Say goodbye to FREE calling on Skype. Now that Microsoft has bought the company for over $8 billion, I'm sure it will no longer be reliable and will probably cost to install or use...or you'll be flooded with ads... Wonder what they might do with it? Here are some possibilities....
What will be THE NEXT BEST THING? Will it be a gadget? An app? There were always rumors in the past about a pill that could be thrown into a tank of water to create a combustible mixture that you could run your car on....Whatever happened to that? Snuffed by the oil companies? What about a super efficient solar panel that makes enough power to run your whole house on- giving you grid independence? I'd like to see a solar conductor paint that I paint my house with and it can be tapped for power. How about an automobile tire with zero rolling resistance? Or an electric airplane that has solar collectors over the whole plane? How about a smart phone that doesn't spy on you without your permission or PAYS you for the information which supports the cost of your phone! What a novel idea!
Say goodbye to your current house- quickly look for a smaller one. A study just revealed that 85% of college grads move back home! I knew it was a lot, but I didn't think it was that much....
Chutzpah is a Yiddish word meaning gall, brazen nerve, effrontery, sheer guts plus arrogance and, as Leo Rosten writes, no other word, and no other language, can do it justice. This is a great example:
A little old lady sold pretzels on a street corner for a dollar each. Every day a young man would leave his office building at lunch time and as he passed the pretzel stand he would leave her a dollar, but never take a pretzel. This went on for more than 3 years. The two of them never spoke.
One day as the young man passed the old lady's stand and left his dollar as usual, the pretzel lady spoke to him for the first time in over 3 years. Without blinking an eye she said: "They're a dollar and a quarter now."
A man calls home to his wife and says, "Honey, I've been invited to fly to Canada with my boss and several of his friends to go fishing, for the long weekend. This is a good opportunity for me to get that promotion I've been wanting, so could you please pack enough clothes for a three-day weekend. And also, would you get out my rod and tackle box from the attic? We're leaving at 4:30 pm from the office and I'll swing by the house to pick-up my things. Oh! And please pack my new navy blue silk pajamas.”
The wife thinks this sounds a bit odd, but, being the good wife, she does exactly what her husband asked.
Following the long weekend he returns home a little tired, but, otherwise, looking good. The wife welcomes him home and asks if he caught many fish?
He says, “Yes! Lots of walleyes, some bass, and a few pike.” "But", he said, "why didn't you pack my new blue silk pajamas, like I asked you to do?”
You'll love the answer.
The wife replies, "I did, they're in your tackle box".
Never, Never, Never try to outsmart a woman!
Three old guys are out walking.
First one says, "Windy, isn't it?"
Second one says, "No, its Thursday!"
Third one says, "So am I. Let's go get a beer!"
