			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Attn: Entrepreneurs</strong><br />
Everyone knows that if you are going to operate a business in today’s world you need a domain name. It is advisable to look at the domain name selected <em>as other see it</em> and not just as you <em>think </em>it looks. Failure to do this may result in situations such as the following (legitimate) companies who deal in everyday humdrum products and services but clearly didn’t give their domain names enough consideration:</p>
<p>1. A site called ‘<strong>Who Represents</strong>‘ where you can find the name of the agent that represents a celebrity. Their domain name… wait for it… is<br />
<a href="http://www.whorepresents.com/"><strong>www.whorepresents.com</strong></a></p>
<p>2. <strong>Experts Exchange</strong>, a knowledge base where programmers can exchange advice and views at<br />
<a href="http://www.expertsexchange.com/"><strong>www.expertsexchange.com</strong></a></p>
<p>3. Looking for a pen? Look no further than <strong>Pen Island </strong>at<br />
<a href="http://www.penisland.net/"><strong>www.penisland.net</strong></a></p>
<p>4. Need a therapist? Try <strong>Therapist Finder</strong> at<br />
<a href="http://www.therapistfinder.com/"><strong>www.therapistfinder.com</strong></a></p>
<p>5. Then of course, there’s the<strong> Italian Power Generator</strong> company…<br />
<a href="http://www.powergenitalia.com/"><strong>www.powergenitalia.com</strong></a></p>
<p>6. And now, we have the <strong>Mole Station Native Nursery,</strong> based in New South Wales:<br />
<a href="http://www.molestationnursery.com/"><strong>www.molestationnursery.com</strong></a></p>
<p>7. If you’re looking for computer software, there’s always<br />
<a href="http://www.ipanywhere.com/"><strong>www.ipanywhere.com</strong></a></p>
<p>8. Welcome to the <strong>First Cumming Methodist Church</strong>. Their website is<br />
<a href="http://www.cummingfirst.com/"><strong>www.cummingfirst.com</strong></a></p>
<p>9. Then, of course, there’s these brainless art designers, and their whacky website:<br />
<a href="http://www.speedofart.com/"><strong>www.speedofart.com</strong></a></p>
<p>10. Want to holiday in <strong>Lake Tahoe</strong>? Try their brochure website at<br />
<a href="http://www.gotahoe.com/"><strong>www.gotahoe.com</strong></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last week was my birthday and I didn&#8217;t feel very well waking up on that morning.</p>
<p>I went downstairs for breakfast hoping my wife would be pleasant and say, &#8220;Happy Birthday!&#8221;, and possibly have a small present for me.</p>
<p>As it turned out, she barely said good morning, let alone &#8221; Happy Birthday.&#8221;</p>
<p>I thought&#8230; Well, that&#8217;s marriage for you, but the kids&#8230;. They will remember.</p>
<p>My kids came bounding down stairs to breakfast and didn&#8217;t say a word.<br />
So when I left for the office, I felt pretty low and somewhat despondent.</p>
<p>As I walked into my office, my secretary Jane said, &#8220;Good Morning Boss, and by the way Happy Birthday!&#8221;<br />
It felt a little better that at least someone had remembered.</p>
<p>I worked until one o&#8217;clock, when Jane knocked on my door and said, &#8220;You know, It&#8217;s such a beautiful day outside, and it is your Birthday, what do you say we go out to lunch, just you and me.&#8221;<br />
I said, &#8220;Thanks, Jane, that&#8217;s the greatest thing I&#8217;ve heard all day. Let&#8217;s go!&#8221;</p>
<p>We went to lunch.<br />
But we didn&#8217;t go where we normally would go.<br />
She chose instead a quiet bistro with a private table.<br />
We had two martinis each and I enjoyed the meal tremendously.</p>
<p>On the way back to the office, Jane said, &#8220;You know, It&#8217;s such a beautiful day&#8230; We don&#8217;t need to go straight back to the office, Do We ?&#8221;</p>
<p>I responded, &#8220;I guess not. What do you have in mind ?&#8221;<br />
She said, &#8220;Let&#8217;s drop by my apartment, it&#8217;s just around the corner.&#8221;</p>
<p>After arriving at her apartment, Jane turned to me and said, &#8221; Boss, if you don&#8217;t mind, I&#8217;m going to step into the bedroom for just a moment. I&#8217;ll be right back.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Ok.&#8221; I nervously replied.</p>
<p>She went into the bedroom and, after a couple of minutes, she came out carrying a huge birthday cake &#8230;<br />
Followed by my wife, my kids, and dozens of my friends and co-workers, all singing &#8220;Happy Birthday&#8221;.</p>
<p>And I just sat there&#8230;</p>
<p>On the couch&#8230;</p>
<p>Naked.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One day, an old lady went to the Bank of Canada with a large bag full of money. The old lady insisted on speaking to the president of the Bank in order to open a savings account because, she said, she had a lot of money. After much discussion an employee took her to the office of the president. </p>
<p>The president of the Bank asked her how much she wanted to deposit. She said $165,000. Curious, he asked her how she had saved such a large sum of money. The old lady said she made bets. The president, quite surprised, asked: “Which kind of bets?”. </p>
<p>The old lady said: “For example, I bet you $25,000 that your testicles are square”. The president started to laugh and pointed out that this kind of bet was impossible to win! The old lady replied: “Would you like to make a bet?”. “Certainly”, answered the president, “I can guarantee you that my testicles are not square”. The old lady said to him: “Given the size of the bet, I’ll come back tomorrow at 10 AM with my lawyer as a  witness, if it’s alright with you”. “No problem” said the president. </p>
<p>That evening, the president became very nervous about the bet and spent a long time in front of his mirror examining his testicles, turning them in all directions, again and again, in order to make sure that his testicles could not be seen as square and therefore be sure to win this bet. </p>
<p>On the next day, 10 AM sharp, the old lady arrived with her lawyer at the office of the president. The president then dropped his trousers so that she and her lawyer could see everything. The old lady came closer and asked him if she could touch them. “Of course please do!”, said the president, given the fact that there was so much money involved, “you must be 100% sure.” The lady, smiling, started to do so. </p>
<p>The president looked up to see the lawyer banging his head against the wall. He asked the old lady “What is he doing?” </p>
<p>She answered: “It’s probably because I bet him $100,000 that around 10 AM today, I would be holding the testicles of the president of the Bank of Canada in my hands!”</p>

