You know, if they invented staplers but they forgot to invent staples,
people might feel like they're wasting their money when they buy a new
stapler.

You know, if there were no vowels left in the world, the word "cheese"
would be spelled "chs".

I saw a firework tonight.

Now you're saying "What do you mean a firework... you mean fireworks!!!"

Nope.  A firework.

It's all I saw... I was at work, driving along, and I looked at the sky
near me... a firework.  It was pretty nice (though not any different from
any other firework I've ever seen... except that it seemed lonely).

Fire trucks are usually red.  But sometimes, they're yellow.


I hope this helps.

You know, cheeseburgers really wouldn't be the same if there were no 
cheese on them.

So I get to work yesterday, and I hear something fall on the floor.  I
look... What a coincidence!  There's a button that just fell on the ground,
and it looks like the one on my pant... hey!

Luckily I was wearing a belt.  So I dropped by my house, and my
grandmother just woke up...

Me: How quickly can you replace a button?

Grandma: Huh?

Me: Does it take a long time to replace a button?

Grandma: uh.. no.

Me: Here! (hand over the pants)

Grandma: I don't know where the needle and th..

Me: Don't worry!  I got this under control (ok, I didn't say I've got this
under control but I thought it would sound cool) I know where they are!

So my grandmother fixed up my pants.  She says the button won't fall off
again.  Cool!

My grandmother is the coolest grandmother, in alll the land.

In a previous article, ar058@FreeNet.Carleton.CA (Luci Dove) says:

Well, it's funny you should mention this.  I'm working on a technical
manual for telephones.

It starts like this:

There are lots of different kinds of cordless telephones.  The one you have
purchased has many useful features not available on all telephones.

Take, for example, the handset.  Some people, who have a bad memory, do
not have the handset anymore.  They stare at the base all day and hope the
handset comes back.

This is how to use your new phone.  Take the big plug thingy, and plug it
into the wall socket.  It's the power plug.  That means if you don't have
electricity, you've been shafted.  If you're not sure which socket thingy
is for the power, it's the one with lots of holes.

Then, take the phone plug and put it in the other socket thingy, the one
with only one hole, but not the cable outlet - you'll notice the cable
outlet has something plugged in already.  If it doesn't, why didn't you
get cable instead of an expensive phone like this one?  Then again, you're
not missing much by not having cable - I checked.


....and so on.  I'm hoping I'll be richy rich by teaching people how to use
different products in their house.
