The Taxidermist

An English taxidermist, is sweating his way through the Australian outback when he comes across a bar. He staggers in between the beer swilling locals and, in his well educated voice, asks the bartender, "May I have a gin and tonic, please, my good man."

One of the locals says to his mates, "Geez, cobbers, what kind of a fucking man's drink is that?"

Then, turning to the Englishman, "Hey! You! Yes you, you fucking Pom! Gin and fucking tonic are you some fucking kind of a poofter or something?"

"Ac...actually," the Englishman, terrified, replies, "I'm a taxidermist."

"Oh yeah? And what's a taxidermist, then?"

"I mount d..d..dead animals."

"It's alright, cobbers," says the local, turning to his mates, "he's one of us!"

Cheap 'Shot'

Jon, a somewhat simple minded young fella, decided to let himself be pampered and went into a brothel. Explaining his desire to the madam, she answered him, "Sure we can pamper you enough, but as to how much is dependent onto how much money you have with you."

Looking into his wallet Jon stated, "Well all I have is $10."

Laughing the madam exclaims, "Well for ten dollars you can go outside around back and play with yourself."

Looking a bit depressed, and obviously let down having expected more, Jon went outside. After a few minutes, he returned.

A bit irritated, the madam of the house asked him, "What are you doing back here?!"

Jon said, "I'm finished and would like to pay."

Kidney 'Distillery'

Two old Irishmen were holding up the bar at the local pub, reminiscing and drinking as they were wont to do, when one became quite melancholy and asked his friend, "Sean, when my time comes and I pass on, can ye do me a favour?"

His friend replies, "Liam, you've been my friend for nigh on thirty years...just ask and I'll do it for you. What would you like me to do?"

The first one said, "Sean, on me mantelpiece at home is an old, old bottle of fine Irish whiskey. When they bury me, would you be mindin' it if ye poured it over me grave?"

And the second one gravely replies, "Liam, you know I'll be honoured to do as you ask, but I'm wonderin', would you mind if I passed it through me kidneys first?"

Dick For Brains

In a village in South America there was a young man who was what some people call a Casanova, good with the ladies. He had all kinds of ladies. He liked them all, fat ones, short ones, skinny ones, didn't matter. The trouble was that he had a true love, a virgin that he was saving for his marriage. This innocent virgin, her name was RAZ, did not know anything about sex. Of course our Tiger of the Village wanted to keep things that way. Well, finally they were married and on their wedding night, RAZ was very impressed with sex. She told her new husband that she did not know a man was built that way. What a wonderful thing men had to please women. Our Tiger did not want her to think that all men were the same, so he told her, "I tell you something, Honey, I am the only man in the world with such a thing." So...she believed him.

The "Tiger" of the village was a sheep herder and had to go to the hills for weeks at a time. He had been gone for a couple of weeks, when he came back he began to look for his new bride. When he got to their hut she wasn't there. He then went down through the village looking for her.

"RAZ, RAZ, where are you?"

Finally he meets up with her on the street. RAZ appears to be very angry and frustrated. "You son-a-bitch, bastard, cabron, desgrasiado, no good for nothing" and begins to hit and fight with him.

"Hey whoa, what's the matter baby, what did I do? I didn't do nothing why you mad at me?" our tiger asks.

RAZ says, "Yeah, you know Sancho, the lazy one from across the street? Well he has "one" also and she points to his genitals.

Our hero thinks about it, she must have seen this guy taking a leak, shit I can fix this. "Hey Honey, I tell you something, you know what? Sancho he is my best friend, I used to have two of them and since Sancho is my friend, I give him one", he is all smiles and goes over to hug RAZ.

RAZ is now angrier and begins to clobber the shit out of him. "You dumb ass, stupido, ignorante," she yells at him.....

"YOU GAVE HIM TDE BEST ONE!"

Tooling Around

The judge asked the defendant to please stand, "You are charged with murdering a school teacher with a chain saw."

From out in the gallery, a man shouts, "Lying bastard!"

"Silence in the court!" the judge says to the man who shouted. He turns to the defendant and says, "you are also charged with killing a paperboy with a shovel."

"Damn tightwad," the same man in the gallery blurted out.

