Mac Advice - A columnist who conversed with
crowds at the New York State Fair last week found himself convincing many
consumers to consider buying a Mac. People were perplexed by how easily Windows
PCs are perpetrated and were asking advice on what could be done about it.
Mac was advised because it runs a Unix operating system and is highly unsusceptible
to viruses. - from The
Post-Standard
Send In The Nerds - Nerds, a new musical,
is a play which pokes fun at Apple and Windows CEO's, Steve Jobs and Bill
Gates. Songs in the musical do not always sing the praises of the two computer
gurus, as the story is based on their fierce rivalry. The show does capture,
however, the iconic effect both boys have had in the computer world and for
the new generation. - from MacNewsWorld

Odds and Ends
Grease Monkey - The phrase "grease
monkey" comes from the person (usually a young boy) that would crawl
up in the rafters to grease all of the pulleys and belts that ran all of
the equipment in a blacksmith shop or machine shop.
Eye Of The Beholder - The pupil of the eye
expands as much as 45 percent when a person looks at something pleasing.
Camel "Buts" - Camel's-hair brushes
are not made of camel's hair. They were invented by a man named Mr. Camel.
Forever, And Ever, And Ever... - I would like
to live forever, because we should not live forever, because if we were ever
supposed to live forever, then we would live forever, but we cannot live forever,
which is why I would not live forever.
- Miss Alabama 1994
Lawless Crime - I haven't committed
a crime. What I did was fail to comply with the law.
- David Dinkins

Accurate Witness
A witness to an automobile accident was testifying. The following exchange
took place between the lawyer and the witness:
The lawyer: "Did you actually see the accident?"
The witness: "Yes, sir."
The lawyer: "How far away were you when the accident happened?"
The witness: "Thirty-one feet, six and one quarter inches."
The lawyer (thinking he'd trap the witness): "Well, sir, will you tell
the jury how you knew it was exactly that distance?"
The witness: "Because when the accident happened I took out a tape
and measured it. I knew some stupid lawyer would ask me that question."
Camp Rules
A loaded mini van pulled in to the only remaining campsite. Four children
leaped from the vehicle and began feverishly unloading gear and setting up
the tent.
The boys rushed to gather firewood, while the girls and their mother set
up the camp stove and cooking utensils.
A nearby camper marveled to the youngsters' father, "That, sir, is
some display of teamwork."
The father replied, "I have a system; no one goes to the bathroom until
the camp is set up."
An Unkempt Housekeeper
A minister was asked to dinner by one of his parishioners who was known
as being an unkempt housekeeper.
When he sat down at the table, he noticed that the dishes were the dirtiest
that he had ever seen in his life. "Were these dishes ever washed?" he
asked his hostess, running his fingers over the grit and grime. She replied, "They're
as clean as soap and water could get them."
He felt a bit apprehensive, but blessed the food anyway and started eating.
It was really delicious and he said so, despite the dirty dishes. When dinner
was over, the hostess took the dishes outside whistled and yelled, "Here
Soap! Here Water!"
And He Works on Your Car
When my husband and I arrived at an automobile dealership to pick up our
car, we were told that the keys had been accidentally locked in it.
We went to the service department and found a mechanic working feverishly
to unlock the driver's side door.
As I watched from the passenger's side, I instinctively tried the door handle
and discovered it was open.
"Hey," I announced to the technician, "It's open!"
"I know," answered the young man, "I already got that side."
