There's always one. This has got to be one of the funniest things in a long time. I think this guy should have been promoted, not fired.
This is a true story from the Word Perfect Help line, which was transcribed from a recording monitoring the customer care department.
Needless to say the Help Desk employee was fired; however, he/she is currently suing the Word Perfect organization for 'Termination
without Cause'. Actual dialogue of a former WordPerfect Customer Support employee. (Now I know why they record these conversations!):
Operator: 'Ridge Hall, computer assistance; may I help you?'
Caller: 'Yes, well, I'm having trouble with WordPerfect.'
Operator: 'What sort of trouble??'
Caller: 'Well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden the words went away.'
Operator: 'Went away?'
Caller: 'They disappeared.'
Operator: 'Hmm So what does your screen look like now?'
Caller: 'Nothing.'
Operator: 'Nothing??'
Caller: 'It's blank; it won't accept anything when I type.'
Operator: 'Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you get out??'
Caller: 'How do I tell?'
Operator: 'Can you see the C: prompt on the screen??'
Caller: 'What's a sea-prompt?'
Operator:

I want to make some pain,
Example,section my vein.
I have a fear in my soul,
So today you growl.
My injections are bad,
I'm sitting on my own bed.
I have imagination
About this stupid action,
I'm crying for you.
And for me it isn't new.
I throw away my own life.
You don't aviable my tears,
I can't feel some fears.
So God tekes pain away,
It will be nice and okey.
When we see someone successful, we say that he just got lucky.
"He must have been at the right place at the right time."
People only see one side of the picture. People don’t see the failures.
If you study history, you will find that -
All stories of success are also stories of great failures.
So if you are failing. Remember, success is waiting to happen. (c)

Как правильнее написать второе предложение?
Ghoti is a constructed example used to illustrate irregularities in English spelling. It is a respelling of the word fish, and like fish is pronounced. It has:
gh, pronounced [f] as in tough (or enough);
o, pronounced [i] as in women; and
ti, pronounced [sh] as in nation (or exeption).
The first known published reference is in 1874, citing an 1855 letter that credits ghoti to one William Ollier (born 1824). Ghoti is often cited to support English spelling reform, and is often attributed to George Bernard Shaw, a supporter of this cause. However, a biography of Shaw attributes it instead to an anonymous spelling reformer.

A general store owner hires a young female clerk who likes to wear very
short skirts and thong panties.
One day a young man enters the store, glances at the clerk and glances at
the loaves of bread behind the counter.
Noticing the length of her skirt (or general lack thereof) and the location
of the raisin bread, he has a brilliant idea.
"I'd like some raisin bread please," the man says politely.
The female clerk nods and climbs up a ladder to reach the raisin bread,
which is located on the very top shelf.
The young man standing almost directly beneath her is provided with an
excellent view, just as he surmised he would..
Once she descends the ladder he muses that he really should get two loaves
as he is having company for dinner.
With each trip up the ladder the young lady seems to catch the eye of
another male customer.
Pretty soon, each male customer is asking for raisin bread, just to see the
clerk climb up and down..
After many trips she is tired, irritated and thinking that she is really
going to have to try the bread herself.
Finally, once again atop the ladder, she stops and fumes, glaring at the men
standing below.
She notices an elderly man standing amongst the crowd staring up at her.
Thinking to save herself a trip, she yells at the elderly man, "Is yours
raisin too?"
"No," croaks the old man, "but it's a quiverin."
An offer NOT to be missed! I thought this was a hoax at first...

COCONUT CRAB:
The coconut crab is a large edible land crab related to the hermit crab, and are found in the tropical Indian and Pacific Oceans .
They eat coconuts for a living! How would you like to be on an island and come across a crab that is more than 3 feet from head to tail and weighs up to 40 pounds, with a pair of large pincers strong enough to open coconuts! They can climb trees too, but they only eat coconuts that have already fallen to the ground.
1. If we didn't live venturously, plucking the wild goat by the beard, and trembling over precipices, we should never be depressed, I've no doubt; but already should be faded, fatalistic and aged.

Refusing to forgive you is not only how I punish you: it is also how I keep you from getting close enough to hurt me again, and nine times out of ten it works - only there is a serious side effect. It is called bitterness, and it can do terrible things to the human body and soul.
Barbara Brown Taylor

Mother Teresa
20. When angry, count four; when very angry, swear.
