Quote of the week . . . “Christians never meet for the last time.”

With all the discussion about “gender” did you realize that there were ways to decide the “gender” of your computer?
There was a group of adults that were taking a computer science course at a community college. And after a few weeks of classes, the professor decided to have some fun one day through a little learning activity. And divided the class by sex, and put the men on one side of the room and the women on the other side of the room and said “I want you all to do a project for the next ten minutes, and I want you to determine what gender computers ought to be . . .”
And so, they deliberated. And so, finally here come the men, they voted. They voted unanimously that computers ought to be referred to in the feminine gender. And the professor said, “All right, share with me your points.” They had four (4) points.
They said the reason why computers ought to be spoken of in the feminine gender:
1. Is because no one but their creator understands their internal logic
2. Is because when computers talk to each other, they communicate in code language that only they and experts can understand.
3. Is because every mistake you make is stored on their hard drive for later retrieval.
4. Is because as soon as you commit to one, these men said, is you spend half your paycheck accessorizing it. Now don’t laugh too hard, because the women, the women have the last word on this subject.
The women voted unanimously, “Computers must be of the masculine gender”. Why? As the women gave their report, they said:
· First of all, in order to get their attention, you have to “turn them on.”
· Secondly, they have a lot of data, but still can’t think for themselves.
· Thirdly, they are supposed to help you solve problems but half the time they are the problem.
· And the final reason they gave was . . . as soon as you commit to one, you realize you could have gotten a better model.

And last of all . . .
At the urging of his doctor, Bill moved to Oklahoma.
After settling in, he met a neighbor who was also an older man.
“Say, is this really a healthy place?”
“It sure is,” the man replied. “When I first arrived here, I couldn’t say one word. I had hardly any hair on my head. I didn’t have the strength to walk across a room and I had to be lifted out of bed.”
“That’s wonderful!” said Bill. “How long have you been here?” “Sixty-one years—I was born here.”
“Sixty-one years—I was born here.”
