Subject: Students-want to enjoy healthy sex life
'Buy a laptop, prevent a baby'
is perhaps not a slogan you'd expect from a computer manufacturer but, in a
bid to encourage students to protect more than just their PC's from viruses
this year, Evesham Technology has joined forces with Mates condoms.
Evesham's new student division - e2students is giving away a free pack of
Mates condoms with every computer they sell until the 30th September 2003 to
make sure it's not just PCs that stay healthy!
The unlikely duo have partnered to promote safe sex to the 360,000 new
students that will be flying the nest and starting at university this
September. As well as a pack of condoms, an information leaflet describing
the dangers of un-protected sex will be included in the box.
The partnership is a result of Evesham's new student division - e2students,
developed to provide exclusive deals and discounts for students. Until
September 30th 2003 students will receive a 5% discount across Evesham's
entire range of products, a free SIM card from o2, £5 off FireBox.com, 2 for
1 vouchers for Cafe Nero and of course, a free pack of Mates condoms!
This new student division is headed by 19-year-old Chris Mole, who set up
his own student PC company last July, just 3 days after leaving school and
after failing his A-levels! His company soon found fame as a result of their
alternative marketing techniques and was soon snapped up by Evesham to put
his expertise into practise by helping other students reach their full
potential at university!
Says Chris, Student Sales Manager at Evesham Technology: "We are very
excited about our partnership with Mates. Our aim when we created e2students
was to put together a package that has everything a student needs. Now they
can come to us and buy a discounted PC and get a discounted mobile phone,
books, music, travel and even a free pack of Mates condoms"
Says Mates spokesperson, Katherine Govier: "Student welfare is extremely
important to us. Over the past few years there has been an alarming rise in
the spread of STIs and as students tend to have more opportunities to
indulge than most other people, we need to encourage everyone to practise
safe sex, every time. Our partnership with Evesham Technology will help to
show students that protection is important all round."

Subject: Dimensional Warp Generator Needed bd
Hello,
I'm a time traveler stuck here in 2003. Upon arriving here my dimensional warp generator stopped working. I trusted a company here by the name of LLC Lasers to repair my Generation
3 52 4350A watch unit, and they fled on me. I am going to need a new DWG unit, prefereably the rechargeable AMD wrist watch model with the GRC79 induction motor, four I80200
warp stabilizers, 512GB of SRAM and the menu driven GUI with front panel XID display.
I will take whatever model you have in stock, as long as its received certification for being safe on carbon based life forms.
In terms of payment:
I dont have any Galactic Credits left. Payment can be made in platinum gold or 2003 currency upon safe delivery of unit.
Please transport unit in either a large brown paper bag or box to below coordinates on Monday July 28th at (exactly 3:00pm) Eastern Standard Time on the dot. A few minutes prior will be ok,
but it cannot be after. If you miss this timeframe please email me.
Twenty-three inches in from the outside edge of the corner at the South West
Corner of Cummings Ave. & Village Street in Woburn, Mass. is at Latitude
42.4845467 & Longitude -71.1576157 and the ground is 101.3' above sea level.
WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TRANSPORT ITEM BY REGULAR MEANS OF TELEPORTATION. THEY ARE MONITORING AND WILL REDIRECT THE SIGNAL!!
(NOBODY HAS BEEN ABLE TO TRANSPORT ANYTHING SO FAR WITHOUT THE TRANSFER BEING DEFLECTED). I DO NOT CARE HOW YOU HAVE TO GET IT HERE, JUST DO IT IN A WAY THAT NO SPYING
EYES WILL POSSIBLY BE ABLE TO REDIRECT THE TRANSFERENCE. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU BE ABLE TO MONITOR THE TRANSFER.
Although those coordinates are a secure guarded area, these channels through email are never secure. Unfortunately it is the only form of communication I have right now.
After unit has been sent please email me at: info@federalfundingprogram.com
with payment instructions. Do not reply directly back to this email.

