AOL addiction poem

My computer broke down.
It crashed and burned!
And for my AOL, I really yearned! I tried to stay busy...
And keep it off my mind.
It was worse than cigarettes, at least butts I can find! So I went to Wal-Mart, and got on their pc.
The cashier in electronics was staring at me.
But I didn't care. I had to get on line! Check my mail, and see what buddies I can find.
I drew a crowd as I began to cry.
I couldn't find the password no matter how hard I tried! I need my AOL! I got to have my fix!
Go to my favorite places, check out some cool pics.
The cashier called Security! I heard her whisper low, We have ourselves a Psycho here and she has got to go!
Security rushed over. Not long did he stall.
Obviously he has never suffered from AOL withdrawal. He slapped cuffs on my wrists and threw me out the door!
Then he looked at me and said, Don't come round here no more!
I feel so embarrassed! I have sunk so low! To be kicked out of Wal-Mart... How low can I go?
So I'll try really hard now to rid myself of this affliction.
Get rid of these bad habits and my AOL addiction!

Consider that -

The chance of forgetting something is directly proportional to...to...uhh...
The chance of a piece of bread falling with the buttered side down is directly proportional to the cost of the carpet, or the cleanliness of the floor.
The chaos in the universe always increases.
The chief cause of problems is solutions.
The colder the X-ray table, the more of your body is required on it.
The crucial memorandum will be snared in the out-basket.
The deadline is one week after the original deadline, and you will still miss it.
The deficiency will never show itself during the test run.
The "think positive" leader tends to listen to his subordinate's premonitions - only during the postmortems. A bit like hindsight is always right - and you still get it wrong the next time.
The amount of flak received on any subject is inversely proportional to the subject's true value.
The average man's judgement is so poor, he runs a risk every time he uses it.
The bag that breaks is the one with the eggs.
The best laid plans of mice and men are all filed away somewhere.
The best laid plans of mice and men are usually equal.
The best photos are generally attempted through the lens cap.
The dictionary is the only place where success comes before work.
The difference between a stepping stone and a stumbling block can be when you see it.
The difference between art and science is that if something works in art, you don't have to explain why.
The difficulty with a research grant is that if you solve the problem, you're out of a job.
The best way to lie is to tell the truth, carefully edited truth.
The best way to make a fire with two sticks is to make sure one of them is a match.
The best way to realize your dreams is to wake up.
The bigger they are, the harder they hit.
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.
The easier it is to do, the harder it is to change.

The chance of a piece of bread falling with the buttered side down is directly proportional to the cost of the carpet, or the cleanliness of the floor.

Somewhat true. Actually, the primary factor in whether bread falls butter side down is the ratio between the table height and length of the bread.

If the table is very short, the bread would not have time to rotate past 90 degrees degrees and would only land butter side down if you got an unlucky bounce. Likewise, if the table were around 10 feet high, the bread would have time to rotate past 270 degrees and would only land butter side down if you got an unlucky bounce. Or, you could eat only exceptionally large pieces of bread that rotate slower or exceptionally small pieces of bread that rotate faster.

For most Western culture style tables, the bread will almost assuredly land butter side down unless you get a lucky bounce. The chances of getting a lucky bounce are inversely proportional to the quality of the landing site. If you cover the floor with the coarse, sharp edged gravel, you have a pretty good chance of getting a lucky bounce. Even on a smooth, flat floor, the chances of getting a lucky bounce increase with the amount of random debris laying on the floor. If you cover the floor with a nicely cushioned flat surface that can absorb the impact of the bread, you'd be extremely unlikely to get a lucky bounce.

The simplest solution, especially if the cleanliness of the floor rates high, is to eat off the floor. Then the chances of the bread landing butter side down are virtually nil.

Actually, I find a different phenomenem of dinner time physics more perplexing than buttered bread. The chances of squirting someone in the eye while biting into a tomato is directly proportional to the amount of time you spend facing that person. So...

Is it considered a sign of respect when you bite into a tomato and squirt your boss in the eye or is it an insult? In other words, should a knowledgeable person look at the least respected person at the table while biting into a tomato?

