This guy decides to get a sex change.  So he goes to the doctors and
has the thing done.  A couple of weeks later he was talking to one of
his old buddies about it.  "Gee, it must have really hurt when they
shot all that silicon into your chest to make your breasts."  "Not
really, I hardly felt it."  "Well, it must have really hurt when they
chopped off your manhood!" "Nope, I didn't really feel it either.  The
only thing that really hurt was when they drilled a hole in my skull
and sucked out half my brain."

I'm not sure if this was done deliberately, but it wasted a lot of time.

We have thinwire ethernet from wallboxes to PCs in the offices; one wire goes 
from a jack on the wall to a T-connector back of the PC, another goes from 
the other end of the T back to another jack on the wall. All the wires are 
ratted up behind the desk. Someone had linked one wire in a loop from one
wall jack to the other. The second wire was looped through the first from one 
side of the T to the other (not electrically connected). So there's 2 wires
going into the T on the back of the PC, and 2 going into the wallbox, but the
PC can't communicate. So of course its gotta be a software problem, or a 
cable break, or a transceiver problem....

Ok there's this guy and he's telling me about a date he had last night.
This is how it goes ok?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Beginning of Joke~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I picked up this girl from her house and I noticed she was squinting.
The whole car ride to the restaurant she squinted in the car.  After
dinner we saw a movie.  I picked a seat near the front because I thought
it would help her see it better but she still squinted throughout the
whole movie.  After the movie I drove her home and she squinted the 
whole way there too.  So when we were saying goodbye I asked her..

    "What's wrong? Since I picked you up you have been squinting. 
    You were squinting in the restaurant and throughout the whole 
    movie! Do you need glasses or something?!?"

    "Fuck you," she said. "I never want to go out with you again!!!!"

Damn those Asian women are sensitive!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~End of Joke~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hey no offense intended!!  I'm asian too.

p.s. You happy Dan!

Reminds me of a religion I made up once:

The 'fuck-you-all' religion.

   Many sects believe that THEY are the only ones to be saved, while all
those who have not accepted their faith are doomed to eternal torture.

I've taken it one step further. You see, I'm going to heaven. EVERYONE
else, past and future, is doomed to be tortured eternally by demented
spirits in scaly burning bodies, made immortal to be rent asunder for
ever and ever, while I sit in heaven, getting my jollies.

It's a bit hard to get followers. I'm working on that one.


There are a few heretical sects, of course; others believing THEMSELVES
to be the One Saved, but don't fall into their lure. Only I'm saved. And
I'll save my followers cool places in the inferno...

1.    Hard disks are preferred over floppies.
2.    A 3.5" disk, although smaller in physical dimensions than a 5.25",
   will serve the same purpose. 
3.   In some societies, shorter access time is viewed as desirable. The
   converse is true in Western society.
4.   Always place your disk in a clean, lint-free jacket.
5.   Watch out for viruses. Although abstinence from disk usage will work,
   you will have a hard time getting work done. If your disk drive has
   had several users, take even more precaution, as viruses are often
   spread by disk drives without proper scanners.
6.   Always place 5.25" disks in the 5.25" disk drive. Attempted placement
   in 3.5" drives can lead to physical damage.
7.   One can use a disk without a disk drive, however, this has been known
   to cause imperfections on the surface of the disk as well as damage
   file headers. This behavior is known as Diskurbation.
8.   Never place your disk in a tape drive or any other storage device
   other than a disk drive. Not only is this nonproductive, it will make
   you the neighborhood outcast. It is against the computer operator's
   rules to do this. The behavior is referred to as Interstorage
   Mismatching.
9.   Beware of Acquired Interrupted Disk Storage. This condition stems from
   the virus known as 'Hi, I'm a Virus' and is impossible to detect within
   the first twelve weeks after acquisition. Symptoms include strange
   discolorations on the disk, physical failure, damage to file headers,
   and eventually, self-destruction of the disk. There is no fixit to
   this virus, but attempts at eradication are taking place in major
   computer research centres. 
10.   Some disk users derive pleasure out of damaging other's disk drives
    or having their own damaged. These users are described as
    MicroDestructivistic.
11.   There are several magazines in which disk drives are displayed.
    These include Diskhouse, Diskboy, We (love disks), Diskallery, and 
    Diskenesis. Some rate their drives as Drive of the year, etc.
    In addition, disk users may mail, write, or talk to servers. Notable
    telephone lines are 1-900-Hot-Disk, 1-900-com-mand, 1-900-77m-kdir,
    1-900-shu-gart and 1-900-77c-hmod. The last two are for PENIX operators [1].
