The internet will be shut down permanently today.

You're all going to have to find something else to do.

Ok, see you later.

1. Seriously. When I worked in a high profile position at a major hotel,
this obviously mentally challenged woman told me the president of the company killed her lover 30 years prior. They had to transcript my call, because she promised to come snuff the office. The CEO called me to discuss the phone call.

Anyways, since I wouldn't offer her snuff money, she was going to shut down the Nebraska internets, and some other states I don't recall. I knew she was harmless. But I had to call the number back since the CEO asked. It was a nursing home. And she was going to snuff people who were already passed away.

Sometimes sick people aren't funny. They're just sick.

There but for the Grace of God, or whatever higher being, go you or I.

4. He was wrong!
Actually it is only temporary and your morning commute should not be seriously affected if you simply obey the cyper cops and stick to the detours. You will have to get off at the next exit and turn left under the internet. Go straight until you have traveled through all of the NSA roadblocks. Then follow the corporate marketing route signs. Pretty easy, really.

You are welcome

5. I used to wait for the bus with this guy
...who lived in the duplex where Lee Harvey Oswald once lived. He really did live there and it really was the Dallas duplex where Oswald lived. The creepy part was the way the guy kept going on about wanting to be a podiatrist. The day he asked me if he could look at my feet...well, after that I started to take an earlier bus.

Creepy single gal stories. Gotta love em.
