My theory is that anytime you are paying for a service, Cable TV, Internet connection, telephone, etc, and they want you to rent the hardware, they are going to make more money on the hardware than on the service.

If you rent a Cable Box for 5 years at $5 a month, you should be able to buy one, with better functions, for less than $3000.00 you would have paid in rental.
very nice, Mortis!

Sure, if you are projecting 50 years out... that's fine. While I generally agree with you (I bought a TiVo) there are other considerations. Also, keep in mind money today is always worth more than money tomorrow.

If your wife keeps coming out of the kitchen to nag at you, what have you done wrong?

An old man goes to the doctor and says, "Doctor, I have this problem with farting, but it really doesn't bother me too much. They never smell and are always silent. As a matter of fact, I've farted at least 20 times since I've been here in your office. You didn't know I was passing wind, you see, cause, as I say, they're odourless and noiseless."

The doc says, "I see. Take these pills and come back next week."

Next week the man goes back. "Doc", he says, "I don't know what you gave me, but now when I fart they're still silent, but they stink terribly."

"Good" the doc said, "Now that we've cleared up your sinuses, let's get to work on your hearing"

Time Warner (Road Runner) doesn't give you the option, you have to use their modem, and it’s included in the cost of the service. It would be naïve to think that you’re not paying for it.

T-shirt truths.


The average pilot, despite the somewhat swaggering exterior, is very much capable of such feelings as love, affection, intimacy and caring.


These feelings just don't involve anybody else.

A BLOKE sees a sign in front of a house: "Talking Dog for Sale."

He rings the bell and the owner tells him the dog is in the backyard, so he goes out there and sees a black mutt just sitting there.

"You talk?" he asks.

"Sure do," the dog replies.

"So, what's your story?"

The dog looks up and says, "Well, I discovered my gift of talking pretty young and I wanted to help the government, so I told the MI5 about my gift, and in no time they had me jetting from country to country sitting in rooms with spies and world leaders.

"I was one of their most valuable spies eight years running because no one thought a dog would be eavesdropping.

"The jetting around really tired me out, and I knew I wasn't getting any younger and I wanted to settle down. So I signed up for a job at the airport to do some undercover security work, mostly wandering near suspicious characters and listening in."

"I uncovered some incredible dealings there, was awarded a string of medals, had a wife, a load of puppies, and now I'm just retired."

The guy is amazed. He goes back in and asks the owner what he wants for the dog. The owner says, "10 quid."

The guy says, "This dog is amazing. Why on earth are you selling him so cheap?"

"Cos he's a f***ing liar. He's never done any of that stuff"
