This day did not start well!
I started my faithful Dell desktop and decided that I might listen to one of my favorite playlists. The music started but the volume was extremely low. Turning up the volume made very little difference. So turned up the volume to max - no difference. Checked sound settings in the Control Panel - nothing helped. Turned off the computer and moved it into a position where I could reach the back panel connectors. Unplugging and reconnecting sound connectors had no effect. At this point I was considering "mother board failure" and went to the Dell website to check the price of new desktops.
Then I noticed something that struck me like a lightning bolt: My Sony headphones were plugged into the two Bose speakers connected to my computer!! Unplugged the headphones and my sound came booming through. What a relief! All the time I was hearing the headphones, not the speakers.
This reinforces the old adage: YOU JUST CANNOT FIX STUPID.
I will now stand in the corner, donning a dunce cap, so you can all kick my behind.

You are not alone ... I tried to move objects outside the screen using my mouse and after a second realized - this won't work the cursor didn't go where I wanted ...

A couple of weeks ago I was scribbling out the bones of a new procedure I needed on paper when I tried to select a couple of lines I had written with my pen so I could copy and paste them
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

Did you ever hear the old joke from the 1980s:
How do you know the blonde was on your computer?
Answer: There is white-out on the monitor!

I often give webex demonstrations and point at the screen with my finger rather than the cursor.  .

I once took apart a friend's boiler, looking for the cause of its not working.
After I had spread the thousand pieces out and checked every possible fault, I noticed that the bluddy thing had been turned off at the socket.
Had a similar thing with another friend's oven. Same routine, but dirtier, to find the non-existent fault, and then twigged that the timer had been set, so it could only work from 19:00 to 19:40 each day. Try to turn it on at another time, and it would wait until 19:00.

I once went to my boss telling him I needed a new monitor because mine went broke somewhere last night.
I had two and one just worked like always, but the other didn't, no matter what I tried.
So my boss came to look at the monitor.
And then he turned it on
If stupidity hurt I'd still feel that one

Doh!, note to self, must read more than the first ten posts of a thread. I'm my own defense though, the search utility would never have found it.
