    The paper was entitled, “It looks like you’re flipping pancakes. Do you need some help?”

    When that guy yells at kids to, “Get off my lawn!” They better take him seriously.

    That Elvita Adams story reminds me of a joke:

    A guy walks into the bar high up in the Empire State Building and has some drinks and is there for a few hours.

    Another guy comes and sits next to him.

    The first guy who has been there for a while looks at the man and says to him, “You know that there is a nice breeze outside and if you jump out it will blow you right back in.”

    The second guy doesn’t believe him and tells him to prove it. So, the first guy jumps out the window and comes soaring right back in.

    The second guy asks him to do it one more time. So, the first guy jumps out and the nice breeze takes him right back into the bar.

    At this time the second guy believes him and decides he needs to try this. He then jumps out and falls down to his death.

    The bartender turns to the first guy and says, “Superman, you’re mean when you’re drunk!!”

    Bill Gates was once considered for People magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive cover story, only to lose to Daniel Craig. Believe it or Not.

    Bill was smart enough to keep his profitable ideas for himself.

    Since she was trying to commit suicide, Elvita’s first thought was probably, “Dang, I can’t even kill myself right!”

    The pancakes encountered an unexpected error. Close them or look for a solution.

    Halfway through the paper, a blue sheet appears saying : A problem has been detected and the pancakes making process have to be shut down to prevent damage to your pancakes. :(

    Only one paper. And now he is an expert on vaccines and viruses. He’s uses the same technique for his computers; create a virus, and then charge for a program to fix it.

    If you are a rich as Bill Gates, you do not need to publish anything. BTW, he and Paul Allen developed the first DOS.

    Bill Gates most important paper of his entire life was deposited in his bank.

    Elvita was attempting suicide and thought the wind was just another in a long line of her bad luck.

    Better Homes & Gardens sent a reporter to interview the man in Cambodia who had decorated his lawn with land mines. The man was found in Phnom Penh, Takeo, Kampong Saom , and Battambang.

    Those mines may not have been dangerous to people. Those that were designed as anti-vehicle take more pressure than a person could generate to detonate.

    1) isn’t it a strange coincidence that the Gates & Adams tales are about pancakes? — 2) Good Info! Now I know how to keep kids and dogs off my lawn…

    I heard a story about a man who jumped off a 200-foot high building and survived with no injuries. Of course he only jumped from the first floor.

    That’s because Bill Gates is a fraud and now, for some reason, in charge of international health and vaccines. But don’t worry he isn’t a businessman anymore just a selfless humanitarian. Yeah right.

    Two guys are in a bar at the top of a 90 story building.

    After a couple of hours of drinking the first guy says, “Hey, I hear that the winds up here are so strong that if you jump out the window it’ll blow you right back in.”

    The second guy says, “Eh, you’re nuts.”

    “No,” the first guy says, “I’ll prove it,” and he then gets up, goes the window, opens it, and jumps out. Ten seconds later he comes flying back in.

    “That’s incredible,” the second guy says. “I’ve got to try that.” So he gets up, goes to the window, and jumps out. A few second later there’s a long, fading scream, and then a faint “thud.”

    The bartender looks at the first guy and says, “Superman, you are a mean drunk.”
