2:21 p.m.: Engadgement Rings & French Porn

While getting my mail yesterday I noticed a flyer taped to the wall advertising a moving sale. Underneath the bold type stating that �Everything Must Go�: was a list of the various possessions up for sale:

37 inch television � like new $100

Queen bed with frame $50

Two matching oak book cases $25 ea.

Play Station 2 with various games $50

1.5 caret diamond engagement ring $4,700

The pain of a broken relationship diminished somewhat by a yard sale, another difficult situation solved with simplicity and grace.

Friday at work one of my bosses proceeded to tell me that he had our computer technician over at his house the previous night to take a look at his laptop. Supposedly, the computer guy found out what was slowing down the machine. Four French porn movies had �somehow� been downloaded onto the computer, and were taking up more then their fair share of space. How, I wondered do four French porn movies find their own way onto someone�s computer. Usually things of this nature take a certain amount of initiative by the computer owner: find a website, click Download Movie Now, that sort of thing. But this was my boss, one of the people that signs my checks so I smiled and said �Boy, what hackers won�t do to get a laugh�.
