"I'll tell ya, Jeb," Wilbur said to his friend, "the tractor business ain't doin' too well. I ain't sold one all month. "You think you've got problems?" Jeb replied. "The other day, I went out to milk Daisy, when she swatted me in the face with her tail, like she always does. So I took some twine and tied it to the rafters. When I sat down again, she kicked me like she always does. So I tied her leg to the side of the stall. When I started to sit down again, I could see her taking aim with her other leg, so I tied it to the other side of the stall. And I'll tell you what," he continued with a sigh, "if you can convince my wife I was gonna *milk* that cow, I'll buy a tractor from you!"

The king arranged a regal marriage for his daughter -- a bond that would unite two great kingdoms. Yet, because the young couple seemed so formal to each other, he posted a spy outside the royal wedding chamber and demanded a full account of the wedding night's progress. "It's hard to tell," said the spy the next morning. "When the prince entered the chamber, I heard the princess say, quite formally, 'I offer you my honor.' Then the prince said, with equal courtliness, 'I honor your offer.' And that's the way it went all night long -- honor, offer, honor, offer.

When Computers Crash HOLLYWOOD -- The FOX TV Network has announced a new series of "reality shows" to be aired over the summer. The series, "When Computers Crash", will consist of five hour-long shows documenting the aftermath of serious computer crashes, failures, and other problems. This show comes on the heels of other FOX reality shows such as "World's Funniest Antitrust Trial Bloopers", "When Stupid TV Network Executives Create Bad Show Ideas", and "When Lame Fortune Files Poke Fun At FOX Reality Shows"... To coincide with the series, FOX will sponsor a publicity gimmick called "Crash & Win!" Contest participants will download a free Windows 9x/NT program that keeps community track of the number of Blue Screens, Illegal Operations, or other fatal errors that force a reboot. When a crash occurs, the program will log it in an encrypted database, which will be periodically uploaded to the "FOX Crash & Win!" server. Prizes such as a "Deciphering Windows Error Messages for Dummies" book, a 1999 Ford "Gasguzzler" Sport Utility Vehicle, or a lifetime supply of stress relief medication will be awarded to participants based on the number of crashes they log.

One fall day, two men were out in the woods hunting. Feeling a sudden need to relieve himself, George went over to a nearby clump of bushes, unzipped his fly, and started in when a poisonous snake lunged out of the bushes and bit him on his penis. Hearing George's howl of pain and fright, his friend Fred came running up and told him to lie still while he used the radio to call a doctor. "There's only one way to save your friend's life," said the doctor gravely. "If you cut a shallow 'X' over the bite and then suck as much of the poison out as you can, he'll probably be okay, but otherwise there's not much hope." Hearing Fred's footsteps, George rose weakly up on one elbow and cried out, "Fred, what'd he say? What did the doctor say?" "George, old friend," said Fred sadly, "he said you're gonna die."

A man is driving down the road on his way to Salerno. By the roadside he sees a man hitchhiking and stops to pick him up. As the man gets into his car he suddenly pulls out a gun and makes the driver get out of the car. "All right, buddy," says the man, "I want to you jerk off." "What!?" says the man, disbelievingly. "Go ahead, do it!" says the hitchhiker. So the driver masturbates, and when he is through, says, "All right, I did what you wanted, can I go now?" "Nope," says the hijacker. "Do it again." "Again?" the driver exclaims. "I just did it." "Do it again." It takes a little longer this time, but he manages to come again. Panting, he turns to his tormenter and again asks if he can leave. "Yes," the man replies, "but only after you've done it one more time." The guy is really scared now; he's starting to sweat. It takes him twenty minutes, this time, but he finally comes a third time. "Listen, buddy, can I please leave now?" articles & white papers about linux in embedded applications ... "Yeah," says the man, lowering his gun.

Brief History Of Linux (#5) English Flame War The idea behind Slashdot-style discussions is not new; it dates back to London in 1699. A newspaper that regularly printed Letters To The Editor sparked a heated debate over the question, "When would the 18th Century actually begin, 1700 or 1701?" The controversy quickly became a matter of pride; learned aristocrats argued for the correct date, 1701, while others maintained that it was really 1700. Another sizable third of participants asked, "Who cares?" Ordinarily such a trivial matter would have died down, except that one 1700er, fed up with the snobbest 1701 rhetoric of the educated oci - products - development class, tracked down one letter-writer and hurled a flaming log into his manor house in spite. The resulting fire was quickly doused, but the practice known as the "flame war" had been born. More flames were exchanged between other 1700ers and 1701ers for several days, until the Monarch sent out royal troops to end the flamage.

All the villagers but the stupidest ran off to spread the wonderful news. The remaining villager asked, "What did the King say to you?" "What he said -- and quite distinctly, for everyone to hear -- was 'Get out of my way!'" The simpleton was overjoyed; he had heard words actually spoken by the King, and seen the very man they were spoken to.

FORTUNE DISCUSSES THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MEN AND WOMEN: #18 Sexual frequency: The average man would prefer having sex every evening, or every morning, or maybe both if he's under 25. The average woman would like to have sex non-stop all weekend, once a month. Shopping: It's no coincidence that L.L. Bean, Sears, and Roebuck were all men. Men don't like to shop. If a man can't foist the job off on some woman, he will grit his teeth and plan the outing as he would a jungle expedition. He wants a map of the store showing where he has to go to get item X in color Y in the correct size, which he doesn't know. Even then it takes him half an hour to get there from the entrance. When he's finally accomplished his mission, he'll discover that he forgot his checkbook. Women shop to relax.

After cocktails in the Oak Room, the graying millionaire took the blond, attractive, wholesome, winning young woman up to his suite. They chatted for a while, and then kissed on the couch. A little fondling, some feeling and petting ... to which the young lady lent herself shyly ... and then they were in the wide, cool bed, naked together. They chatted more, established a communion, a rapport the older man considered remarkably gratifying. The girl seemed sympatico, innocent, good. "Yes, that was it," he thought, "essentially good. Why, she could be my own daughter." He smiled into the young girl's deep blue eyes. "Tell me," he asked, his hand on her breast, "What's a nice girl like you doing in a hotel like this?" "Oh, about $2000 a week, with tips."
