Will Fleecebook ever live it down ???
I am quite sure that the IPO didn't go off as planned, but many investors MADE money at the expense of the unsuspected. Why is this IPO different from any of the others? Is it because of the hype which made it seem to valued at so many billions that the complications arose to be sure that profits were spread around (not to the investors, though).
Have you ever felt as though you have outlived your usefulness? That is probably the best time to volunteer at a local charity. Those places are always looking for useful volunteers. It will adjust your life's perspectives and attitudes.
Accident summary:
Some people who had automobile accidents were asked to summarize exactly what happened on their insurance form.
The following quotes were taken from those forms:
• Coming home, I drove into the wrong house and collided
with a tree I don't have.
• I collided with a stationary truck coming the other way. The guy was
all over the road; I had to swerve a number of times before I hit him.
• I had been driving my car for forty years when I fell asleep at the wheel and had an accident.
• My car was legally parked as it backed into the other vehicle.
• An invisible car came out of nowhere, struck my vehicle
and vanished. I told the police that I was not injured, but on removing my hat, I found that I had a skull fracture.
• The pedestrian had no idea of which way to go, so I ran
over him.
• The indirect cause of this accident was a little guy in a small car with a big mouth.
• The telephone pole was approaching fast. I was attempting to swerve out of its path when it struck my front.
A young Korean couple are lying in bed when the guy starts farting continuously.
"That's disgusting!" shouts the wife."It's the dog." the guy claims.
"Don't blame the fucking dog" she yells,"It was cooked perfectly!!"
A 54 year old woman had a heart attack and was taken to the hospital.
While on the operating table she had a near death experience.. Seeing God, she asked "Is my time up?"
God said, "No, you have another 43 years, 2 months and 8 days to live."
Upon recovery, the woman decided to stay in the hospital and have a face-lift, liposuction, breast implants and a tummy tuck.
She even had someone come in and change her hair color and brighten her teeth! Since she had so much more time to live, she figured she might as well make the most of it.
After her last operation, she was released from the hospital While crossing the street on her way home, she was killed by an ambulance.
Arriving in front of God, she demanded, "I thought you said I had
another 43 years? Why didn't you pull me from out of the path of the ambulance?"
(You'll love this)
God replied: "Shit! I didn't recognize you.
AS PROMISED: "The lighter side..." and free erudite opinions (and whines and gripes, that may not be politically correct), hyperboles and advice (on current events as well as topics for the digerati), and even some temporary(?) insanities too (daily risibility exercises)!...

My Statement
"Let me emphatically say that I am not anti-Facebook (Fleecebook), anti-smart phone, anti-Microsoft, anti-Apple, anti-Google or anti-Internet. I do believe, though, that the consumer is being ripped off of his privacy, identity and purchase history. We are being herded into a Facebook corner where what we "Like" and where we go physically and on the net will be scrutinized and sold numerous times to actually corrode and erode our culture while tempting us only with convenience, high tech and flashing video screens. The unsuspecting consumers need to be aware..." - Gary Lapman
