Women know how to take advantage of guy's weaknesses.  :wink:

The girls complain about us guys being idiots. This girl decided to make lemonade instead of griping. Exploit your adversaries' weaknesses, and all that.

I guess I'm gonna have to be content with my Jesus Crust painting while I save up for a set of her power cables. 

I mean if they're good enough for her $300.00 CD player...

No kidding, Bob. I agree. When it was published I was 58. In a few weeks I'll turn 70. I'm sure quite a few of you are personally aware of how enormous a difference that time period represents as changes in your life.
I wish Nathan Marciniak would come back. Very imaginative and creative and, as far as I could tell, he was the most entertaining person ever to spend time with us. Badly missed. Sad!!!

My favorite:

"Are there any measurements of the effect of the sonicrocks?"


Yes!  Customers are encouraged to get a yellow legal pad and write down their impressions of what they hear.  Scan this page into a computer, make a PDF file and send it to Elemental Voice so we can post it on the website!  That's proof positive that Sonicrock® works! Microsoft Excel also allows you to create colorful pie charts and graphs showing the amount of pleasure received from Sonicrocks®!.  Use these to your advantage!  The human ear is far more sensitive to the effects of Sonicrocks® than dogs or even bats, much less some bizarre electronic contraption with fancy dials and wiggly lines. It works because it does work!  How can you measure the look in a child's eye when he first hears his favorite song reproduced with breathtaking clarity?  How can you measure the love radiating from your spouse when they realize what a wise investment you've made? You just can't!  All you need to know is that  Sonicrock® gives you a whole lot, and more!

He did log in earlier this year, although it's been three years since he's posted.

While I do whole heartedly agree you, your post sounds like a tweet written by a certain someone who could just as well sign an executive order to order Nathan back in service. This place hasn't been, nor can it be the same without him. Hopefully he's doing well. That man is a celebrity.

You'll buy one (or several) ..... unless you hate your children or your spouse!

Anyone heard of Jimmy Slonina from Chicago?

One of the funniest lip sync talents around, and more:

  Modern Love Story...
 

An elderly couple had just learned how to send text messages on their mobile phones. The wife was a romantic type and the husband was more of a no-nonsense guy.

 
One afternoon the wife went out to meet a friend for coffee.

 
She decided to send her husband a romantic text message and she wrote:

 
"If you are sleeping, send me your dreams. If you are laughing, send me your smile. If you are eating, send me a bite. If you are drinking, send me a sip. If you are crying, send me your tears.  I love you."

 
The husband texted back to her:   

 
"I'm on the toilet. Please advise."
