Update: I thought I felt better. It was my body playing a trick on me! For some good clean halloween jokes (for all ages) please visit Daz'd & Confused.

I'm still home sick with the Flu... oh joy!

I hope all of you enjoy scaring the stuffin out of each other. I've been home all weekend with my little pumpkin (that's one of my pet names for him) who had the flu and is now better.

Hope it's a fun day!

Because I can never refuse a request from a handsome military man, who works tirelessly defending our country and protecting it's citizens, I'm publishing a couple of jokes that got me in trouble yesterday.

Eleven people were hanging on a rope under a helicopter, ten men and one woman. The rope was not strong enough to carry them all, so they decided that one has to leave, otherwise they are all going to fall. They were not able to name that person, until the woman held a very touching speech.

She said that she will voluntarily let go of the rope, because as a woman she is used to giving up everything for her husband and kids, or for men in general, without ever getting anything in return.

As soon as she finished her speech, all the men started clapping their hands.......

There's more jokes in the extended entry. Afterwards go congratulate the good Sgt. on his upcoming achievement of his half millionth visitor.
more...

When participating in a global teleconference from your desk, don't ever visit humorous sites, especially VW's Humor for Dreaded Wednesday. If you absolutely must visit, please remember to MUTE your phone! Otherwise the conference host just might ask you to share the humor with the group.

UPDATE: Another important reminder: When sitting on teleconferences back to back make sure that you GO TO THE BATHROOM before signing on to your next meeting, otherwise it will be another hour before you can go. Your co-workers will definitely not appreciate seeing a puddle beneath your seat.

Over 2 years ago I told a funny story about using a phrase whose meaning was shifted in translation because of the country that I was working in at the time. Well, it seems that I've done it again. Only this time with a work colleague. I really meant to be helpful and spare him a bit of embarrassment as we stood there in the pantry. Well, it seems that in giving him a private message in French, a language virtually no one else on our floor spoke, I said something that in colloquial French meant something slightly different. So while I tried to tell him that his zipper was undone, I said instead 'I'd like to undo your zipper'. Sigh!

Sometimes I think I should just stick to English, IÂ’d definitely do better.
