COMPUTERS vs AUTO INDUSTRY
Bill Gates wanted to look good and impress everyone with his success.
He decided to measure the accomplishments of Microsoft against General Motors.
The comparison went like this:
If automotive technology had kept pace with computer technology over the past
few decades,you would now be driving a V-32 instead of a V-8, and it would have
a top speed of 10,000 miles per hour. Or you could have an economy car that
weighs 30 pounds and gets a thousand miles to a gallon of gas. In either case
the sticker price of a new car would be less than $50.
In response to all this goading, GM responds:
"Yes, but would you really want to drive a car that crashes twice a
day?"

your paycheck on accessories for it.
From This Life To The Next ...
A new business was opening and one of the owner's friends wanted to send flowers for the occasion. They arrived at the new business site and the owner read the card; it said "Rest in Peace". The owner was angry and called the florist to complain. After he had told the florist of the obvious mistake and how angry he was, the florist said. "Sir, I'm really sorry for the mistake, but rather than getting angry you should imagine this: somewhere there is a funeral taking place today, and they have flowers with a note saying, 'Congratulations on your new location'".
JOB INTERVIEW
Reaching the end of a job interview, the Human Resources Person asked the young Engineer fresh out of MIT, "And what starting salary were you looking for?"
The Engineer said, "In the neighborhood of $75,000 a year, depending on the benefit's package."
The HR Person said, "Well, what would you say to a package of 5-weeks vacation, 14 paid holidays, full medical and dental, company matching retirement fund to 50% of salary, and a company car leased every 2 years - say, a red Corvette?"
The Engineer sat up straight and said, "Wow!!! Are you kidding?"
And the HR Person said, "Certainly, ...but you started it."
NO TITLE
After marrying a young filly, a ninety-year-old geezer told his doctor that they were expecting a baby.
"Let me tell you a story," said the Doctor. "An absent-minded fellow went hunting, but instead of a gun, he picked up an umbrella. Suddenly a bear charged him. Pointing his umbrella at the bear, he shot and killed it on the spot."
"Impossible!" the geezer exclaimed. "Somebody else must have shot that bear."
"Exactly," replied the doctor.
Surgery
Four surgeons were taking a coffee break and were discussing their work. The first said, "I think accountants are the easiest to operate on. You open them up and everything inside is numbered."
The second said, "I think librarians are the easiest to operate on. You open them up and everything inside is in alphabetical order."
The third said, "I like to operate on electricians. You open them up and everything inside is color-coded.
The fourth one said, "I like to operate on lawyers. They're heartless spineless, gutless, and their heads and their butts are interchangable."
Irish Lady
I was in a bar the other night, and the most amazing thing happened...
the bar was sorta empty, but these two ladies sitting near me both were talking with Irish accents. One walks up to the other and says "I've noticed your accent, where are you from?"
2nd: "Well, I'm from Ireland of course!"
1st: "Me too! Where in Ireland?"
2nd: "Well, from Wallo county."
1st: "Wallo county? Me too! Where in Wallo county?"
2nd: "Well, I'm from this really small town called Bridgeside"
1st: "What a small world! Bridgeside! I'm from Bridgeside too! Where in Bridgeside?"
2nd: "Well, I grew up on this really small road on the north side of town," (the 1st lady is getting very excited) "called Lexon"
1st: "I can't believe it! Wow! Lexon! Wow!"
At this time one of the regulars walks into the bar and asks the bartender what's new. "Not much," replied the bartender, "just that the O'Rowden twins are drunk again."

What is marriage
Getting married is very much like going to a continental restaurant with friends.
You order what you want, then when you see what the other fellow has, you wish
you had ordered that.
At the cocktail party, one woman said to another, "Aren't you wearing your
wedding ring on the wrong finger?" The other replied, "Yes I am, I
married the wrong man."
Man is incomplete until he is married. Then he is really finished.
Marriage is an institution in which a man loses his bachelor's degree and the
woman gets her master's.
A little boy asked his father, "Daddy, how much does it cost to get
married?" And the father replied, "I don't know, son, I'm still
paying for it."
Young Son: Is it true, Dad, I heard that in some parts of Africa a man doesn't
know his wife until he marries her? Dad: That happens in most countries, son.
Then there was a man who said, "I never knew what real happiness was until
I got married; and then it was too late.
When a newly married man looks happy we know why. But when a ten-year married
man looks happy - we wonder why.
Married life is very frustrating. In the first year of marriage, the man speaks
and the woman listens. In the second year, the woman speaks and the man
listens. In the third year, they both speak and the neighbors listen.
After a quarrel, a wife said to her husband, "You know, I was a fool when
I married you." And the husband replied, "Yes, dear, but I was in
love and didn't notice it."
It doesn't matter how often a married man changes his job, he still ends up
with the same boss.
A man inserted an 'ad' in the classifieds: "Wife wanted". Next day he
received a hundred letters. They all said the same thing: "You can have
mine."
When a man opens the door of his car for his wife, you can be sure of one
thing: either the car is new or the wife.
A perfect wife is one who helps the husband with the dishes.
A woman was telling her friend , "It is I who made my husband a
millionaire." "And what was he before you married him." Asked
the friend. The woman replied, " A multi-millionaire".
Is there Baseball in Heaven?
Two great buddies, Tommy and Fred, were two of the biggest baseball fans in
America.
Their entire adult lives, Tommy and Fred discussed baseball history in the
winter, and they pored over every box score during the season. They went to 60
games a year. They even agreed that whoever died first would try to come back
and tell the other something they always wanted to know: Is there baseball in
heaven?
One summer night, Tommy passed away in his sleep after watching the Yankee
victory earlier in the evening. He died happy. A few nights later, his buddy
Fred awoke to the sound of Tommy's voice from Glory.
"Tommy! Tommy, is that you?" Fred asked.
"Of course it me," Tommy replied.
"This is incredible!" Fred exclaimed. "OK. So I know why you're
here. Tell me, is there baseball in heaven?"
"Well I have some good news and some bad news for you. Which do you want
to hear first?"
"Tell me the good news first."
"Well, the good news is that yes there is baseball in heaven, Fred."
"Oh, that is wonderful! So what could possibly be the bad news?"
"You're pitching tomorrow night..."
