Jesus Vs Mohammed
Between moments of dispensing wisdom, it seems that historical religious leaders had also learned software programming. One day, a great contest was held to test their skills. After days and days of fierce competition, only two leaders remained for the last day's event: Jesus and Mohammed. The judge described the software application required for the final test, and gave the signal to start writing code. The two contestants feverishly typed away on their keyboards. Routines, classes, applets and applications flew by on their screens at incredible speeds. Windows, dialogs, and other intricate graphics began forming on their monitors. The clock showed that the contest would soon be finished. Suddenly, a bolt of lightening flashed and the power went out. After a moment it came back on, just in time for the clock to announce that the last competition was over. The judge asked the two contestants to reveal their finished software. Mohammed angrily said that he'd lost it all in the power outage. The judge turned to the other competitor. Jesus smiled, clicked a mouse and a dazzling application appeared on his screen. After just a few moments, the judge was clearly impressed and declared Jesus the victor. When asked why the decision was made, the judge pointed out the unique characteristic that set the winner apart from all the other leaders: Jesus saves.
There was a preacher who was so dull everyone went to sleep. Then one Sunday when he began he wouldn't stop. He preached the paint right of the walls. At the end of his sermon he fell to the floor exhausted. The congregation rushed up to ask him what came over him. He said that he and his wife placed their false teeth by the bed each night and that morning he had put her's in by mistake.
Farmer Joe decided the injuries he sustained in a recent traffic collision were serious enough to sue the trucking company whose driver had been responsible for the accident. In court, the trucking company's fancy lawyer grilled farmer Joe. "Didn't you say at the scene of the accident that you were fine?" asked the lawyer. "Well I'll tell you what happened," farmer Joe responded. "I had just loaded my favorite mule Bessie into the ..." "I didn't ask for any details," the lawyer interrupted tersely. "Just answer the question. Did you or did you not say that you were fine?!" "Well, I had just got Bessie into the trailer and I was driving down the road ..." By this time, the lawyer was red-faced. "Judge," the lawyer said, "I am trying to establish the fact that, at the scene of the accident, this man told he highway patrolman that he was just fine. Now, several weeks after the accident, he is trying to sue my client. I believe he is a fraud. Please instruct this witness to simply answer the question." "No," the judge said. "I'm fairly interested in what he has to say about his favorite mule Bessie." "Thank you, judge," farmer Joe said. "Well, as I was saying, I had just loaded Bessie into the trailer and was driving her down the highway when this huge semitrailer ran the stop sign and smacked my truck right in the side. "I was thrown into one ditch and Bessie was thrown into the other. I was hurting real bad and didn't want to move. But I could hear old Bessie moaning and groaning. I knew she was in terrible shape just by her groans, farmer Joe continued. "Shortly after the accident, the patrolman got there. He could hear Bessie moaning and groaning so he went over to her. After he looked at her, he took out his gun and shot her between the eyes. Then the patrolman came across the road with his gun in his hand and looked at me. "He said, 'Your mule was in such bad shape I had to shoot her. How are you feeling?' "

As you are aware, ships have long been characterized as being female (e.g., "Steady as she goes" or "She's listing to starboard, Captain!").
Recently, a group of computer scientists (all males) announced that computers should also be referred to as being female. Their reasons for drawing this conclusion follow:
Five reasons to believe computers are female:
---------------------------------------------
1. No one but the Creator understands their internal logic.
2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to
everyone else.
3. The message "Bad command or file name" is about as informative as, "If
you don't know why I'm mad at you, then I'm certainly not going to tell you."
4. Even your smallest mistakes are stored in long-term memory for later retrieval.
5. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your
paycheck on accessories for it.
However, another group of computer scientists (all female) think that computers should be referred to as if they were male. Their reasons follow:
Five reasons to believe computers are male:
-------------------------------------------
1. They have a lot of data, but are still clueless.
2. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE the problem.
3. As soon as you commit to one you realize that, if you had waited a little longer, you
could have obtained a better model.
4. In order to get their attention, you have to turn them on.
5. Big power surges knock them out for the rest of the day.

WHAT TO DO WITH ALL THOSE "FREE" SOAPS WHEN TRAVELLING
Dear Maid,
Please do not leave any more of those little bars of soap in my bathroom since I have
brought my own bath-sized Dial. Please remove the six unopened little bars from the shelf
under the medicine chest and another three in the shower soap dish. They are in my way.
Thank you,
S. Berman

Dear Room 635,
I am not your regular maid. She will be back tomorrow, Thursday, from her day off. I took
the 3 hotel soaps out of the shower soap dish as you requested. The 6 bars on your shelf I
took out of your way and put on top of your Kleenex dispenser in case you should change
your mind. This leaves only the 3 bars I left today. My instructions from the management
are to leave 3 soaps daily. I hope this is satisfactory.