RE:         Christmas Party </strong></p>
<p>I&#8217;m happy to inform you that the company Christmas Party will take place on December 23, starting at noon in the private function room at the Grill House. There will be a cash bar and plenty of drinks! We&#8217;ll have a small band playing traditional carols&#8230;feel free to sing along. And don&#8217;t be surprised if our CEO shows up dressed as Santa Claus! A Christmas tree will be lit at 1:00pm. Exchange of gifts among employees can be done at that time; however, no gift should be over $10.00 to make the giving of gifts easy for everyone&#8217;s pockets. This gathering is only for employees! Our CEO will make a special announcement at that time! </p>
<p>Merry Christmas to you and your family.<br />

RE:         Holiday Party</strong> </p>
<p>In no way was yesterday&#8217;s memo intended to exclude our Jewish employees.   We recognize that Chanukah is an important holiday, which often coincides with Christmas, though unfortunately not this year. However, from now on we&#8217;re calling it our &#8220;Holiday Party.&#8221; The same policy applies to any other employees who are not Christians or those still celebrating Reconciliation Day. There will be no Christmas tree present. No Christmas carols sung. We will have other types of music for your enjoyment. </p>
<p>Happy now?</p>
<p>Happy Holidays to you and your family.<br />

RE:        Holiday Party </strong></p>
<p>Regarding the note I received from a member of Alcoholics Anonymous requesting a non-drinking table &#8230; you didn&#8217;t sign your name. I&#8217;m happy to accommodate this request, but if I put a sign on a table that reads, &#8220;AA Only&#8221;; you wouldn&#8217;t be anonymous anymore. How am I supposed to handle this? </p>
<p>Somebody?</p>
<p>Forget about the gifts exchange, no gifts exchange are allowed since the union members feel that $10.00 is too much money and executives believe $10.00 is a little chintzy. </p>
<p>NO GIFTS EXCHANGE WILL BE ALLOWED. </p></blockquote>

RE:        Holiday Party </strong></p>
<p>What a diverse group we are! I had no idea that December 20 begins the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which forbids eating and drinking during daylight hours. There goes the party! Seriously, we can appreciate how a luncheon at this time of year does not accommodate our Muslim employees&#8217; beliefs. Perhaps the Grill House can hold off on serving your meal until the end of the party- or else package everything for you to take it home in little foil doggy baggy. Will that work? Meanwhile, I&#8217;ve arranged for members of Weight Watchers to sit farthest from the dessert buffet and pregnant women will get the table closest to the restrooms. Gays are allowed to sit with each other. Lesbians do not have to sit with Gay men, each will have their own table. Yes, there will be flower arrangement for the Gay men&#8217;s table. To the person asking permission to cross dress, no cross-dressing allowed though. We will have booster seats for short people. Low-fat food will be available for those on a diet. We cannot control the salt used in the food we suggest for those people with high blood pressure to taste first. There will be fresh fruits as dessert for Diabetics, the restaurant cannot supply &#8220;No Sugar&#8221; desserts. Sorry! </p>
<p>Did I miss anything?!?!?</p>

RE:         The F#$%ing Holiday Party</strong> </p>
<p>Vegetarian pricks! I&#8217;ve had it with you people!!! We&#8217;re going to keep this party at the Grill House whether you like it or not, so you can sit quietly at the table furthest from the &#8220;grill of death,&#8221; as you so quaintly put it, and you&#8217;ll get your f#$%ing salad bar, including organic tomatoes. But you know, tomatoes have feelings, too. They scream when you slice them. I&#8217;ve heard them scream. I&#8217;m hearing them scream right NOW! I hope you all have a rotten holiday! Drive drunk and die, </p>
<p>The Bitch from HELL!!!!!!!!</p></blockquote>

RE:        Patty Lewis and Holiday Party</strong> </p>
<p>I&#8217;m sure I speak for all of us in wishing Patty Lewis a speedy recovery and I&#8217;ll continue to forward your cards to her. In the meantime, management has decided to cancel our Holiday Party and give everyone the afternoon of the 23rd off with full pay. </p>
<p>Hope to have a get together sometime in the new year maybe mid Summer when all is resolved meanwhile </p>
<p>Happy Holidays! </p></blockquote>
