This is for you married guys...

________________________________

My wife and I were watching Who Wants To Be A Millionaire while we were in bed.
I turned to her and said, 'Do you want to have Sex?'
'No,' she answered.
I then said, 'Is that your final answer?'

... She didn't even look at me this time, simply saying, 'Yes..'
So I said, "Then I'd like to phone a friend."

And that's when the fight started...

________________________________

I took my wife to a restaurant.

The waiter, for some reason, took my order first.

"I'll have the rump steak, rare, please."
He said, "Aren't you worried about the mad cow?"
"Nah, she can order for herself."

And that's when the fight started.....

_____________________________

My wife and I were sitting at a table at her high school
reunion, and she kept staring at a drunken man swigging his
drink as he sat alone at a nearby table.

I asked her, "Do you know him?"
"Yes", she sighed,
"He's my old boyfriend. I understand he took to drinking
right after we split up those many years ago, and I hear he
hasn't been sober since."

"My God!" I said, "Who would think a person could go on
celebrating that long?"

And then the fight started...

________________________________

When our lawn mower broke and wouldn't run, my wife kept hinting to me that I should get it fixed.
But, somehow I always had something else to take care of first, the shed, the boat,
making beer.. Always something more important to me.

Finally she thought of a clever way to make her point.
When I arrived home one day, I found her seated in the tall grass, busily snipping away with a tiny pair of sewing
scissors. I watched silently for a short time and then went into
the house. I was gone only a minute, and when I came out again
I handed her a toothbrush.

I said, "When you finish cutting the
grass, you might as well sweep the driveway."

The doctors say I will walk again, but I will always have a limp.

_____________________________

My wife sat down next to me as I was flipping channels.
She asked, "What's on TV?"
I said, "Dust."

And then the fight started...

________________________________

Saturday morning I got up early, quietly dressed, made my lunch, and slipped quietly into the garage. I hooked up the
boat up to the van and proceeded to back out into a torrential
downpour. The wind was blowing 50 mph, so I pulled back into the garage, turned on the radio, and discovered that the weather
would be bad all day.

I went back into the house, quietly undressed, and slipped back into bed. I cuddled up to my wife's back;
now with a different anticipation,
and whispered, "The weather out there is terrible."

My loving wife of 5 years replied, "And, can you believe my stupid husband is out fishing in that?"

And that's how the fight started...

_______________________________

My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary.
She said, "I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 150 in about 3 seconds."

I bought her a bathroom scale.

And then the fight started......

______________________________

After retiring, I went to the Social Security office to apply
for Social Security. The woman behind the counter asked me

for my driver's License to verify my age. I looked in my pockets

and realized I had left my wallet at home. I told the woman that

I was very sorry, but I would have to go home and come back later.

The woman said, 'Unbutton your shirt'.
So I opened my shirt revealing my curly silver hair.

She said, 'That silver hair on your chest is proof enough for me' and she processed my Social Security application.

When I got home, I excitedly told my wife about my experience at the Social Security office.

She said, 'You should have dropped
your pants. You might have gotten disability too.'

And then the fight started...

________________________________

My wife was standing nude, looking in the bedroom mirror.

She was not happy with what she saw and said to me,
"I feel horrible; I look old, fat and ugly. I really need you
to pay me a compliment.'

I replied, "Your eyesight's damn near perfect."

And then the fight started........

________________________________

I rear-ended a car this morning...the start of a REALLY bad day!

The driver got out of the other car, and he was a DWARF!!
He looked up at me and said 'I am NOT Happy!'
So I said, 'Well, which one ARE you then?'

That's how the fight started.

________________________________

One year, I decided to buy my mother-in-law a cemetery plot
as a Christmas gift...

The next year, I didn't buy her a gift
When she asked me why, I replied,
"Well, you still haven't used the gift I bought you last year!"

And that's how the fight started.

Last year, I was diagnosed with Central Apnea. My doctor was puzzled, as typically one gets Central Apnea (as apposed to normal obstructive apnea), from either severe head trama, or brain surgery. He asked me if I had had any severe head trama. I thought for a moment, and said "No, but I have been married for 20 years, does that count?"

True story.

Plaza 8 booth is going qiute well, much MUCH has been accomplished lately. Even got all the spare consoles and projectors to storage!!

Apparently at least on some level, the distribs have noticed prints coming back in resonable condition(MUCH unlike before) and prints are actually going to other places after us now. Or maybe that's just the scarcity of prints. Either way, The gm said that NEVER happened before I showed up. All prints went to Denver.

We've recieved 2 brand new prints in the last couple of weeks as well! Cloudy w/a chance of Meatballs 2 and The Millers.

Things are looking up overall too, looks like our chain may be buying the local Drive-in meaning discounted digital projectors also meaning at MINIMUM Plaza gets 2 digitals over winter. I'll also pretty much be running that drive in. Fancy times in the kingdom!!

A man walk up to his parked car and finds the rear bumper panel badly crushed. He notices a note on his windshield. He opens the note and it reads, I am very sorry I rammed your car. I was texting while at the same time trying to park...my bad. Please accept my sincere apologies. All the by-standers who are watching me write this note think I am leaving my name and number for you to contact me; they are mistaken."

After going thru a battery of tests to find out why I am out of breath and get chest pains as well as incapacitating fatigue after only mild exertion, the doctors were stumped. All tests all came out with no obvious cause. So it was more extensive tests, this time in the hospital with the most sophisticated equipment but to no avail. I was getting pretty frustrated and after the last barrage of tests, I asked the doctors what was there conclusion. They both seemed quite upset that they had no definitive answer for me.

That's when I said, "Hey guys -- don't let it bother you; I am sure you will figure it out at the autopsy."

They didn't see the humor.

True story.

Buy it, use it, break it, fix it,
Trash it, change it, mail - upgrade it,
Charge it, point it, zoom it, press it,
Snap it, work it, quick - erase it,

No one else listens to Daft Punk? This song is a goofy one, but if you work with computers or projectors, it will stick in your head. It actually gets into the song at about 45 seconds.

Daft Punk - Technologic