"I said QUIET!" yelled the judge. To the defendant, he continued, "You are also charged with killing a mailman with an electric drill."

"You jackass!" the man from the gallery yelled.

The judge thundered at the man in the galley; "If you don't tell me right now the reasons for your outbursts I'll hold you in contempt!"

The man answered back, "I've lived beside that man for ten years now. Do you think he ever had a tool when I needed to borrow one?"

Hospital Admissions

  1. A 28-year old male was brought into the ER after an attempted suicide. The man had swallowed several nitro-glycerine pills and a fifth of vodka. When asked about the bruises about his head and chest he said that they were from him ramming himself into the wall in an attempt to make the nitro-glycerine explode.

  2. A woman with shortness on breath and who weighted approximately 500 lbs was dragged into the ER on a tarp by six firemen. While trying to undress the lady, an asthma inhaler fell out of one of the folds under her arm. After an X-ray showed a round mass on the left side of her chest her massive left breast was lifted to find a shiny new dime. And last, but not least, during a pelvic exam a TV remote control was discovered in one of the folds of her crotch. She became known as "The Human Couch".

  3. The most nonemergent ER visit: A male adolescent came in at 2 a.m. with a complaint of belly button lint.

  4. A 92-year old woman had a full cardiac arrest at home and was rushed to the hospital. After 30 minutes of unsuccessful resuscitation attempts the old lady was pronounced dead. The doctor went to tell the lady's 78-year old daughter that her mother didn't make it. "Didn't make it? Where could they be? She left in the ambulance forty-five minutes ago.

  5. A 15-year old boy was laying on a stretcher with his mother sitting next to him. The boy was coming down from "crank" that he had injected into his veins with needles he had been sharing with his friends. Concerned about this the doctor asked the boy if there was anything he might have been doing that put him at risk for AIDS. The boy thought for a while then said questioningly "You mean like having sex with our dog?"

  6. A 19-year old female was asked why she was in the ER. She said that she and her boyfriend were having sex and the condom came off and she wasn't able to retrieve it with her fingers. She went to the bathroom and "gagged myself to vomit but couldn't vomit it up either."

Joe Rabbit

A rabbit one day managed to break free from the laboratory where he had been born and brought up. As he scurried away from the fencing of the compound, he felt grass under his little feet and saw the dawn breaking for the first time in his life. "Wow, this is great," he thought. It wasn't long before he came to a hedge and, after squeezing under it he saw a wonderful sight lots of other bunny rabbits, all free and nibbling at the lush grass.

"Hey," he called. "I'm a rabbit from the laboratory and I've just escaped. Are you wild rabbits?"

"Yes. Come and join us," they cried.

Our friend hopped over to them and started eating the grass. It tasted so good. "What else do you wild rabbits do?" he asked.

"Well," one of them said. "You see that field there? It's got carrots growing in it. We dig them up and eat them."

This, he couldn't resist and he spent the next hour eating the most succulent carrots. They were wonderful.

Later, he asked them again, "What else do you do?"

"You see that field there? It's got lettuce growing in it. We eat them as well."

The lettuce tasted just as good and he returned a while later completely full . "Is there anything else you guys do?" he asked.

One of the other rabbits came a bit closer to him and spoke softly. "There's one other thing you must try. You see those rabbits there," he said, pointing to the far corner of the field. "They're girls. We shag them. Go and try it."

Well, our friend spent the rest of the morning screwing his little heart out until, completely knackered, he staggered back over to the guys.

"That was fantastic," he panted.

"So are you going to live with us then?" one of them asked.

"I'm sorry, I had a great time but I can't."

The wild rabbits all stared at him, a bit surprised. "Why? We thought you liked it here."

"I do," our friend replied. "But I must get back to the laboratory. I'm dying for a cigarette."

The True Story Of Robin Hood

You've heard the tale of Robin Hood

And how he did the poor folk good
There is more to this famous story
Of Sherwood's famous pride and glory

At night when all the robbing was done

The merry men would have some fun
In fact it would be fair to say
That those merry men were rather gay

As Little John starts to unwind

Robin takes him from behind
As they frolic in the grass
Robin rams him one up the arse

One night as they were all at play

A gorgeous maiden came their way
She sauntered up to Friar Tuck
And said "Hi I'm Marion, wanna fuck?'

