Today, I printed out a recipe of the internet for making bacon cookies. Halfway through cooking, I realized that step 5 was "Beat it like it owes you money." Thank you, mysterious cookie-pimp, for making my day. MLIA

Today, I discovered that if you put the word banana in a string of hahas in a text, no one will notice the difference. For two days now i have been texting hahahahahahahabananahaha and no one has noticed. MLIA

Today, I learned that Duct Tape was, in fact, originally called Duck Tape. Told you so. MLIA

Today, I joined the FaceBook group 'FaceBook is the only place where it's acceptable to talk to a wall'. It made me think. MLIA

Today, I was fixing my hair at the same time as my sister. She accidentally pushed the light switch with her arm, and the bathroom was pitch black. When she turned it on, we were both making a funny face. She then turned it off again, and we made another face. We continued for a while, and then continued to fix our hair. We never said one word. MLIA

(I am in the middle of finishing the last download to fix a customer's computer, but his internet keeps resetting.)
Me: “Sorry the download didn’t work. Your internet reset again. We will have to try it again and hopefully it will finish this time.”
Customer: “You know, if you want to speed this up, all you have to do is take the mouse, and kinda rub it over the download box.”
Me: “I’m sorry, rub it over the download box?”
Customer: “Yea you know? If you tickle the download box with the mouse it goes faster. I thought you would know that, being a Tech Support guy and all.”

Just for Giggles
from www.cleanjoke.com

I’m Tired! Yes, I’m tired. For several years I’ve been blaming it on getting older, lack of sleep, weekend projects, stale office air, poor nutrition, carrying extra pounds, raising a family, recent colds, and a dozen other reasons that make you wonder why life is getting rough.

But now I found out what’s really happening! I’m tired because I’m overworked. The population of the USA reached 300 million last October. 79 million of the population are retired. That leaves 221 million to do the work. There are 19 million toddlers and 76 million students in schools, which leaves 126 million to do the work. Of that total, 21 million are unemployed leaving 105 million to do the work.

Then you take away 34 million in hospitals and that leaves 71 million to do the work. 43 million are in prisons and that’s 28 million left to do the work. Now take away 14,683,468 federal, 5,344,722 state and 5,370,743 city workers who run our government and you’re left with 2,601,067 to do the work. Take away the 2,601,065 people in the armed forces and that leaves just two people to do the work - You and Me! And you’re just sitting there reading this! No wonder I’m tired!!!



Dun dun dun dun … dun dun … dun dun CAN'T TOUCH THIS!

Have a terrific Tuesday!!
