Your link or whatever it is doesn't seem to work... at least on my computer.
It seems to be trying to download the entire internet... my 80 gig hard drive just won't hold it

You will need to down load it to floppy discs.

Floppy discs...Now there's a blast from the past. Are they still available outside antique shops

And you'll only need 17 093 776 700 of them. Floppies are 3 mm thick so the entire stack would be 51 281 km high. Perhaps not such a hot idea after all, that stack of disks would pose a serious threat to the GPS satellites

Two tourists were driving through Louisiana. As they were approaching Natchitoches, they started arguing about the pronunciation of the town. They argued back and forth until they stopped for lunch. As they stood at the counter, one tourist asked the blonde employee, "Before we order, could you please settle an argument for us? Would you please pronounce where we are... very slowly?" The blonde girl leaned over the counter and said, "Burrrrrrrr, gerrrrrrr, Kiiiiing." Ok, you probably already heard it? Smitty

Ok, for us marvelous mature guys:

YOU KNOW YOU'RE GETTING 'MARVELOUSLY MATURE' WHEN.............

1. You and your teeth don't sleep together.
2. Your try to straighten out the wrinkles in your socks and discover you aren't wearing any.
3. At the breakfast table you hear snap, crackle, pop and you're not eating cereal.
4. Your back goes out but you stay home.
5. When you wake up looking like your driver's license picture.
6. It takes two tries to get up from the couch.
7. When your idea of a night out is sitting on the patio.
8. When happy hour is a nap.
9. When you're on vacation and your energy runs out before your money does..
10. When you say something to your kids that your mother said to you and you always hated it.
11. When all you want for your birthday is to not be reminded of your age.
12. When you step off a curb and look down one more time to make sure the street is still there. 13. Your idea of weight lifting is standing up.
14. It takes longer to rest than it did to get tired.
15. Your memory is shorter and your complaining lasts longer.
16. Your address book has mostly names that start with Dr.
17. You sit in a rocking chair and can't get it going.
18. The pharmacist has become your new best friend.
19. Getting "lucky" means you found your car in the parking lot.
20. The twinkle in your eye is merely a reflection from the sun on your bifocals.
21. It takes twice as long to look half as good.
22. Everything hurts, and what doesn't hurt - doesn't work.
23. You look for your glasses for half an hour and they were on your head the whole time.
24. You sink your teeth into a steak - and they stay there.
25. You give up all your bad habits and still don't feel good.
26. You have more patience, but it is actually that you just don't care anymore.
27. You finally get your head together and your body starts falling apart.
28. You wonder how you could be over the hill when you don't even remember being on top of it.
Smitty

No! You have to dowload it directly into your veins!

SmithCraft64: I loved the Natchitoches one!
This remembered me a joke about an spaniard trying to explain a portuguese waiter he wanted strawberries for dessert. He insisted on saying "frrrreeeessssaaas" (fresa=straberry) louder and slower time after time, while the confused waiter answered each time he din't understand at all (in portuguese the word is 'morangos' but some spaniards tend to think portuguese is a distorted way of speaking spanish)

Cheers.

Hey SmithCraft - I don't find that funny - it's a reflection of my life....

Reminds me of a quote by - and here I display examples of the fading memory - Mick Jagger, who said "I don't do drugs anymore - I get just as big a buzz by standing up too quickly..."

On the language bit Guillermo (and I can say this because my wife is Chinese): Diner to Chinese waiter - "Waiter, this duck is rubbery..."
"Ah, thank you velly much sir...."

That explains it, when she moans Bergalia in her sleep, I thought she was talking about the plants she had in the shade house.

Now come to think of it they're Bergonias.

I realised she'd been sleeping with another man when he kept kicking me out of bed.
