Joe thanks for the video. Poor thing must have bumped his head coming in the door. Maybe after finishing the bone he will feel better. LOL

In a magazine:

"Gran-osaurus vexed

I took my granddaughter to see a dinosaur exhibition. She turned to me and said, "Were you around when dinosaurs were here?" I was 70 at the time."

Poles apart.

A friend and I are volunteers at a local National Trust property. On the May Day celebrations the local primary school children were dancing around the maypole. My friend told her granddaughter, who rushed into school and said to her teacher, "Granny has organized pole dancing for the bank holiday!"

Cup Holder

Caller: "Hello is this Tech Support?"

Tech Rep: "Yes it is how may I help you?"

Caller: "The cup holder on my PC is broken and I am within my warranty period. How do I go about

getting that fixed?"

Tech Rep: "I'm sorry but did you say a cup holder?"

Caller: Yes, it is attached to the front of my computer."

Tech Rep: "Please excuse me if I seem a bit stumped, it's because I am. Did you receive this as part

of a promotional, at a Trade Show? How did you get this cup holder? Does it have any Trademark on it?"

Caller: "It came with my computer, I don't know anything about a promotional. It just has '4X on it."

At this point the Tech Rep. had to mute the caller, because he could not stand it.

The Caller had been using the load drawer of the CD-ROM drive as a cup holder, and it snapped off of the drive.

Seniors Road Trip

While on a road trip, an elderly couple stopped at a roadside restaurant for lunch.
After finishing their meal, they left the restaurant and resumed their trip.
When leaving, the elderly woman unknowingly left her glasses on the table and she didn't miss them until they had been driving about twenty minutes.
By then, to add to the aggravation, they had to travel quite a distance before they could find a place to turn around -- in order to return to the restaurant to retrieve her glasses.
All the way back, the elderly husband became the classic grouchy old man.
He fussed and complained and scolded his wife relentlessly during the entire return drive. The more he chided her -- the more agitated he became. He just wouldn't let up one minute. To her relief, they finally arrived at the restaurant.
As the woman got out of the car and hurried inside to retrieve her glasses, the old geezer yelled to her ..

"While you're in there, you might as well get my hat and the credit card."

Jessica your joke made me laugh, not only because of the content but sometimes because of my daily ritual of looking for my glasses frantically, only to find they are on the top of my head. UGH LOL.

Thanks
Marie
