I came home from work one day and my mother was making 
french fries in a Fry Daddy fryer.  I saw her taking out 
soggy french fries and I asked her why is she taking them 
out when they weren't done.  She said the oil keeps 
bubbling up and making a mess.  I just ignored her and went 
into the other room and started to watch Sally Jessy 
Raphael on t.v.  Then I remembered my daughter had just 
refilled my sons bubble blower and the gallon jug you buy 
from Toys R Us looks just like the gallon of oil.  Well 
sure enough.  We almost had bubble fries for dinner. You 
should have seen all the bubbles all over the place.  My 
mother is not usually this senile but this day she outdid 
herself!

"She's the kind of girl you'd like to bring home to mother - If
you could trust your father."

The classically minded among us may have noted a new TV ad for
Microsoft's Internet Explorer e-mail program which uses the
musical theme of the "Confutatis Maledictis" from Mozart's Requiem. 

"Where do you want to go today?" is the cheery line on the screen, while 
the chorus sings "Confutatis maledictis, flammis acribus addictis." For 
those of you who have not studied Latin, this translates to "The damned 
and accursed are consigned to the flames of hell." 

Good to know that Microsoft has done its research!
