The Top - Alrighty then, folks! This is the last chance to wonder

The Right Job Part I
Put around 100 bricks in some particular order in a closed room with an
open window.
Then send 2-3 candidates into the room and close it from outside. Leave
them alone and come back after 6 hours, and then analyze the situation:
If they are counting and recounting the number of bricks - PUT THEM
IN ACCOUNTS DEPT.
If they have messed up the whole place with the bricks - PUT THEM
IN ENGINEERING.
If they are arranging the bricks in some other order - PUT THEM IN PLANNING.
If they are throwing the bricks at each other - PUT THEM IN OPERATIONS.
If they are sleeping - PUT THEM IN SECURITY.
If they have broken the bricks into pieces - PUT THEM IN INFORMATION
TECHNOLOGY.
If they are sitting idle - PUT THEM IN HUMAN RESOURCE DEPT.
Baby Boomers Prayer
God, grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway, the
good fortune to run into the ones that I do, and the eyesight to tell the
difference.
Coke Please
I've always ordered beverages one simple way: "A Coke, please."
Lately, though, this hasn't seemed to work. Waitresses now often respond, "I'm
sorry, we don't have Coke. We have Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Dr. Pepper, Mr. Pibb."
Tired of listening to the long list of soft drinks, I thought I'd make life
easier. So one day I simply asked the snack bar clerk at a movie theater
for a "dark, carbonated beverage."
The young man behind the counter chuckled and asked, "Sir, would you
like a cylindrical plastic sucking device with that?"
Engineer
Q: When does a person decide to become an engineer?
A: When he realizes he
doesn't have the charisma to be an undertaker.
Doctor-Patient Friendship
The patient shook his doctor's hand and said, "Since we are the best
of friends, I would not want to insult you by offering payment. But I would
like you to know that I have mentioned you in my will."
"That is very kind of you," said the doctor, who added, "Can
I see that prescription I just gave you? I'd like to make a little change."

From Cingular To Singular - Cingular could
be the first company singing with iTunes later this year as Motorola is in
talks with Apple right now regarding revenue of the iTunes phone. The phone
is expected to bring in loads of loot as the combination of the two companies
Motorola and Apple can't be beat. A few delays have come about due to profit
concerns on the operator's part, but the song phone is still scheduled to
ship this year. - from The

Digital News Downloads - The effect iTunes
has had on the music industry  has perked up the ears of news reporters, and
interested them in a service in which the public could download specific
newscasts as well. This "iTunes of News" would provide articles
from newspapers and magazines for download according to a small fee. Web
publishers are thrilled with the prospect and are in talks to make it possible. -

earned a B.A. in pre-law from the University of California at Santa Barbara.
Boring, Boring, Boring - Seeing another person
yawn makes it likely that you will yawn yourself. Thinking about, even reading
about yawning can set you off. People with mental disorders such as psychoses
rarely yawn.

brain, 4.2% of its body weight, is proportionately the largest in the bird

Die 4 You -
A girl asked a boy if she was pretty. He said no.
She asked him if he wanted to be with her
forever. He said no.
She then asked him if he would cry if she
walked away. He again said no.
She had heard too much. She needed to leave.
As she walked away, he grabbed her
arm and told her to stay, he said, "You're not
pretty, you're beautiful. I don't want to be with you
forever, I need to be with you forever. I wouldn't
cry if you walked away, I would die."

One Tough Teacher
A school teacher injured his back and had to wear a plaster cast around
the upper part of his body. It fit under his shirt and was not noticeable
at all. On the first day of the term, still with the cast under his shirt,
he found himself assigned to the toughest students in school.
Walking confidently into the rowdy classroom, he opened the window as wide
as possible and then busied himself with desk work.
When a strong breeze made his tie flap, he took the desk stapler and stapled
the tie to his chest.
He had no trouble with discipline that term.
Dr. Seuss' Lost Tongue Twisters
Say this out loud:
This is this cat
This is is cat
This is how cat
This is to cat
This is keep cat
This is a cat
This is fool cat
This is busy cat
This is for cat
This is forty cat
This is seconds cats
Now say out loud the THIRD word in each line, from the start!
Just Drive!
A guy was driving when a policeman pulled him over. He rolled down his
window and said to the officer, "Is there a problem, Officer?"
"No problem at all. I just observed your safe driving and am pleased
to
award you a $5,000 Safe Driver Award. Congratulations. What do you think
you're going to do with the money?"
He thought for a minute and said, "Well, I guess I'll go get that drivers'
license."
The lady sitting in the passenger seat said to the policeman, "Oh,
don't
pay attention to him - he's a smart butt when he's drunk."
The guy from the back seat said, "I TOLD you guys we wouldn't get far
in a stolen car!"
At that moment, there was a knock from the trunk and a muffled voice said, "Are
we over the border yet?"
Feed Me
I thought about how mothers feed their babies with little tiny spoons and
forks, so I wonder what Chinese mothers use. Toothpicks?
Fun Guy
A mushroom walks into the bar and says to the bartender "Hey, could
I get a beer please"
The bartender looks at him shaking his head and
say "No, we don't serve
food here"
The mushroom says "Why not? I'm a Fungi!"
