I ran into this article that made me laugh:
Top five things to hate about Facebook
What it spoke about are things that I am guilty of doing and admit are annoying, but what was funny was the following statement found in the article:

It reminded me of a statement I once heard in a meeting:

Both statements are cool refreshing analogies desperately needed in otherwise useless reports. Thank you for the perverse humor, I get a chuckle out of it every time.

So I got my latest issue of Men’s Fitness and in there was a list of the fittest cities with Colorado Springs leading the way.  Many examples provided such as how a social meet up at CS means meeting at a trail-head is very true.  But you see, it was because I was there blasting on the trails.  Give me a year or so and you will find Austin on the list.

We all know about the Nigerian scam letter, which looks something like this one:

My Dear

Greetings,I know this mail may come to you as a surprise,I am Barrister Mussa Issah the solicitor/counsel to the late Sanni Abacha who was then before his death, the President/Head of State of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Just yesterday his widow wife Mrs. Mariam Abacha called to intimate me of the condition of her family over the pursuance of fund by the Government over the husbands alleged loot.

In fact, She conferred in me that her son was working with a German National only for the German to take advantage of the situation, there by setting her son up in Germany where he went to claim his father deposit. You can verify this fact your self through the German Embassy over an alleged Abacha’s Son, Mr. Abba Abacha trying to pull out the sum of (US$40 M) Forty Million Dollars from the Bank.

At this point in time, She solicited my humble self to look for a reputable gentleman who will be of great assistance to the family and somebody who can take over the sum of $27M (Twenty Seven Million United States Dollars Only)which is presently deposited in a Security Company, for investment. I will later on the course of this transaction disclosed to you the Security Company accordingly.

Thanks for your sincere understanding while looking forward to your positive response/cooperation.

Regards,
Barrister Musa Issah

Well a person turned the tables on the scammer by offering a $100 per handwritten page of a Harry Potter book. The email exchange is hilarious.

Kicking back after soccer practice, I scan the HD channels to see what would be fun to watch. CW had this absolutely hilarious show called the Reaper which was about a man who discovered that his parents had sold his soul to the Devil. Sam, the lead character, must hunt down escaped souls for the devil while holding down a mundane job at a Home Depot look-a-like. What makes this show click is not Sam but the supporting cast. Sock, a co-worker and best friend, is by far the best scene stealer yet. His comedy is very Jack Black and he seemed natural in his delivery. The show is a cross between Ghost Busters and Employee of the Month. That is not saying much but surprisingly Reaper pulls it off with some flair. I finally have a reason to turn on the TV on Tuesday nights. Kind of sad, but oh well.

When you think of the words such as Company Executive Officer or President (LOL, sorry I was just thinking of mr. Bush), you would expect those who hold such titles to maintain a certain level of professionalism and speak with an aura of profoundness. In other words, they should always have the ability to say something better than you, right? HA!

Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. (SIRI) CEO Mel Karmazin sought to allay shareholder concerns at the company’s annual meeting Thursday, saying he was just as disappointed as other investors in Sirius’ lagging stock price. Compared to rival XM (XMSR), however, he said: “We suck less.”

Sure those are simple words and do get the point across, but we expect more or at least prevent those who lead by using the old “you know what I mean” catch all. You gotta love our Bush:

Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we. —Washington, D.C., Aug. 5, 2004

It is funny to see when those who lead are just as prone to slip-ups as the rest of us; but you do cringe a bit when our elected leader(s) slips and slides constantly or just outright makes no sense what-so-ever. Is it 2008 yet?
