already establishing the connection can charge you an initial fee. A longer call just gets increasingly more expensive.

It's like paying for a cab. You pay a base amount for the service and the more time that passes (or the greater the distance) the more expensive it gets.

ha thats a nice thing to do!! and a nice way to take revenge Big Grin | :-D

..lets see if the magician can cast a spell on the salesmen... Big Grin | :-D

You need to roll your willpower and your castability as a d6
i do that for you , willpower 4 and castability of 3 makes a 7d6
/roll 7d6
... rolling {1, 3, 5, 5 , 4, 1, 4} >= 5 = 2 successes

I'm sorry he defended your skill with 3 successes.

Please withstand the mana drain now $Shucks | :-\$

Yes - to do some Black Magic...

I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

I tried it, and the Swami's voice chanted "great power will be yours o enlightened child of the forums". And lo, it came to pass[^].

Veni, vidi, abiit domum

A distraught senior citizen phoned her doctor's office.

"Is it true," she wanted to know, "that the medication you prescribed has to be taken for the rest of my life?"

"Yes, I'm afraid so," the doctor told her.

There was a moment of silence before the senior lady replied, "I'm wondering, then, just how serious is my condition, because this prescription is marked 'NO REFILLS'.."

An older gentleman was on the operating table awaiting surgery and he insisted that his son, a renowned surgeon, perform the operation.

As he was about to get the anesthesia, he asked to speak to his son.

"Yes, Dad , what is it?"

"Don't be nervous, son; do your best, and just remember, if it doesn't go well, if something happens to me, your mother is going to come and live with you and your wife....."

Aging:

Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it. This is so true. I love to hear them say "you don't look that old."

---------------------------------

The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for. (Mostly because we forgot why we were waiting in line in the first place!!)

---------------------------------

Some people try to turn back their odometers.

Not me!

I want people to know why I look this way.

I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved.

********************

When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to youth, think of Algebra.

-------------------------------

One of the many things no one tells you about aging is that it is such a nice change from being young.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Ah, being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable.

First you forget names, then you forget faces.

Then you forget to pull up your zipper...

It's worse when you forget to pull it down.

Two guys, one old, one young, are pushing their carts around Wal-Mart when they collide.

The old guy says to the young guy, "Sorry about that. I'm looking for my wife, and I guess I wasn't paying attention to where I was going."

The young guy says, "That's OK, it's a coincidence. I'm looking for my wife, too... I can't find her and I'm getting a little desperate."

The old guy says, "Well, maybe I can help you find her... what does she look like?"

The young guy says, "Well, she is 27 yrs. old, tall, with red hair, blue eyes, is buxom...wearing no bra, long legs, and is wearing short shorts. What does your wife look like?'

To which the old guy says, “Doesn’t matter, --- let's look for yours."

(And this final one especially for me,)

"Lord, keep Your arm around my shoulder and Your hand over my mouth!"

Now, if you feel this doesn't apply to you . . . stick around awhile . . . it will!

One elderly lady was chatting with another. “My memory is poor Mildred, so I changed my password to “incorrect.” That way when I log in with the wrong password, the computer will tell me… “Your password is incorrect.”

Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.

One always assumes flooding in the UK is a foot deep or so, nothing dramatic ever really happens there, but actuaolly, thats a proper flood.

Thought from the title it was going to be about poetry/Valentines Day.

Probably shouldn't have found this one[^] funny, but I did.

I wonder what the sign said?

Well it was Cardiff, so I'm going for this[^].

In Wales it wouldn't have the line through it and would be a triangle.

We don't make the news much, but we have Breckenridge, A-Basin, Keystone, Copper Mountain and Vail.

Y'all come up. The skiing is out of this world right now.

Sky News were asking for viewer's pictures of the storm devastation so I sent them this[^].

They didn't use it though.

Just did some Mythbusters.

Can a bread knife cut meat?

Depends how fresh the bread you make the knife out of is...and probably how crusty as well.

in this case, if the bread is old enough you might be able to even cut steel Suspicious | :suss:

At least, you are still able to type.

Did not have someone the signature "I want to be an eunuch, pass me the bread knife !".
