Corporate Lingo:
"COMPETITIVE SALARY"
We remain competitive by paying less than our competitors.
"JOIN OUR FAST-PACED TEAM"
We have no time to train you.
"CASUAL WORK ATMOSPHERE"
We don't pay enough to expect that you'll dress up; well, a couple of the real daring guys wear earrings.
"MUST BE DEADLINE ORIENTED"
You'll be six months behind schedule on your first day.
"SOME OVERTIME REQUIRED"
Some time each night and some time each weekend.
"DUTIES WILL VARY"
Anyone in the office can boss you around.
"MUST HAVE AN EYE FOR DETAIL"
We have no quality control.
"CAREER-MINDED"
Female Applicants must be childless (and remain that way).
"APPLY IN PERSON"
If you're old, fat or ugly you'll be told the position has been filled.
"NO PHONE CALLS PLEASE"
We've filled the job; our call for resumes is just a legal formality.
"SEEKING CANDIDATES WITH A WIDE VARIETY OF EXPERIENCE"
You'll need it to replace three people who just left.
"PROBLEM-SOLVING SKILLS A MUST"
You're walking into a company in perpetual chaos.
"REQUIRES TEAM LEADERSHIP SKILLS"
You'll have the responsibilities of a manager, without the pay or respect.
"GOOD COMMUNICATION SKILLS"
Management communicates, you listen, figure out what they want and do it. -
More Ponderings:
If the black box flight recorder is never damaged during a plane crash, why isn't the whole airplane made out of the same stuff?
Why is there an expiration date on sour cream?
If most car accidents occur within five miles of home, why doesn't everyone just move 10 miles away?
If man evolved from monkeys and apes, why do we still have monkeys and apes?
I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman, "Where's the self-help section? She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.
If all those psychics know the winning lottery numbers, why are they all still working?
Why do we say something is out of whack? What is a whack?
If a pig loses its voice, is it disgruntled?
Why do women wear evening gowns to nightclubs? Shouldn't they be wearing night gowns?
When someone asks you, "A penny for your thoughts," and you put your two cents in, what happens to the other penny?
Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker?
Why do croutons come in airtight packages? It's just stale bread to begin with.
When cheese gets its picture taken, what does it say?
Why is a person who plays the piano called a pianist, but a person who drives a race car is not called a racist?
Why are wise man and a wise guy opposites?
Why do overlook and oversee mean opposite things?
If horrific means to make horrible, does terrific mean to make terrible?
Why isn't 11 pronounced onety one? -
Ponderings:If vegetarians eat vegetables, what do humanitarians eat?Don`t think that you`re thinking. If you think that you're thinking you only think that you're thinking.When I erase a word with a pencil, where does it go?If a train station is where a train stops, what is a workstation?Why is it, when a door is open it's ajar, but when a jar is open, it's not adoor?Ever wonder what you call a pocket calculator in a nudist camp?If you jogged backward . . .would you gain weight?Being rich and it don't mean so much . Just look at Henry Ford, all those millions and he never owned a Cadillac!Why do they put pictures of criminals up in the Post Office? What are we supposed to do . . . write to these men? Why don't they just put their pictures on the postage stamps so the mailmen could look for them while they delivered the mail?Employment application blanks always ask who is to be notified in case of an emergency. Wouldn't a good response be to write . . . A Good Doctor!Mothers feed their babies with little tiny spoons and forks so what Chinese mothers use. Perhaps toothpicks?People seem to read the Bible a whole lot more as they get older. What are they doing? Cramming for finals?Old age is when you still have something on the ball but you are just too tired to bounce it.Did Adam ever said to Eve, "Watch it! There are plenty more ribs where you came from!"I drive far too fast to worry about cholesterol.Everyone has a photographic memory. But some folks don't have film.When everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.I almost had a psychic girlfriend, but she left me before we met.If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends?

