    If you have a bible hanging around somewhere, check out the book of proverbs ... some are pretty neat...most aren't "religious" as one would think but just reflections on life in general. Others are about as "sexist" as they get; use to use them on a female classmate who, fortunately, had a hell of a sense of humor.

    I have some in this book at work; I'll post a couple if they translate well, they're in french. There has to be a web site full of them somewhere, I'll see what I can dig up.

    You might also look up some billy Shakespear quotes: Elizabethan English aside, some are really cool and others really deep. I'm not good at remembering things like that though.

    LOL! I'm so jealous!! It ain't fair! I should have the summer off too!

    If you know any women you'd like to tease and who have a sense of humor, check out the book of proverbs in the bible. There are at least a couple of "sage" and very very sexist remarks. Hey, if the bible says it, it must be true LOL! Make sure its a woman with a sense of humor or prepare to have your face slapped!

    I've been lucky the last couple of weeks; a lot of people are on holiday here at this time of year though I've got quite a bit scheduled for tomorrow. Summers also tend to be a bit slower because people have their kids home for the summer. We have a national holiday called "labor day" at the beginning of Sept when kids go back to school and all the schools, colleges and universities start up. When that time comes, I won't even have time to breathe because of all the lay offs at the office. I'll worry about it when the time comes though. How much time do you have off for your summer holiday?

    I once knew a girl named Virginia. We called her Virgin for short, but not for long.
