NEW AESOP'S FABLE

AN OLD MAN, A
BOY AND A DONKEY
WERE GOING TO TOWN. THE BOY RODE ON
THE DONKEY AND THE
OLD MAN WALKED.

AS THEY WENT ALONG THEY PASSED
SOME PEOPLE WHO
REMARKED THAT IT
WAS A SHAME THE OLD MAN WAS WALKING
WHILE THE BOY WAS
RIDING.


THE MAN AND BOY THOUGHT MAYBE THE
CRITICS WERE RIGHT, SO
THEY CHANGED
POSITIONS.


LATER THEY PASSED SOME PEOPLE WHO

REMARKED, "WHAT A SHAME! HE MAKES
THAT LITTLE BOY WALK." THEY DECIDED

THEY BOTH WOULD WALK!


SOON THEY PASSED SOME MORE PEOPLE
WHO THOUGHT THEY WERE STUPID TO
WALK WHEN THEY HAD A DECENT DONKEY
TO RIDE.
SO THEY BOTH RODE THE DONKEY!


NOW THEY PASSED SOME PEOPLE WHO
SHAMED THEM BY SAYING, "HOW AWFUL TO
PUT SUCH A LOAD ON A POOR DONKEY!"

THE BOY AND MAN SAID THEY WERE
PROBABLY RIGHT, SO THEY DECIDED
TO CARRY THE DONKEY.

AS THEY CROSSED A BRIDGE, THEY LOST
THEIR GRIP ON
THE ANIMAL, AND HE FELL
INTO THE RIVER AND DROWNED.

THE MORAL OF
THE STORY?

IF YOU TRY TO PLEASE EVERYONE,
YOU WILL EVENTUALLY LOSE
YOUR ASS.

Korean New Year's

I pigged out again on Korean New Year's. I went to my parents' place for some Korean BBQ (Kal-bi) and Korean Traditional Rice Cake Soup (Dduk-gook). My mom kept telling me to eat more and so I obeyed. I paid for it later when I was trying to sleep. I was so stuffed I couldn't sleep. I always overeat. I have to control myself, but I lack the discipline to do so. I kept tossing and turning in bed. I even thought about going to work at midnight so I could get an early start.

I need to eat less and exercise more. That's the key to a long and healthy life.

My Motobecane Nemesis triathlon bike soaking in the sun next to the office window on the 40th Floor.

I'm starting to bike to work again and it's awesome! I'm breaking all my old records that I had on my mountain bike. Now, my record is 29 minutes from my place to the office, which is about 9 and a half miles. I still need to train a lot more if I want to enter a triathlon. Those Tour de France riders can average 31 mph over 60 miles!

Valentine's Day is Not About Money

Here's a great article on Yahoo.com about how love should not be expressed in dollars, but in love. Somehow Valentine's Day has become a day for retailers to rip off guys by making them feel guilty for not buying diamonds, jewelry, chocolates, and flowers.

Dang Teens!

I was at the mall the other day eating at the food court. I noticed an old man watching a teenager sitting next to him.

The teenager had spiked hair in all different colors: green, red, orange, and blue.

The old man kept staring at him. The teenager would look and find the old man staring every time.

When the teenager had enough, he sarcastically asked, "What's the matter old man, never done anything wild in your life?"

The old man did not bat an eye in his response, "Got drunk once and had
sex with a peacock. I was just wondering if you were my son."

Things That Are Certain In Life

The madam opened the brothel door and saw a rather dignified, well-dressed man in his late 20s or early 30s. "May I help you?" she asked. "I want to have Jennifer," the man replied.

"Sir, Jennifer is one of our most expensive
ladies. Perhaps you would prefer someone else,"
said the madam.

"No. I must have Jennifer," was the man's reply.

Just then, Jennifer appeared and announced to the man that she charged $5,000 per trick.

Without hesitation, the man pulled out five thousand dollars and gave them to Jennifer, and they went upstairs and after an hour, the man calmly left.

The next night, the same man appeared again, demanding to have Jennifer.

Jennifer explained that none had ever come back two nights in a row - Too expensive--and there were no discounts. The price was still $5,000.