Seven Little Stories...........
1. Once all villagers decided to pray for rain. On the day of prayer
all the people gathered, but only one boy came with an umbrella.
~ That's FAITH
2. When you throw a baby in the air, she laughs because she knows
you will catch her.
~ That's TRUST
3. Every night we go to bed without any assurance of being alive the
next morning but still we set the alarms to wake up.
~ That's HOPE
4. We plan big things for tomorrow in spite of zero knowledge of the
future.
~ That's CONFIDENCE
5. We see the world suffering, but still we get married.
~ That's LOVE
6. On an old man's shirt was written a sentence, 'I am not 60 years
old, I am Sweet 16 with 44 years of experience.
~ That's ATTITUDE
7. One of the things age changes is; At 22 you walk into a bar and
look around for a nice looking girl to hit on, at 80 you walk in and
look around to make sure where the toilet is !!
~ That's SMART -
Things to Think About:
I used to eat a lot of natural foods until I learned that most people die of natural causes.
Gardening Rule: When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.
The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a replacement.
Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
There are two kinds of pedestrians: the quick and the dead.
Life is sexually transmitted
An unbreakable toy is useful for breaking other toys.
If quitters never win, and winners never quit, then who is the fool who said, "Quit while you're ahead?"
Health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die
The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth.
Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day; teach that person to use the Internet and they won't bother you for weeks.
Some people are like Slinkies . . . not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you see one tumble down the stairs.
Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.
Have you noticed since everyone has a camcorder these days no one talks about seeing UFOs like they used to?
Whenever I feel blue, I start breathing again.
All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.
Why does a slight tax increase cost you two hundred dollars and a substantial tax cut saves you thirty cents?
In the 60's, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.
Politics is supposed to be the second oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first.
How is it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire?-

Grandpa and Little Johnny are sitting on a bench in the park. Johnny asked, "Grandpa are you going to take that new Viagra?"Grandpa looks at him and says, "No Johnny, I will not.""But Grandpa, why?" asks little Johnny.Grandpa replies, "Because there is no sense in putting lead in your pencil if you have no one to write to."

On a train from London to Manchester, an American was telling off the Englishman sitting across from him in the compartment."You English are too stuffy. You set yourselves apart too much. Look at me... in me, I have Italian blood, French blood, a little Indian blood, and some Swedish blood. What do you say to that?"The Englishman said, "Very sporting of your mother."

A herd of buffalo can move only as fast as the slowest buffalo. When the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first.This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members.In much the same way the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, we all know, kills brain cells, but naturally it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first.In this way regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine.Natural SelectionThat's why you always feel smarter after a few beers, and that's why beer is so GOOD for you!

Jennifer's wedding day was fast approaching. Nothing could dampen her excitement - not even her parent's nasty divorce.Her mother had found the PERFECT dress to wear, and would be the best-dressed mother-of-the-bride ever!A week later, Jennifer was horrified to learn that her father's new, young wife had bought the exact same dress as her mother! Jennifer asked her father's new young wife to exchange it, but she refused.''Absolutely not! I look like a million bucks in this dress, and I'm wearing it,'' she replied. Jennifer told her mother who graciously said, ''Never mind sweetheart. I'll get another dress. After all, it's your special day.''A few days later, they went shopping, and did find another gorgeous dress for her mother. When they stopped for lunch, Jennifer asked her mother, ''Aren't you going to return the other dress? You really don't have another occasion where you could wear it."Her mother just smiled and replied, ''Of course I do, dear......I'm wearing it to the rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding.''

I mowed the lawn today, and after doing so I sat down and had a cold beer.The day was really quite beautiful, and the drink facilitated some deep thinking.My wife walked by and asked me what I was doing, and I said, "Nothing."The reason I said "nothing" instead of saying "just thinking" is because she then would have asked, "About what?"At that point I would have had to explain that men are deep thinkers about various topics, which would lead to other questions.Finally I pondered an age old question: Is giving birth more painful than getting kicked in the nuts?Women always maintain that giving birth is way more painful than a guy getting kicked in the nuts, but how could they know?Well, after another beer, and some more heavy deductive thinking, I have come up with an answer to that question.Getting kicked in the nuts is more painful than having a baby, and even though I obviously couldn't really know, here is the reason for my conclusion:A year or so after giving birth, a woman will often say, "It might be nice to have another child."But you never hear a guy say, "You know, I think I would like another kick in the nuts."I rest my case.Time for another beer. Then maybe a nap.

The owner of a small deli was being questioned by an IRS agent about his tax return.He had reported a net profit of $80,000 for the year."Why don't you people leave me alone?" the deli owner said. "I work like a dog, everyone in my family helps out, the place is only closed three days a year...and you want to know how I made $80,000?""It's not your income that bothers us," the agent said. "It's these deductions. You listed six trips to Bermuda for you and your wife.""Oh, that," the owner said smiling. "Didn't I mention? We deliver anywhere.

