else---the small stuff. 'If you put the sand into the 
jar first,' he continued, 'there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. 
The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small 
stuff you will never have room for the things that are important to you.


'Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Spend time

When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day 
is not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 Beers.


A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of 
him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty 
mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the 
students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.


The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar He 
shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf 
balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.


The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of 
course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was 
full. The students responded with an unanimous 'yes.'


The professor then produced two Beers from under the table and poured the 
entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between the 
sand. The students laughed.


'Now,' said the professor as the laughter subsided, 'I want you to recognize 
that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important 
things---your family, your children, your health, your friends and your 
favorite passions---and if everything else was lost and only they remained, 
your life would still be full.


The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house and your 
car.


The sand is everything else---the small stuff. 'If you put the sand into the 
jar first,' he continued, 'there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. 
The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small 
stuff you will never have room for the things that are important to you.


'Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Spend time 
with your children Spend time with your parents. Visit with grandparents. Take 
time to get medical checkups. Take your spouse out to dinner. Play another 18.


There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal. Take care of 
the golf balls first---the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The 
rest is just sand.'


One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the Beer represented. The

My gmail account had this web link above my ARSList labeled email today...

I found it kind of funny so here it is...

"Optimize your BMC - www.Avocent.com - Harness the management power of
the server BMC with Avocent IPMI"
--> 
http://www.avocent.com/Learnmore/Default.aspx?id=868&gclid=COOWoO7eq5MCFQWVFQodsmL03g

In this case "BMC" is being used to mean "BMC (Baseboard Management

So I learned a new TLA (Three letter acronym) expansion for BMC today.

SAD NEWS... 

Please join me in remembering a great icon of the entertainment community.
The Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday of a yeast infection and trauma
complications from repeated pokes in the belly. He was 71.. 


Doughboy was buried in a lightly greased coffin. Dozens of celebrities
turned out to pay their respects, including Mrs. Butterworth, Hungry Jack,
theCalifornia Raisins, Betty Crocker, the Hostess Twinkies, and Captain
Crunch. The grave site was piled high with flours. 

Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy and lovingly described Doughboy as a man
who never knew how much he was kneaded. Doughboy rose quickly in show
business, but his later life was filled with turnovers. He was not
considered a very smart cookie, wasting much of his dough on half-baked
schemes. Despite being a little flaky at times he still was a crusty old man
and was considered a positive roll model for millions. 


Doughboy is survived by his wife Play Dough, two children, John Dough and
Jane Dough, plus they had one in the oven. He is also survived by his
elderly father, Pop Tart. 


The funeral was held at 3:50 for about 20 minutes.
 

If this made you smile for even a brief second, please rise to the occasion
and take time to pass it on and share that smile with someone else who may
be having a crumby day and kneads it.

A cannibal was walking through the jungle and came upon a restaurant
operated by a fellow cannibal. Feeling somewhat hungry, he sat down and
looked over the menu...

The cannibal called the waiter over and asked, 'Why such a price difference

OT:Friday Humor (INEXPERIENCED CHILI TASTER)

2007-09-21 Thread Kevin Gallagher
I miss the Friday Humor, so here it goes:

Notes from an inexperienced chili taster named FRANK, whom
was visiting Texas from the East Coast: 

"Recently I was honored to be selected as a judge at a chili cook-off. 
The original person called in sick at the last moment, and I happened
to be standing there at the judge's table asking directions to the beer
wagon when the call came. I was assured by the other two judges (Native
Texans) that the chili would not be all that spicy, and besides, they
told me I could have free beer during the tasting, so I accepted.

Here are the scorecards from the event:

Chili # 1: Mike's Maniac Mobster Monster Chili
JUDGE ONE: A little too heavy on tomato.  Amusing kick.

JUDGE TWO: Nice, smooth tomato flavor.  Very mild.

FRANK: Holy shit, what the hell is this stuff?  You could
remove dried paint from your driveway.  Took me two beers
to put the flames out.  hope that's the worst one.  These
Texans are crazy.

Chili # 2: Arthur's Afterburner Chili
JUDGE ONE: Smoky, with a hint of pork.  Slight Jalapeno tang.

JUDGE TWO: Exciting BBQ flavor, needs more peppers to be
taken seriously.

FRANK: Keep this out of reach of children!  I'm not sure
what I am supposed to taste besides pain.  I had to wave
off two people who wanted to give me the Heimlich maneuver.
They had to rush in more beer when they saw the look
on my face.

