Is your computer male or female?
September 30, 2009
A SPANISH Teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish, unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine.
‘House’ for instance, is feminine: ‘la casa.’
‘Pencil,’ however, is masculine: ‘el lapiz.’
A student asked, ‘What gender is ‘computer’?’
Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two groups, male and female, and asked them to decide for themselves whether computer’ should be a masculine or a feminine noun.. Each group was asked to give four reasons for its recommendation.
The men’s group decided that ‘computer’ should definitely be of the feminine gender (‘la computadora’), because:
1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic;
2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else;
3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later retrieval; and
4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.
(THIS GETS BETTER!)
The women’s group, however, concluded that computers should be Masculine (‘el computador’), because:
1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on;
2. They have a lot of data but still can’t think for themselves;
3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE the problem; and
4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could have gotten a better model..
The women won.
Don’t you just love good T-shirts?
September 24, 2009
I’m a T-shirt and jeans kinda lady most of the time. One of my favorite is my collection of Nirvana T-shirts. Does that surprise you? Well I like all kinds of music and T-shirts. You just have to make sure that what you’re getting is of high quality or they won’t last.
What a rotten day
September 23, 2009
I woke up this morning and just felt like a mac truck had run over me. Don’t you hate that? I sure do. I have a dull headache, body aches and tummy just doesn’t feel quite right either. Man I sure hope I’m not coming down with anything. Maybe it’s just all of this stinking rain that has me feeling all ‘blah’ all over.
Baby will be here soon
September 22, 2009
I swear I’m having more fun buying things for this baby that will be here soon than I have had in years. Sure I love to shop for myself but this is more fun than I imagined it would be. Have you ever heard of Jellycat? They have some of the cutest toys I have ever seen but then again, I never did so much shopping for a little one before either. It’s about like having a present and waiting to unwrap it waiting for this little one.
Barefoot Dreams makes some of the cutest baby wraps and blankets you could ever imagine. Let’s not forget the adorable cardigan and caps they have too. If you’re looking for clothes, Appaman has perfect clothes for the little one too. Their onesies are absolutely darling. I had no idea just how much fun it would be buying baby things. I sure missed out in my younger years = but not anymore.
You have just got to read this. My sister sent it to me and yeah, it fits me most days too. Does that mean that I’m a blond at heart? Some days the answer would be ‘Yes’ but you don’t have to be blond to have those pesky ‘blond moments’.
T-G-I-F vs. S-H-I-T
A businessman got on an elevator. When he entered, there was a blond
already inside who greeted him with a bright,
“T-G-I-F.”
He smiled at her and replied,
“S-H-I-T.”
She looked puzzled and repeated,
“T-G-I-F,” more slowly.
He again answered,
“S-H-I-T.”
The blond was trying to keep it friendly, so she smiled her biggest smile,
and said as sweetly as possibly,
“T-G-I-F.”
The man smiled back to her and once again,
“S-H-I-T.”
The exasperated blond finally decided to explain.
‘T-G-I-F’ means ‘Thank God,It’s Friday.’ Get it, duuhhh?”
The man answered,
“‘S-H-I-T’ means ‘Sorry, Honey, It’s Thursday’– duuhhh.