Again the man pulled out the money, gave it to Jennifer and they went upstairs. After an hour, he left.

The following night the man was there again.

Everyone was astounded that he had come for the third consecutive night, but he paid Jennifer and they went upstairs.

After their session, Jennifer questioned the man. "No one has ever had me three nights in a row.

"Where are you from?" she asked.

The man replied, "Southern California."

"Really" she said. "I have family in Southern California."

"I know," the man said. "Your father died, and I am your sister's attorney.
She asked me to give you your $15,000 inheritance."

The moral of the story is that three things in life are certain:

1. Death

2. Taxes

3. Being screwed by a lawyer

Are Computers Male or Female?

As you are aware, ships have long been characterized as being
female (e.g., "Steady as she goes" or "She's listing to
starboard, Captain!")

Recently, a group of computer scientists (all males) announced
that computers should also be referred to as being female. Their
reasons for drawing this conclusion follow:

Five reasons to believe computers are female:

1. No one but the Creator understands their internal logic.

2. The native language they use to communicate with other
computers is incomprehensible to everyone else.

3. The message "Bad command or file name" is about as
informative as, "If you don't know why I'm mad at you, then I'm
certainly not going to tell you."

4. Even your smallest mistakes are stored in long-term memory
for later retrieval.

5. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself
spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.

*** However, another group of computer scientists, (all female)
think that computers should be referred to as if they were male.
Their reasons follow:

Five reasons to believe computers are male:

1. They have a lot of data, but are still clueless.

2. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the
time they ARE the problem.

3. As soon as you commit to one you realize that, if you had
waited a little longer, you could have obtained a better model.

4. In order to get their attention, you have to turn them on.

5. Big power surges knock them out for the rest of the night.

Duct Tape

Jeff walks into a bar and sees his friend Paul slumped over the bar. He
walks over and asks Paul what`s wrong.
"Well," replies Paul, "you know that beautiful girl at work that I wanted to
ask out, but I got an erection every time I saw her?"
"Yes," replies Jeff with a laugh.
"Well," says Paul, straightening up, "I finally plucked up the courage to
ask her out, and she agreed."
"That`s great!" says Jeff, "When are you going out?"
"I went to meet her this evening," continues Paul, "but I was worried I`d
get an erection again. So I got some duct tape and taped my penis to my leg,
so if I did, it wouldn`t show."
"Sensible" says Jeff.
"So I get to her door," says Paul, "and I rang her doorbell. She answered it
in the sheerest, tiniest dress you ever saw."
"And what happened then?"
(Paul slumps back over the bar again.)
"I kicked her in the face."

One day a father gets out of work and on his way home he remembers that
it's his daughter's birthday. He pulls over to a toy store and asks the
salesperson, "How much is the Barbie on the display window?"

The salesperson answers, "Which one? We have:
Work out Barbie for 19.95,
Shopping Barbie for $19.95,
Beach! Barbie for $19.95,
Disco Barbie for $19.95,
and Divorced Barbie for $265.95

The amazed father asks:

"What? Why is the Divorced Barbie $265.95 and the others only $19.95?"

The salesperson annoyingly answers:
"Sir..., "Divorced Barbie comes with: Ken's Car, Ken's House, Ken's
Boat, Ken's Furniture, Ken's Computer and One of Ken's Friends.


Joke submitted by K.C.
A husband and wife came for counseling after 15 years of marriage.

When asked what the problem was, the wife went into a long, painful
tirade,listing every problem they had ever had. She went on and on and
on about neglect, lack of intimacy, emptiness, loneliness, feeling
unloved and unlovable, an entire laundry list of unmet needs she had
endured over the course of their marriage.

Finally, the therapist got up, walked around the desk, asked the wife
to stand, and then embraced and kissed her passionately.
The woman quietly sat down as though in a daze.

The therapist turned to the husband and said, "This is what your wife
needs at least three times a week. Can you do this?"

The husband thought for a moment and replied,.. "Well, I can drop her
off here on Mondays and Wednesdays, but on Fridays, I golf.