Friar couldn't believe his ears

"She's offering sex to all us queers"
While recovering from the shock
Robin presented her with his cock

Marion's clothes were off in a flash

The merry men all had a bash
For Marion this was sheer bliss
As they filled every orifice

When all was done, she gave a whine

"Thank you all for a lovely time
But for your pleasure you must pay
Cos I've got the pox, now have a nice day"

"Now listen here" said Friar Tuck

"We don't really give a fuck
The laughs on you, you silly cow
We've all got AIDS, so who's fucked now"

Rubbing It In

This married man goes to confessional and he tells the priest, "I had an affair with a woman... almost." The priest says, "What do you mean almost?"

The man says, "Well, we got undressed and rubbed together but then I stopped." The priest replies, "Rubbing together is the same as putting it in. You're not to go near that woman again, now say five Hail Mary's and put $50 in the poor box."

The man leaves confessional, goes over and says his prayers, then walks over to the poor box. He pauses for a moment and then starts to leave.

The priest, who was watching him, quickly runs over to him and says, "I saw that, you didn't put any money in the poor box!"

The man replied, "Well Father, I rubbed up against it and you said it was the same as putting it in!"

Disarming Situation

A lawyer defending a man accused of burglary tried this creative defence: "My client merely inserted his arm into the window and removed a few trifling articles. His arm is not himself, and I fail to see how you can punish the whole individual for an offence committed by his limb."

Well put," the judge replied. "Using your logic, I sentence the defendant's arm to one year's imprisonment. He can accompany it or not, as he chooses."

The defendant smiled. With his lawyer's assistance he detached his artificial limb, laid it on the bench, and walked out.

If Dr. Seuss Wrote For Star Trek

Picard:

Sigma Indri, that's the star,
So, Data, please, how far? How far?

Data:

Our ship can get there very fast
But still the trip will last and last
We'll have two days til we arrive
But can the Indrans there survive?

Picard:

LaForge, please give us factor nine.

LaForge:

But, Sir, the engines are offline!

Picard:

Offline! But why? I want to go!
Please make it so, please make it so!

Riker:

But Sir, if Geordi says we can't,
We can't, we mustn't, and we shan't,
The danger here is far too great!

Picard:

But surely we must not be late!

Troi:

I'm sensing anger and great ire.

Computer:

Alert! Alert! The ship's on fire!

Picard:

The ship's on fire? How could this be?
Who lit the fire?

Riker:

Not me.

Worf:

Not me.

Picard:

Computer, how long till we die?

Computer:

Eight minutes left to say goodbye.

Data:

May I suggest a course to take?
We could, I think, quite safely make
Extinguishers from tractor beams
And stop the fire, or so it seems...

Geordi:

Hurray! Hurray! You've saved the day!
Again I say, Hurray! Hurray!

Picard:

Mr. Data, thank you much.
You've saved our lives, our ship, and such.

Troi:

We still must save the Indran planet --

Data:

Which (by the way) is made of granite...

Picard:

Enough, you android. Please desist.
We understand -- we get your gist.
But can we get our ship to go?
Please, make it so, PLEASE make it so.

Geordi:

There's sabotage among the wires
And that's what started all the fires.

Riker:

We have a saboteur? Oh, no!
We need to go! We need to go!

Troi:

We must seek out the traitor spy
And lock him up and ask him why?

Worf:

Ask him why? How sentimental.
I say give him problems dental.

Troi:

Are any Romulan ships around?
Have scanners said that they've been found?
Or is it Borg or some new threat
We haven't even heard of yet?
I sense no malice in this crew.
Now what are we supposed to do?

Crusher:

Captain, please, the Indrans need us.
They cry out, "Help us, clothe us, feed us!"
I can't just sit and let them die!
A doctor MUST attempt -- MUST try!

Picard

Doctor, please, we'll get there soon.

Crusher:

They may be dead by Tuesday noon.

