Hi all Well it's the American nonsense of Halloween on Saturday, followed next Thursday by the British nonsense of Guy Fawkes. I think if people really understood what these things were about they would not be so keen to celebrate... Anyway, on the cinema circuit this week we have the usual Halloween-style scary movies, for all age groups. The quality is generally average to slightly-above, though this week's Pick of the Week didn't do so well at the US box office last week, and is expected to take a dive this week. There are no previews this week.

Over the years they had shared all kinds of activities and adventures. Lately, their activities had been limited to meeting a few times a week to play cards. One day they were playing cards when one looked at the other and said, 'Now don't get mad at me....I know we've been friends for a long time.....but I just can't think of your name! I've thought and thought, but I can't remember it. Please tell me what your name is.' Her friend glared at her. For at least three minutes she just stared and glared at her. Finally she said, 'How soon do you need to know? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE SENILITY PRAYER Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway, The good fortune to run into the ones I do, and the eyesight to tell the difference. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- These are actual writings from various hospital charts. 1.The patient refused an autopsy. 2.

Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof." The clerk examined the paper and politely told the dog: "There are only nine words here. You could send another 'Woof' for the same price." "But," the dog replied, "then it would make no sense at all." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- A magazine recently ran a "Dilbert Quotes" contest. They were looking for people to submit quotes from their real-life Dilbert-type managers. These were voted the top ten quotes in corporate America: "As of tomorrow, employees will only be able to access the building using individual security cards. Pictures will be taken next Wednesday, and employees will receive their cards in two weeks." (This was the winning quote from Fred Dales, Microsoft Corp. in Redmond WA) "What I need is an exact list of specific unknown problems we might encounter." (Lykes Lines Shipping) "E-mail is not to be used to pass on information or data. It should be used only for company business."

(Advertising/Marketing manager, United Parcel Service) "Doing it right is no excuse for not meeting the schedule ." (Plant Manager, Delco Corporation) "No one will believe you solved this problem in one day! We've been working on it for months.
