FIVE RULES TO REMEMBER IN

FIVE RULES TO REMEMBER IN LIFE

1. Money cannot buy happiness, but it's more comfortable to cry in a
Corvette than on a bicycle.

2. Forgive your enemy, but remember the asshole's name.

3. If you help someone when they're in trouble, they will remember you
when they're in trouble again.

4. Many people are alive only because it's illegal to shoot them.

5. Alcohol does not solve any problems, but then neither does milk.

Bonus:
Condoms don't guarantee safe sex.
A friend of mine was wearing one when he was shot by the woman's husband.

Speaking of which : has anyone seen the movie On The Beach ? Greg Peck, Ava Gardner, Fred Astaire, Anthony Perkins et al. End of the civilization, last bastion of mankind before the radioactive cloud hits ? If nothing else it proves that while Fred can sing and dance, he can't act.

There were some particular Aussie touches to the screenplay eg. if you take a suicide pill then wash it down with a nutritious glass of milk. Very Australian indeed and nice of the director to put that in.

Cheers, Mike.

Hi Everybody ! :-)

Nice to see you back, Bill ! ;-)

Yes, we do spinal shots DownUnda. Correction : Bundaberg Rum straight down the neck*. Rule #1 in surgery : 'there is no body cavity that cannot be reached with a 14 gauge needle and a good strong arm'. Now we are legally not allowed to flirt with nurses in Australia, due to a class action brought to court by all the other nurses who were not being flirted with ... :-)

Google tells me that Jager is : a German 70-proof digestif. As such it clearly comes under the title of a medicinal preparation, but it seems to have been mislabeled as a munition in some instances.

I'm thinking of instituting 'Werewolf Wednesdays' as a culling measure. Each Wednesday evening I'll let the packs run - with prepared lists in hand. I could follow up with 'Theropod Thursdays'** for any stragglers. I've just done a quick poll around the office this morning as to who would accept me as a benign dictator. Quite oddly, most said they'd have to think about it! :-)

Cheers, Mike.

* Oh, and for the patient too.

I have made this letter longer than usual because I lack the time to make it shorter ...

Hmm, it's been a long and productive day, but I am paying for it so dearly.

Note to self: (Long note):

Got your injection on Friday? Check
Lots of sleep on Saturday? Check
Get your doctor recommended massage on spine on Sunday? Check
Get your racks Sunday afternoon and ruin everything and can't hardly move now? Check

Huh?

I just couldn't help myself. I really need professional help. I get told by a friend of mine that she's cleaning out an old radio station that her father owned and would I like some stuff for equipment. So we go over to take a look and I now have qty of 5 7ft tall 19" equipment racks in my hallway. For free!

My back hurts like ^#^(!%$# but it was soooooo worth it. Sometimes all the planets line up and the universe smiles on you. It hurts so good.
