Spanish singer Julio Iglesias was on television with British TV host Anne Diamond when he used the word "manyana".
Diamond asked him to explain what it meant.
He said that the term means "maybe the job will be done tomorrow, maybe the next day, maybe the day after that. Perhaps next week, next month, next year. Who cares?"
The host turned to Irishman Shay Brennan, who was also on the show and asked him if there was an equivalent term in Irish.
"No. In Ireland we don't have a word to describe that degree of urgency", replied Brennan.

(Deep breath ......)
Thanks folks.
As silly as that joke is, it was my Dad's (the real Argo53's) favourite St. Paddy's joke. For as long as I can remember, he would call me every March 17th and lead off with that joke. Then the first part vanished and it simply morphed into "Paddy O'Furniture". That was our code for all things Irish and St. Paddy's in particular. Haven't told it in a couple years ... but thought it was time I dusted it off - and remembered the good times.
Thanks for helping me keep the memory alive. (Man, I am actually crying now... but to coin a phrase "I cry for happy!")Courage is not the absence of fear but acting in spite of it.

Someone was asking for the Comfortably Numb tour code, it says here on my stream window thingie that it is Q107.
Hope everyone is enjoying Beer-o'clock all day long for St. Patty's Day! I had some green brewski for lunch today, but to think I was going back to work, I run into my supervisor and he says we should go to the graduate pub for some celebrations! Definitely no scientific breakthrough today, must take a break.

One day a man walked in a bar with a box. He sat down, opened the box and out popped a leprechaun. The man told the bartender, "I want a Rolling Rock and a shot of whiskey for my buddy here."
There was man sitting at the end of the bar watching all of this and, after the leprechaun drank his shot of whiskey, he ran down to the end of the bar and spit in the guy's face. Then he ran back.
The guy with the box said, "I'll have another Rolling Rock and a shot of whiskey for my buddy here."
After the leprechaun drank his shot of whiskey, he again ran to the end of the bar and spit in the man's face, then dashed back.
The guy with the box ordered another beer for himself and another shot for the leprechaun. Again, the after the leprechaun drank his shot of whiskey, he ran down to the end of the bar. But this time the man was waiting for him and he grabbed the leprechaun and held him in the air.
He said, "If you spit in my face again, I'm going to cut your pecker off."
The leprechaun laughed and said, "Leprechauns don't have peckers."
Then the man said, "If you don't have peckers, then how do you pee?" "We spit"

A lonely woman, aged 70, decided that it was time to get married. She put an ad in the local paper that read:
HUSBAND WANTED!
MUST BE IN MY AGE GROUP (70's),
MUST NOT BEAT ME,
MUST NOT RUN AROUND ON ME,
AND MUST STILL BE GOOD IN BED!
ALL APPLICANTS PLEASE APPLY IN PERSON.
On the second day she heard the doorbell. Much to her dismay, she opened the door to see a gray-haired gentleman with no arms or legs sitting in a wheelchair. The old woman said, "You're not really asking me to consider you, are you? Just look at you.... you have no legs!" The old man smiled, "Therefore I cannot run around on you!"
She snorted. "You don't have any hands either!" Again the old man smiled, "Nor can I beat you!"
She raised an eyebrow and gazed intently. "Are you still good in bed?" With that, the old gentleman leaned back, beamed a big broad smile and said, "I rang the doorbell, didn't I?"

Sorry about the length of my third and final installment. I found it too funny not too share. I have to admit, it is likely the same way I'd have handled it,,,
This is a true story from the WordPerfect helpline. Needless to say, the help desk employee was fired; however, he/she is currently suing the Word Perfect organization for "Termination without Cause."
Actual dialogue of a former WordPerfect Customer Support employee with a caller:Customer Support: "Ridge Hall computer assistant; may I help you?"
Caller: "Yes, well, I'm having trouble with WordPerfect."
CS: "What sort of trouble?"
C: "Well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden the words went away."
CS: "Went away?"
C: "They disappeared."
CS: "Hmm. So what does your screen look like now?"
C: "Nothing."
CS: "Nothing?"
C: "It's blank; it won't accept anything when I type."
CS: "Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you get out?"
C: "How do I tell?"
CS: "Can you see the C: prompt on the screen?"
C: "What's a sea-prompt?"
CS: "Never mind. Can you move the cursor around on the screen?"
C: "There isn't any cursor, I told you, it won't accept anything I type."
CS: "Does your monitor have a power indicator?"
C: "What's a monitor?"
CS: "It's the thing with the screen on it that looks like a TV. Does it have a little light that tells you when it's on?"
C: "I don't know."
CS: "Well, then look on the back of the monitor and find where the power cord goes into it. Can you see that?"
C: "Yes, I think so."
CS: "Great. Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it's plugged into the wall."
C: ".......Yes, it is."
CS: "When you were behind the monitor, did you notice that there were two cables plugged into the back of it, not just one?"
C: "No."
CS: "Well, there are. I need you to look back there again and find the other cable."
C: ".......Okay, here it is."
CS: "Follow it for me, and tell me if it's plugged securely into the back of your computer."
"I can't reach."
CS: "Uh huh. Well, can you see if it is?"
C: "No."
CS: "Even if you maybe put your knee on something and lean way over?"
C: "Oh, it's not because I don't have the right angle - it's because it's dark."
CS: "Dark?"
C: "Yes - the office light is off, and the only light I have is coming in from the window."
CS: "Well, turn on the office light then."
C: "I can't."
CS: "No? Why not?"
C: "Because there's a power outage."
CS: "A power... A power outage? Ah, Okay, we've got it licked now. Do you still have the boxes and manuals and packing stuff your computer came in?"
C: "Well, yes, I keep them in the closet."
CS: "Good. Go get them, and unplug your system and pack it up just like it was when you got it. Then take it back to the store you bought it from."
C: "Really? Is it that bad?"
CS: "Yes, I'm afraid it is."
C: "Well, all right then, I suppose. What do I tell them?"
CS: "Tell them you're too stupid to own a computer."

I see that we have many winners in here today! Wonderful news!
Congratulations to all of you!
I am thinking Mr Kim aka 'O-Patio green lanterns will have 10k to share!
He is due and am I way overdue for a call from Q! A winning call that is
Thank you for the codes and words! I will rep when & where I can, as I found myself back in rep jail last night.
I needed a break so I snuck out at lunch and overcame the urge to put the top down on my car! Interestingly, the police were busy pulling cars over, and 2/3 were convertibles...with their tops down. Didn't see them get stopped so no way of knowing why. My guess is speeding and that helped to encourage my return to work!
I do hope if any of you are going partying, you will be wise and not drive. Here I am a poet and I didn't even know it!
I know I do not hold a candle to you SillyLoocie! You are the supreme being in poetic talent!
F.Y.I. Ride programs are in full force since before noon. Play safe friends, and have fun! That way you can tell us all about it, that is, if you remember any of it!
Cheers!
