# What the f**k?!?!?!?
I saw this on the front page and spent at least 5 minutes trying to find something in it to make me laugh.... Then I got my colleague involved... he also stared blankly for a few minutes..... Now things are getting out of hand 'cos more and more people in the office are staring blankly at this image on their monitors.... Please someone explain it for me before the whole business grinds to a halt....

# A yank friend of mine
was invited to his bird's parents' posh house in the country for a party, he asked her how he should dress, "Fancy" was the response.

So he decided to go as Travelling Plaid Man, wearing plaid/tartan shirt, suit, tie, shoes, socks, pants and hat and carrying a selection of tartan luggage.

Turns out she meant "fancy" as in "smart" and poor Johan got very embarrassed when he turned up for the swanky do.

B3ta is better than Prozac. Worst of all, tho, I have no photoshop, and I can't get access to any hosting sites cos I work in Fort Knox.


not quite, but with this firewall, I may as well

# Mine are very good, actually
Some of the newer ones have far fewer side effects. I had a hard time on Prozac but I'm on Zispin now, which is very good.
Although the best thing for me was therapy - expensive, but fantastically good.
And, looking back, splitting up with my GF at the time was also good for me. You need to start thinking about just yourself, not worrying about others. Although I realise it'll be hard. There is light at the end of the tunnel though.
