Customer: Listen pal; don't start getting technical on me! I'm not Bill Gates, damn it!

===============

And last but not least:....

Tech support : "Okay Bob, let's press the control and escape keys at the same time. That brings up a task list in the middle of the screen. Now type the letter "P" to bring up the Program Manager."

WATER OR COKE?
Eye Opening Information!


This is really an eye opener.... Water or Coke? We all know that water is important but I've never seen it written down like this before.

WATER

1. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated.
2. In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that
it is often mistaken for hunger.
3. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as
much as 3%.
4. One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs for
almost 100% of the dieters studied in a University of Washington
study.
5. Lack of water, the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.
6. Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a
day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80%
of sufferers.
7. A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term
memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the
computer screen or on a printed page.
8. Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon
cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%,
and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer.

And now for the properties of COKE:

1. In many states (in the USA) the highway patrol carries two
gallons of Coke in the truck to remove blood from the highway
after a car accident.
2. You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of Coke and it will be
gone in two days.
3. To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet
bowl and let the "real thing" sit for one hour, then flush clean.
The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous China.
4. To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub the
bumper with a rumpled-up piece of Reynolds Wrap aluminum
foil dipped in Coca-Cola.
5. To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can
of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion.
6. To loosen a rusted bolt: Applying a cloth soaked in
Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes.
7. To bake a moist ham: Empty a can of Coca-Cola into the
baking pan, wrap the ham in aluminum foil, and bake. Thirty
minutes before the ham is finished, remove the foil, allowing
the drippings to mix with the Coke for sumptuous brown gravy.
8. To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of Coke into
a load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and run through a
regular cycle. The Coca-Cola will help loosen grease stains.
9. It will also clean road haze from your windshield.

For Your Info:

1. The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid.
Its pH is 2.8. It will dissolve a nail in about 4 days.
Phosphoric acid also leaches calcium from bones and is
a major contributor to the rising increase in osteoporosis
2. To carry Coca-Cola syrup (the concentrate) the
commercial truck must use the Hazardous material place
cards reserved for highly corrosive materials.
3. The distributors of Coke have been using it to clean the
engines of their trucks for about 20 years!

Now the question is... Would you like a Coke or a glass of Water?
Have A Great Day and Share It With Others!

A lady opened her refrigerator and saw a rabbit sitting on one of the shelves.
"What are you doing in there?"
she asked.

The rabbit replied:
"This is a Westinghouse, isn't it?",
to which the lady replied
"Yes."
"Well," the rabbit said,


"I'm westing."

Now, groan for a few seconds

I've often wondered if this is my problem sometimes. I am going to definitely start drinking more water.

scary isn't it!!!

Coke is great for upset tummies (flat coke that is) and I was hooked on coke for several months after an accident - it was the only thing that kept my stomach on the "inactive" side.

But I find that water is better - at the time though - water made me sick. Glad I can drink water again.

Neither would I - but I would make a great customer!!! lmafrotfl!!!!

LOL! Fortunately I know my way around a computer pretty well. I've hardly ever had to call support.

Water for me. Years of playing racquetball and softball - I have always kept water close by. Drinking any type of soda or tea only made me more thirsty. Same goes for beer. But, the beer tasted better after playing racquetball...
;-)
Preferred distalled bottled water. Since moving here to NC - the city water is terrible. THinking about having it tested..but too scared to find out what the results will be.
Still need my daily glass of pepsi at home, will drink out and about.

I should drink more water; but I never do... Of course, I can go all day without drinking anything, so that's just as bad as drinking a Coke, if not worse. I try to remember to drink something but I get busy with something & totally forget about it.

There was a doctor on TV several years ago and he said that most women get so busy that they actually do not drink enough of anything! Our bodies need the water and we are not doing it any good by depriving it and dehydrating it. It's funny how we are - being able to go without something to drink all day and men are the complete opposite.
