You are a sad induvidual my friend. Just because somebody new to email attachments may accidentally open one, does not mean they are a dope. Just because they don't have your vast and extensive knowledge doesn't mean they are dopey. How patronising!
As for jokes - well people send pleasant and sometimes jokey emails because they want to give somebody a smile, but, hey - you probably don't know what being really happy means, and as for smiling, you should try it some time - it is not painful.
see below:
WHY PEOPLE SEND JOKES
=====================
A man and his dog were walking along a road. The man was enjoying the
scenery, when it suddenly occurred to him that he was dead.
He remembered dying, and that the dog walking beside him had been dead for
years. He wondered where the road was leading them.
After a while, they came to a high, white stone wall along one side of the road.
It looked like fine marble. At the top of a long hill, it was broken by a tall
arch that glowed in the sunlight.
When he was standing before it he saw a magnificent gate in the arch that looked
like mother-of-pearl, and the street that led to the gate looked like pure
gold. He and the dog walked toward the gate, and as he got closer, he saw a man
at a desk to one side.
When he was close enough, he called out, "Excuse me, where are we?"
"This is Heaven, sir," the man answered.
"Wow! Would you happen to have some water?" the man asked.
"Of course, sir. Come right in, and I'll have some ice water brought right up.
The man gestured, and the gate began to open.
"Can my friend," gesturing toward his dog, "come in, too?" the traveler asked.
"I'm sorry, sir, but we don't accept pets."
The man thought a moment and then turned back toward the road and continued the
way he had been going with his dog.
After another long walk, and at the top of another long hill, he came to a dirt
road leading through a farm gate that looked as if it had never been closed..
There was no fence.
As he approached the gate, he saw a man inside, leaning against a tree and
reading a book.
"Excuse me!" he called to the man. "Do you have any water?"
"Yeah, sure, there's a pump over there, come on in."
"How about my friend here?" the traveler gestured to the dog.
"There should be a bowl by the pump."
They went through the gate, and sure enough, there was an old-fashioned hand
pump with a bowl beside it.
The traveler filled the water bowl and took a long drink himself, then he gave
some to the dog.
When they were full, he and the dog walked back toward the man who was standing
by the tree.
"What do you call this place?" the traveler asked.
"This is Heaven," he answered.
"Well, that's confusing," the traveler said. "The man down the road said that
was Heaven, too."
"Oh, you mean the place with the gold street and pearly gates? Nope. That's
hell."
"Doesn't it make you mad for them to use your name like that?"
"No, we're just happy that they screen out the folks who would leave their best
friends behind."
Soooo...
Sometimes, we wonder why friends keep forwarding jokes to us without writing a
word.
Maybe this will explain.
When you are very busy, but still want to keep in touch, guess what you do? You
forward jokes.
When you have nothing to say, but still want to keep contact, you forward jokes.
When you have something to say, but don't know what, and don't know how, you
forward jokes.
Also to let you know that you are still remembered, you are still important, you
are still loved, you are still cared for, guess what you get? A forwarded
joke.
So, next time if you get a joke, don't think that you've been sent just another
forwarded joke, but that you've been thought of today and your friend on the
other end of your computer wanted to send you a smile.
You are welcome @ my water bowl anytime . - Posted by: radiospu Posted on: 01/27/06 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
