**OT*** Joke for Truff <<Anyone who would like to tell me a joke or funny story would be most welcome at this point>> Remember me? Don't tell me your still at work, plan on going home tonight? Just think how bad things really would be if it wasn't for the net. Anyway's here's a joke for ya, hope it brightens things up for ya: A WW II American soldier had been on the front lines in Europe for three months, when he was finally given a week of R&R. He caught a supply boat to a supply base in the south of England, then caught a train to London. The train was extremely crowded and he could not find a seat. He was dead on his feet and walked the length of the train looking for any place to sit down. Finally he found a compartment with seats facing each other; there was room for two people on each seat. On one side sat only a proper looking, older British lady, with a small dog sitting in the empty seat beside her. > "Could I please sit in that seat" he asked. The lady was insulted; "you Americans are so rude" she said, "can't you see my dog is sitting there"? He walked through the train more and still could not find a seat. He found himself back at the same place. "Lady, I love dogs - have a couple at home - so I would be glad to hold your dog if I can sit down" he said. The lady replied "you Americans are not only rude you are arrogant" she said. He leaned against the wall for a time, but was so tired he finally said "lady, I've been on the front lines in Europe for three months with not a decent rest for all that time; could I please sit there and hold your dog?" The lady replied "you Americans are not only rude and arrogant, you are also obnoxious." With that comment, the soldier calmly stepped in, picked up the dog, threw it out the window, and sat down. The lady was speechless. An older, neatly dressed Englishman sitting across on the other seat spoke up. "Young man, I do not know if all you Americans fit the lady's description of you or not. But I do know that you Americans do a lot of things wrong. You drive on the wrong side of the road, you hold your fork with the wrong hand, and now you have just thrown the wrong bitch out of the window."

*OT joke to Trufflette* On a train headed south after the Civil War, there was a salesman who had been working hard for a couple weeks without any R&R. He saw a good looking southern belle sitting by herself and walked over to her and said, "Ma'am, I hope I this doesn't embarress you but I have been on the road for a long time without any companionship and I would be happy to give you a couple of dollars for some sexual favors." Upon hearing this a southern boy immediately jumped up and shot the salesman graveyard dead. The southern belle said, "I appreicate you taking up for my honor, but you didn't have to do that." The southern boy then replied, "Shucks ma'am if it was just yer honor, I might've just roughed him up a little but we sure as hell can't have these carpetbaggers coming down here and raising prices for everybody else." JW (just another southern boy)

>Anyone who would like to tell me a joke or funny story would be most welcome at this point.< OK Truff, here goes.... It seems that Q4 at Iomega was terrible so they needed to cut their headcount. Well, the manager of the QA group found out he had to lay-off one person from his group. He decided that he'd lay-off the person with the least seniority. Much to his chagrin, when he checked his personnel files he found that the most recent hire date was actually for two people, Jack and Jill. Since both Jack and Jill were very good workers he decided he'd leave it to chance and just lay-off the next one (Jack or Jill) that stopped for a drink at the water fountain outside his office. Jill soon walked up and took a drink. The manager called Jill into his office, asked her to close the door and sit down. The manager then said, "Jill, I need to tell you something that is rather difficult. I'm afraid that I either need to lay you or Jack off." Jill replied, " I wish you'd jack off because I've got a heck of a headache!" Hope I got the punctuation and quotes right.
