Memory was something you lost with age

An application was for employment

A program was a TV show

A cursor used profanity

A keyboard was a piano

A web was a spider's home

A virus was the flu

A hard drive was a long trip on the road A mouse pad was where a mouse lived

This is strange...can you figure it out?  Just follow the instructions carefully.

Do the following exercise - it's guaranteed to raise an eyebrow. There's no trick or surprise. All that you need to do is answer the questions one at a time and as quickly as you can.

Again, as quickly as you can but don't advance until You've done each item.

Now, scroll down (but not too fast, you might miss something.)

1a) Think of a number from 1 to 10

1b) Multiply that number by 9

The London restaurant was renowned for its elegance, with plush furnishings and exquisite chandeliers. Meals were served on china plates and drinks poured into crystal goblets.

Everything was perfect one day as a guest began to enjoy her meal. But the food needed just a touch of salt. Reaching for the beautiful silver shaker, she quickly discovered that it contained pepper. In fact, both silver shakers contained pepper.

She signaled to the waiter-who politely informed her that she must be mistaken because each table always had one salt shaker and one pepper shaker. The woman quietly picked up the first shaker and sprinkled a little pepper on the side of her plate. Then she picked up the second shaker and did the same.

The waiter was aghast. He apologized profusely, then rushed to bring a salt shaker. He returned with the maitre d', who offered complimentary desserts to atone for the mistake.

"My goodness," the woman said, somewhat embarrassed by the attention. "It's not that important. It was just a simple mix-up."

"But, Madame," the maitre d' replied, "what if you had been the queen?"

Comedian Red Skelton was once on a plane flying high over Europe. As the aircraft approached the Swiss Alps, three of its four engines suddenly failed. The plane began rapidly losing altitude, and passengers began praying for their lives.

Skelton jumped up from his seat and began performing one of his funniest routines to distract the passengers from seemingly imminent death. At the last minute, the pilot found a flat area between the mountains and managed a hair-raising landing that left everyone safe and sound.

As the plane came to a stop, Skelton finished his act by saying, "Now, ladies and gentlemen, you may return to all the evil habits you gave up 20 minutes ago."

'The thrill, the excitement is gone from my marriage,' George complains to his mate, Tony.

'Why not add some intrigue to your life and have an affair?' suggests Tony naughtily.

'But what if my wife finds out?' frowns George.

'Lummee, George,' explains Tony, 'this is the 21st century we live in, mate. Go ahead and tell her about it.'

So George returns home and says, 'Poppet, I think an affair will bring us closer together.'

'Forget it,' replies his wife. 'I've tried that - it didn't work.'