Chili # 3: Fred's Famous Burn Down the Barn Chili
JUDGE ONE: Excellent firehouse chili!  Great kick.  Needs
more beans.

JUDGE TWO: A beanless chili, a bit salty, good use of
red peppers.

FRANK: Call the EPA, I've located a uranium spill.  My
nose feels like I have been snorting Drano.  Everyone
knows the routine by now, get me more beer before I
ignite.  Barmaid pounded me on the back; now my backbone
is in the front part of my chest.  I'm getting shit-faced
from all the beer.

Chili # 4: Bubba's Black Magic
JUDGE ONE: Black bean chili with almost no spice.
Disappointing.

JUDGE TWO: Hint of lime in the black beans.  Good side
dish for fish or other mild foods, not much of a chili.

FRANK: I felt something scraping across my tongue, but
was unable to taste it, is it possible to burn-out taste
buds?  Sally, the bar maid, was standing behind me with
fresh refills; that 300 lb.  bitch is starting to look
HOT, just like this nuclear-waste I'm eating.  Is chili
an aphrodisiac?

Chili # 5: Linda's Legal Lip Remover
JUDGE ONE: Meaty, strong chili.  Cayenne peppers freshly
ground, adding considerable kick.  Very impressive.

JUDGE TWO: Chili using shredded beef; could use more
tomato.  Must admit the cayenne peppers make a strong
statement.

FRANK: My ears are ringing, sweat is pouring off my
forehead and I can no longer focus my eyes.  I farted
and four people behind me needed paramedics.

The contestant seemed offended when I told her that her
chili had given me brain damage.  Sally saved my tongue
from bleeding by pouring beer directly on it from a
pitcher.  I wonder if I'm burning my lips off?  It really
pisses me off that the other judges asked me to stop
screaming.  Screw those rednecks!

Chili # 6: Vera's Very Vegetarian Variety
JUDGE ONE: Thin yet bold vegetarian variety chili.  Good
balance of spice and peppers.

JUDGE TWO: The best yet.  Aggressive use of peppers,
onions and garlic, Superb.

FRANK: My intestines are now a straight pipe filled with
gaseous, sulfuric flames.  I shit myself when I farted
and I'm worried it will eat through the chair.  No one
seems inclined to stand behind me except that slut
Sally, she must be kinkier than I thought.  Can't feel
my lips anymore.  I need to wipe my ass with a snow cone!

Chili # 7: Susan's Screaming Sensation Chili
JUDGE ONE: A mediocre chili with too much reliance on
canned peppers.

JUDGE TWO: Ho Hum, tastes as if the chef literally threw
in a can of chili peppers at the last moment.  I should
note that I am worried about Judge Number 3.  He appears
to be in a bit of distress as he is cursing uncontrollably.

FRANK: You could put a grenade in my mouth, pull the pin,
and I wouldn't feel a damn thing.  I've lost the sight
in one eye, and the world sounds like it is made of rushing
water.  My shirt is covered with chili which slid unnoticed
out of my mouth.  My pants are full of lava-like shit to
match my damn shirt.  At least during the autopsy they'll
know what killed me.  I've decided to stop breathing, it's
too painful.  Screw it, I'm not getting any oxygen anyway.
If I need air, I'll just suck it in through the 4 inch hole
in my stomach.

Chili # 8: Helen's Mount Saint Chili
JUDGE ONE: A perfect ending, this is a nice blend chili,
safe for all, not too bold but spicy enough to declare
its existence.

JUDGE TWO: This final entry is a good, balanced chili,
neither mild or hot.  Sorry to see that most of it was lost
when Judge Number 3 passed out, fell over and pulled the
chili pot down on top of himself.  Not sure if he's going
to make it.  Poor Yank, wonder how he'd have reacted
to a really hot chili?

Two blondes are walking down the street. One notices a compact on the
sidewalk and leans down to pick it up. She opens it, looks in the mirror and
says, "Hum, this person looks familiar." The second blonde says, "Here, let
me see!" So the first blonde hands her the compact. The second one looks in
the mirror and says, "You dummy, it's me!" 

  _  

A blonde suspects her boyfriend of cheating on her, so she goes out and buys
a gun. She goes to his apartment unexpectedly and when she opens the door
she finds him in the arms of a redhead. Well, the blonde is really angry.
She opens her purse to take out the gun, and as she does so, she is overcome
with grief. She takes the gun and puts it to her head. The boyfriend yells,
"No, honey, don't do it." The blonde replies, 
"Shut up, you're next!" 

