Some people try to turn back their odometers.

An old Jewish man reads about Einstein's theory of relativity
in the newspaper and asks his scientist grandson to explain it to him.
"Well, zayda, it's sort of like this. Einstein says that if
you're having your teeth drilled without Novocain, a minute seems like
an hour. But if you're sitting with a beautiful woman on your lap, an
hour seems like a minute."
The old man considers this profound bit of thinking for a
moment and says, "And from this he makes a living?"

May those that love us, love us;
and those that don't love us, May God turn their hearts;
and if He doesn't turn their hearts, may He turn their
ankles so we'll know them by their limping.

Real programmers don't bring brown-bag lunches. If the vending machine

An Irishman proposed to his girl
on St. Patrick's Day and gave her
a ring with a synthetic diamond.
On learning it wasn't real, she
protested vehemently about his
cheapness. "It was in honor of St.
Patrick's Day" he smiled.
"I gave you a sham rock."

* TFTD has been unable to determine
if the 's' is supposed to be on 'exception'.
**********************
One of tftd's loyal readers thought that a previous tftd could be
improved by changing the sentence structure. It made tftd remember the
above tftd and whether the word was really 'exception' or 'exceptions'.