Dear Maid...I hope you are my regular maid.
Apparently Kathy did not tell you about my note to her concerning the little bars of soap.
When I got back to my room this evening I found you had added 3 little Camays to the shelf
under my medicine cabinet. I am going to be here in the hotel for two weeks and have
brought my own bath-sized Dial so I won't need those 6 little Camays which are on the
shelf. They are in my way when shaving, brushing teeth, etc.
Please remove them.

Dear Mr. Berman,
My day off was last Wed. so the relief maid left 3 hotel soaps which we are instructed to
leave by the management. I took the 6 soaps which were in your way on the shelf and put
them in the soap dish where your Dial was. I put the Dial in the medicine cabinet for your
convenience. I didn't remove the 3 complimentary soaps which are always placed inside the
medicine cabinet for all new check-ins and which you did not object to when you checked in
last Monday. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.
Your regular maid,
Dotty

future complaints please contact me so I can give it my personal attention. Call extension

Dear Miss Carmen,
It is impossible to contact you by phone since I leave the hotel for business at 745 AM
and don't get back before 530 or 6PM. That's the reason I called Mr. Kensedder last night.
You were already off duty. I only asked Mr. Kensedder if he could do anything about those
little bars of soap. The new maid you assigned me must have thought I was a new check-in
today, since she left another 3 bars of hotel soap in my medicine cabinet along with her
regular delivery of 3 bars on the bathroom shelf. In just 5 days here I have accumulated
24 little bars of soap. Why are you doing this to me?
S. Berman

Dear Mr. Berman,
Your maid, Kathy, has been instructed to stop delivering soap to your room and remove the
extra soaps. If I can be of further assistance, please call extension 1108 between 8AM and
5PM.
Thank you,

Dear Mr. Kensedder,
My bath-size Dial is missing. Every bar of soap was taken from my room including my own
bath-size Dial. I came in late last night and had to call the bellhop to bring me 4 little
Cashmere Bouquets.

Dear Mr. Berman,
I have informed our housekeeper, Elaine Carmen, of your soap problem. I cannot understand
why there was no soap in your room since our maids are instructed to leave 3 bars of soap
each time they service a room. The situation will be rectified immediately. Please accept
my apologies for the inconvenience.

Dear Mrs. Carmen,
Who the hell left 54 little bars of Camay in my room? I came in last night and found 54
little bars of soap. I don't want 54 little bars of Camay. I want my one damn bar of
bath-size Dial. Do you realize I have 54 bars of soap in here. All I want is my bath-size
Dial. Please give me back my bath-size Dial.

Dear Mr. Berman,
You complained of too much soap in your room so I had them removed. Then you complained to
Mr. Kensedder that all your soap was missing so I personally returned them. The 24 Camays
which had been taken and the 3 Camays you are supposed to receive daily. I don't know
anything about the 4 Cashmere Bouquets. Obviously your maid, Kathy, did not know I had
returned your soaps so she also brought 24 Camays plus the 3 daily Camays. I don't know
where you got the idea this hotel issues bath-size Dial. I was able to locate some
bath-size Ivory which I left in your room.

Dear Mrs. Carmen,
Just a short note to bring you up-to-date on my latest soap inventory. As of today I
possess:
- On shelf under medicine cabinet - 18 Camay in 4 stacks of 4 and 1 stack of 2.
- On Kleenex dispenser - 11 Camay in 2 stacks of 4 and 1 stack of 3.
- On bedroom dresser - 1 stack of 3 Cashmere Bouquet, 1 stack of 4 bath-size Ivory, and 8
Camay in 2 stacks of 4.
- Inside medicine cabinet - 14 Camay in 3 stacks of 4 and 1 stack of 2.
- In shower soap dish - 6 Camay, very moist.
- On northweat corner of tub - 1 Cashmere Bouquet, slightly used.
- On northwest corner of tub - 6 Camays in 2 stacks of 3.
Please ask Kathy when she services my room to make sure the stacks are neatly piled and
dusted. Also, please advice her that stacks of more than 4 have a tendency to tip. May I
suggest that my bedroom window sill is not in use and will make an excellent spot for
future soap deliveries. One more item, I have purchased another bar of bath-sized Dial
which I am keeping in the hotel vault in order to avoid further misunderstandings.

There were 3 good arguments that Jesus was Black:
1. He called everyone "brother."
2. He liked Gospel.

it.
3. And even when He was dead, He had to get up because there was work to do.