  _  

A blonde was bragging about her knowledge of state capitals. She proudly
says, "Go ahead, ask me, I know all them." A friend says, "OK, what's the
capital of Wisconsin?" The blonde replies, "Oh, that's easy: W." 

  _  

What did the blonde say to her doctor when he told her she was pregnant? 

"Is it mine?" 

  _  

   Returning home from work, a blonde was shocked to find her house
ransacked and burglarized. She telephoned the police at once and reported
the crime. The police dispatcher broadcast the call on the channels, and a
K-9 unit patrolling nearby was the first to respond. 
   As the K-9 officer approached the house with his dog on a leash, the
blonde ran out on the porch, shuddered at the sight of the cop and his dog,
then sat down on the steps. Putting her face in her hands, she moaned, "I
come home to find all my possessions stolen. I call the police for help, and
what do they do? They send me a BLIND policeman!"

  _  

   A Red head was going to by a bull. She left the trailer with the blonde
on the other side of the state. The red head had $600 for a bull and she
found one for $599. Then the red head went to send a telegram to the blonde.

   The guy at the counter said $1 for one word. The read head thought and
thought for a word then she said "comfortable." Then the man asked her why
she picked that word and the red head said, " Well you see my receiver reads
kind of slow."

  _  

This guy has been sitting in a bar all night, staring at a blonde wearing
the tightest pants he's ever seen. Finally his curiosity gets the best of
him, so he walks over and asks, "How do you get into those pants?" The young

A blonde calls Delta Airlines and asks, "Can you tell me how long it'll take

   A blonde went to electronics store and she asked, "How is much is this
TV?"  The salesman said, "Sorry, we don't sell to blondes." 
   The next day she came back as a brunette. She asked the salesman how much
the TV was. He said, "Sorry, we don't sell to blondes." 
   The next day she came back as a red head and asked the salesman how much
the TV was. He said, "Sorry we don't sell to blondes."

know I am a blonde?" 
   "Because that is not a TV, it's a microwave."

   A lawyer and a blonde are sitting next to each other on a long flight
from LA to NY. The lawyer leans over to her and asks if she would like to
play a fun game. The blonde just wants to take a nap, so she politely
declines and rolls over to the window to catch a few winks.
   The lawyer persists and explains that the game is really easy and a lot
of fun. He explains "I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer,
you pay me $5, and visa-versa." Again, she politely declines and tries to
get some sleep.
   The lawyer, now somewhat agitated, says, "Okay, if you don't know the
answer you pay me $5, and if I don't know the answer, I will pay you $50!"
figuring that since she is a blonde that he will easily win the match. This
catches the blonde's attention and figuring that there will be no end to
this torment unless she plays, agrees to the game.
   The lawyer asks the first question. "What's the distance from the earth
to the moon?" The blonde doesn't say a word, reaches in to her purse, pulls
out a five-dollar bill and hands it to the lawyer.
   Now, it's the blonde's turn. She asks the lawyer, "What goes up a hill
with three legs, and comes down with four?" The lawyer looks at her with a
puzzled look. He takes out his laptop computer and searches all his
references. He taps into the Air-phone with his modem and searches the Net
and the Library of Congress.  Frustrated, he sends E-mails to all his
coworkers and friends he knows. All to no avail. After over an hour, he
wakes the blonde and hands her $50. The blonde politely takes the $50 and
turns away to get back to sleep.

Walking on the Beach

A project manager, software engineer, and hardware engineer are in Miami
Beach for a two-week period helping out on a project. On their lunch hours,
they often chose to walk up and down the beach. During one of these walks,
they stumble upon a lamp. 
 
The hardware engineer picks up the lamp and rubs it. A genie appears and
says "Normally I would grant 3 wishes, but since there are 3 of you, I will
grant you each one wish." 
 
Since he was holding the lamp, the hardware engineer went first. "I would
like to spend the rest of my life living in a huge house in St. Thomas, with
no money worries and surrounded by beautiful women who worship me." The
genie granted him his wish and sent him on off to St. Thomas. 
 
The software engineer went next. "I would like to spend the rest of my life
living on a huge yacht cruising the Mediterranean, with no money worries and
surrounded by beautiful women who worship me." The genie granted him his
wish and sent him off to the Mediterranean. 
 
