some real good humor

Post by Oliver Heindorf »

Try this before someone forces Google to fix its site:

1) Go to www.google.de

2) Type in: weapons of mass destruction (DO NOT hit return button!)

3) Hit the "Auf gut Glück" button, NOT the "Google search"

4) Read the "error message" carefully.

Someone at Google has a sense of humour. And will probably be fired

soon...

Waddayamean, "before returning". There's nothing IN Texas to return to! (One of these days I have to remember to annoy everyone on the board by posting my travelogue from my roadtrip vacation at the beginning of the year. You might find the Texas section enlightening. [:'(])

Texas Department of Highway sign posters have a sense of humor..... when I was in 6th through 8th grade my dad was stationed in Texas.

You would be driveing down a straight LONG road with no end in sight. Then suddenly your car would crash into a dip in the road, and low and behold in the bottom of the dip was the warning sign "DIP".

Not sure if it was there cause the highway people were stupid. or if it was an inside joke for the locals.... "ya Hunny. another DIP got had by the dip in the road, har har"

I kinda find the Texas Hill Country one of best places in the US. I plan to go back and retire there eventually.

Nothing to return to my a$$.[:'(]
