Tech Help

Compaq is considering changing the command "Press Any Key" to "Press Enter Key" because of the flood of calls asking where the Any Key is. *

AST technical support had a caller complaining that her mouse was hard to control with the dust cover on. The cover turned out to be the plastic bag the mouse was packaged in. *

Another AST customer was asked to send a copy of her defective diskettes. A few days later a letter arrived from the customer along with photocopies of the floppies. *

Another Dell customer called to say he couldn't get his computer to fax anything. After 40 minutes of troubleshooting, the technician discovered the man was trying to fax a piece of paper by holding it in front of the monitor screen and hitting the "send" key. *

These are from a book called Disorder in the American Courts, and are things people actually said in court, word for word, taken down and now published by court reporters that had the torment of staying calm while these exchanges were actually taking place.

ATTORNEY: What was the first thing your husband said to you that morning?

WITNESS: He said, 'Where am I, Cathy?'

ATTORNEY: And why did that upset you?

WITNESS: My name is Susan!

ATTORNEY: What gear were you in at the moment of the impact?

WITNESS: Gucci sweats and Reeboks.

ATTORNEY: This myasthenia gravis, does it affect your memory at all?

WITNESS: Yes.

ATTORNEY: And in what ways does it affect your memory?

WITNESS: I forget.

ATTORNEY: You forget? Can you give us an example of something you forgot?

Did you know that it is impossible to be a pessimist? No? Allow me to demonstrate.


Optimists can be described as "cup half full" people- those who look on the bright side of things. Pessimists, however, are described as "cup half empty" people.

Now, take a moment to thing about this. Optimists are "cup half full", in other words, they can be described as Cup = 1/2 x Full. Allow Full to equal one, and you see that the optimists' cup has half as much as it can hold.

Pessimists are "cup half empty": Cup = 1/2 x Empty. Now, empty is obviously equivalent to zero, correct? And any number times 0 is 0. Therefore, a pessimists outlook on life is Cup=0.
That's like saying that the "cup" (outlook on life) doesn't even exist! But all humans exist, or else they would not be alive. And in order to be the living, rational creatures that humans are, you must have some sort of outlook on life.

Therefore, it is mathematically impossible to be a pessimist!

Sorry.

Well, since this post would be otherwise boring, here are a few things for you to enjoy!

"Drawbacks" to Homeschooling

I found this in one of Mom's newsletters:

Drawbacks to Homeschooling
(by Bob Duplantier)

1. No snow days
2. You can't miss the bus
3. You can't be suspended and sent home
4. You can't hide the vegetables you don't like in a milk carton
5. Mom always sides with the teacher
6. Dad always sides with the principal
7. You can't intercept your report card and "fix" it before your parents see it
8. You can't transfer to another school
9. The nightmare of showing up at school in your pajamas is a daily reality
10. The good-looking boy/girl in the desk next to you is your brother/sister (gross!)

Taylor Swift and the Chipmunks!!! :) :) :) :)

This is a good song by Taylor Swift. It is about Romeo and Juliet and called "Love Story". I really like it :) It's one of the few country music songs I can stand and actually enjoy. The video is really good- all the gowns and costumes (except one) are very beautiful. That one is pretty, but not very modest. Enjoy the song!

This is the funny part of my post. You need to have watched "Chipmunks" (either the new movie or the old shows) to fully get it.