*COMMERCIAL BREAK, COMMERCIAL BREAK

HOW LONG WILL TDESE DUMB ADS TAKE?*

Worf:

The saboteur is in the brig.
He's very strong and very big.
I had my phaser set on stun --
A zzzip! A zzzap! Another one!
He would not budge, he would not fall,
He would not stun, no, not at all!
He changed into a stranger form
All soft and purple, round and warm.

Picard:

Did you see this, Mr. Worf?
Did you see this creature morph?

Worf:

I did and then I beat him fairly.
Hit him on the jaw -- quite squarely.

Riker:

My commendations, Klingon friend!
Our troubles now are at an end!

Crusher:

Now let's get our ship to fly
And orbit yonder Indran sky!

Picard:

LaForge, please tell me we can go?

Geordi:

Yes, sir, we can.

Picard:

Then make it so!

Safe Sex

An eighty-year-old man was having an annual physical. As the doctor was listening to his heart with the stethoscope, he began muttering, "Oh oh!"

The man asked the doctor what the problem was.

"Well," said the doctor, "you have a serious heart murmur. Do you smoke?"

"No", replied the man.

"Do you drink in excess?"

"No." replied the man.

"Do you have a sex life?"

"Yes, I do!"

"Well," said the doctor, "I'm afraid with this heart murmur, you'll have to give up half your sex life ".

Looking perplexed, the old man said, "Which half... the LOOKING or the TDINKING?"

Sick Sex

Mr. Wojohowitz had been retired for a year when his wife of fifty years suggested one day, "Why don't we take a cruise for a week and make wild passionate love like we did when we were young?"

He thought it over and agreed. He put on his hat and coat and went down to the corner drug store. He stepped up to the counter and asked for a bottle of seasick pills and a box of condoms.

Upon returning home his wife greeted him at the door saying, "You know dear, I've been thinking it over and I see no reason why we couldn't manage a month long cruise so we could relax and make wild passionate love like we did when we were young."

He smiled, turned around and went back to the pharmacy. He stepped up and ordered 12 bottles of seasick pills and a dozen boxes of condoms.

Upon returning back home his wife met him on the porch with a big smile on her face.

"Max, I have a marvellous idea. You know, now that our children are all on their own, there's nothing to stop us from cruising around the world."

"I'll be right back," he said.

Back to the drug store he went. When he approached the pharmacy counter the druggist looked up with a puzzled grin. Mr. Wojohowitz sheepishly ordered 297 bottles of seasick pills and the same number of boxes of condoms.

The startled pharmacist busied himself filling the order then passed the wrapped package across the counter saying, "You know, Mr. Wojohowitz, you've been doing business with me for over thirty years. I certainly don't mean to pry, but if it makes you that sick, WHY DO YOU DO IT!?"

Language Boo Boo

Cracking an international market is a goal of most growing corporations. It shouldn't be that hard, yet even the big multi-nationals run into trouble because of language and cultural differences. For example...…

  1. Scandinavian vacuum manufacturer Electrolux used the following in an American ad campaign: "Nothing sucks like an Electrolux."

  2. The name Coca-Cola in China was first rendered as Ke-kou-ke-la. Unfortunately, the Coke company did not discover until after thousands of signs had been printed that the phrase means "bite the wax tadpole" or "female horse stuffed with wax," depending on the dialect. Coke then researched 40,000 Chinese characters and found a close phonetic equivalent, "ko-kou-ko-le," which can be loosely translated as "happiness in the mouth."

  3. In Taiwan, the translation of the Pepsi slogan "Come alive with the Pepsi Generation" came out as "Pepsi will bring your ancestors back from the dead."

  4. Also in Chinese, the Kentucky Fried Chicken slogan "finger-lickin' good" came out as "eat your fingers off."

  5. The American slogan for Salem cigarettes, "Salem - Feeling Free," got translated in the Japanese market into "When smoking Salem, you feel so refreshed that your mind seems to be free and empty."

  6. When General Motors introduced the Chevy Nova in South America, it was apparently unaware that "no va" means "it won't go." After the company figured out why it wasn't selling any cars, it renamed the car "Caribe" in its Spanish markets.

