Helpful Life Hints

1. If you're bidding on a job for UPS, don't send your bid by FedEx.

 

2. If your computer says, "Printer out of Paper," this problem cannot be

resolved by continuously clicking the "OK" button.

 

3. If you want your refrigerator's ice maker to work, you need to hook

it to a water source.  Air doesn't make good ice unless it is mixed with

water.

 

4. No matter how much data you add to your laptop, it will not get

heavier.

 

5. A bad place to store your emergency backup diskette is on the

underside of your desk drawer, secured by a large magnet.

 

6. It's okay to use the Polaroid Land Camera on a boat.

 

7. When the PC says, "Insert diskette #2," don't do it immediately.

Remove disk #1 first, even if you're sure you can make them both fit in

there.

 

8. When your PC says "You have mail," don't go to the company mail room

and look for a package.

 

9. The French version of Netscape Navigator doesn't translate English

language web pages into French.

 

10. If you're in the armed services, and it's April 1st, and you get an

e-mail message to call Colonel Sanders for new orders, don't.

 

11. If you go to the computer store to buy a mousepad, you don't have to

specify whether it's for a Windows or a Macintosh.

Bathroom Scale

The bathroom scale manufacturer was very proud of the new model being introduced at the trade fair. "Listen to these features: it's calibrated to one-one-hundredth of a pound; it can measure your height as well, in feet or meters; it gives you a readout via an LED or human-voice simulator; and that s not all..."
