What's the worst thing you have ever spent a wad of cash on?
January tax return is looming, that's pretty bad. That day Camden Council towed my car away wasn't good. Root canal fillings are well up there...

They're lots cheaper than divorce proceedings. Which, if your missus see's this, you may find out first hand!

Given Griff's history of comments, I'm pretty sure she's not a member. Also, she'd have to know it was him, although he has probably posted enough evidence over the years to leave little doubt!

I'm in the lucky position that she is not that computer literate: she hasn't powered up her PC in about two years, and I redirected all her email to my address after her friends complained she never read her mail.
Plus, she is so worried about "breaking my computer" that she won't even dust the mouse!

Oh well, they say opposite's attract. 
On that subject: Do you dust your mouse often?

Yep. You'd be amazed how much nasty stuff gets in there...but it's an "upside down" mouse - a trackball that you work with your thumb. So a lot of sweat and skin cells and general dirt gets taken in with the ball, and needs to be cleaned out regularly or the movement gets jerky.
I dust my keyboard as well - before you ask - with a small soft paintbrush to get between the keys.
If you don't, try an experiment. Get a sheet of A3, and shake your keyboard upside down over it....

3 M&Ms, a slightly shrivelled peanut and, somewhat mysteriously a ham sandwich.
I don't feel very well now, I think I should have left the sandwich. Was that Dr Zeuss book "Green Ham and Eggs"?

That's either a very big keyboard, or a very small sandwich!
Or do you normally use it as a plate and forgot to eat your lunch? What happens when you have soup?

That explains what the goopy stuff was.

Mouse hygiene is critical and cannot be done enough. You should also enlist the help of someone else to assist - dusting someone else's mouse is fun and informative and leads to general contentment and feeling at one with the universe. It is also a great stress relief.

Very good! Is there such a thing in reality? I'm married and don't think I possess such a thing.

Depends where you wed: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marriage_license[^] - I don't think there is a "paper version" any more in the UK, just the requirement of the notice publication for fifteen days.
Some countries though: NZ[^] do require you to pay for one first.
The bad news: they don't expire, and you can't lose it for bad behaviour...unless she finds out, in which case you lose everything!

My nephew married a girl from S Africa (a Zulu, I believe). His family was supposed to pay her family a cow. It, of course, doesn't work like that in the UK. Instead of paying cash up front, you pay on the "never-never".
While on the subject of the African dowry, I suggested that as it's supposed to take a large quantity of cow to make demi glace, I suggested it might be easier to ship them a gallon or two. I then wondered if they'd know the difference between demi glace and Gravy Granules, so I suggested a case of that instead.

And your sig is clearly pro-penguin, so it's obviously anti-killer whale.
As someone who quite likes killer whales, I'm offended!

Now that is a clear case of 'reading-between-the-lines'...Where do you came to the conclusion that penguins are involved in my signature?

Marrigae License? Is that something like a driver's license, i. e. do you need to pass a test? And how many hours of theoretical and practical training do you need until you're admitted?