  7. When Parker Pen marketed a ballpoint pen in Mexico, its ads were supposed to say "It won't leak in your pocket and embarrass you." However, the company mistakenly thought the Spanish word "embarazar" meant embarrass. Instead, the ads said that "It won't leak in your pocket and make you pregnant."

  8. An American T-shirt maker in Miami printed shirts for the Spanish market which promoted the Pope's visit. Instead of the desired "I Saw the Pope" in Spanish, the shirts proclaimed "I Saw the Potato."

  9. Chicken-man Frank Perdue's slogan, "It takes a tough man to make a tender chicken," got terribly mangled in another Spanish translation. A photo of Perdue with one of his birds appeared on billboards all over Mexico with a caption that explained "It takes a hard man to make a chicken aroused."

  10. In Italy, a campaign for Schweppes Tonic Water translated the name into Schweppes Toilet Water.

  11. Japan's second-largest tourist agency was mystified when it entered English-speaking markets and began receiving requests for unusual sex tours. Upon finding out why, the owners of Kinki Nippon Tourist Company changed its name.

Criminal Stupidity

  1. A woman was reporting her car as stolen, and mentioned that there was a car phone in it. The policeman taking the report called the phone and told the guy that answered that he had read the ad in the newspaper and wanted to buy the car. They arranged to meet, and the thief was arrested.

  2. David Posman, 33, was arrested recently in Providence, R.I, after allegedly knocking out an armoured car driver and stealing the closest four bags of money. It turned out they contained $800 in PENNIES, weighed 30 pounds each, and slowed him to a stagger during his getaway so that police officers easily jumped him from behind.

  3. Clever drug traffickers used a propane tanker truck entering El Paso from Mexico. They rigged it so propane gas would be released from all of its valves while the truck concealed 6,240 pounds of marijuana. They were clever, but not bright. They misspelled the name of the gas company on the side of the truck.

  4. Oklahoma City - Dennis Newton was on trial for the armed robbery of a convenience store in a district court when he fired his lawyer. Assistant district attorney Larry Jones said Newton, 47, was doing a fair job of defending himself until the store manager testified that Newton was the robber. Newton jumped up, accused the woman of lying and then said, "I should of blown your [expletive] head off." The defendant paused, then quickly added, "-if I'd been the one that was there." The jury took 20 minutes to convict Newton and recommended a 30-year sentence.

  5. R.C. Gaitlin, 21, walked up to two patrol officers who were showing their squad car computer equipment to children in a Detroit neighbourhood. When he asked how the system worked, the officers asked him for a piece of identification. Gaitlin gave them his driver's license, they entered it into the computer, and moments later they arrested Gaitlin because information on the screen showed that Gaitlin was wanted for a two-year-old armed robbery in St. Louis, Missouri.

Beer - The True Story

A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo, and when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole keeps improving by the regular culling of the weakest members.

In much the same way, the human brain can operate only as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, we all know, kills off brain cells, but naturally it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker cells, constantly making the brain a faster and more efficient machine.

The result of this in-depth epidemiological study verifies and validates the causal link between all-weekend parties and engineering performance. It also explains why, after a few short years of leaving university and getting married, most engineers cannot keep up with the performance of the new graduates. Only those few that stick to the strict regimen of voracious alcoholic consumption can maintain the intellectual levels that they achieved during their university years.

So, this is a call to arms. As our country is losing its technological edge we should not shudder in our homes. Get back into the bars! Quaff that beer! Your company and country need you to be at your peak, and you shouldn't deny yourself the career that you could have.

Be all that you can be.

The Gene Pool Needs Chlorine

IN TDE BAG

A "tourist," supposedly on a golf holiday, stood in line at the customs counter. While making idle chatter, the customs official thought it odd that the golfer didn't know what a handicap was. The officer then asked the tourist to demonstrate his swing. He did - backwards. A substantial amount of narcotics were found in the golf bag.

MADE FOR TV

Guns For Hire, an Arizona company specialising in staged gunfights for Western movies, got a call from a 47-year-old woman who wanted to have her husband shot. She was sentenced to four years in jail.

DO YOU ACCEPT CREDIT CARDS?

A Texan convicted of robbery worked out a deal to pay $9600 in damages rather than serve a two-year prison sentence. For payment, he provided the court a forged check. He got his prison term back, plus eight more years.

