A popular motivational speaker was entertaining his audience.
He said: “The best years of my life were spent in the arms of a woman who wasn’t my wife!”
The audience was in silence and shock. The speaker added:“And that woman was my mother!”
There was laughter and applause.. A week later, a top manager trained by the motivational speaker tried to crack this very effective joke at home.
He was a bit foggy after a drink. He said loudly to his wife who was preparing dinner,“The greatest years of my life were spent in the arms of a woman who was not my wife.”
The wife went: “Aahhhh!” with shock and rage.. Standing there for 20 seconds trying to recall the second half of the joke, the manager finally blurted out“…and I can’t remember who she was.” By the time the manager regained his consciousness, he was on a hospital bed nursing burns from boiling water.MORAL : The moral of the story is don’t copy if you can’t paste!

Have you have any insident involving copying and pasting?
I used to remember a student groaning at the end of an examination period when he realized he copied his friend's answer for the wrong question...

Actually I just want to post something light for today, because all that have been running inside my head lately seem to be all "heavy" stuff, that when I post anything, what comes out tend to be the serious part of me (unlike the traditional maniacsicko that some of you might have been accustomed to, haha)...
So, before I continue to post anything that is in a somewhat serious mood, I just think that I'll just post this first to lighten my xanga page... I'm not sure if I'm actually making any sense, though.. ahaha.. oh well...
Just give a credit to the original author @ source if you copy and paste. Or use '...' "..." to let people knows that the words/sentences was quoted from where else.
@RestlessButterfly - but i did give the source... or did the way i do it wrong?
@maniacsicko - I'm not talking about you and this post, I'm talking about me and bloggers in general.
I didn't know you copy and paste this post ;)
Dear Maniac,
"I'm not sure if I'm actually making any sense, though.."
Don't worry, you're not.
I call most of 21st century popular culture "copy/paste". Mashups, hip hop music, composite art, bloggers. Everybody is copy/pasting these days. My only "incident" recently involves the loss of computer power/programs/files during the creative process. A lot of my profile pics wouldn't exist without the ability to copy/paste elements from images obtained in my own photography and on the internet. For instance, the pork pie hat I'm wearing as "Buster Miketon" isn't a real hat at all, but an image I "copied" from the real photo of Buster Keaton, "cut out" in a computer editing program, and "pasted" onto an image of my head.
I had a really devastating time when my hard drive crashed, and I lost lots of images and files relating to art projects, including the series of silent film stars I'm currently creating.
Of course today's digital copy/paste technology also means that if not "printed out" physically, all images, text, everything digital is only an ephemeral series of "bits and bytes" stored on a drive somewhere, and when the drive breaks down, if somebody else hasn't copy/pasted those files onto another drive, they're lost forever.
