Good morning crew,

Just when I thought I finally had a weekend to myself it turns out that I have volunteered to take part in a demonstration for the martial arts school at a local shopping mall.

I found that out yesterday.

Not that it will put a huge damper on the weekend. The demo is only an hour, and I have been in enough demos to be able to participate without too much preparation. But this will be the first time I have ever done a demonstration in a shopping mall.

The excess of consumerism meets the minimalism of eastern martial arts. That should attract some interesting people.

I'm going to be just like Danny McBride in the movie The Foot Fist Way.

Laugh it up,

Joe

A help desk operator takes a call from a hysterical secretary. It seems she was playing on her boss's brand new business computer and she spilled sticky soda on the "keyboard."

The help desk operator figured, "What the hell. It's only a $10 keyboard" and told her to unplug it, rinse the keys under the tap and leave it somewhere to dry.

The next morning her boss rings the help desk demanding to speak to the manager. This guy really wants the help desk operator's job, he's that upset.

What he wants to know is... "What clown told my secretary to put $2,000 worth of laptop under a tap?"

At a posh Manhattan dinner party, a Latin American visitor was telling the guests about this home country and himself. As he concluded, he said, "And I have a charming and understanding wife but, alas, no children."

As his listeners appeared to be waiting for him to continue, he said, haltingly, "You see, my wife is unbearable."

Puzzled glances prompted him to try to clarify the matter: "What I mean is, my wife is inconceivable."

As his companions seemed amused, he floundered deeper into the intricacies of the English language, explaining triumphantly, "That is, my wife, she is impregnable!"