YOU MEAN ME?

A pair of Michigan robbers entered a record shop nervously waving revolvers. The first one shouted, "Nobody move!" When his partner moved, the startled first bandit shot him.

DEADHEADS

A man in Orange County Municipal Court had been ticketed for driving alone in the carpool lane. He claimed that the four frozen cadavers in the mortuary van he was driving should be counted. The judged ruled that passengers must be alive to qualify.

TDIS WOULD BE ME

The judge called the case of People vs. Steven Lewon Crook. The bailiff opened the door to the holding cell and called, "Crook, come forward." Five of the prisoners entered the courtroom.

LEARN YOUR LESSON

When asked for her occupation, a woman charged with a traffic violation said she was a schoolteacher. The judge rose from the bench. "Madam, I have waited years for a schoolteacher to appear before this court," he smiled with delight. "Now sit down at that table and write 'I will not pass through a red light' five hundred times."

AHH, TDAT'S BETTER!

A judge in Louisville decided a jury went "a little bit too far" in recommending a sentence of 5,005 years for a man who was convicted of five robberies and a kidnapping. The judge reduced the sentence to 1,001 years.

Out Of The Crate

A man is going to work one day and accidentally slams his penis in the car door.

He goes to the doctor, and the doctor says, "We're going to have to put a splint on that." The guy says, "No way Doc, I'm getting married in a week." The Doc replies, "Well if we don't, it's going to be bent for the rest of your life."

Finally the guy agrees, and the doctor gets out some tongue depressors and some tape and fixes him up.

(It's a week later, and he's on his honeymoon)

His new wife is doing a slow, seductive striptease in front of him. She takes off her bra and says, "See these? They've never been touched by a man before." She then takes off her panties and says, "See this? It's never been seen by a man before."

The husband then whips off his shorts and says, "See this? It's not even out of the crate yet!"

Timing...

A policeman was patrolling near midnight at a local parking spot overlooking a golf course. He drove by a car and saw a couple inside with the dome light on. Inside there was a young man in the driver's seat reading a computer magazine and a young lady in the back seat calmly knitting.

He stopped to investigate.

He walked up to the driver's window and knocked. The young man looked up, obligingly cranked the window down, and said, "Yes, Officer?"

"What are you doing?" the policeman asked.

"What does it look like?" answered the young man. "I'm reading this magazine."

Pointing towards the young lady in the back seat, the officer then asked, "And what is she doing?"

The young man looked over his shoulder and replied, "I think she's knitting a sweater."

Confused, the officer asked, "How old are you, young man?"

"I'm nineteen," he replied.

"And how old is she?" asked the officer.

The young man looked at his watch and said, "Well, in about twelve minutes she'll be eighteen."

BMT - The True Story...

BMTC 1, Nee Soon Camp, January. Four A.M. Thick Haze.

PC bellows "Wake up! Wake up! Helmet, SBO only, fall in outside, NOW! Stand closer, closer, SQUEEZE!

The bunks quickly empty and the recruits fall in and cough at attention.

The PC yells "OPEN UP!"

The recruits separate a bit. The PC approaches, carrying a stick. With the stick, he swats one of the recruits across the chest.

"Did that hurt, Recruit?" the PC demands.

"No, SIR!" the recruit shouts.

"Why not?" barks the PC.

"Because I'm a soldier, SIR!"

The Captain nods, and moves on down the front rank a bit. He whacks another recruit across the butt.

"Did that hurt, Recruit?"

"No, SIR!"

"Why not?"

"Because I'm a soldier, SIR!"

Satisfied, the PC continues on down the rank. He notices that one of the recruits is sporting a huge erection, and brings his stick down sharply on the proffered target.

"Did that hurt, Recruit?"

"No, SIR!"

"Why not?"

"Because it belongs to the guy behind me, SIR!"

Papal Proof

Every year, just before Easter, the Chief Rabbi in Rome goes to the Vatican and presents an ancient, and by now quite tattered envelope to the Pope.

The Pope inspects the envelope, shakes his head, and hands it back to the Chief Rabbi, who then departs. This has been going on for nearly two thousand years.

