When you have an "I hate my job" day try this:<P>On your way home from work, stop at your pharmacy and go to the thermometer section.<P>You will need to purchase a rectal thermometer made by<BR>"Q-tip." Be very sure that you get this brand. <P>When you get home, lock your doors, draw the drapes, and disconnect the phone so you will not be disturbed during your therapy. <P>Change to very comfortable clothing, such as a sweat suit and lie down on your bed.<P>Open the package and remove the thermometer. <P>Carefully place it on the bedside table so that it will not become chipped or broken.<P>Take out the written material that accompanies the thermometer and read it.<P>You will notice that in small print there is a statement:<P>"Every rectal thermometer made by Q-tip is personally tested." <P>Now, close your eyes and repeat out loud five times, <P>"I am so glad I do not work in quality control at the Q-tip Company." <BR>

Well, this isn't really funny, but I'll tell it anyway...<P>A friend of mine was pregnant and smoking, and she once asked the guy in the store to not give her the pack that said <P>WARNING: SMOKING WHILE PREGNANT CAN HARM YOUR BABY<P>She was joking, and it was kinda funny at the time, but Geez!!!!<P>Well, I smoke, but never when I was pregnant!!!
