If all else fails my advice as an engineer of some 50 years is to apply increasing gentle pressure from 2 pound calibrated lump hammer.

 

That usually fixes the problem. If it doesn't fix the problem quickly then you used a hammer which was either too small or more likely out of calibration.

How do you calibrate the lump hammer to fix windows?  Do you count the lumps on your thumb or keep hitting the keyboard till you get a blue screen of death or do you place the hammer in an empty bay and wait for the message?

Do you not hit the keyboard harder when windows is playing up? Smack the mouse on the desk in frustration. Hit the monitor?

 

Those are all electronic versions of the calibrated hammer.

I was told when I got my 'whatever it is thing' that it was 'plug and play' and that I would be 'hammering away' all day once I got the hang of it.

 

I can never get windows to play down, never mind play up.  I did not know I was meant to hit the keyboard not press the individual keys. Maybe that what they meant by 'hammering away'.

As for smacking the mouse!  I have never maltreated an animal in my life, but I have been worried recently as the cheese I gave the mouse when I first got 'her' has started to go bit moldy and as for the 'monitor'  it hasn't monitored anything since it arrived and given me no entertainment.  Some entertainment center.

 

I think I will give up 'whatever it was called' above and get a 'what the hell is it called' after all. I am told you can pick one up in a bar quite cheap and it will entertain you all night, even if you do have to hammer away at it all night!

 

PS; will the swelling on my thumb, after the calibration, go down after I stop hammering away?

I went to the pub last night and saw a big girl dancing on a table,
I said to her, "Great legs."
The girl giggled and said with a smile "Do you really think so? "
I said "Definitely, most tables would have collapsed by now."

And then the fight started!

Q: Why can't you tell an egg a joke?
A: Because it will crack up.

 

No!  Don't egg us on and exaggerate. The Yolk is always on the egg.

It's because it will all get poached by a toaster (sorry  poster) and the punch line scrambled and then people will get all boiled up so the whole thing ends up as toast.  

Take this with a pinch of salt.

 

As these responses bad enough for this forum?

Owning a new pet fish

Pat: Hey, Chris! How's your new pet fish doing? You told me he was really something special.

Chris: To tell you the truth, I'm really disappointed in him. The guy who sold him to me said I could teach him to sing like a bird.

Pat: You bought a fish because you thought you could teach him to sing like a bird? I can't believe it!

Chris: Well, yeah. After all, he's a parrot fish.

Pat: I hate to tell you this, Chris, but while you might be able to teach a parrot bird to sing, you're never going to get anywhere with a parrot fish.

Chris: That's what you think! He can sing all right. The thing is, he keeps singing off-key. It's driving me crazy. Do you know how hard it is to tuna fish?

Just pick the right scales!

Pun intended.

Apparently, the WW1 poster of Lord Kitchener looks like he is pointing at you from wherever you're standing.

I didn't know, until I had a propaganda at it.

From where I am standing I don't see the point of it?

I don't believe it anyway as you must be making it up!

Happy New Year!

Early I know but I suffer from premature congratulation

As it is Easter weekend and Palm Sunday today and the timing is perfect you must be looking forward to the second coming.

Yes it will.

 

Also the swelling you get from the bar entertainment will also go down, but that may return one or more time during the night (if you get lucky). It will certainly compensate for the mouse, monitor and windows problems that you may have, especially if you close the curtains on windows.

ER. sorry, what was the question?

Easter = Jesus missing in action

 

A  school teacher was teaching a lesson one morning and asked his students where Jesus was.
"Yes Susie" he said as he called on Susie whose hand was raised.
"He's in heaven!" She shouted with pride. Quite correct said the teacher.

He called on Steven who said "He was in his heart" That is also Quite correct said the teacher.


The only boy left with his hand raised  gave this answer "He's in my bathroom!"

Everyone had a puzzled look on his/her face.


"Yeah!" Said the boy.. "My father bangs on the door every morning saying 'Jesus Christ, ya still in there?"

I've done Christianity above (I might re-phrase that!) Here is Buddhism/Sonkran to even it up.

 


 Q: Why don't Buddhists vacuum in the corners?
 A: Because they have no attachments.

 

 So, I hear reincarnation is making a comeback.


