I've an aunt that insists on opening every virus infested virtual 'christmas card' that she receives. After the 3rd time I rebuilt her computer I just gave her a name of a local computer repair shop - I got tired wasting weekends fixing something that was going to be toast in 3 months.
Maybe if it cost $100 every time these people opened an attachment they'd stop opening them.
Get the kid an iPad.

Exactly.
I imagined someone else doing the work.

To get a job as a waitress, do you need to bring a lot to the table?

In order to get that job, here's a tip: avoid kitchen cold or any other sneeze inducing malady.

I have no idea but...
I recommend that you do not bring a lot as a gardener.

Not if "a lot" includes things you never asked for.
I witnessed someone having a bit of a bad experience a while back, and really taking it to the next level. I was downright embarrassed to be sitting at the same table.

I have noticed that our application architecture has become a lot more stable this year, with fewer new fads being introduced.
Is this because (a) there are fewer software conferences this year or (b) the executives have not been exposed to airline magazine wisdom as much?

Lets just say it didn't end well for the application.

I made some chocolate cookies less than an hour ago and they are cooling on a rack in the kitchen.
And the smell has just invaded my office ... now I've got to not eat them and endure the deliciousness that is wafting round the room ...
This is not going to be easy.

That'd be even worse: theobromine is toxic to cats as well as dogs, so Herself would insist on an emergency vet run to have him pumped out and dosed up with a drip for a few days.
Fortunately, cats are rather more picky than dogs and won't eat it if it's left around - though they will if given it as a "treat".

My grandfather had a dog that would eat chocolate at any given opportunity. I have no idea if it's supposed to be toxic for all dog breeds, but in the end that's not what killed him. He lived to be 15+ years old.
My dad was a mechanic and did some work in our garage - that same dog would also be licking the garage floor whenever he saw that bright green engine coolant--or straight out of the drain pan when my dad was emptying a radiator--it's apparently sweet, but poisonous. Didn't bother that damned dog one bit.
