Things You Didn't Know
That You Didn't Know

E-mail mix-up.

A couple from Minneapolis decided to go to Florida for a long weekend to thaw out during one particularly icy winter. They planned to stay at the very same hotel where they spent their honeymoon 20 years earlier.
Because they both had jobs they found it difficult coordinating their travel schedules. It was decided that the husband would fly to Florida on a Thursday, and his wife would follow him the next day.
Upon arriving as planned, the husband checked into the hotel. In his room there was a computer so he decided to send his wife an e-mail back in Minneapolis. However, he accidentally left out one letter in her address, and sent the e-mail, without realizing his error.
In Houston, a widow had just returned from her husband's funeral.  The dearly departed was a minister of many years who had been called home to glory following a heart attack. The widow checked her e-mail, expecting messages from relatives and friends. Upon reading the first message, she fainted. The widow's son rushed into the room, found his mother on the floor, and saw the computer screen which read: 
To: My Loving Wife
Subject: I've Arrived
Date: 18 December 2003
I know you are surprised to hear from me.  They have computers here now and you are allowed to send e-mails to your loved ones.  I've just arrived and have been checked in.  I see that everything has been prepared for your arrival tomorrow.  Looking forward to seeing you then!  Hope your journey is as uneventful as mine was.
P.S. Sure is hot down here!

Fool's Holiday
             
An atheist was quite incensed over the preparation for Easter and Passover holidays and decided to contact the local ACLU about the discrimination inflicted on atheists by the constant celebrations afforded to Christians and Jews with all their holidays while the Atheists had no special days for them to celebrate.
The ACLU jumped on the opportunity to once again pick up the cause of the anti-religious downtrodden and assigned their sharpest attorney to the case.  The case was brought up before a learned judge who after listening to the passionate presentation by the ACLU representative, promptly banged his gavel and said  "Case dismissed!"
The ACLU lawyer stood up and objected to the ruling and said "Your honor, how can you dismiss this case?  Surely the Christians have Christmas, Easter and many other observances.  And the Jews-why in addition to Passover they have Yom Kippur and Hanukkah ..... and yet my client and all other atheists have no such special day!"
The judge leaned back in his chair and simply said "Obviously your client is too confused to know about or for that matter even celebrate the atheists special day of observance ! "
The ACLU lawyer pompously said "We are aware of no such day for atheists.  Just when might that be?"
The judge said "April 1st"

Interesting.

The next time you hear a politician use the words "billion" casually, think about whether you want that politician spending your tax money. A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, but one advertising agency did a good job of putting that figure into perspective in one of its releases:
A billion seconds ago, it was 1959.
A billion minutes ago, Jesus was alive.
A billion hours ago, our ancestors were living in the Stone Age.
A billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and 20 minutes, at the rate Washington spends it.

Pin the tail on the donkey

The Democrats were complaining on how long the war in Iraq was taking but consider this:
It took less time to take Iraq than it took Janet Reno to take the Branch Davidian compound. That was a 51-day operation.
It took less time to find Saddam's sons in Iraq than it took Hillary Clinton to find the Rose Law Firm billing records.
It took less time for the 3rd Infantry Division and the Marines to destroy the Medina Republican Guard than it took Teddy Kennedy to call the police after his Oldsmobile sank at Chappaquiddick.
It took less time to take Iraq than it took to count the votes in Florida!
Man our military is GREAT!!

Weird - try it!

While sitting at your desk, make clockwise circles with your right foot.
While doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your right hand.
What direction is your foot going now?