Q. What did the Buddhist tell the salesperson who came to his home selling vacuum cleaners?
 A. Too many attachments!

 

  Q. What did the Buddhist say to the sandwich vendor at the ball game?
 A. Make me one with everything!

 After the man received his sandwich, he gave the vendor a $20 bill. The vendor just smiled. The man, infuriated, demanded, "Where is my change."
 The vendor replied, "O, one with everything, change comes from within."

 
 Q: Did you hear about the new low-fat religion?
 A: "I Cant Believe Its Not Buddha"


 Q: What happens when a Buddhist becomes totally absorbed with the computer he is working with?
 A: He enters Nerdvana.


 Q. What did the sign in the monastery searching for new monks say?
 A. Inquire within!


 The Master: I've never met someone so thoughtless in my life. Keep up the good work.
 The disciple: Thank you Master,

 

 I didn't believe in reincarnation the last time, either.

 

 I hear the Dalai Lama recently fired his gardener, who had a degree in carnations but didn't dig reincarnations.

 

 My karma ran over my dogma....

Dear Billd766 - Agony Person

(we are not allowed to say Agony Aunt any more!)

 

Thank you for hammering home these responses to my ignorant questions.

 

The thumb swelling is going down but not as quickly as the bar induced swelling which seems to have a mind of its own and keeps changing direction. One minute up, one down, one in, one out! Is this a new dance routine that my mummy did not warn me about?

 

When I bought the entertainment ‘something or other’ with windows, but no curtains as mentioned earlier, I just paid a lump sum but now I am being told by the new ‘take away’ service at the bar that I am required to make a number of different types of deposits to keep my account open.

 

Can you please advise further.

Last year, I replaced, like, all the windows in my house with those expensive, triple-pane, energy  efficient kind.
Today, I, like, got a call from the contractor who installed them.
He complained that the work had been completed a year ago. and I still hadn't, like, paid for them. OMG, r u kiddin me !
Hellloooo . . . Just because I'm blonde doesn't mean that I'm, like, automatically stupid.
 
So, I told him just what his fast-talking sales guy told me last year ~ that these windows would, like, pay for themselves in a year.
Well Hellooooo Mr. Window Guy ! It's been a year, so they're, like, paid for, I told him.
There was only silence at the other end of the line, so I finally hung up.
He never called back.
I can only imagine that he must've felt like a real flippin idiot.

After to announcement of a UK election a couple of political jokes!

Social Security Sex

Two guys are sitting in a bar. One looks over at the other and asks how his sex life is going.

The second guy looks at him blankly for a moment and replies," Eh, i'm having social security sex."

His buddy looked puzzled for a minute then finally asks "What the hell is social security sex?"

"Yeah well I get a little bit every month but its not enough to live on."

 

Local Government

Once upon a time the council had an unused office in the middle of town. The local councillor said "someone may steal from it at night." So they created a night watchman position and hired a person for the job.

Then the councillor said, "How does the watchman do his job without instruction?" So they created a planning department and hired two people, one person to write the instructions, and one person to do time studies.

 

Then the councillor said, "How will we know the night watchman is doing the tasks correctly?" So they created a Quality Control department and hired two people. One to do the studies and one to write the reports.

 

Then the councillor said, "How are these people going to get paid?" So they created the following positions, a time keeper, and a payroll officer, then hired two people.

 

Then the councillor said, "Who will be accountable for all of these people?" So they created an administrative section and hired three people, an Administrative Officer, Assistant Administrative Officer, and a Legal Secretary.

 

Then the councillor said, "We have just been informed that due to budget cuts we must reduce overheads so they laid off the night watchman.

A few one liners!

 

Why did the MP cross the road? – Because he said he wouldn't.

 

My favorite mythical creature? The honest politician.

 

The consensus after the Brexit referendum is that 100% of Brits think 50% of them have lost their minds.

 

A fine is a tax for doing wrong. A tax is a fine for doing well.

 

I remember when Halloween was the scariest night of the year. Now, it's Election night.

 

I don't approve of political jokes...I've seen too many of them get elected.

 

Political parties are like divorced parents. They care more about getting the kids to hate the other one than they are of their well-being.

 

Don't steal. That's the government's job.

 

Stop repeat offenders. Don't re-elect them!

 

It was so cold I saw a politician with his hands in his own pockets.
