Oops...The dangers of opening e-mail while reading news...

It happens often in various newsgroups and is always goof for a laugh.

Several years ago before my retirement from Big Blue a guy
inadvertently pressed PAGE while talking to his girl friend. His wife
wasn't pleased when someone conferenced her at home. Four floors of
occupants enjoyed the discussion.

Big Blue?


Son, you just made a lot of us feel old - Big Blue was IBM.

White shirts, particular shade of blue suit, black shoes - no variation
allowed.

I know - but I left that out because I didn't know the tie colors, lol.

General Electric had a similar dress code, and so did a few others, just not
as strict as Big Blue.
