Proud to be an Albertan
After having dug to a depth of 10 feet last year, Montreal scientists
found traces of copper wire dating back 100 years and came to the
conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network more than
100 years ago.
Not to be outdone by the Quebecer's, in the weeks that followed, a Toronto
archaeologist dug to a depth of 20 feet, and shortly after, a story
published in the Globe and Mail read:
"Ontario archaeologists, finding traces of 130-year-old copper
wire, have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced
high-tech communications network 30 years earlier than the Quebecer's".
One week later, the Calgary Herald in Calgary, Alberta, reported the
following:
"After digging as deep as 30 feet in his pasture near Airdrie, Alberta,
John Brown, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he
found absolutely square root of "expletive" all. John has therefore concluded that 130 years ago, Alberta had already gone wireless."
Just makes you proud to be an Albertan!

EAR HAIR
My neighbor found out her dog could hardly hear so she took it to the
veterinarian. He found that the problem was hair in its ears. He cleaned
both ears and the dog could hear fine. The vet then proceeded to tell
the lady that if she wanted to keep this from recurring she should go to
the store and get some "Nair" hair remover and rub it in the dog's ears
once a month.
The lady goes to the drug store and gets some "Nair" hair remover.
At the register the druggist tells her, "If you're going to use this
under your arms don't use deodorant for a few days."
The lady says: "I'm not using it under my arms."
The druggist says: "If you're using it on your legs don't shave for a
couple of days."
The lady says: "I'm not using it on my legs either; if you must know,
I'm using it on my schnauzer."
The druggist says: "Stay off your bicycle for a week."

HOW TO CLEAN THE HOUSE
1. Create a new folder in your PC .
2. Name it 'Housework.'
3. Send it to the RECYCLE BIN.
4. Empty the RECYCLE BIN.
5. Your PC will ask you, 'Are you sure you want to delete Housework permanently?'
6. Calmly answer, 'Yes' and press mouse button firmly ....
7. Feel better?
Works for me!