A NEW AND EXCITING GAME TO PLAY WHILE YOU WORK!!
--
ONE-POINT OFFICE DARES
1. Run one lap around the office at top speed.
2. Ignore the first five people who say 'good morning' to you.
3. Phone someone in the office you barely know, leave your name and say, "Just called to say I can't talk right now. Bye."
4. To signal the end of a conversation, clamp your hands over your ears and grimace.
5. When someone hands you a piece of paper, finger it, and whisper huskily, "Mmmmmmm, that feels soooooo good!"
6. Leave your zipper open for one hour. If anyone points it out, say, "Sorry,I really prefer it this way".
7. Walk sideways to the photocopier.
8. While riding a lift, gasp dramatically every time the doors open.
9. Groan out loud in the toilet cubicle (at least one other 'non-player' must be in the toilet at the time).
--
THREE-POINTS DARES
1. Say to your boss, "I like your style" and shoot him with double-barrelled fingers.
2. Babble incoherently at a fellow employee then ask, "Did you get all that, I don't want to have to repeat it".
3. Page yourself over the intercom (do not disguise your voice).
4. Kneel in front of the water cooler and drink directly from the nozzle (there must be a 'non-player' within sight).
5. Shout random numbers while someone is counting.
--
FIVE POINT DARES
1. At the end of a meeting, suggest that, for once, it would be nice to conclude with the singing of the national anthem (extra points if you actually launch into it yourself).
2. Walk into a very busy person's office and while they watch you with growing irritation, turn the light switch on/off 10 times.
3. For an hour, refer to everyone you speak to as "Bob".
4. Announce to everyone in a meeting that you "really have to go do a number two".
5. After every sentence, say 'Mon' in a really bad Jamaican accent. As in "the report's on your desk, Mon". Keep this up for one hour.
6. While an office mate is out, move their chair into the lift.
7. In a meeting or crowded situation, slap your forehead repeatedly and mutter, Shut up, damn it, all of you just shut up!"
8. At lunchtime, get down on your knees and announce, "As God is my witness, I'll never go hungry again".
9. In a colleague's diary, write in 10am: "See how I look in tights".
10. Carry your keyboard over to your colleague and ask, "You wanna trade?"
11. Repeat the following conversation 10 times to the same person: "Do you hear that?" "What?" "Never mind, it's gone now".
12. Come to work in army fatigues and when asked why, say, "I can't talk about it".
13. Posing as a maitre d', call a colleague and tell him he's won a lunch for four at a local restaurant. Let him go.
14. Speak with an accent (French, German, Porky Pig, etc) during a very important conference call.
15. Find the vacuum and start vacuuming around your desk.
16. Hang a two-foot long piece of toilet roll from the back of your pants and act genuinely surprised when someone points it out.
17. Present meeting attendees with a cup of coffee and biscuit, smash each biscuit with your fist.
18. During the course of a meeting, slowly edge your chair towards the door.
19. Arrange toy figures on the table to represent each meeting attendee, move them according to the movements of their real-life counterparts.
And if that wasn't enough for you...
1. At lunchtime, sit in your parked car with sunglasses on and point a hairdryer at passing cars. See if they slow down.
2. Tell your children over dinner. "Due to the economy, we are going to have to let one of you go."
3. Every time someone asks you to do something, ask if they want fries with that.
4. Put your rubbish bin on your desk and label it "IN." 5. Put decaf in the coffee maker for 3 weeks. Once everyone has gotten over his or her caffeine addictions, switch to espresso.
6. In the subject field for all your e-mails, write " FOR SEXUAL FAVOURS".
7. Finish all your sentences with "In accordance with the prophecy."
8. Don't use any punctuation
9. As often as possible, skip rather than walk.
10. Ask people what sex they are. Laugh hysterically after they answer.
11. Specify that your drive-through order is "to go."
12. Sing along at the opera.
13. Go to a poetry recital and ask why the poems don't rhyme.
14. Put mosquito netting around your work area. Play a tape of jungle sounds all day.
15. Five days in advance, tell your friends you can't attend their party because you're not in the mood.
16. Have your co-workers address you by your wrestling name, Rock Hard.
17. When the money comes out of the ATM, scream "I Won! I Won! 3rd time this week!!!"
18. When leaving the zoo, start running towards the parking lot yelling, "Run for your lives, they're loose!"
And the final way to keep a healthy level of insanity.... Send this to everyone in your address book, even if they sent it to you or have asked you not to send them stuff like this.

FHM Magazine sucks our 4 mile long dick:

FHM Magazine (one of the largest Mens magazines in the

stand near you. Now...you would probably think that we
would be grateful for such a wonderful coop...think again.

