The Three Wise Firefighters........ In a small southern town I came upon was a Nativity Scene that showed great skill and talent had gone into creating it. But one small feature confounded me: All three wise men were wearing firemen's helmets. Totally unable to come up with a reason or explanation for this, I left and pulled into a "Quik Stop" on the edge of town and asked the lady behind the counter about the helmets. She exploded, yelling indignantly: "You darn Yankees never DO read the Bible!" I assured her that I did, but simply couldn't recall anything about firemen in the Bible. She jerked her Bible from beneath the counter and, ruffling through some pages, finally jabbed her finger at a particular passage. Sticking it in my face, she said, "See, it says right here, 'The three wise man came from afar.'" --------------------------------------- Another one, a bit more risque..... Was this a christmas wish list sent to Santa? Last year, my friend upgraded his GirlFriend3.1 to GirlFriendPlus1.0 (marketing name: Fiancee1.0). Recently he upgraded Fiancee1.0 to Wife1.0 and it's a memory hogger, it has taken all his space; and Wife1.0 must be running before he can do anything. Although he did not ask for it, Wife1.0 came with Plug-Ins such as MotherInLaw and BrotherInLaw. Some features I'd like to see in the Upcomming GirlFriend4.0... - A "Don't remind me again" button - Minimize button - Shutdown feature - An install shield feature so that Girlfriend4.0 can be completely uninstalled if so desired (so you don't lose cache and other objects) I tried running girlfriend 2.0 with girlfriend 1.0 still installed, they tried using the same i/o port and conflicted. Then I tried to uninstall girlfriend1.0 but it didn't have an uninstall program. I tried to uninstall it by hand, but it put files in my system directory. Another thing that sucks in all versions of girlfriend that I've used is that it is totally "object orientated" and only supported hardware with gold plated contacts. ***** BUG WARNING ******** Wife 1.0 has an undocumented bug. If you try to install Mistress 1.1 before uninstalling Wife 1.0, Wife 1.0 will delete MSMoney files before doing the uninstall itself.Then Mistress 1.1 will refuse to install, claiming insufficient resources.
