    Time to start looting the office! Start small and on your last day anything is fair game. It might not get you any financial gain but it'll make you feel better.

    I'm sick hearing about the recession too but as it's on, nobody is doing anything fun. Viscious cycle really. (mental note: go for a viscious cycle instead of thinking about the recession)

    Three old men were sitting on a park bench comparing notes on the problems of growing old.

    The first said he couldn't remember the last time he had a good bowel movement.

    The second one said his problem was more with his bladder and prostate.

    The third old man laughed and said he must be the lucky one. "Every morning at seven I pee, and then at eight I have a good dump," he told them. " I just wish I could wake up before nine."

    .

    Remember in these hard times, your health is your wealth. You're young and can take it all on the chin


    Being poor sucks, but, you still have your own teeth ;)

    I reckon with very little effort, this thread could descend into a four yorkshire men type debate...

    FIRST YORKSHIREMAN: In them days we was glad to have the price of a cup o' tea. SECOND YORKSHIREMAN: A cup o' cold tea. FOURTH YORKSHIREMAN: Without milk or sugar. THIRD YORKSHIREMAN: Or tea.

    A German retiree is taking a hospital to court after she went in for a leg operation and got a new anus instead, the Daily Telegraph is reporting.

    The woman woke up to find she had been mixed up with another patient suffering from incontinence who was to have surgery on her sphincter.

    The clinic in Hochfranken, Bavaria, has since suspended the surgical team.

    Now the woman is planning to sue the hospital. She still needs the leg operation and is searching for another hospital to do it.
