If they can put a man on the moon...

Why can't they...

...develop a fax machine that can tell when it's not sending to another fax machine?

...make soda that doesn't fizz up your nose if you laugh while drinking it?

...cure hiccups?

...standardize women's clothing sizes?

...enforce truth in advertising?

Anything that's bugging you about why we just haven't 'gotten' there yet?

Cat 3 phone cables I belive?

...make soda that doesn't fizz up your nose if you laugh while drinking it?
Dont laugh

...cure hiccups?
Ugg. Drink water!

...standardize women's clothing sizes?
The golden arch: M

...enforce truth in advertising?
Because we are humans, that like to lie

There is a cure for hicups. You need a slice of lemmon a tablespoon of sugar and a tablespoon of Angusturas Bitters. Put the sugar on the lemon, then put the bitters on the sugar. Bite, chew, swallow and NO MORE HICUPS!! Works every time.

Why can't they make cell phones that DON'T work if your keys are in the ignition??? That would save thousands of motorcyclists per year. My only GRIPE.

For now.

Not the cable--just the fax machine. Too many people just plug their fax into any handy outlet. The secretary is out today, so her line bounces to me--if I hear that @($#%(#$*^)@(%&^@_)%$ binging noise once more today, I'm going to fax them a picture of a bloody knife!!!

Okay, not really. But it would make me feel better.

Don't laugh? Yeah, right--this from the guy who once posted that he couldn't post because he was laughing too hard!

Not all cures work for all people...

M? How the heck is that a standard?

You gotta be quick with those annoying fax phone calls.
We get them at work all the time...we transfer to our fax and see what idiot is trying to fax to our phone line.
I can do it at home too..there is a code you enter in your phone to activate the fax. Early one am I got a local companys invoice to some other company for for a few thou of goods. I called them and told them about it.

Get motorcyclists to wear helmets. For some reaon the state of IL in their infinite wisdom mandates that car drivers/passengers wear seatbelts, but let the motorcyclists off with no helmets. :devil:

Why use a fax any more? I juse use the email, scanning fax thing.

Really, the only people who should be mandated to do anything, are people under 18 (or 16 depending).

If your stupid enough not to use your seatbelt and are thrown through the front windshield, then its just darwin sorting us out.

Hey Nursie, just noticed you're in Peoria... we're just a donor-cycle... er... I mean motorcycle... ride away, in Macomb! Howdy!

Whenever we pass a motorcyclist without a helmet (and there seem to be a lot here in Illinois) my 5 year old twins say "That person should be wearing a helmet!" It really bothers them that the person could get badly hurt.

I wear a helmet all the time but I'm still in favor of the no helmet laws. It's nice to be able to take them off when your stuck in traffic, especially here in Florida. I figure if I get killed riding at <10mph with no helmet my number was up anyway!! I see guys all the time riding fast bikes not wearing helmets or riding aparel. All I can say is they probably haven't crashed yet.
