Give it a shot. What do you have to lose?

1. Why does the phone almost always ring when you just can not answer?

2) Lets say the phone is in another room, the phone rings and you go and pick it up in what you would call a reasonable time, it either stops ringing just when you grab the phone or you here the “click” from the other end when you say hello.

It never fails…

Does this test work?

I thought this was kind of cute and funny.

I hate poems just like you,
Sometimes even more, it’s true.
The rhyme and rythm, all that stuff,
My brain just screams, “OK ENOUGH!”

I loathe the meter, I hate the verse
Every time, it just gets worse.
When in school we learned all this,
I made sure that day to miss.

Some will ask incredulously,
“Why do you write this atrocity?
Why do you burden us with your pain?”
They sure all think that I’m insane.

The answer is, I tell you now,
Insane I am, and boy oh how.
A crazy loon that’s me alright,
And poems I don’t know how to write.

But my brain still mutters and sometimes stammers,
And sometimes hits me with a hammer.
So I really have no choice, you see,
Than to annoy you with my poetry.

This one is old and can be found here and there on the Internet, but I felt I needed something to post to keep this blog alive. :d

• Ziploc Bags are Male, because they hold everything in, yet you can see right through them.
• Copiers are Female, because once turned off; it takes a while to warm them up again. It’s an effective reproductive device if the right buttons are pushed, but can wreak havoc if the wrong buttons are pushed.
• A Tire is Male, because it goes bald and it’s often over-inflated.
• A Hot Air Balloon is Male, because, to get it to go anywhere, you have to light a fire under it, and of course, there’s the hot air part.
• Sponges are Female, because they’re soft, squeezable and retain water.
• A Web Page is Female, because it’s always getting hit on.
• A Subway is Male, because it uses the same old lines to pick people up.
• An Hourglass is Female, because over time, the weight shifts to the bottom.
• A Hammer is Male, because it hasn’t changed much over the last 5,000 years, but it’s handy to have around.
• A Remote Control is Female. Ha! You thought it’d be male, didn’t you? But consider this - it gives a man pleasure, he’d be lost without it, and while he doesn’t always know the right buttons to push, he keeps trying!
