Really? I'm fairly sure that one used to get posted by Wildy every time
someone came out with a half-baked "help my computer isn't working"
question :-)

Paul... I'm disappointed. Last night I came round and cooked you
spaghetti bolognese, then we watched "Prison Break" together in
front of your gas fire. We even turned it up to 3 bars. How can
you
forget such a wonderful evening?

Was I there? My wife is complaining that I was absent for most of the
evening.

Oh, was that then? I thought it was the night before. My memory is going. The
way I remember it, you were a ravishing brunette.

I waited four days and nobody'd told me what do do with it when you came
along. I'm not gonna tell you where I am b/c for all I know you're gonna
come and take it. I checked on the internet and it seems everyone wants to
get rid of it. Apparently Oprah had a lot too much of it and tried to get
rid of it, but I don't think she'll tell me if I watch her show.

Its ok, we dont know what it is, but you are right, if we did, we'd come and
take it.

The interenet is not gospel, you know?

But, do you REALLY watch her show, or is this a ploy of misdirection? :/
