Here's a collection of material from my scrapbook
that's not appropriate for a page by itself and won't fit in any other
category: Women
1. It is important to find a
woman that cooks and cleans.
2. It is important to find a woman that makes good money.
3. It is important to find a woman that likes to have sex.
4. It is important that these three women never meet.
Spelling Checkers
I have a spelling checker
I disk covered four my PC.
It plane lee marks four my revue
Miss steaks aye can knot see.
Eye ran this poem threw it.
Your sure real glad two no.
Its very polished in its weigh,
My checker tolled me sew.
A checker is a blessing.
It freeze yew lodes of thyme.
It helps me right awl stiles two reed,
And aides me when aye rime.
Each frays comes posed up on my screen
Eye trussed too bee a joule.
The checker pours o'er every word
To cheque sum spelling rule.
Bee fore wee rote with checkers
Hour spelling was inn deck line,
Butt now when wee dew have a laps,
Wee are not maid too wine.
And now bee cause my spelling
Is checked with such grate flare,
There are know faults in awl this peace,
Of nun eye am a wear.
To rite with care is quite a feet
Of witch won should be proud,
And we? mussed dew the best wee can,
Sew flaws are knot aloud.
That's why eye brake in two averse
Cuz Eye dew want too please.
Sow glad eye yam that aye did bye
This soft wear four pea seas.
From The Economist Style Guide
Never use a metaphor, simile or other figure of speech
which you are used to seeing in print.
Never use a long word where a short one will do.
If it is possible to cut out a word, always cut it out.
Never use the passive where you can use the active.
Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word or a
jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent.
Break any of these rules sooner than say anything
outright barbarous.
Marketing
You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her
and say, "I'm fantastic in bed." That's Direct Marketing.
You're at a party with a bunch of friends and see a
gorgeous girl. One of your friends goes up to her and pointing at you says,

and get her telephone number. The next day you call and say, "Hi, I'm fantastic

You're at a party and see a gorgeous girl. You get up
and straighten your tie; you walk up to her and pour her a drink. You open the

And...
- Have you noticed, women have two complaints: Nothing to wear and not enough
closet space for it.
- A
panda walks into a cafe. He orders a sandwich, eats it, draws a gun and fires. As
he is on his way out, the waiter asks him why. The panda hands him a badly
punctuated wildlife manual. The waiter reads, "Panda: Large black-and-white
bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."
- Nancy goes to the gynaecologist and he examines her.
He says, "You have acute vaginitis."
She says, "Thank you."
