Money issues were handled by whoever was banker in 'Monopoly.'

It wasn't odd to have two or three 'best' friends.

Being old referred to anyone over 20.

You remember when razor scooters were cool.

Linux == Pedos


REUTERS - A team of scientists at MIT have discovered a link between desktop operating system choice and several serious social and mental disorders. The team did a wide-ranging survey across three states of 20,000 males and 10,000 female users ages 18 to 25, drawn from users of three popular desktop operating systems; Microsoft Windows, Apple OS X and Linux. The volunteers were divided into groups according to their operating system and subjected to a series of tests meant to determine their individual IQs as well as cognitive, social and behavioral abnormalities.

The results of the testing showed that the group with the highest mean IQ by some margin was the Linux test group, averaging at 117, levels expected of good undergraduate students.The Windows and Apple groups averaged at 103 and 101 respectively, well within expected ranges. The Linux group showed highly elevated levels of several socio-cognitive disorders including several linked to pedophilia and violent outbursts, while the Apple group seemed to be the most socially adjusted. The Apple group were also determined to be more likely to be musicians or consider themselves artists and had a higher proportion of homosexuals, at 43%, than either the Windows or Linux groups, who were both closer to the expected average of 9%.

España es un bar

¿Alguna vez se han planteado cómo nace un pueblo?. Pues muy fácil.

Llega un tío a un desierto, pone un bar, y alrededor empiezan a

construir casas. ¡Por lo menos en España!.

La prueba es que en España hay pueblos sin escuela, sin ayuntamiento,

sin farmacia, sin cuartelillo...., pero sin bar...¡Ni de coña!. Claro

que, por lo menos, allí es donde te dan más cuartelillo.... ¿Y saben cuál

es el motivo?. Que en los bares podemos hacer muchísimas cosas no

podemos hacer en casa..

En un bar puedes tirar al suelo las cabezas de las gambas...

Tíralas en casa y verás la que se lía... en el bar tiras las cabezas de

las gambas y las tapan con serrín. ¿Qué se cae una cerveza?. ¡La tapan

con serrín! ¿Qué se cae un borracho?.¡Lo tapan con serrín!. ¡Será por

serrín!. Otra cosa no, pero en un bar hay más serrín que en la tumba de Pinocho.

Sin embargo, hay otras cosas que haces mejor en casa que en el bar: ¡mear!.

Para entrar en el baño del bar tienes que hacerlo con katiuskas.

Claro que, de vez en cuando, se pasa el dueño y echa en el suelo un

poquito de serrín.

Pero es que la taza también está guarra, porque nadie tira de la

cadena... Y estoy seguro de que si en un bar tiras de la cadena cae serrín.

El bar también sirve para quedar con los colegas. Porque mi casa

es tan pequeña que sólo cabemos tres (y sin el móvil), Y, claro ¿dónde vas

a quedar si no? ¿En una ferretería?. ¿En la farmacia? ¿Y que vas a pedir,

tres chupitos de Bisolvon y dos lexatines?. ¿O en la Iglesia?..Y eso..

que... pensándolo bien...una iglesia es lo más parecido a un bar...

Hay un señor detrás de una barra, vino, música, gente... y a veces hay

hostias...

Y los domingos, a la hora del aperitivo, los dos sitios se ponen hasta el culo.

Eso sí, en los bares hay más buen rollito que en la Iglesia...

Porque mientras que en la Iglesia pasa un tío con una panera para que

sueltes algo, en el bar discutes por pagar. ¿Dónde más pasa eso?. ¿En la

Comunidad de vecinos?. ¿Se imaginan que discutiéramos por invitar en la

Comunidad de Vecinos, por ejemplo?:

- ¡Chssst!. La parabólica la pago yo.

- Pero si tú ya pagaste la caldera...

- ¡Qué más da!... ¡Si no vamos a salir de pobres!.

Y otra cosa: tu casa ¿cómo se llama?. Pues "tu casa" o como mucho "4º-C".

¡Y anda que no hay "cuartos ces"!. En cambio, los bares tienen

nombres fascinantes_ El Barbi-túrico, el Bár-bara-Rey, la Tasca-breao.

Yo debo PELAS en todos, pero en donde más debo en el Bar-Clays Bank.

Eso sí, en un bar, lo más importante es el camarero. Los camareros

se pueden dividir básicamente en dos tipos: el camarero ÁGIL... y el

AGIL-apollado. El AGIL, según entras por la puerta, te limpia la mesa,te

acerca el servilletero, te pone una caña y te dice:

- Van dos cero, gana el Madrid, ha bajado el índice Dow Jones y el

político menos valorado es Mayor Oreja... ¿te pongo una de oreja?.

El AGIL-apollado se reconoce porque parece que esté saliendo de la anestesia: ni te oye, ni te ve. Tú le estás haciendo señas, como si

estuvieras aparcando un avión, pero el tío pasa por tu lado sin

mirarte, como un médico de la Seguridad Social. Que entras por la mañana,

y cuando por fin te hace caso...

- A ver. ¿qué va a ser?.

- ¿Que qué va a ser...? ¡Dentro de nada de noche, huevazos!.

Pero donde el bar alcanza la gloria es cuando hay partido. El bar

es el TEMPLO DEL FUTBOL. Antes había unos carteles en los que se leía:

"Estupendos berberechos", "Tenemos nécoras deliciosas". Ahora

no, ahora ponen: "HOY: DEPOR-REAL MADRID..." Y en todo el día no se habla

de otra cosa... Nada más entrar pides una caña y el camarero te dice:

"Morientes tiene osteopatía de pubis". Y ésa es la gran diferencia

entre el bar y tu casa: nunca se discute por el mando. En el bar no hay

zapping: Si hay partido, se ve el partido; si hay patinaje artístico, se

ve el partido; si hay "Informe Semanal", se ve el partido; y si hay peli

porno en el Plus... ¡Se graba el partido!.

Frosted Brains

A blonde called her boyfriend and said, "Please come over here and
help me. I have a killer jigsaw puzzle, and I can't figure it out or how to
get it started." Her boyfriend asked, "What is it supposed to be when
it's finished?" The blonde said, "According to the picture on the box,
it's a tiger." Her boyfriend decided to go over and help with the puzzle.
She let him in and showed him where she had the puzzle spread all over
the table. He studied the pieces for a moment, then looked at the box,
then turned to her and said, "First of all, no matter what we do, we're
not going to be able to assemble these pieces into anything resembling
a tiger.
He took her hand and said, "Second, I want you to relax. Let's have a nice
cup of hot chocolate and then...", He sighed, ...
"Let's put all these Frosted Flakes back in the box."

Santa Banned


Wed Nov 14, 11:04 PM ET

SYDNEY (AFP) - Santas in Australia's largest city have been told not to use Father Christmas's traditional "ho ho ho" greeting because it may be offensive to women, it was reported Thursday.

Sydney's Santa Clauses have instead been instructed to say "ha ha ha" instead, the Daily Telegraph reported.

One disgruntled Santa told the newspaper a recruitment firm warned him not to use "ho ho ho" because it could frighten children and was too close to "ho", a US slang term for prostitute.

"Gimme a break," said Julie Gale, who runs the campaign against sexualising children called Kids Free 2B Kids.

"We are talking about little kids who do not understand that "ho, ho, ho" has any other connotation and nor should they," she told the Telegraph.

"Leave Santa alone."

A local spokesman for the US-based Westaff recruitment firm said it was "misleading" to say the company had banned Santa's traditional greeting and it was being left up to the discretion of the individual Santa himself.
