I went to the butchers the other day and I bet him $50 that he couldn’t reach the meat off the top shelf. He said, ‘no, the steaks are too high.’ Why couldn’t the chicken find her eggs? Because she mislaid them. Does the name Pavlov ring a bell? Old bookkeepers never die, they just lose their figures. ## – Sewermonger Sewermonger’s Profile: [http://forums.novell.com/member.php?userid=63](http://forums.novell.com/member.php?userid=63) View this thread: [http://forums.novell.com/showthread.php?t=451381](http://forums.novell.com/showthread.php?t=451381) ---
