I need you to off a guy. In return, I'll transplant my fat into your body. Deal?
I'm skinny too. Lock me in a room playing that Heineken commercial over and over and I'll murder the country for you after about 5 minutes.

Automated voice mail greetings are getting longer and longer. I think the carriers are doing it to run up the minute count.

That's not possible, is it? Your company just UPDATED to a four year old version of Microsoft's browser?

One possibility:
Compatibility with corporate software is a major deterrent to upgrading for many corporations.

They've been in the process of upgrading us to windows 7, and they're making IE 7 the new standard to phase out 6. They're also no longer allowing people to use Firefox or Chrome which is going to suck. I think 7 has tabbed browsing though at least. I don't know why it took MS so long to implement that when every other browser had it from the start.

I had more trouble than usual finding ways to waste my life with one means out of action.

My federal tax return was so big that my bank rejected the ACH deposit from the Feds.

Now they have to mail me a paper check :(

Do you remember just how old IE6 is? Firefox caught on loooong after IE6 and IE7 had tabbed browsing before Chrome even existed.

I think Opera was the first mainstream browser to have tabbed browsing, but it's *really* stretching to call Opera "mainstream."

Fml, they evacuated the building because of a fire and I had to hobble down 14 flights of stairs on my still-bad knee.

I'll bet they do that in 2nd and 3rd world countries, as well. In fact, it's probably much more common in 2nd and 3rd world countries.
