Dear IT Support
Eighteen months ago I upgraded to Girlfriend 1.0 from Drinking Mate 4.2
which I'd used for years without any trouble. However, there are apparently conflicts between these two products and the
only solution was to
try and run Girlfriend 1.0 with the sound turned off.
To make matters worse, Girlfriend 1.0 is also incompatible with several other applications, such as Lads Night Out 3.1, Football 2 and
Playboy 6.1. Successive versions of Girlfriend proved no better. A shareware
beta-programme, Party Girl 2.1 which I tried had many bugs and left a virus in my system, forcing me to shut down completely for
several weeks. Eventually I tried to run Girlfriend 1.2 and Girlfriend 1.0 at
the same time, only to discover that when these two systems detected each other they caused severe damage to my hardware.
Sensing a way out, I then upgraded to Fiance 1.0, only to discover that this product soon had to be upgraded (at great cost) to Wife 1.0,
which I reluctantly agreed to because, whilst Wife 1.0 tends to use up all
my available resources, it does come bundled with FreeSex Plus and
Cleanhouse 2000.
Shortly after this upgrade however, I then discovered that Wife 1.0 can be very unstable and costly to run. For example, any mistakes I made
were automatically stored in Wife 1.0's memory and could not be deleted.
They then resurfaced months later when I had forgot about them.
Wife 1.0 also has an automatic Diary Explorer and E-mail porn filter,and can, without warning, launch Photostrop and
Whingezip! These latter products have no help files and I have to try and guess what
the problem is myself.
Additional costly problems are that Wife 1.0 needs updating regularly, requiring Shoe Shop Browser for new attachments and also Hairstyle
Express which needs to be reinstalled every other week.
Wife 1.0 also spawns unwelcome child processes that also drain my resources. It also conflicted with some of the new games I wanted to try,
stating that they are an illegal operation.
When Wife 1.0 attaches itself to my Audi TT programme it often crashes or runs the system dry. Wife 1.0 also has a rather annoying
pop-up called Mother-in-Law, which can't be turned off.
Recently I've attempted to try Mistress 2002, but there could be problems - a friend has alerted me to the fact that if Wife 1.0
detects the presence of Mistress 2002 it tends to delete all my MS Money files before un-installing itself.
Any Ideas ?

RE: Christmas Party
I'm happy to inform you that the company Christmas Party will take place on December 23, starting at noon in the private function room
at the Grill House. There will be a cash bar and plenty of drinks!
We'll have a small band playing traditional carols... feel free to sing along. And don't be surprised if our CEO shows up dressed as
Santa Claus!
A Christmas tree will be lit at 1:00pm. Exchange of gifts among employees can be done at that time, however, no gift should be over
$10.00 to make the giving of gifts easy for everyone's pockets. This gathering is only for employees!
A special announcement will be made by our CEO at that time!
Merry Christmas to you and your family.

RE: Holiday Party
In no way was yesterday's memo intended to exclude our Jewish employees.
We recognize that Chanukah is an important holiday, which often coincides with Christmas, though unfortunately not this year. However,
from now on we're calling it our "Holiday Party." The same policy applies to any other employees who are not Christians or those still
celebrating Reconciliation Day. There will be no Christmas tree present.
No Christmas carols sung. We will have other types of music for your enjoyment. Happy now?
Happy Holidays to you and your family.

RE: Holiday Party
Regarding the note I received from a member of Alcoholics Anonymous requesting a non-drinking table... you didn't sign your name. I'm
happy to accommodate this request, but if I put a sign on a table that reads, "AA Only", you wouldn't be anonymous anymore. How am I
supposed to handle this? Somebody?
Forget about the gifts exchange, no gifts exchange are allowed since the union members feel that $10.00 is too much money and executives
believe $10.00 is a little chintzy.
NO GIFTS EXCHANGE WILL BE ALLOWED.

