<p>Today, I got a call from the contractor who installed them. He was complaining that the work had been completed a whole year ago, and I still hadn&#8217;t paid for them.</p>
<p>Well, hellloooo,&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;..just because I&#8217;m blonde doesn&#8217;t mean that I am automatically stupid. So, I told him exactly what his fast talking sales guy had told me last year, that in ONE YEAR these windows would pay for themselves!</p>
<p>Helllooooo? It&#8217;s been a year! I told him. There was only silence at the other end of the line, so I finally just hung up</p>
<p>He never called back.</p>
<p>Guess I won that stupid argument.</p>
<p>I bet he felt like an idiot.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear Cassius,</p>
<p>Are you still working on the Y zero K problem? This change from BC to AD is giving us a lot of headaches and we haven&#8217;t much time left. I don&#8217;t know how people will cope with working the wrong way around. Having been working happily downwards forever, now we have to start thinking upwards. You would think that someone would have thought of it earlier and not left it to us to sort out at the last minute.</p>
<p>I spoke to Caesar the other evening. He was livid that Julius hadn&#8217;t done something about it when he was sorting out the calendar. He said he could see why Brutus turned nasty.<br />
We called in the consulting astrologers, but they simply said that continuing downwards using minus BC won&#8217;t work. As usual, the consultants charged a fortune for doing nothing useful.<br />
As for myself, I just can&#8217;t see the sand in an hourglass flowing upwards.</p>
<p>We have heard that there are 3 wise guys in the east working on the problem, but unfortunately they won&#8217;t arrive till it&#8217;s all over. Some say the world will cease to exist at the moment of transition. Anyway we are continuing to work on this blasted Y zero K problem and I will send you a parchment if anything further develops.</p>
<p>Plutonius.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A man walks into a bar with a paper bag.</p>
<p>He sits down and places the bag on the counter.</p>
<p>The bartender walks up and asks what&#8217;s in the bag.</p>
<p>The man reaches into the bag and pulls out a little man, about one foot high and sets him on the counter.</p>
<p>He reaches back into the bag and pulls out a small piano, setting it on the counter as well.</p>
<p>He reaches into the bag once again and pulls out a tiny piano bench, which he places in front of the piano.</p>
<p>The little man sits down at the piano, and starts playing a beautiful piece by Mozart!</p>
<p>&#8216;Where on earth did you get that?&#8217; says the bartender.</p>
<p>The man responds by reaching into the paper bag.</p>
<p>This time he pulls out a magic lamp. He hands it to the bartender and says: &#8216;Here. Rub it.&#8217;</p>
<p>So the bartender rubs the lamp, and suddenly there&#8217;s a gust of smoke and an old genie is standing before him. &#8216;I will grant you one wish. Just one wish&#8230;each person is only allowed one!&#8217;</p>
<p>The bartender gets real excited. Without hesitating he says, &#8216;I want a million bucks!&#8217;</p>
<p>A few moments later, a duck walks into the bar. It is soon followed by another duck, then another. Pretty soon, the entire bar is filled with ducks and they keep coming!</p>
<p>The bartender turns to the man and says, &#8216;Y&#8217;know, I think your genie&#8217;s a little deaf. I asked for a million bucks, not a million ducks.&#8217;</p>
<p>&#8216;No shit!!&#8217; says the man, &#8216;do you really think I asked for a 12-inch pianist?&#8217;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>All the organs of the body were having a meeting, trying to decide who was the  one in charge.</p>
<p>&#8216;I should be in charge,&#8217; said the brain , &#8216;Because I run  all the body&#8217;s systems, so without me nothing would happen.&#8217;</p>
<p>&#8216;I should be  in charge,&#8217; said the blood , &#8216;Because I circulate oxygen all over so without me  you&#8217;d all waste away.&#8217;</p>
<p>&#8216;I should be in charge,&#8217; said the stomach,&#8217;  Because I process food and give all of you energy.&#8217;</p>
<p>&#8216;I should be in  charge,&#8217; said the legs , &#8216;because I carry the body wherever it needs to  go.&#8217;</p>
<p>&#8216;I should be in charge,&#8217; said the eyes, &#8216;Because I allow the body to  see where it goes.&#8217;</p>
<p>&#8216;I should be in charge,&#8217; said the rectum, &#8216;Because  I&#8217;m responsible for waste removal.&#8217;</p>
<p>All the other body parts laughed at  the rectum and insulted him, so in a huff, he shut down tight. Within a few  days, the brain had a terrible headache, the stomach was bloated, the legs got  wobbly, the eyes got watery, and the blood was toxic. They all decided that the  rectum should be the boss.</p>
<p>The Moral of the story?  Even though the  others do all the work.</p>
<p>The asshole is usually in charge!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>SMART ARSED ANSWER 6</p>
