| Posted by calicutieangel on 14-Aug-2005 | You owe nothing (true story)A couple of months ago I got a statement from a credit card company saying
that I still owed $1.22...this was strange since I had already paid the
balance in full. I called and asked for an explanation, and got some
nonsense I suppose someone somewhere understood...something like a
recursive finance charge. So I sent in a check for $2.00. Now, the credit
card co. sends a statment so long as you have a non-zero balance. So they
are now spending 32 cents a month to tell me I have a balance of 78 cents.
touchee.
OBsomeoneelsescreditcardpaymentHack:
You know, that reminds me of the article about 5 years back from a guy who
got a credit card bill stating that he owed $0.00.
He ignored it and threw it away.
Next month he got another, did the same thing.
The next month they sent him a very nasty note stating they were going to
cancel his credit card if he didn't send them $0.00. He called them,
talked to them, they said it was "a glitch" and told him they'd take care
of it.
The following month he tried to charge something and couldn't. He called
the credit card company who again said they'd take care of it. The next
day he got his bill for $0.00 stating that he was very delinquent.
The man figured the credit card company would take care of it, so he
didn't worry. The next month he got a bill for $0.00 stating that he had
10 days to pay or his account was going to collection.
He mailed the credit card company a check for $0.00, and the credit card
company's computer processed it, noting that his account was now paid in
full.
A week later, the man's bank called him asking him what he was doing
writing a check for $0.00. He explained and they said, "well, your $0.00
check has caused our check processing software to fail. We now can't
process ANY of our checks from that day electronically because that $0.00
check is causing the program to abort."
The man, who had been considering buying his wife a computer for her
birthday, bought her a typewriter instead.

| Posted by Anna Flack on 14-Aug-2005 | Deep ThoughtsSome DEEP THOUGHTS to start off your week with:
. How much deeper would oceans be if sponges didn't live there?
. If it's true that we are here to help others, then what exactly are the
OTHERS here for?
. STRESSED spelled backwards is DESSERTS.
. You never really learn to swear until you learn to drive.
. Clones are people two.
. If a man says something in the woods and there are no women there, is he
still wrong?
. No one ever says "It's only a game," when their team is winning.
. If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.
. Ever wonder what the speed of lightning would be if it didn't zigzag?
. Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.
. Think "honk" if you're telepathic.
. Last night I played a blank tape at full blast. The mime next door went
nuts.
. I went to a store which said open 24 hours and he was closing. When I
asked why he said, "We're open 24 hours, but not in a row."
. Why don't they just make mouse-flavored cat food?
. I just got skylights put in my place. The people who live above me are
furious.
. Why do they sterilize needles for lethal injections?
. If it's tourist season, why can't we shoot them?
. Disney World is a people trap operated by a mouse?
. Since light travels faster than sound, isn't that why some people appear
bright until you hear them speak?
. If it's zero degrees outside today and it's supposed to be twice as cold
tomorrow, how cold is it going to be?
. Why do you press harder on a remote-control when you know the battery is
dead?

| Posted by David McMorris on 14-Aug-2005 | The Oreo Personality TestPsychologists have discovered that the manner in which people eat Oreo
cookies provides great insight into their personalities. Choose which
method best describes your favorite method of eating Oreos:
1. The whole thing all at once.
2. One bite at a time
3. Slow and methodical nibbles, examining the results of each bite
afterwards.
4. In little feverish nibbles.
5. Dunked in some liquid (milk, coffee...).
6. Twisted apart, the inside, then the cookie.
7. Twisted apart, the inside, and toss the cookie.
8. Just the cookie, not the inside.
9. I just like to lick them, not eat them.
10. I don't have a favorite way because I don't like Oreos.
Your Personality:
1. The whole thing. This means you consume life with abandon, you are fun
to be with, exciting, carefree with some hint of recklessness. You are
totally irresponsible. No one should trust you with their children.
2. One bite at a time. You are lucky to be one of the 5.4 billion other
people who eat their Oreo's this very same way. Just like them, you lack
imagination, but that's ok, not to worry, you're "normal".
3. Slow and methodical. You follow the rules. You're very tidy and
orderly. You're very meticulous in every detail with every thing you do to
the point of being anal retentive and irritating to others. Stay out of
the fast lane if you're only going to go the speed limit.
4. Feverish nibbles. Your boss likes you because you get your work done
quickly. You always have a million things to do and never enough time to
do them. Mental break downs and suicides run in your family. Valium and
Ritalin would do you good.
5. Dunked. Every one likes you because you are always upbeat. You like to
sugar-coat unpleasant experiences and rationalize bad situations into good
ones. You are in total denial about the shambles you call a life. You have
a propensity towards narcotic addiction.
6. Twisted apart, the inside, and then the cookie. You have a highly
curious nature. You take pleasure in breaking things apart to find out how
they work, though not always able to put them back together, so you
destroy all the evidence of your activities. You deny your involvement
when things go wrong. You are a compulsive liar and exhibit deviant, if
not criminal, behavior.
7. Twisted apart, the inside, and then toss the cookie. You are good at
business and take risk that pay off. You take what you want and throw the
rest away. You are greedy,selfish, mean, and lack feelings for others. You
should be ashamed of yourself. But that's ok, you don't care, you got
yours.
8. Just the cookie, not the inside. You enjoy pain.
9. I just like to lick them, not eat them. Stay away from small furry
animals and seek professional medical help immediately.
10. I don't have a favorite way, I don't like Oreo cookies. You probably
come from a rich family, and like to wear nice things, and go to upscale
restaurants. You are particular and fussy about the things you buy, own,
and wear. Things have to be just right. You like to be pampered. You are a
prima donna. There's just no pleasing you. Kill yourself now.

| Posted by ~Stephy~ on 14-Aug-2005 | Keeping the Organ SafeA priest went into the country to pay a visit to a 92 year old church
member he hadn't seen in years. She welcomed him into the parlor. While
she made tea, he looked around and saw a beautiful oak pipe organ with a
cut glass bowl sitting on top of it. The bowl was half filled with water
and a condom was floating on top. Astonished and shocked, he quickly
turned away. But after tea, his curiosity got the best of him and he asked
her about it. "Oh, yes," she said enthusiastically. "While in town last
year, I found a package on the sidewalk. The directions on the back said
to keep wet and put on your organ to prevent disease. And you know, I
think it works. I haven't had a cold all winter."
