    Things Not to Hear During Surgery

    • Better save that. We'll need it for the autopsy.
    • Someone call the janitor - we're going to need a mop.
    • Bo! Bo! Come back with that! Bad Dog!
    • Wait a minute, if this is his spleen, then what's that?
    • Hand me that....uh....that uh....thingie.
    • Oh no! I just lost my Rolex.
    • Oops! Hey, has anyone ever survived 500ml of this stuff before?
    • Darn, there go the lights again.
    • Ya know, there's big money in kidneys. Heck, the guy's got two of 'em.
    • Everybody stand back! I lost my contact lens!
    • What's this doing here?
    • I hate it when they're missing stuff in here.
    • That's cool! Now can you make his leg twitch?!
    • I wish I hadn't forgotten my glasses.
    • Well folks, this will be an experiment for us all.
    • Sterile, shcmerile. The floor's clean, right?
    • Anyone see where I left that scalpel?
    • This patient has already had some kids, am I correct?

    Mad Ramblings and Ponderments

    What's with the people who put carpeting on the lid of their toilet seat? What are they thinking -- "Gosh, if we have a party there may not be enough standing room; I'd better carpet the toilet too."

    Have you ever noticed that the waiter who takes your order is not the one who brings your food anymore? What is THAT about? And which waiter are you tipping, anyway?

    Would somebody please explain to me those signs that say, "No animals allowed except for Seeing Eye Dogs?" Who is that sign for? Is it for the dog, or the blind person?

    Why do people give each other flowers? To celebrate various important occasions, they're killing living creatures? Why restrict it to plants? "Sweetheart, let's make up. Have this deceased squirrel."

    Can't we just get rid of wine lists? Do we really have to be reminded every time we go out to a nice restaurant that we have no idea what we are doing? Why don't they just give us a trigonometry quiz with the menu?

    Why do they call it a "building"? It looks like they're finished. Why isn't it a "built"?

    Why is it when you turn on the TV you see ads for telephone companies, and when you turn on the radio you hear ads for TV shows, and when you get put on hold on the phone you hear a radio station?

    Why is it illegal to park in a handicapped parking space but okay to go the bathroom in a handicapped stall?

    How come you have to pay someone to rotate your tires? Isn't that the basic idea behind the wheel? Don't they rotate on their own?

    Did you ever notice, when you are sitting at a red light, that when the person in front of you pulls up a couple of inches, you are compelled to move up too? Do we really think we are making progress toward our destination? "Whew, I thought we would be late, but now that I am nine inches closer, I can stop for coffee and a danish!"

    Isn't it weird that we drink milk, stuff designed to nourish baby cows? How did THAT happen? Did some cattleman once say, "Oh, man, I can't wait till them calves are done so I can get ME a hit of that stuff."

    Have you ever noticed how they keep improving your laundry detergent, but they still can't get those blue flakes out? Why do we trust them to get our clothes clean? These guys can't even get the DETERGENT white!

    Did you see these new minivan ads? All they talk about are cup holders, kiddy seats and doors. What kind of advertising is that? When you see an ad for a suit, do they say, "And look at the zipper! Carefully hidden, but easily accessible when you need it!" I think not.

    Computer Genesis

    1. In the beginning GOD created the Bit and the Byte. And from those he created the Word.
    2. And there were two Bytes in the Word; and nothing else existed. And God separated the One from the Zero; and he saw it was good.
    3. And God said - Let the Data be; And so it happened. And God said - Let the Data go to their proper places. And he created floppy disks and hard disks and compact disks.
    4. And God said - Let the computers be, so there would be a place to put floppy disks and hard disks and compact disks. Thus God created computers and called them hardware.
    5. And there was no Software yet. But God created programs; small and big... And told them Go and multiply yourselves and fill all the Memory.
    6. And God said -I will create the Programmer; And the Programmer will make new programs and govern over the computers and programs and Data.
    7. And God created the Programmer; and put him at Data Centre; And God showed the Programmer the Catalogue Tree and said You can use all the volumes and subvolumes but DO NOT USE Windows.
    8. And God said - It is not Good for the programmer to be alone. He took a bone from the Programmer's body and created a creature that would look up at the Programmer; and admire the Programmer; and love the things the Programmer does; And God called the creature: the User.
    9. And the Programmer and the User were left under the naked DOS and it was Good.
    10. But Bill was smarter than all the other creatures of God. And Bill said to the User - Did God really tell you not to run any programs?
    11. And the User answered - God told us that we can use every program and every piece of Data but told us not to run Windows or we will die.
    12. And Bill said to the User - How can you talk about something you did not even try. The moment you run Windows you will become equal to God. You will be able to create anything you like by a simple click of your
      mouse.
    13. And the User saw that the fruits of the Windows were nicer and easier to use. And the User saw that any knowledge was useless since Windows could replace it.
    14. So the User installed the Windows on his computer; and said to the Programmer that it was good.
    15. And the Programmer immediately started to look for new drivers. And God asked him - What are you looking for? And the Programmer answered - I am looking for new drivers because I can not find them in the DOS. And God said - Who told you that you need drivers? Did you run Windows? And the Programmer said - It was Bill who told us to!
    16. And God said to Bill - Because of what you did you will be hated by all the creatures. And the User will always be unhappy with you. And you will always sell Windows.
    17. And God said to the User - Because of what you did, the Windows will disappoint you and eat up all your Resources; and you will have to use lousy programs; and you will always rely on the Programmers help.
    18. And God said to the Programmer - Because you listened to the User you will never be happy. All your programs will have errors and you will have to fix them and fix them to the end of time.
    19. And God threw them out of the Data Centre and locked the door and secured it with a password.
    20. GENERAL PROTECTION FAULT.
