A Teenager Again
A man asked his wife, "What would you most like for your birthday?"
She said, "I'd love to be a teenager again."
On the morning of her birthday, he got her up bright and early and off they
went to a theme park.
He put her on every ride in the park - the Death Slide, The Screaming Loop,
the Wall of Fear. Everything there was, she had a go.
She staggered out of the theme park five hours later, her head reeling and
her stomach upside down.
Into McDonalds they went, where she was given a Double Big Mac with extra
fries and a strawberry shake.
Then off to a theater to see Star Wars - more burgers, popcorn, cola and
sweets.
At last she staggered home with her husband and collapsed into bed.
Her husband leaned over and asked, "Well, dear, what was it like being
ten again?"
One eye opened and she groaned, "Actually I meant dress size."
Thanksgiving Drumsticks
Why did they let the turkey join the band?
Because he had the drumsticks.
Airhead Sighting
A buddy and I were golfing one afternoon and getting somewhat bored with
the round; so when we came upon the water hazard with two ducks sitting quietly
on the water, I challenged him saying he couldn't hit a duck and five dollars
he couldn't even get one to move. Being a guy, he of course tried.
He launched four tee shots toward the ducks, and even threw two by hand,
and the ducks still wouldn't budge. Only after he lost six golf balls did
he realize the ducks were decoys.
Turkey Rest
Why did the police arrest the turkey?
They suspected it of fowl play.

iPod Sweeps PC World - The year 2005 sprouted
more switchers to Apple than ever before. Over a million to be exact. That's
right, because of the iPod and the halo effect it is heralded for, more than
a million PC users have now purchased Macs. Waves of Windows users have been
so impressed by Apple's icon iPod they have given up their worries and their
computer worms for the Wow of Apple desktops. -
from CNNMoney
XSan Port Of Entry - Though Apple has more
than put its foot in the corporate door with its powerful server XServe,
its release of XSan will make XServe even more marketable. XSan adds an unmistakable
interface of Apple excellence as well as even more speed to XServe. It is
a small port which adds a powerful punch to a server that already excels.
And best of all it is cost efficient in the face of competitor counterparts. -

Moose Mayhem - A mother moose and her calf
wore out their welcome  when they were found trespassing on the grounds of
an old folks' home. The Swedish moose were simply seeking a midnight snack
eating the fallen apples in the yard. The animals had become drunk on the
fermented fruit, however, and began to violently pursue more apples. Police
chased them away and took the temptation away by cleaning up the apples. -

Design Studios' Francisco Bennett with his latest piece titled Flux
Density! Not only does this fine selection come in Tiger Orange,

The only question is, "What ever happened to the Flux Capacitor!?!?"
Etc... - Ever since the release of Mac OS

Turkey Treat
Just before Thanksgiving, the holding pen was abuzz as Mother Turkey scolded
her younger birds.
"You turkeys are always into mischief," she gobbled. "If
your grandfather could see the things you do, he'd turn over in his gravy."
Blonde Thanksgiving
It was the first time the blonde
was eating Thanksgiving dinner without her family. Trying to re-enact the
tradition, she prepared a dinner for herself alone. The next day, her mother
called to see how everything went.
"Oh, mother, I made myself a lovely dinner, but I had so much trouble
trying to eat the turkey!" said the daughter.
"Did it not taste good?" her mother asked.
"I don't know," the blonde said. "It wouldn't sit still!"

Second-Hand iPod Sales Soar - The need for
newer better iPods is creating quite a large market for second-hand iPods.
Many who want a new iPod are selling their used ones. Especially hot on the
second-hand iPod market are iPod minis since Apple discontinued that particular
item. Some are crazy about the colors and are on the lookout to get any minis
that might be left. All in all, iPod's life span averages 1.5 years. -

Odds and Ends
National Bird
Benjamin Franklin wanted to make the turkey the national bird of the United
States of America, but he was opposed by Thomas Jefferson. Legend has it
that Franklin then named the male turkey a "tom turkey" to
spite Jefferson. The female is called a "hen turkey" and the baby
a "poult."
Odiferous Snifferous
One peculiar behavior of dachshunds is that they often roll around in odiferous
things when they encounter them. This odd habit has been attributed to the
dog's hunting instinct. Doing this is the dachshund's attempt to "lose
its scent" so that its potential prey cannot smell it.
Washington's "National Day of Thanksgiving" - On October 3, 1863 Abraham Lincoln issued a "Thanksgiving Proclamation" that
made the last Thursday in November a national holiday. Before that, the president
had to make an annual proclamation naming the day when Thanksgiving was going
to be held.
Kiss Off - As a teenager, Courtney Love
ended up in a juvenile detention center for shoplifting a Kiss T-shirt.
Thanks For Nothing, I Got Something - Got no
check books, got no banks. Still I'd like to express my thanks - I got the
sun in the mornin' and the moon at night.
- Irving Berlin
It's Simple -
My father was a simple man. My mother was a simple woman. You see the result
standing in front of you, a simpleton.
- Chic Murray
Compute This - Computers will never
take the place of books. You can't stand on a floppy disk to reach a high
shelf.

A Real Clucker
Gobbler said, "Doctor, help me! I can't stop acting like a turkey!"
"I see," said the doctor. "How long have you had this problem?"
"Let
me think a second. Mom laid the egg in 1954..."
Cyber Prayer
A mother was teaching her 3 year old daughter to say the Lord's prayer.
For several evenings at bedtime, she repeated it after her mother. One night
she said she was ready to solo. The mother listened with pride as her daughter
carefully enunciated each word right up to the end, when she said, "Lead
us not into temptation, but deliver us some e-mail. Amen."
Fine Feather Football
The pro football team had just finished their daily practice session when
a large turkey came strutting onto the field. While the players gazed in
amazement, the turkey walked up to the head coach and demanded a tryout.
Everyone stared in silence as the turkey caught pass after pass and ran right
through the defensive line.
When the turkey returned to the sidelines, the
coach shouted, "You're terrific!!! Sign up for the season, and I'll
see to it that you get a huge bonus."
"Forget the bonus," the
turkey said, "All I want to know is, does the season go past Thanksgiving
Day?"
Good Sales Pitch
Despite his best sales pitch, a life-insurance salesman was unable to get
a couple to sign up for a policy.
"I certainly don't want to frighten you into a decision," he announced,
standing up to leave.
"Please sleep on it tonight, and if you wake up in the morning, let
me know what you think."
