Lo-Tech Solutions

Kat went all Hi-Tech in the Battle of the Sexes the other day *continuing in a louder voice* and a doggone fine job she did, too! Uhhh--and *hairy eyeball* somebody else had entirely too much fun with the idea.

However, since the hypersonic, broken-chromosome-seeking WomanScorned Missile is a pricey piece of hardware, some frugal traditionalists will continue to tout the benefits of the *personal* touch...

************************

A lady walks into a drug store and tells the pharmacist she needs some cyanide.

The pharmacist said, "Why in the world do you need cyanide?" The lady then explained she needed it to poison her husband.

The pharmacist's eyes got big and he said, "Lord have mercy, I can't give you cyanide to kill your husband! That's against the law! I'll lose my license, they'll throw both of us in jail and all kinds of bad things will happen! No! Absolutely not--NO, you can NOT have any cyanide!"

The lady reached into her purse and pulled out a picture of her husband in bed with the pharmacist's wife.

The pharmacist looked at the picture and replied, "Well now, you didn't tell me you had a *prescription*..."

Tip of the battered flight helmet to Bear--our crewchiefs and gunners didn't have callsigns, but they *did* have "handles"...

Woman Scorned missiles? No worries, Chief- note that the Fire and Control Center is manned er um... staffed by wimmen... they'll never remember where they put the keys! (quickly deploys Shield,Anti-Flounce,Mark I*)
 
Ummm--could that trenchant observation stem from recent personal experience, maybe?
 
Neffi! Yer alive! Whups ... you went and had a birthday while hiding from us, didn't you? Hmmmm - I guess the Adjutant is due some wet noodle lashes again, eh?
 
Heh. Brab's been asking about flaccid noodles a lot lately. My head hurts trying to analyze why. I *know* it's not about the Hubster, I have independent reporting on that...
 
Hiya Neffi. Glad to see you are back. Now watch it... The kittens have been out for something lately. Glad to see you spell wimmin properly. That whole replacing a vowel with the essence of maleness is, well, probably not what the substitution is intended to mean.
 
Why yesh, Barb- rumours of my death etc etc... and I seldom DO birthdays anymore but I must say that I was thoroughly DONE that day; my but how life does wind its tenuous coils about one... Chief- 'recent personal experience'?! PUH-LEEZE! -nuf said-
 
Punc, dahlink... I do hope replacing the essence of maleness is not an issue for you... everyone is welcome here, sweetpea... ;)
 
Neffi - The temp here's been in the fifties for the past three weeks and tomorrow night there's a blizzard moving in. We're due for a foot of snow. Boquisucio didn't round up a barnacle-scraping detail. Punc's the only kitten holding down the fort. And you've only commented three times. I b'lieve I can state with some authority that hell has finally frozen over.
 
Let me warm it back up again. We can't have the Chief's buns get cold. Howdy Neffi! FYI...this is a completely disseminated, individually deployed weapon system that downloads and maintains its own targeting acquisition package. Keys and central command are just window dressing and conduits for information.
 
...this is a completely disseminated, individually deployed weapon system that downloads and maintains its own targeting acquisition package. In other words, it's John Travolta in a leisure suit.
 
Damn, bill, FINALLY a funny one.....
