owenkrout Posted January 14, 2003 Report Share Posted January 14, 2003 My only correction is that they won't be baking, they will be making dumplings. If my memory serves me right, they normally close at 1130 for lunch and come back at 1400 or 1330. Link to comment

owenkrout Posted January 14, 2003 Report Share Posted January 14, 2003 Actually, that was a dry humour. I will have to admit that I actually caught the humour in Bob Dole's statements. He didn't have a hope as a candidate because of that humour. Most easterners just don't get it. Link to comment

Mick Posted January 14, 2003 Report Share Posted January 14, 2003 Bob Dole! Bob Dole Sense of humor? I know you guys are from Kansas and probably see something I don't. Of course, I shouldn't talk. I am from Florida, land of sunshine, Jeb Bush, and the dangling chad. Bob Dole? Sense of humor. B) System overload; Does not compute. Link to comment
owenkrout Posted January 14, 2003 Report Share Posted January 14, 2003 I also will have to admit that we engineer types are not noted for our brilliant humour. We can be ROFL about something and all the normal people around us will be looking at us with the, "What!?" look. then when everybody else is ROFL we are looking at each other with the, "What!?" look. BTW. Scott Adams pointed out in the last Dilbert news letter that Dogbert is well on the way to taking over the world. The latest step forward is that all the newly appointed top leadership in China are engineers. Link to comment

tonado Posted January 14, 2003 Report Share Posted January 14, 2003 Chinese New Year is kicking in when you see street vendors selling red signs (with lucky words) and red envelopes. And the stores are selling all kind of candies and sweets. Link to comment
