My brother-in-law once asked me, "What is the difference between fine dining and simply eating in a restaurant?"

I answered without much thought, "The portions are smaller!"

Appeal to snobbery or gullibility or mental lazyness: Special must be better, because of name and price differences.

I've seen successful fast food places outside of fancy places for those un-full by the smaller portions. Kind of a torture: extremely tasty but not large-enough to fill you.

Fluid Mechanics textbooks? I prefer solid ones.

His business is likewise uncertain. Schaffner is the German word for conductor (train).

No, the one who checks the tickets and communicates with the driver in stations.

No, the one who checks the tickets and communicates with the driver in stations.

But definitely not the one ( playing the character) conducting the USS Enterprise.
Edit: But then again there is a college called Berkeley college that has nothing to see with UC Berkeley and there is Stamford Connecticut: "No, with an m, not an n."

No, I was referring to a college called" Berkeley College" that has no affiliation with UC Berkeley.

If they ask :
What's your name?
Will Shaffner
You're the guy from Star Trek?
No, Shaffner, with an f. I'm from Stamford.
Ah, in California?
No, Stamford, with an m. In Connecticut.
I study at Berkeley College.
That's in California. Why did you say Connecticut?
No...

No. The watch gets detained after 30 days.

Windows is activated??

 

[fresh_42]

Windows is activated??

I don't get it. But do you know where the word comes from? It was the location where wind came into the house. People hadn't money for glass. Maybe MS shouldn't have named their OS by a thing which allowed intrusion by nature. Or was it on purpose?

 

[WWGD]