<p>It was mealtime during a flight on a British Airways plane: &#8220;Would you likedinner?&#8221; the flight attendant asked the man seated in the front row.<br />
&#8220;What are my choices?&#8221; the man asked.<br />
&#8220;Yes or no,&#8221; she replied.</p>
<p>SMART ARSED ANSWER 5</p>
<p>A flight attendant was stationed at the departure gate to check tickets.<br />
As a man approached, she extended her hand for the ticket and he opened his trench coat and flashed her.<br />
Without blinking an eyelid she said, &#8220;Sir, need to see your ticket not your stub.&#8221;</p>
<p>SMART ARSED ANSWER 4</p>
<p>A lady was picking through the frozen turkeys at a branch of Sainsbury&#8217;s store but she couldn&#8217;t find one big enough for her family.<br />
She asked a passing assistant, &#8220;Do these turkeys get any bigger?&#8221; The assistant replied, &#8220;I&#8217;m afraid not, they&#8217;re dead.&#8221;</p>
<p>SMART ARSED ANSWER 3</p>
<p>The policeman got out of his car and the boy racer he stopped for speeding, rolled down his window.<br />
&#8220;I&#8217;ve been waiting for you all day,&#8221; the bobby said.<br />
The kid replied, &#8220;Yes, well I got here as fast as I could.&#8221;<br />
When the policeman finally stopped laughing, he sent the kid on his way without a ticket. </p>
<p>SMART ARSED ANSWER 2</p>
<p>A lorry driver was driving along on a country road. A sign came up that read &#8220;Low Bridge Ahead.&#8221;<br />
Before he realised it, the bridge was directly ahead and he got stuck under it. Cars are backed up for miles.<br />
Finally, a police car comes up.<br />
The policeman got out of his car and walked to the lorry&#8217;s cab and said to the driver, &#8220;Got stuck, eh?&#8221;<br />
The lorry driver said, &#8220;No, I was delivering this bridge and ran out of petrol!&#8221; </p>
<p>SMART ARSED ANSWER OF THE YEAR</p>
<p>A teacher at a polytechnic college reminded her pupils of tomorrow&#8217;s final exam.<br />
&#8220;Now listen to me, I won&#8217;t tolerate any excuses for you not being here tomorrow. I might consider a nuclear attack or a serious personal injury, illness, or a death in your immediate family, but that&#8217;s it, no other excuses whatsoever!&#8221;<br />
A smart-arsed chap at the back of the room raised his hand and asked:<br />
&#8220;What would happen if I came in tomorrow suffering from complete and utter sexual exhaustion?&#8221;<br />
The entire class was reduced to laughter and sniggering. When silence was restored, the teacher smiled knowingly at the student, shook her head and sweetly said, &#8220;Well, I suppose you&#8217;d have to write the exam with your other hand.&#8221; </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>KINDERGARTEN TEACHER: To get to the other side.</p>
<p>PLATO: For the greater good.</p>
<p>ARISTOTLE: It is the nature of chickens to cross roads.</p>
<p>KARL MARX: It was a historical inevitability.</p>
<p>TIMOTHY LEARY: Because that&#8217;s the only trip the establishment would let it take.</p>
<p>SADDAM HUSSEIN: This was an unprovoked act of rebellion and we were quite justified in dropping 50 tons of nerve gas on it.</p>
<p>RONALD REAGAN: I forget.</p>
<p>CAPTAIN JAMES T. KIRK: To boldly go where no chicken has gone before.<span id="more-8"></span></p>
<p>HIPPOCRATES: Because of an excess of phlegm in its pancreas.</p>
<p>ANDERSEN CONSULTING: Deregulation of the chicken&#8217;s side of the road was threatening its dominant market position. The chicken was faced with significant challenges to create and develop the competencies<br />
required for the newly competitive market. Andersen Consulting, in a partnering relationship with the client, helped the chicken by rethinking its physical distribution strategy and implementation processes. Using the Poultry Integration Model (PIM), Andersen helped the chicken use its skills, methodologies, knowledge, capital and experiences to align the chicken&#8217;s people, processes and technology in support of its overall strategy within a Program Management framework.<br />
Andersen Consulting convened a diverse cross-spectrum of road analysts and best chickens along with Anderson consultants with deep skills in the transportation industry to engage in a two-day itinerary of meetings in order to leverage their personal knowledge capital, both tacit and explicit, and to enable them to synergize with each other in order to achieve the implicit goals of delivering and successfully architecting and implementing an enterprise-wide value framework across the continuum of poultry cross-median processes. The meeting was held in a park-like setting, enabling and creating an impactful environment which was strategically based, industry focused, and built upon a consistent, clear, and unified market message and aligned with the chicken&#8217;s mission, vision, and core values. This was conducive towards the creation of a total business integration solution.<br />
Andersen Consulting helped the chicken change to become more successful.</p>
<p>MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.: I envision a world where all chickens will be free to cross roads without having their motives called into question.</p>
