  2. heres another i flogged from billmallenson

    Every day, a male co-worker walks up very close to a lady standing at the

    coffee machine, inhales a big breath of air and tells her that her hair

    smells nice After a week of this, she can't stand it anymore, takes her

    complaint to a supervisor in the personnel department and states that she

    wants to write a sexual harassment grievance against him. The Human

    Resources supervisor is puzzled by this decision and asks, "What's sexually

    threatening about a co-worker telling you your hair smells nice?"

    The woman replies, "It's Keith, the midget."

  3. Oh, Canada

    Now that Vancouver has won the chance to host the 2010 winter Olympics, the following are some questions people all over the world over are asking.

    These questions (and answers) about Canada were actually posted on an international Tourism Website.

    Q: I have never seen it warm on Canadian TV, so how do the plants grow? (UK)

    A: We import all plants fully grown and then just sit around and watch them die.

    Q: Will I be able to see Polar Bears in the street? (USA)

    A: Depends how much you've been drinking.

    Q: I want to walk from Vancouver to Toronto - can I follow the railroad tracks? (Sweden)

    A: Sure, it's only four thousand miles, take lots of water.

    Q: Is it safe to run around in the bushes in Canada? (Sweden)

    A: So its true what they say about Swedes.

    Q: It is imperative that I find the names and addresses of places to contact for a stuffed Beaver. (Italy)

    A: Let's not touch this one.

    Q: Are there any ATMs (cash machines) in Canada? Can you send me a list of them in Toronto, Vancouver, Edmonton and Halifax? (UK)

    A: What, did your last slave die of?

    Q: Can you give me some information about hippo racing in Canada?(USA)

    A: A-fri-ca is the big triangle shaped continent south of Europe. Ca-na-da is that big country to your North... oh forget it. Sure the hippo racing is every Tuesday night in Calgary. Come naked.

    Q: Which direction is North in Canada? (USA)

    A: Face south and then turn 180 degrees. Contact us when you get here and we'll send the rest of the directions.

    Q: Can I bring cutlery into Canada? (UK)

    A: Why? Just use your fingers like we do.

    Q: Can you send me the Vienna Boys' Choir schedule? (USA)

    A: Aus-tri-a is that quaint little country bordering Ger-man-y, which is... oh forget it. Sure, the Vienna Boys Choir plays every Tuesday night in Calgary, straight after the hippo races. Come naked.

    Q: Do you have perfume in Canada? (Germany)

    A: No, WE don't stink.

    Q: Can you tell me the regions in British Columbia where the female population is smaller than the male population? (Italy)

    A: Yes, gay nightclubs.

    Q: Do you celebrate Thanksgiving in Canada? (USA)

    A: Only at Thanksgiving.

    Q: Are there supermarkets in Toronto and is milk available all year round? (Germany)

    A: No, we are a peaceful civilization of Vegan hunter/gatherers. Milk is illegal.

    Q: I have a question about a famous animal in Canada, but I forget it's name. It's a kind of big horse with horns. (USA)

    A: It's called a Moose. They are tall and very violent, eating the brains of anyone walking close to them. You can scare it by spraying yourself with human urine before you go out walking.

    Q: I was in Canada in 1969 on R+R, and I want to contact the girl I dated while I was staying in Surrey, BC. Can you help? (USA)

    A: Yes, and you will still have to pay her by the hour.

    Q: Will I be able to speak English most places I go? (USA)

    A: Yes, but you will have to learn it first.

  5. thanks for your encouragement

    blim

    some times i get these mental blocks

    when i think of some that is worring me

    and i unconsciously type with out thinking

    im a poor typer

    so i tend to type without thinking. instead of thinking then type

    until i got this compt

    i had never typed any thing in my life

    so i do have problems and tend to make mistakes.

    also i try to go to fast

    and make a lot of spelling mistakes

    and strangly i was a brilliant speller at school

    but that was with a pencil and pen

    this k-board is a different matter

    luckly the posters on this board

    are understanding

    and tend to let me ramble on

    and im gratefull to them

    i remember when i was at techtv

    some asked me if i was backward

    at first i was angry a human trait

    and my reply was

    kiss my just below and just above

    but i thought about it later and went back to the post and

    got on my knees so to speaks

    and said sorry.

  6. A man comes into the ER and yells, "My wife is going to have her

    baby in the cab!" I grabbed my stuff, rushed out to the cab,

    lifted the lady's dress, and began to take off her underwear.

    Suddenly, I noticed that there are several cabs and I was in the

    wrong one.

    ************

    At the beginning of my shift, I placed a stethoscope on an

    elderly and slightly deaf female patient's anterior chest wall.

    "Big breaths," I instructed. "Yes, they used to be," the patient

    said sadly.

    ************

    One day I had to be the bearer of bad news when I told a wife

    that her husband had died of a massive myocardial infarct. Not

    more than five minutes later, I heard her reporting to the rest

    of the family that he had died of a "massive internal fart."

    *************

    I was performing a complete physical, including the visual acuity

    test. I placed the patient twenty feet from the chart and began,

    Cover your right eye with your hand." He read the 20/20 line

    perfectly. "Now your left." Again, a flawless read. "Now both," I

    requested. There was silence. He couldn't even read the large E

    on the top line. I turned and discovered that he had done exactly

    what I had asked. He was standing there with both his eyes

    covered. I was laughing too hard to finish the exam.

    ***************

    During a patient's two week follow-up appointment with his

    cardiologist, he informed his doctor that he was having trouble

    with one of his medications. "Which one?", asked the doctor. "The

    patch. The nurse told me to put on a new one every six hours and

    now I'm running out of places to put it!" The doctor had him

    quickly undress and discovered what he hoped he wouldn't see; the

    man had over fifty patches on his body. Now the instructions

    include removal of the old patch before applying a new one. And

    you always wondered why instructions always seemed to state the

    obvious!