We are, after all, T-Shirt Hell.com and we do whatever
the hell we want...whenever we want. If we feel that
someone is a complete pussy, we let them know and we
don't care if we burn a bridge here and there. It's fun to
burn bridges. Fire is pretty. In fact...we hope we inspire
you to burn a few bridges of your own. Go...burn bridges
now, we insist (we even have matches).

Check out the story and why magazines like Maxim will
continue to kick FHM's poser asses until they finally hang
em up or grow some balls:

Did you ever realize how if you allow even a little bit of negative thinking into your thinking process, that it can spoil your good mood? Negative thinking is counter productive as well as self-defeating, and it makes you feel worse! Do you honestly think that anyone since the beginning of time ever accomplished anything worthwhile when they were in a bad mood?

Subject: exploding vans
Morning.
Bloody hell what an evening.
A van, which had been dumped outside our house for a couple of days explodedinto a ball of flames last night. Me and Lia were sitting watching TV when all of a sudden we heard a rather large bang and a orange haze outside the window caused by 30 foot high flames. After several seconds of swearing and thinking the flat underneath had caught fire we realised it was a van and called the fire brigade. Due to the close proximatey of the burning van to our front door and the fact the wind was blowing the flames towards the house we could not get out of the house without getting are faces singed. After a couple of minutes the local fire brigade rocked up and put the bastard out.
Anyway, the smoke and fact that we thought the house was on fire promptly caused Lia to have some sort of asthma attack. To make matters worse the silly bint had left her inhailer at work and there was not a bloody paper bag in site. So there I was thinking I was going to have to 999 for the
second time in one evening. Some how she managed to make a paper bag type/breathing aid device out of the Guardian newspapers front page and after five minutes got her breath back.
Having composed herself a bit and with news print all over her face she then asked Can you chuck as a fag...
Bloody Aussies.

A psychiatrist was conducting a group therapy session with four
young mothers and their small children.
He observed, "You all have obsessions."
To the first mother, he said, "You are obsessed with eating. You've
even named your daughter Candy."
He turned to the second mom. "Your obsession is money. Again, it
manifests itself in your child's name, Penny."
He turned to the third mom, "Your obsession is alcohol. It manifests
itself in your child's name, Brandy."
At this the fourth woman takes her son by the hand and whispered,
"Come on, Dick, we're going home."

Everything you need to know about crisps
Introduction:
One in five children in the UK are overweight. Around half of boys and a third of girls snack at least three times a day and if you’ve ever thought your child eats too many crisps, you’re probably right.
A recent survey by the Doctor-Patient Partnership found that a quarter of children snacked on the way to school. Experts warn that rising obesity will lead to heart disease, diabetes and premature death for many of today’s children.
Salt content is still often overlooked, despite being a major cause of heart disease. The Recommended Daily Amount (RDA) for children between seven and 14 years old is 5g of salt per day. Those younger, 2g.
Children only require 1.6g a day – that’s the equivalent of two packets of crisps. But manufacturers still produce children’s food with a high salt content; one Darylea Lunchable contains 2.7g – that’s 37% more than the RDA for six year-olds.
Graham McGregor, professor of cardiovascular medicine at St George’s hospital, London, says the major offender is processed foods, including crisps and snacks: “We’re talking about foods that are 20-30 per cent more salty than sea water.”
Twiglets are around the healthiest crisps around; a small packet contains less fat then a packet of low fat crisps.
An average bowl of Corn Flakes contains 750mg of salt, which is about what a six year-old is allowed in a day.
Conclusion:
So should you ban your children from eating crisps? It seems you’d be far better off banning them from other processed foods instead. And fast food. Let them have their crisps, but make sure it’s in moderation.
//boxout// Healthy crisps
We look at the top snacks with low salt and fat content (per 100g).
Walkers
Salt and Vinegar Lites
Taster than proper Salt and Vinegar we think, with 21g of fat.
Boots Shapers
Chargrilled Chicken Flavour Crinkles
A good taste and lovely texture, but with a whopping 24g of fat.
Marks & Spencer
Lightly Salted Baked Potato Crisps
A poor taste, but with 2.3g of salt, a winner in the health stakes.
Sainsbury’s Be Good to Yourself
Baked Potato and Butter Flavour Crisps
Overpowering butter taste but there’s only 2.3g of salt, so a healthy option.
