If the shoe fits

Whilst checking a teaching resource on Psychology, a lesson plan on Personals caught my eye.

According to the research women prefer to date older men and state this in their ads and men prefer to date younger women.

Women are more likely to express their need for economic security than men whereby men express their economical status more so than women.

Men express their needs for certain physical traits in their intended mate more so than women, women tend to look for qualities or express their personalities more.

After all of that here's a few more thoughts....

Computers are Like Men...


* In order to get their attention, you have to turn them on.
* They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they are the problem.
* They have a lot of data but are still clueless.
* As soon as you commit to one, you realize that, if you had waited a little longer you could have had a better model.
* They hear what you say, but not what you mean.

Computers are Like Women...

* No one but the Creator understands their internal logic.
* The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else.
* Even your smallest mistakes are stored in long-term memory for later retrieval.
* As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.
* You do the same thing for years, and suddenly it's wrong.


Things You Don't Want to Hear Your System Administrator Saying:

NO! Not that button!
Do you smell something?
I have never seen it do that before...
Ooops. Save your work, everyone. FAST!
What do you mean you needed that directory?
Where did you say those backup tapes were kept?
The drive ate the tape but that's OK, I brought my screwdriver.
I cleaned up the root partition and now there's lots of free space.