RE: Holiday Party
What a diverse group we are! I had no idea that December 20 begins the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which forbids eating and drinking during
daylight hours. There goes the party! Seriously, we can appreciate how a
luncheon at this time of year does not accommodate our Muslim employees' beliefs. Perhaps the Grill House can hold off on serving your
meal until the end of the party - or else package everything for you to take it home in little foil doggy baggy. Will that work?
Meanwhile, I've arranged for members of Weight Watchers to sit farthest from the dessert buffet and pregnant women will get the table closest
to the restrooms. Gays are allowed to sit with each other. Lesbians do not have to sit with Gay men, each will have their own table. Yes, there
will be flower arrangement for the Gay men's table. To the person asking
permission to cross dress, no cross dressing allowed though. We will have
booster seats for short people. Low-fat food will be available for those
on a diet. We cannot control the salt used in the food. We suggest for those people with high blood pressure to taste first. There will be fresh
fruits as dessert for Diabetics; the restaurant cannot supply "No Sugar"
desserts. Sorry!
Did I miss anything?!?!?

RE: The #$%*!@% Holiday Party
Vegetarians?!?!?!? I've had it with you people!!! We're going to keep this party at the Grill House whether you like it or not, so you can sit
quietly at the table furthest from the "grill of death," as you so quaintly put it, and you'll get your #$%^&*! salad bar, including
organic tomatoes. But you know, tomatoes have feelings, too. They scream
when you slice them. I've heard them scream. I'm hearing them scream right NOW!
I hope you all have a rotten holiday! Drive, drink and die, you hear me!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!

RE: Patty Lewis and Holiday Party
I'm sure I speak for all of us in wishing Patty Lewis a speedy recovery and I'll continue to forward your cards to her. In the meantime,
management has decided to cancel our Holiday Party and give everyone the
afternoon of the 23rd off with full pay.
Happy Holidays!

A wealthy hospital benefactor was visiting the local hospital. During her
tour of the floors she passed a room where a male patient was masturbating.
"Oh my GOD!" said the woman. "That's disgraceful. Why is he doing that?"
"The doctor that was leading the tour explained, "I am sorry, but this man
has a very serious condition where the testicles rapidly fill with semen.
If he doesn't do that five times a day, they'll explode and he will die within minutes."
"Oh, that's terrible," said the woman. In the very next room they could see that a female nurse was performing oral sex on a different male
patient.
OH my GOD!" said the woman, "How can that be justified?"
The doctor replied, "Same illness, better health plan."
He said . . . I don't now why you wear a bra; you've got nothing to put in
it.
She said . . . You wear pants don't you?
He said . . . Since I first laid eyes on you, I've wanted to make love to
you really badly.
She said . . . Well, you succeeded!
He said . . .Shall we try swapping positions tonight?
She said . . . That's a good idea - you stand by the ironing board while I
sit on the sofa and fart!
He said . . . What have you been doing with all the grocery money I gave
you?
She said . . .Turn sideways and look in the mirror!
He said . . . Why don't you tell me when you have an orgasm?
She said . . . I would but you're never there.

One day in the future, George Bush has a heart attack (or chokes on a pretzel, whatever takes your
fancy) and dies. He immediately goes to hell,where the devil is waiting for him. I don't know what to do here," says the devil.
"You are on my list, but I have no room for you. You definitely
have to stay here, so I'll tell you what I'm going to do. I've got a couple folks here who weren't quite as bad as you. I'll let
one of them go, but you have to take their place. I'll even let YOU decide who leaves." Bush thought that sounded pretty good,
so the devil opened the First room:In it was Richard Nixon and a large pool of water. He kept diving in and surfacing empty
handed. Over and over and over. Such was his fate in hell. "No," George said. "I don't think so. I'm not a good swimmer and
I don't think I could do that all day long."The devil led him to the next room:
In it was Ronald Reagan with a sledge hammer and
a room full of rocks. All he did was swing that hammer, time after time after time. "No, I've got this problem with my
shoulder. I would be in constant agony if all I could do was break rocks all day," commented George. The devil opened a third
door: In it, Bush saw Bill Clinton, lying on the floor with his arms tied over his head, and his legs restrained in a spread-eagle
pose.Bent over him was Monica Lewinsky, doing what she does best. Bush took this in with disbelief and finally said, "Yeah, I
can handle this." The devil smiled and said.........
OK, Monica, you're free to go.!!!!!!!!!

