The wonder of technology

"The Internet is an amazing communications tool that's bringing the whole world together. I mean, you sit down to sign on to America Online in your hometown, and it's just staggering to think that at the same moment, halfway around the world in China, someone you've never met is sitting at their computer, hearing the exact same busy signal that you're hearing."
- Dennis Miller

Gotta Love Little Boys

Two young boys walked into a pharmacy one day, picked out a box of Tampons and proceeded to the check-out counter. The man at the counter asked the older boy, "Son, How old are you?" "Eight", the boy replied. The man continued, "Do you know how these are used?" The boy replied, "Not exactly, but they aren't for me. They are for my brother. He's four. We saw on TV that if you use these you would be able to swim and ride a bike. He can't do either one"