One year recently, it happened that there was a new Pope and a new Chief Rabbi. When the Chief Rabbi presented the ancient envelope to the Pope, as he had been instructed to do by his predecessor, the Pope looked it over and handed it back as his predecessor had told him to, in turn. But then the Pope said, "This is an unusual ritual. I don't understand it. What is in this envelope?"

"Damned if I know," answered the Chief Rabbi. "I'm new here myself. But, hey, let's open it and find out."

"Good idea," said the Pope.

So together, they slowly and carefully opened the envelope. And do you know what they found?

The caterer's bill for the Last Supper…

Hotel BMTC

To the tune of Eagles' "Hotel California"

On Seletar Expressway, cool wind in my hair

The warm smell of the Cookhouse rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
Nee Soon Medical Centre-I had to stop for the night
There they stood in the doorway, OC and PC as well
I was thinking to myself - this can't be heaven, this must be hell
And they opened the tonner, and they showed me the way.
There were Sergeants in the corridor, I though I heard them say......

Welcome to the Hotel BMTC

Such a 'garang' place, such a 'garang' face
Kena confined at the Hotel BMTC
Any time of the year, you can find it here.

His mind was certainly twisted, he had a sadistic bent

He had a lot of other PTI's he calls friends
Marching around the Parade Square, sweet summer sweat
A route march to remember, a route march to forget
So I called up the OC, "Sir I want to die!" and he says
"We haven't had a suicide here since 1989"
And still those voices are calling from Company Line
Wake you up in the middle of the night, just to hear them whine

Welcome to the Hotel BMTC

5BX 5BX
Plently of canteen breaks at BMTC
What a nice surprise, what a pack of lies

Even after ORD, In-Camp-Training's not nice

We are all just prisoners here of MINDEF's device
And in the Officer's Chambers, they gathered for the feast
Stabbed it with their plastic knifes but they just can't cut the beef
Last thing I remember I was heading for the door
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
"Relax" said the RP, "until you ROD"
"You can book out anytime you like, but you can never leave."

Customer Support

**Actual dialogue of a *former* WordPerfect Customer Support employee:**

"Ridge Hall computer assistant; may I help you?"

"Yes, well, I'm having trouble with WordPerfect."

"What sort of trouble?"

"Well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden the words went away."

"Went away?"

"They disappeared."

"Hmm. So what does your screen look like now?"

"Nothing."

"Nothing?"

"It's blank; it won't accept anything when I type."

"Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you get out?"

"How do I tell?"

"Can you see the C:\ prompt on the screen?"

"What's a sea-prompt?"

"Never mind. Can you move the cursor around on the screen?"

"There isn't any cursor: I told you, it won't accept anything I type."

"Does your monitor have a power indicator?"

"What's a monitor?"

"It's the thing with the screen on it that looks like a TV. Does it have a little light that tells you when it's on?"

"I don't know."

"Well, then look on the back of the monitor and find where the power cord goes into it. Can you see that?"

"Yes, I think so."

"Great! Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it's plugged into the wall."

"Yes, it is."

"When you were behind the monitor, did you notice that there were two cables plugged into the back of it, not just one?"

"No."

"Well, there are. I need you to look back there again and find the other cable."

"Okay, here it is."

"Follow it for me, and tell me if it's plugged securely into the back of your computer."

"I can't reach."

"Uh huh. Well, can you see if it is?"

"No."

"Even if you maybe put your knee on something and lean way over?"

"Oh, it's not because I don't have the right angle-it's because it's dark."

"Dark?"

"Yes-the office light is off, and the only light I have is coming in from the window."

"Well, turn on the office light then."

"I can't."

"No? Why not?"

"Because there's a power outage."

"A power... A power outage? Aha! Okay, we've got it licked now. Do you still have the boxes and manuals and packing stuff your computer came in?"

"Well, yes, I keep them in the closet."

"Good! Go get them, and unplug your system and pack it up just like it was when you got it. Then take it back to the store you bought it from."

"Really? Is it that bad?"

"Yes, I'm afraid it is."

"Well, all right then, I suppose. What do I tell them?"

"Tell them you're too stupid to own a computer."
