Good morning crew,

It seems the old adage about taking one step forward and two steps back is true. Since I have paid off the truck I have saved myself $1,200 in truck loan payments...and in the same time frame I have had $1,300 worth of repair work done.

I believe it is a conspiracy between the auto industry and the government to foment a communist agenda by constantly funneling wealth out of the pockets of American wage-earners and enslaving them to the state.

Sound improbable? Well, once you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. Right?

Laugh it up,

Joe

A woman visited a psychic of some local repute. In a dark and gloomy room, gazing at the Tarot cards laid out before her, the Tarot reader delivered the bad news: "There is no easy way to say this so I'll just be blunt: Prepare yourself to be a widow. Your husband will die a violent death this year."

Visibly shaken, the woman stared at the psychic's lined face, then at the single flickering candle, then down at her hands. She took a few deep breaths to compose herself. She simply had to know.

She met the Tarot reader's gaze, steadied her voice and asked, "Will I get away with it?"

In the office where I work, there is a constant battle between our technical-support director and customer-service personnel over the room temperature, which is usually too low.

The frustrated director, trying to get us to understand his position, announced one afternoon, "We need to keep the temperature below seventy-five degrees or the computers will overheat."

Thinking that this was just another excuse, one of my shivering colleagues retorted, "Yeah right. So how did they keep the computers from overheating before there was air conditioning?"
