A guy goes to the doctor and the doctor tells him, "I have some very bad news for you. I'm afraid that you're afflicted with a fatal and incurable disease."
So the guy asks, "Well isn't there ANYTHING I can do, doc?"
"Hmmm.... maybe you should go to a spa and start taking daily mud baths." The doctor tells the patient.
"Mud baths? Will that help me, doc?"
"Probably not....
But at least you'll get used to being covered in dirt!"

ONLY IN MERRY OLDE ENGLAND
---------------------------
A young woman who was several months pregnant boarded a bus. When she noticed a young man smiling at her she began feeling
humiliated on account of her condition. She changed her seat and he seemed more amused. She moved again and then on her fourth move he burst out laughing. She had him arrested. When the case came before the court, the young man was as asked why he acted in such a manner. His reply was: When the lady boarded the bus I couldn't help noticing she was pregnant. She sat under an advertisement which read "Coming Soon The Gold Dust Twins",
then she moved under one that read "Sloans Liniments remove Swelling". I was even more amused when she sat under a shaving advertisement which read "William Stick Did The Trick". Then I could not control myself any longer when on the fourth move she sat under an advertisement which read "Dunlop Rubber would have prevented this accident." He won the case.

Hmmm, I don't know why it's not working. maybe this will fix it? BTW, I know it said no javascript in the survival guide, but to be quite honest, I didn't know what that meant....
I don't know if that will fix it, but if you just copy the link into the addy box it seems to work for me.... Hmmm, now it's not working. I'm sorry guys. I don't know what's going on. Care to help me with this one?

**Edit** Muad'Dib and myself worked a little on the above link this weekend but don't seem to able to get it to work for everyone. When I click on it it automatically opens up Window Media Player and can be heard. Yet when Muad'Dib clicks on it he still gets sent to an error page about the link not being found. If anyone has any ideas please let us know. **Edit**
Muad'Dib,
I hate to do this but it specifically states in the 'Forum Survival Guide'
On the technical side... no javascript, please...
Please remove an add back as a url hot link or I will have no choice but to delete the post.

Thank you, and to reclarify a possible misunderstanding, the problem I had with it was that it was starting automatically when someone enter this page. If you could fix it so that a person would have to click on it to hear it then that would be OK.
Thanks again
Joel

THINGS THAT IT TOOK ME 50 YEARS TO LEARN
by DAVE BARRY
1. Never under any circumstances take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.
2. If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be "meetings".
3. There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."
4. People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them.
5. And when God, who created the entire universe with all of its glories, decides to deliver a message to humanity, He WILL NOT use, as His messenger, a person on cable TV with a bad hairstyle.
6. You should not confuse your career with your life.
7. No matter what happens ... somebody will find a way to take it too seriously.
8. When trouble arises & things look bad, there is always one individual who perceives a solution & is willing to take command. Very often, that person is crazy.
9. Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.
10. A person who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person.
11. Never lick a steak knife.
12. Take out the fortune before you eat the cookie.
13. The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside, we ALL believe that we are above average drivers.
14. You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests that you think she's pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment.

At our old building, we had a non-PBX line into the computer room. It was hooked to a Radio Shack environmental monitor, which would detect high temp, noise, etc. and call a list of phone numbers until someone responded. That part worked fine.
But we started getting wrong numbers -- we'd be in the room and hear the phone ring, and the robot would pick up and start talking, but nobody who worked there would own up to it. This happened several times per day -- too many even for telemarketing -- and we couldn't figure it out for the longest time.
Then one day I was driving home and heard an ad on the radio for a suicide hotline, in nearby Maryland -- at number (301) 605-0525. Our robot's line was (703) 605-0525!
So some poor depressed person would get it together enough to call the number, but without the 301, and would get a robot saying "This is telephone number 6 8 5 0 5 2 5, the time is xx:yy, temperature is OK, noise level is OK, alert 1 is OK, alert 2 is OK, listen to the surrounding area for 15 seconds", after which it would switch on a microphone so they could either uninterrupted hear machine room noise or machine room noise with people saying "Hey, the robot's talking" "Yeah, it does that" "Wow, weird" and the like.
I shudder to think of whether there were any lasting ill effects of this problem. The good news is that shortly after discovering it, we moved to a new building with a new number.

A man was driving home late one afternoon, and he was driving above the speed limit. Looking up he notices a police car with its red lights on in his rear view mirror. He thinks "I can outrun this guy," so he floors it and the race is on. The cars are racing down the highway -- 60, 70, 80, 90 miles an hour. Finally, as his speedometer passes 100, the guy figures "what the heck," and gives up. He pulls over to the curb.
The police officer gets out of his cruiser and approaches the car. He leans down and says "listen mister, I've had a really lousy day, and I just want to go home. Give me a
good excuse and I'll let you go." The man thinks for a moment and says..."Three weeks ago, my wife ran off with a police officer. When I saw your cruiser in my rear view mirror, I thought you were that officer and you were trying to give her back!

A man goes to the doctor. "Doc," he says pointing to different parts of his body, "when I touch my arm it hurts. When I touch my neck it hurts. And when I touch my stomach it hurts. Do I have some rare disease?"
"No," the doctor replied, "you have a broken finger."
