Our Hard Drive Which art internal Volume C by name

In summary: A bit like hindsight is always right - and you still get it wrong the next time.The book you spent $20.95 for today will come out in paperback tomorrow.The business plan you prepare must be a lie; but it must be a detailed and precise lie rather than a vague and general lie.The business world worships mediocrity. Officially, we revere free enterprise, initiative, and individuality. Unofficially, we fear it.The early bird who catches the worm usually works for someone who comes in late and owns the worm farm.The early worm deserves the bird.

Male or Female?

This was sent to me by a family member.

You might not have known this, but a lot of non-living objects are actually either male or female. Here are some examples:


FREEZER BAGS: They are male, because they hold everything in, but you can see right through them.


PHOTOCOPIERS: These are female, because once turned off; it takes a while to warm them up again.

They are an effective reproductive device if the right buttons are pushed, but can also wreak havoc if you push the wrong Buttons.


TIRES: Tires are male, because they go bald easily and are often over inflated


HOT AIR BALLOONS: Also a male object, because to get them to go anywhere, you have to light a fire under their butt.


SPONGES: These are female, because they are soft, squeezable and retain water.


WEB PAGES: Female, because they're constantly being looked at and frequently getting hit on.


TRAINS: Definitely male, because they always use the same old lines for picking up people.


EGG TIMERS: Egg timers are female because, over time, all the weight shifts to the bottom.


HAMMERS: Male, because in the last 5000 years, they've hardly changed at all, and are occasionally handy to have around.


THE REMOTE CONTROL: Female. Ha! You probably thought it would be male, but consider this: It easily gives a man pleasure, he'd be lost without it, and while he doesn't always know which buttons to push, he just keeps trying

The sentence actually did something funny to my chest. Like, a strange feeling or something.

I spent 3 years in business school. I finally pulled my head out of my books and looked at my teachers and fellow students and realized it was all a popularity contest. Then, everything began to add-up: the student organizations that praised networking more than good grades, the teachers who would practically cheat for you by telling you exactly what would be on the test, and so many other instances like these. I always wrote them off as bad experiences, but the longer I stayed the more I realized the corrupt mentality of these people. "No wonder the corporate and financial world can't be trusted," I thought: for every genuine article, there are 100s of frauds.

That's when I decided I would change over to engineering, a career path that I was always interested in, but too scared (and too lazy) to undertake. I only wish I would have come to my senses sooner. Live and learn.

Current security levels:

The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent terrorist threats and have raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved." Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross." The English have not been "A Bit Cross" since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies all but ran out. Terrorists have been re-categorised from "Tiresome" to a "Bloody Nuisance." The last time the British issued a "Bloody Nuisance" warning level was during the great fire of 1666.

The Scots raised their threat level from "Pissed Off" to "Let's get the Bastards." They don't have any other levels. This is the reason they have been used on the front line in the British army for the last 300 years.

Australia, meanwhile, has raised its security level from "No worries" to "She'll be 'right, mate". Three more escalation levels remain, "Crikey!'; "I think we'll need to cancel the barbie this weekend"; and "The barbie is cancelled". So far no situation has ever warranted use of the final escalation level."

(Note: 'barbie' is 'Barbecue' - not the blond doll! :biggrin:)