<p>MOSES: And God came down from the Heavens, and He said unto The chicken, &#8220;Thou shalt cross the road.&#8221; And the chicken crossed the road, and there was much rejoicing.</p>
<p>FOX MULDER: You saw it cross the road with your own eyes. How many more chickens have to cross the road before you believe it?</p>
<p>RICHARD M. NIXON: The chicken did not cross the road. I repeat, the chicken did NOT cross the road.</p>
<p>WILLIAM JEFFERSON CLINTON: I never helped the chicken cross the road.<br />
I did not have relations with that chicken. Now, leave me alone so I can resume serving the people of the United States!</p>
<p>MACHIAVELLI: The point is that the chicken crossed the road. Who cares why? The end of crossing the road justifies whatever Motive there was.</p>
<p>JERRY SEINFELD: Why does anyone cross a road? I mean, why doesn&#8217;t anyone ever think to ask, &#8220;What the heck was this chicken doing walking around all over the place, anyway?&#8221;</p>
<p>LOUIS FERRAKHAN: It was abducted by a UFO and told, upon arrival back on earth, to cross the road for the greater good of the urban man.</p>
<p>FREUD: The fact that you are at all concerned that the chicken crossed the road reveals your underlying sexual insecurity.</p>
<p>JIMI HENDRIX: &#8216;Skuze me, while I kiss th&#8217; chicken.</p>
<p>BILL GATES: I have just released the new Chicken Office 2000, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your checkbook.</p>
<p>OLIVER STONE: The question is not, &#8220;Why did the chicken cross the road?&#8221; Rather, it is, &#8220;Who was crossing the road at the same time, whom we overlooked in our haste to observe the chicken crossing?&#8221;</p>
<p>DARWIN: Chickens, over great periods of time, have been naturally selected in such a way that they are now genetically disposed to cross roads.</p>
<p>EINSTEIN: Whether the chicken crossed the road or the road moved beneath the chicken depends upon your frame of reference.</p>
<p>BUDDHA: Asking this question denies your own chicken nature.</p>
<p>HOMER SIMPSON: Whoo hooo! Fried chicken tonight!</p>
<p>RALPH WALDO EMERSON: The chicken did not cross the road it transcended it.</p>
<p>ERNEST HEMINGWAY: To die. In the rain.</p>
<p>COLONEL SANDERS: I missed one?</p>

<p>AMERICAN DEMOCRACY: The government promises to give you two cows if you vote for it. After the election, the president is impeached for speculating in cow futures. The press dubs the affair &#8220;Cowgate&#8221;.</p>
<p>BRITISH DEMOCRACY: You have two cows. You feed them sheep&#8217;s brains and they go mad. The government doesn&#8217;t do anything.</p>
<p>BUREAUCRACY: You have two cows. At first the government regulates what you can feed them and when you can milk them. Then it pays you not to milk them. After that it takes both, shoots one, milks the other and pours the milk down the drain. Then it requires you to fill out forms accounting for the missing cows.</p>
<p>ANARCHY: You have two cows. Either you sell the milk at a fair price or your neighbours try to kill you and take the cows.</p>
<p>CAPITALISM: You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull.</p>
<p>HONG KONG CAPITALISM: You have two cows. You sell three of them to your publicly-listed company, using letters of credit opened by your brother-in-law at the bank, then execute a debt/equity swap with associated general offer so that you get all four cows back, with a tax deduction for keeping five cows. The milk rights of six cows are transferred via a Panamanian intermediary to a Cayman Islands company secretly owned by the majority shareholder, who sells the rights to all seven cows&#8217; milk back to the listed company. The annual report says that the company owns eight cows, with an option on one more.<br />
Meanwhile, you kill the two cows because the fung shui is bad.</p>
<p>ENVIRONMENTALISM: You have two cows. The government bans you from milking or killing them.</p>
<p>FEMINISM: You have two cows. They get married and adopt a veal calf.</p>
<p>TOTALITARIANISM: You have two cows. The government takes them and denies they ever existed. Milk is banned.</p>
<p>POLITICAL CORRECTNESS: You are associated with (the concept of &#8220;ownership&#8221; is a symbol of the phallo-centric, war-mongering, intolerant past) two differently-aged (but no less valuable to society) bovines of non-specified gender.</p>
<p>COUNTER CULTURE: Wow, dude, there&#8217;s like&#8230; these two cows, man. You got to have some of this milk.</p>
<p>SURREALISM: You have two giraffes. The government requires you to take harmonica lessons.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A journalist had done a story on gender roles in Kuwait several years before the Gulf War, and she noted then that women customarily walked about ten feet behind their husbands. She returned to Kuwait recently and observed that the men now walk several yards behind their wives.<br />
She approached one of the women for an explanation.</p>
<p>&#8220;This is marvellous,&#8221; said the journalist. &#8220;What enabled women here to achieve this reversal of roles?&#8221;<br />
&#8220;Land mines&#8221;, Replied the Kuwaiti woman.</p>