The teacher gave her fifth year class an assignment: Get your parents to tell you a story with a moral at the end of it. The next day the kids came back and one by one began
to tell their stories.
Ashley said, "My father's a farmer and we have a lot of egg laying hens. One time we were taking our eggs to market in a basket on the front seat of the truck when we hit a big bump in the road and all the eggs went flying and broke and made a mess. "What's the moral of the story?" asked the teacher" Don't put all your eggs in one basket!" "Very good," said the teacher.
Next little Sarah raised her hand and said, "Our family are farmers too. But we raise chickens for the meat market. We had a dozen eggs one time, but when they hatched we only got ten live chicks, and the moral to this story, "don't count your chickens before they're hatched." "That was a fine story, Sarah."
"Johnny, do you have a story to share?" "Yes, miss, my daddy told me this story about my Aunt Karen. Aunt Karen was a flight engineer in Desert Storm and her plane got hit. She had to bail out over enemy territory and all she had was a bottle of whiskey, a machine gun and a machete. She drank the whiskey on the way down so it wouldn't break, and then she landed right in the middle of 100 enemy troops. She killed seventy of them with the machine
gun until she ran out of bullets. Then she killed
twenty more with the machete till the blade broke. And
then she killed the last ten with her bare hands."
"Good heavens," said the horrified teacher, "what kind of moral did your daddy tell you from that horrible story?"
"Stay the fuck away from Aunt Karen when she's been drinking."

HOW TO STOP PEOPLE FROM BUGGING YOU ABOUT GETTING MARRIED
Old aunts used to come up to me at weddings, poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me, "You're next." They stopped after I
started doing the same thing to them at funerals.
Three women die together in an accident and go to heaven. When they get there, St. Peter says, "We only have one rule here in heaven...don't step on the ducks!"
So they enter heaven, and sure enough, there are ducks all over the place. It is almost impossible not to step on a duck, and although they try
their best to avoid them, the first woman accidentally steps on one. Along
comes
St. Peter with the ugliest man she ever saw. St. Peter chains them together and says "Your punishment for stepping on a duck is to spend eternity chained to this ugly man!"
The next day, the second woman steps accidentally on a duck, and along comes St. Peter, who doesn't miss a thing, and with him is another extremely
ugly man. He chains them together with the same admonishment as for the first woman.
The third woman has observed all this and, not wanting to be chained for all eternity to an ugly man, is very, VERY careful where she steps. She manages to go months without stepping on any ducks, but one day St. Peter comes up to her with the most handsome man she has ever laid eyes
on - very tall, long eyelashes, muscular, and thin.
St. Peter chains them together without saying a word. The woman remarks, "I wonder what I did to deserve being chained to you for all of eternity?"
The guy says, "I don't know about you... but I stepped on a duck!"
A guy and a girl meet at a bar. They get along so well that they decide to
go to the girl's place. A few drinks later, the guy takes off his shirt and
then washes his hands. He then takes off his pants and washes his hands.
The girl watches him and says, "You must be a dentist."
The guy, surprised, says "Yes ... how did you figure that out?"
The girl says, "Easy... you keep washing your hands."
One thing led to another and they make love. After they were done, the girl says, "You must be a great dentist."
The guy, now with a boosted ego says, "Yes, I sure am a great dentist...
How did you figure that out?"
The girl says, "Easy... I didn't feel a thing!"
