Life is good again

The Ctrl key had dropped off from my HP laptop a couple of months ago. It uncovered a plumbing weaker than the Victorian pipes being replaced by Thames water. But, I decided to carry on and not let one little irritating nipple (on the key board, of course) distract my work. In due course, I realized that the left Ctrl key is as essential as the thumb finger. Finally, I decided to call HP customer service and I got the replacement part. Life is normal again. I guess I am just a control freak!

Humour...

I recently met a guy who had been working in the same office building for 23 years. Then, he was telling me about his colleague, "K.... has been working here a little longer than me, 28 years actually which is more than what you get for murder"

A little birdie told me...

I have heard chirping sounds in the middle of the night quite a few times over the last few days. I am not a bird expert but I don't think owls sound that pleasant although it doesn't sound all that pleasant when you are trying to sleep. These birds must be migratory birds with jet lag!

Bush's speech

I agree that the terms 'Bush's speech' , 'England cricket-team','Serious GoGo' are all oxymorons but Bush will deliver the State of the Union speech anyway.
I believe Bush is going to say "Our union is no different that other unions such as T&G that strike regularly. We will continue to strike targets in Afghanistan and Iraq..."

X It

My theory for Fidel Castro not making a public appearance in months is that he is glued to his X-box. I am told he is terminally ill