    **************

    While acquainting myself with a new elderly patient, I asked,

    "How long have you been bedridden?" After a look of complete

    confusion she answered, "Why, not for about twenty years, when my

    husband was alive.

    **************

    I was caring for a woman from Kentucky and asked, "So how's your

    breakfast this morning?" "It's very good, except for the Kentucky

    Jelly. I can't seem to get used to the taste," the patient

    replied. I then asked to see the jelly and the woman produced a

    foil packet labeled "KY Jelly."

    ****************

    A lady walked into a pharmacy and spoke to the pharmacist. She

    asked, "Do you have Viagra?" "Yes," he answered. She asked, "Does

    it work?" "Yes," he answered. "Can you get it over the counter?"

    she asked. "I can if I take two," he answered.

  7. ok im looking forward to getting ubuntu on my sys

    i like any linux oses but i found you have to be right on target

    especially with a dual boot with xp

    when i had mandrake windows used to block the mbr

    and i couldnt access the hdd that had mandrake

    but forme to have a sys i had to use xp until i was able to get help with linux

    now i have ubuntu i like the look of it

    ive seen it on a stand alone sys

    and i like the look of it

    i emailed the company for a cd and they sent me

    six of them to give away

    and naturally i gave one to my self .

    when reformatted

    i tried it on a spare drive

    and i liked it but couldnt get the modem configured

    but with

    iccaros's

    help. it looks as tho i may be able to get over that hurdle

    so ile probably be up all night loading ubuntu

    so wish me luck

    marty

  9. hi i have xp on a 10 geghdd as the primary master and ive just purchased a 20 geghdd which ive configured as the primary slave.

    for me to dual boot ubuntu and xp do i need to

    change those hdd settings or will it dual boot like it is.

    my other Q

    i just read a link iccaros

    posted on ubuntu dialup

    will my modem which is a  xh1145dse modem56k pci intel ham v2

    dial me up to the inernet or will i have to buy another modem

    my modem does not have windows drivers.my drivers are on a cd

    tho when i go to up dates it asks if i want to install the win driver.

    which ive resisted for some time now

    having a linux product in mind .

    when i bought the modem i asked that it be linux compatable

    and this is the one ive ended up with .

    would those instructions. on the link iccaros

    sent.be compatable to my dial up modem

            thanks

    marty

    your hard drives are fine. Ubuntu should recognize your modem. if not lets cross that bridge when you get there.

    as for loading windows drivers. thats fine.. it does not effect what Linux will do .

    rules for dual booting.

    load windows first.

    use a live CD like knoppix to create partitions on the second drive

    xhost +
    sudo su
    qtparted

    this will start a partitions tool "like" partition magic.

    hi ive just got back to your post

    and im about to try ubuntu on the the spare drive which i have as the slave

    do i need to change it to the master boot

    my other Q

    when install ubuntu

    will it give me the option to install it on the that spare drive .

    marty

    the reason i asked a friend of a friend of a friend

    was trying to prepare an older compt

    for his niece

    and he was having trouble setting up the ethernet connection

    i had a feeling it was internet connection

    but i didnt want to say that until i was sure

    are older compts set up for ehter connection .

    or are they mainly for dial up[ connection.

    im going to eamail your links so he can work it out for himself

    thanks you guys as always

  17. i use IE and i dont get ads

    tho at g4 the ads tend to slow my sys slightly

    i set my cookies to prompt and block.

    and i havent had ads for quite some time

    ive used firefox and tho it blocks ads

    there were other issues

    it was for everlasting changing my cookies settings.

    and my screen resizing

    i posted several times. but no one wanted to admit firefox hads its

    problems.

    all firefox users wanted to place it as the perfect browser.

    so i had no alternative but to uninstall it. i didnt know how to fix it

    when i uninstalled it.. it still left me with the problem of that resizing.

    now before any one wants to answer this post.

    ive had firefox on twice.

    and both times i had these two problems.pete tried to help.

    but hes used firefox since it came to being.so he knows how to fix problems.

    luckly i have screen adjustments on my monitor

    but i shouldnt have to keep readjusting my screen

    resizing.

    i posted at g4 to try and get it fixed

    and all i got was a backlash from firefox users

    that my post was anti firefox

    when all i wanted was some way to fix it.

    woudnt a response like that make you anti firefox,

    i also posted at worldstart

    but i didnt get one answer.

  18. hi team i thought this was clever and funny

    A young Newfoundlander moved to California and went to a big mega-department store looking for a job.

    The manager said, "Do you have any sales experience?"

    The kid said, "Yeah, I was a salesman back home in Newfoundland."

    Well, the boss liked the Newfoundland kid (of course) so he gave him the job.

    "You can start tomorrow. I'll come down after we close and see how you did."

    His first day on the job was rough, but he got through it.

    After the store was locked up, the boss said, "How many sales did you make today?"

    "One."

    "Just one? Our sales people average 20 to 30 sales a day. How much was the sale for?"

    "$101,237.64"

    "$101.237.64? What did you sell?"

    "I sold him a small fish hook. Then I sold him a medium fish hook. Then I sold him a larger fish hook. Then I sold him a new fishing rod. Then I asked him where he was going fishing and he said down the coast, so I told him he was going to need a boat, so we went down to the boat department and I sold him that twin engine Sea Ray.

    Then he said he didn't think his Honda Civic would pull it, so I took him down to the automotive department and sold him that 4 x 4 Suburban."

    "A guy came in here to buy a fish hook and you sold him a boat and truck?"

    "No, he came in here to buy a box of tampons for his wife and I said, 'Well, your weekend's shot -- you might as well go fishing.'
