Warning.

The following has appeared in the Canadian Radiation Protection Association bulletin.

The heaviest element known to science was recently identified by scientist at the National Radiation Council Research center (NRC). The element, tentatively named "administratium", has no protons or electrons and thus has an atomic number of 0. However it does have one neutron, 125 assistant neutrons, 75 vice-neutrons and 11 assistant vice-neutrons. This gives it an atomic mass of 212. These 212 particles are held together in a nucleus by a force that involves the continuous exchange of meson-like particles called morons. Since it has no electrons, administratium is inert. However it can be detected chemically since it impedes every reaction it comes in contact with. According to the discoverers a minute amount of administratium causes a reaction to take four days to complete, when it would normally occur in less than one second. 

Administratium has a normal half-life of approximately three years, at which time it does not actually decay, but instead under goes a reorganisation in which assistant neutrons, vice neutrons and assistant vice-neutrons change places. Some studies have shown that the atomic weight usually increases after each reorganisation. Research at other laboratories indicate that administratium occurs naturally with increased levels of education. It tend to concentrate at certain points such as government agencies, large corporations, universities and NRC, and can actually be found in the newest, best maintained buildings. Scientists point out that administratium is known to be toxic at any level of concentration, and can easily destroy any productive reactions where it is allowed to accumulate. 

Attempts are being made to determine how administratium can be controlled to prevent irreversible damage, but results to date are not promising due to delays in correlating the data.

Copied this, it is too true to leave out.

Bat's to you too

A vampire bat came flapping in from the night covered in fresh blood, and parked himself on the ceiling of the cave to get some sleep.

Pretty soon all the other bats smelled the blood and started hassling him about where he got it. He told them to piss-off and let him get some sleep.

However, they persisted until he finally gave in.
"Okay, follow me," he said as he flapped out of the cave with hundreds of bats behind him.
Down through a valley they went, across a river and into a forest of trees.
Finally he slowed and all the other bats excitedly milled around him.

"Now, do you see that tree over there?" he asked.
"YES, YES, YES!" all the other bats screamed in a frenzy.

"GOOD," shouted the bat, "BECAUSE I FUCKING DIDN'T!"

CODE OF PRACTICE

  • Rome did not create a great empire by having meetings, they did it by killing all those who opposed them. (we do the opposite by having meetings and getting rid of those who know what they are doing)
  • If you can stay calm, while all around you is chaos...then you probably haven't completely understood the seriousness of the situation.
  • Doing a job RIGHT the first time gets the job done. Doing the job WRONG fourteen times gives you job security.
  • Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.
  • Artificial Intelligence is no match for Natural Stupidity.
  • A person who smiles in the face of adversity...probably has a scapegoat.
  • Plagiarism saves time.
  • If at first you don't succeed, shut your eyes.
  • Never put off until tomorrow what you can avoid altogether.
  • If you don't do anything, you won't be blamed changing something.
  • TEAMWORK...means never having to take all the blame yourself.
  • The beatings will continue until morale improves.
  • Never under-estimate the power of very stupid people in large groups.
  • We waste time, so you don't have to.
  • Hang in there, retirement is only thirty years away!
  • A snooze button is a poor substitute for no alarm clock at all.
  • When the going gets tough, the tough take a coffee break.
  • INDECISION is the key to FLEXIBILITY.
  • Aim Low, Reach Your Goals, Avoid Disappointment & fit the company profile.

Having a bad day?

For all of you who occasionally have a really bad day when you just need to take it out on someone!  Don't take that bad day out on someone you know, take it out on someone you DON'T know!...

Now get this. I was sitting at my desk, when I remembered a phone call I had to make.  I found the number and dialed it.  A man answered saying, "Hello?"
I politely said, "This is Fred Hanifin and could I please speak to Robin Carter?"
Suddenly the phone was slammed down on me! I couldn't believe that anyone could be that rude.  I tracked down Robin's correct number and called her.  She had transposed the last two digits incorrectly.