Last, but not least, it was the project manager's turn. "And what would your
wish be?" asked the genie. "I want them both back after lunch," replied the
project manager.

Software Revision Levels Explained

How should a revision level be interpreted? Here's a quick guide for anyone
short of a clue: 

0.1   WE GOT A REALLY GREAT NEW WAY TO DO THINGS  !!!
<0.9  Not ready for prime time.
0.9   We think it works, but we won't bet our lives on it.
1.0   Management is on our case;  seems like a low risk.
1.01  Okay, we knew about that.  All known bugs are fixed.
1.02  Fixes bugs you won't see in 27,000 years, i.e. more
  than three times the age of the universe.
1.03  Fixes bugs in the bug fixes.
1.04  All right, this REALLY fixes all known bugs.
1.05  Fixes bugs introduced in rev 1.04.
1.1   A new crew hired to write documentation.
1.11  From now on, no comma after "i.e." or "e.g.".
1.2   Somebody actually changed a functional feature.
2.0   New crew hired to write software.  Old crew blamed for
  bugs.
2.01  New crew sending out resumes to placement agencies.
3.0   Re-write the software in another language, go back
  ten squares.
...  return to line 0.1
 
 
The Software Development Process


1) Order the T-shirts for the Development team 
 
2) Announce availability 
 
3) Write the code 
 
4) Write the manual 
 
5) Hire a Product Manager 
 
6) Spec the software (Writing the specs after the code helps to ensure that
the software meets the specifications) 
 
7) Ship 
 
8) Test (the customers are a big help here) 
 
9) Identify bugs as potential enhancements 
 
10) Announce the upgrade program

OT:Friday Humor...Oakland Practice Delayed

OAKLAND, 
(CA)--Oakland Raiders football practice 
was delayed nearly two hours today after a player reported finding an unknown 
white powdery substance on the practice field. Head coach Art Shell immediately 
suspended practice and called the police and federal investigators. 
After a complete analysis, FBI forensic experts determined 
that the white substance unknown to players was the GOAL LINE. Practice resumed 
after special agents decided the team was unlikely to encounter the substance 
again.  Also, do you know how many Raiders it takes to 
change a flat tire? 
 
Only one, unless it is 
a blowout, then the whole team shows up!

Vacation Humor  

 
 I just got back from 
vacation and, boy, do I need a vacation!
 
 I really needed a 
vacation. I was starting to hum the tunes to rap songs.
 
 On our vacation we stayed 
in an 18th century inn that was the site of a notorious affair between Betsy 
Ross and John Quincy Gifford.
 
 "Winnebago" — I think 
that’s an old Indian term meaning "I’m gonna kill those kids when I get 
home!"
 
 Just got back from 
vacation, and I’m glad to say that my credit cards are all in 
remission.
 
 I asked my wife if she 
could take any cruise she wanted, which would she take? She said, "Tom." 

 
 A cruise is when you go 
for days and days--and see nothing but food. 
 
 We vacationed by car and 
saw the U.S.A. the old-fashioned way--one tow truck at a time. 
 
 A dream vacation would be 
one where your family all gets along. 
 
 
 
For those of us in the US, it's time to start 
planning our summer vacations.Although you can't shoot them any more, you 
can still get a thrill byphotographing animals in the wild. The last time I 
was in Africa though, Igot a double hernia from carrying around the stupid 
rhino decoys.
 
Hawaii is also a possibility, assuming one can 
afford it. The last time Iwas there, I got a terrific tan. Near as I can 
figure, it cost meapproximately $65 a square inch.
 
Japan is another spot worth considering. Be careful 
in the cities though.They all drive sub-compacts. It's been over ten years 
since any Americanpedestrian was hit above the waist.
 
If you can't stand hot dry air, I'd avoid any 
country that's mostly desert.At most funerals, they have to prime the 
mourners. They still do baptisms,but have to use a damp cloth.
 
In India, it's not uncommon to see people praying 
in the streets. While wehave the same thing in the US, it's pedestrians 
crossing.
 
Mexico is famous for all its festivals. I went down 
there once for theannual Kaopectate Festival.
 
Once in Paris I told my wife that I'd been there 
four days and hadn't beento the Louvre yet. She replied, "Don't worry, maybe 
it's just the water."
 
But if you can't get away for a vacation, just tip 
every third person yousee. It'll be about the