As a side issue, when respect for you has been shown at the dinner table, is the proper response to stab the person showing respect in the back of his hand with your dinner fork or have I been grieviously insulted?

I was wondering about that point based on what other college-aged males have posted in the past.

A knew lot of the attractive women, and quite a few used to complain about the guys who were constantly hitting on them. The women were hoping that the 'nicer' guys would approach them, but most of the 'nicer' guys were seemingly intimidated.

The skier's dictionary

Inertia: Tendency of a skier's body to resist changes in direction or speed due to the action of Newton's First Law of Motion. Goes along with these other physical laws:

Two objects of greatly different mass falling side by side will have the same rate of descent, but the lighter one will have larger hospital bills.

Matter can neither be created nor destroyed, but if it drops out of a parka pocket, don't expect to encounter it again in our universe.

When an irresistible force meets an immovable object, an unethical lawyer will immediately appear.

Prejump: Manuever in which an expert skier makes a controlled jump just ahead of a bump. Beginners can execute a controlled prefall just before losing their balance and, if they wish, can precede it with a prescream and a few pregroans.

Gloves: Designed to be tight enough around the wrist to restrict circulation, but not so closefitting as to allow any manual dexterity; they should also admit moisture from the outside without permitting any dampness within to escape.

Gravity: One of four fundamental forces in nature that affect skiers. The other three are the strong force, which makes bindings jam; the weak force, which makes ankles give way on turns; and electromagnetism, which produces dead batteries in expensive ski-resort parking lots. See Inertia.

Shin: The bruised area on the front of the leg that runs from the point where the ache from the wrenched knee ends to where the soreness from the strained ankle begins.

Ski! : A shout to alert people ahead that a loose ski is coming down the hill. Another warning skiers should be familiar with is Avalanche! which tells everyone that a hill is coming down the hill.

Skier: One who pays an arm and a leg for the opportunity to break them.

Stance: Your knees should be flexed, but shaking slightly; your arms straight and covered with a good layer of goose flesh; your hands forward, palms clammy, knuckles white and fingers icy, your eyes a little crossed and darting in all directions. Your lips should be quivering, and you should be mumbling, Why?

Next of kin

Dear Friend,

I am Mr.Paul Okoue, the personal financial consultant to Mr Gregory Barrow,a national of your country, who used to work with the Nigerian Petroleum Trust Fund,(PTF),as an expartriate staff,here in Nigeria. He was our valued Customer. On the 4th May 2002, my client, his wife And their only child were involved in the plane crash here in Nigeria with EAS Airlines (Executive Airline Services) flight,EAS 4226,Registration: 5N-ESF,with our then sports minister Mr Mark Ishaya Aku. Since then I have made several attempts to locate any of his extended relatives but this has also proved unsuccessful.After those several unsuccessful attempts to locate any member of his family, I decided to contact you on this subject matter so that I can present you as the bonafide next of kin to the said account.
NOTE:
Your business status does not matter in this transaction,What matters is your ability to assist in repartrating the fund left behind by my client before they get confisicated or declared unserviceable by the Finance Company where this huge sum is lodged. Particularly,the Pacific Finance and Investment Company where the deceased had a deposit whose total value including accrued interest is about US$12.5Million (Twelve Million Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars Only).As his finance consultant in the same company,I have been mandated to provide the next of kin or have the fund confisicated within few weeks.
Since I have no clue of any of his next of kin/relatives,and has tried
unsuccesfully to locate them for some months now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased as if it is an inheritance left behind by him for you as his next of kin so that the proceeds of this account valued at US$12.5Million(Twelve Million Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars Only) will be paid to you as an inheritance, and then you and I will share the fund after you receive it in your account. I have the ability to negotiate for the release of the Death Certificate of the deceased,which shall serve as one of the legal documents that can be used to back-up the
transaction.
If you can handle this transaction for our joint benefit, please get back to me on as soon as possible,so that I can give you more details on this matter.What is required now is to register/authenticate you as the bonafide next of kin to the fund.
All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal through.I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
We will discuss the sharing ratio when you respond.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Best Regards.
Mr.Paul Okoue


I have to wonder how many Nigerian ministers have been killed in plane crashes. There sure seems to be a lot plane crashes in Nigeria and neighboring countries.
