    Hey /jen,
    
    	Mebbe this will help.....
    
>> Why are there floatation devices under plane seats, instead of parachutes?
    
    In case of a crash you might want to keep you seat when landing on
    water. It a comfartable way down.
    
>> Why is brassiere singular and panties plural?
    
    Because the 'brassiere' goes around your 'chest' [ singular ] while the
    'panties' go around your 'legs' [plural]...
    
>> If you tied a buttered toast to the back of a cat and dropped it from a 
>> great height, what will happen?
    
    Nothing. cause a cat always lands on its feet.... ( Ask Holly.. )
    
    hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.........
    
    Ravi.
    *8pppppp
    
    
    
    

    I have a box of instant water....... what do I mix it with???

    Do you go blind when the prescription runs out on your glasses?
    
    
    BTW.. there is a whole article somewhere (if I can find it I'll enter
    it) on what happens if you put a piece of buttered bread (which always
    falls butter side down) on a cat (who always lands on their feet)........ 
    
    
    
    they float!

/gina,

don't come any closer with that loaded toast, my cat has
a nervous disposition!!

BTW... where do we send the obscene faxes for your big day??

:)
joyce

    Then there's -- 
    
    Can I just do it 'till I need glasses?

    
    One of my favorites.....
    
        "Can I pay my Visa with my Mastercard?"

    	For a minute there I thought we were playing Jeopardy
    
	"And the question is" Which NFL Football team lost the last three
    	Superbowls?"
    
    	As for stress relief I suggest you Billls fans get a new football

    My secret stress relievers:

        - running
        - a nice big excellent tempered glass of German wheat beer
        - a nice big excellent tempered glass of Guinness Stout
        - a nice big excellent tempered glass of Sam Adams cream stout
        - a big portion of Chocolate and Cappucino icecream
        - and a night full of sleep and sweet dreams
    
    Best works: all of the above

    It's Oriental Day today down in our canteen... they are playing this
    very strange Oriental music, that's very stress relieving...

    
    
    I worked at Sharp electronics for a while and they used to pipe
    oriental music through the offices .. very strange !!
    
    
    
    Shell

    
    Yeh it sounded really weird

    
    
    You do get used to it after a while but even so its a bit perculiar to
    listen to that type of music while you're eating your fish & chips ;-)

    Well they had all chinese food.... so I s'pose it was ok