After I hung up with Robin, I spotted the wrong number still lying there on my desk.  I decided to call it again. When the same person once more answered, I yelled "You're an asshole!" and hung up.

Next to his phone number I wrote the word "asshole," and put it in my desk drawer. Every couple of weeks, when I was paying bills, or had a really bad day, I'd call him up.  He'd answer, and I'd yell, "You're an asshole!"  It would always cheer me up.

Later in the year the Phone Company introduced caller ID.  This was a real disappointment for me, I would have to stop calling the asshole. 
Then one day I had an idea. I dialed his number, then heard his voice, "Hello?" I made up a name. "Hi. This is the sales office of the Telephone
Company and I'm just calling to see if you're familiar with our caller ID program?"  He went, "No!" and slammed the phone down.  I quickly called him back and said, "That's because you're an asshole!"

The reason I took the time to tell you this story, is to show you how if there's ever anything really bothering you, you can do something about it.
Just dial 823-4863!!

Keep reading this, it gets better!

An old lady at the shopping center really took her time pulling out of the parking space. I didn't think she was ever going to leave.  Finally, her car began to move and she started to very slowly back out of the slot. 

I backed up a little more to give her plenty of room to pull out. "Great", I thought, she's finally leaving.  All of a sudden this black BMW comes flying up the parking isle in the wrong direction and pulls into her space. 

I hit the horn and started yelling, "You can't do that. I was here first!"
The guy climbed out of his BMW completely ignoring me.  He walked toward the shopping center as if he didn't even hear me.

I thought to myself, this guy's an asshole, there sure is a lot of assholes in this world.  Then I noticed he had a "For Sale" sign in the back window of his car.  I wrote down the number.  Then I hunted for another place to park.

A couple of days later, I'm sitting at my desk. I had just gotten off the phone after calling 823-4863 and yelling, "You're an asshole!" (It's really easy since I have his number on speed dial now!)  I noticed the phone number of the guy with the black BMW lying on my desk and thought I'd better call this guy, too.  After a couple rings someone answered the phone and said, "Hello."  I said, "Is this the man with the black BMW for sale?"
"Yes, it is."
"Can you tell me where I can see it?"
"Yes, I live at 1802 West 34th street. It's a yellow house and the car's parked right out front." I said, "What's your name?"
"My name is Don Hansen."
"When's a good time to catch you, Don?"
"I'm home in the evenings."
"Listen Don, can I tell you something?"
"Yes,"
"Don, you're an asshole!" And I slammed the phone down.

After I hung up I added Don Hansen's number to my speed dialer. I must say, for a while things seemed to be going much better for me.  Now when I had a problem I had two assholes to call. Then, after several months of calling the assholes and hanging up on them, it just wasn't as enjoyable as it used to be.  I gave the problem some serious thought and came up with a solution:

First, I had my phone dial asshole #1.  A man answered nicely saying, "Hello?"
I yelled "You're an asshole!", but I didn't hang up.
The asshole said, "Are you still there?"
I said, "Yeah."
He said, "Stop calling me."
I said, "Make me."
He said, "What's your name, Pal?"
So I told him, "Don Hansen."
He said, "Where do you live?"
"1802 West 34th Street. It's a yellow house and my black BMW's parked
out front."
I'm coming over right now, Don. You'd better start saying your prayers."
"Yeah, like I'm really scared, asshole!" and I hung up.

Then I called asshole #2.
He answered, "Hello?"
I said, "Hello, asshole!"
He said, "If I ever find out who you are..."
"You'll what?"
" I'll kick your ass."
"Well, here's your chance. I'm coming over right now, asshole!"
And I hung up.

Then I picked up the phone and called the police. I told them I was at 1802 West 34th Street and that I was going to kill my gay lover as soon as I got home.

Another quick call to Channel 13 about the gang war going on down on West 34th Street.

After that I climbed into my car and headed over to 34th Street to watch the whole thing.  Glorious satisfaction!
Watching two assholes kicking the crap out of each other in front of 6 squad cars, a police helicopter and a news crew was one of the greatest experiences of my life!
