Pleasant surprise- We usually watch American Idol, at least in the beginning of the season during the tryouts. They are hilarious. Then, towards the end of the season, we watch to guess at the winner. We were wondering after they changed judges whether the "magic" would still be there. I am impressed with Jennifer Lopez. Not only is she very pleasant to look at, but also pleasant to listen to as she judges the tryouts. She has just the right amount of humor and compassion without being friggin' silly like Paula Abdul. Steven Tyler is just funny and spot on for the decisions he makes. I predict that the show will still be a hit and the judges that left won't make difference...
More about the Bing Sting by Google. I am actually blown away that Microsoft would do something so stupid. If Google went down, what would happen to Bing for the duration ??
So apparently all smart phones that are for retail sale today are already antiques. Their software is out of date and their processors are only half as fast as the ones being made at the same time. There is no way to catch up on technology. It is the same issue with flat screen TVs, cameras, laptops and so on. All one can REALLY expect to do is capture a spot in the evolution of a product before it is replaced by a revolutionary new product. You really don't pay for a new product, you pay to keep the product that replaces the one you bought off the market for a bit longer...
A young lady had become pregnant and wanted an abortion. Unfortunately, a medical examination showed she could not and when told so by her doctor she broke down and cried.
"I can't have a baby now," she said, "There must be something you can do!"
The doctor thought about this for a while, and suddenly he came up with an idea: "There's bound to be someone in this hospital for an appendix operation when you give birth. We'll just give her your baby and tell her it wasn't the appendix after all."
The young lady agreed to his plan, but at the time she was giving birth there were no women in for an appendix operation in the hospital, in fact the only person who was, was an old priest. The doctor, desperately realizing the gravity of the situation and his promise, figured he might as well try anyway.
The priest was overwhelmed. Convinced this was an immaculate conception he took his little son home. The years passed and his son grew to become a fine boy. The priest was getting old, and finally he called his son to his deathbed.
"There is something I have to tell you," said the priest, "I am not your father." His son looked at him in surprise. The priest went on; "I am your mother, the bishop is your father."
A guy walked into the local welfare office to pick up his check. He marched straight up to the counter and said, "Hi.....you know.....I just HATE drawing welfare...I'd really rather have a job."
The social worker behind the counter said, "Your timing is excellent. We just got a job opening from a very wealthy old man who wants a Chauffeur and bodyguard for his beautiful daughter. You'll have to drive around in his 2011 Mercedes-Benz CL, and he will supply all of your clothes. Because of the long hours, meals will be provided." "You'll also be expected to escort the daughter on her overseas holiday trips. This is rather awkward to say but you will also have to, as part of your job assignment, satisfy her urges as the daughter is in her mid-20s and has a rather strong sex drive."
The guy, just plain wide-eyed, said, "You're bullshitting me!"
The social worker said, "Yeah, well ... You started it."
According to a news report, a certain private school in Washington was recently faced with a unique problem. A number of 12-year-old girls were beginning to use lipstick and would put it on in the bathroom. That was fine,but after they put on their lipstick, they would press their lips on the mirror leaving dozens of little lip prints. Every night the maintenance man
would remove them, and the next day the girls would put them back. Finally the principal decided that something had to be done. She called all the girls to the bathroom and met them there with the maintenance man. She explained that all these lip prints were causing a major problem for the custodian who had to clean the mirrors every night (you can just imagine all the yawns from the little princesses).
To demonstrate how difficult it had been to clean the mirrors, she asked the maintenance man to show the girls how much effort was required. He took out a long-handled squeegee, dipped it in the toilet, and cleaned the mirror with it.
Since then, there have been no lip prints on the mirror.
There are teachers.. . . and then there are educators.
