The Thread

[Raverdave]

I recently picked a new primary care physician. After two visits and exhaustive lab tests, he said I was doing "fairly well" for my age. A little concerned about that comment, I couldn't resist asking him, "Do you think I'll live to be 80?"

He asked, "Do you smoke tobacco or drink beer or wine?"

"Oh no," I replied. "I'm not doing drugs, either."

Then he asked, "Do you eat rib-eye steaks and barbecued ribs?"

I said, "No, my other Doctor said that all red meat is very unhealthy."

"Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf, sailing, hiking, or bicycling?"

"No, I don't," I said.

He asked, "Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or have a lot of sex?"

"No," I said. "I don't do any of those things."

He looked at me and said, "Then why do you give a sh1t?"

I have better jokes but it is early yet.

Actually I have a really good one but I need your permission to send it via Email. I am sure that if I posted it i would be banned in a flash and with me being soooooo close to 5000 posts, I would hate to have to start all over again.

Well, back at work again - and things seem to have undergone a meltdown (again). Not sure when i'll get any work... we might have to hold another NAKED ANIMAL contest, depending on interest and if they can get their act together here or not. i'll keep you posted as to developments...

Meanwhile, in Cats vs. Nik - recriminations are flying in the Cat Camp at there lack of success in doing in Nik. Suspicions have developed between different cat factions...

At least one Cat Commander has realized tactical errors were made:

Their one success came in employing a champion Cat Wrestler to neutralize Nik's bodyguard by "pinning his ears back"!

Well, they have got their act (partially) together and finally brought me some work - so no NAKED ANIMAL Contest today - plan on having one on Monday, though!

Anyone for guess your favorite dictator, general or TV Star? I need three yes votes to get the game going.

Glad to hear things picked up at work Robert. I just got a sales forecast project at work. I HATE sales forecast projects. I swear I could look at the grounds in the bottom of my starbucks coffee and it would be as accurate as any sales forecast ever done.

i'll vote yes - although i am busy at work and not sure i can participate as much as i did last time.

As for the sales forecasts - suggest the Starbuck's method and put in for a bonus based on the cost-cutting and increased accuracy it provides...[:'(]