Jeb and Jethro live in the hills, about 5 miles outside of town.Jeb asks Jethro to go in to town to pick up some lumber. Jethro walks the 5 miles to town to the local lumberyard."Jeb says we're gonna need some 4 x 2's" Jethro tells the yardman."Do you mean 2 x 4's?" asks the yardman."Well, I don't rightly know, I better go ask Jeb" says Jethro and walks the 10 miles to the hills and back to town."Jeb says we're gonna need 2 x 4's" Jethro tells the yardman."Now, how many 2 x 4's will you need?" asks the yardman."Well, I don't rightly know, I better go ask Jeb." says Jethro, and again walks the 10 miles to the hills and back to town."Jeb says were gonna need about 40 of 'em" Jethro tells the yardman."Now, how long will you need them?" asks the yardman."Well, I don't rightly know, I better go ask Jeb" says Jethro and yet again walks the 10 miles to the hills and back to town.Upon returning Jethro says to the yardman, "Jeb says you better give 'em to us for a while . . .we're gonna build a barn."

A veterinarian was feeling ill and went to see her doctor.The doctor asked her all the usual questions, about symptoms, how long had they been occurring, etc., when she interrupted him: "Hey look, I'm a vet -- I don't need to ask my patients these kind of questions: I can tell what's wrong just by looking. Why can't you?"The doctor nodded, looked her up and down, wrote out a prescription, and handed it to her and said, "There you are. Of course, if that doesn't work, we'll have to have you put down."

10 Parenting Laws:1. The later you stay up, the earlier your child will wake up the next morning.2. For a child to become clean, something else must become dirty.3. Toys multiply to fill any space available.4. The longer it takes you to make a meal, the less your child will like it.5. Yours is always the only child who doesn't behave.6. If the shoe fits...it's expensive.7. The surest way to get something done is to tell a child not to do it.8. The gooier the food, the more likely it is to end up on the carpet.9. Backing the car out of the driveway causes your child to have to go to the bathroom.10. The more challenging the child, the more rewarding it is to be a parent...sometimes.

BLONDE COOKBOOKMONDAY: It's fun to cook for Tom. Today I made angel food cake. The recipe said beat 12 eggs separately. The neighbors were nice enough to loan me some extra bowls.TUESDAY: Tom wanted fruit salad for supper. The recipe said serve without dressing. So I didn't dress. What a surprise when Tom brought a friend home for supper.WEDNESDAY: A good day for rice. The recipe said wash thoroughly before steaming the rice. It seemed kind of silly but I took a bath anyway. I can't say it improved the rice any.THURSDAY: Today Tom asked for salad again. I tried a new recipe. It said prepare ingredients, lay on a bed of lettuce one hour before serving. Tom asked me why I was rolling around in the garden.FRIDAY: I found an easy recipe for cookies. It said put the ingredients in a bowl and beat it. There must have been something wrong with this recipe. When I got back, everything was the same as when I left.SATURDAY: Tom did the shopping today and brought home a chicken. He asked me to dress it for Sunday (oh boy).For some reason Tom keeps counting to ten.SUNDAY: Tom's folks came to dinner. I wanted to serve roast but all I had was hamburger. Suddenly I had a flash of genius. I put the hamburger in the oven and set the controls for roast. It still came out hamburger, much to my disappointment.GOOD NIGHT DEAR DIARY. This has been a very exciting week. I am eager for tomorrow to come so I can try out a new recipe on Tom. If I can talk Tom into buying a bigger oven, I would like to surprise him with chocolate moose.

There was a man named George who got a new job. His fellow employees always met for a round of golf every Saturday. They asked George to meet them at 10:00 Saturday morning.George replied that he would love to meet them, but he may be 6 minutes late.On Saturday morning George was there at exactly 10:00. He golfed right handed and won the round.Following Saturday rolls around, and George says that he will be there, but he may be 6 minutes late again. He shows up right on time, golf's left handed, and wins the round.This continues for the next few weeks, with George always saying that he may be 6 minutes late, and then always winning the round golfing, either left or right handed.The other employees are getting tired of this, and decided to ask him what the deal was.They said, ''George, every Saturday you say you may be six minutes late. You never are. Then you show up and golf with either right handed or left handed, and always win. What is up with that?George replies, ''Well, I am a very superstitious kind of guy. Every Saturday when I wake up, I look over at my wife. If she is sleeping On her left side, I golf left handed. If she is sleeping on her right side, I golf right handed.''''Well,'' one of the employees questioned, ''What happens if she is laying on her back?''George replies, ''Then I am 6 minutes late.''
