516.0. "=wn= lite: Top Ten Lists" by VINO::LANGELO (When a Kite Catches the Wind) Fri Nov 09 1990 17:33

    Chill out,cool off, take a deep breath and just relax.  This is a lite
    topic, half the calories of other topics here (and possible 1/3 the
    calories of other more heated topics).
    
    For anyone who's ever watched David Letterman then you know where this
    topic was stolen from. How does it work?  Well read on...

516.1Staying Late on Fri. Top ten listVINO::LANGELOWhen a Kite Catches the WindFri Nov 09 1990 17:5126
    Top Ten Reasons for Staying at Work late on a Friday Night:
    
    10. You're going out later and there's no point in going home and then
        going out so it's easier to just stay at work
    9. You've got nothing better to do
    8. It's close to raise time and you want your boss to think you're
       working really hard
    7. You've got to catch up on some noting
    6. You want to know if the cleaning people really clean on a Friday
       nite
    5. You're testing the air quality in the building to see if it's 
       better on a Friday nite then during the rest of the week
    4. There's a cute,sexy someone in the building you have a crush on
       and you're hanging around in hopes of bumping into her/him.  You
       make frequent trips to the coffee area, mailboxes etc.
    3. You want to get rid of all the foul smelling "things" in the
       refrigerator but you're afraid that if anyone else were around
       they might not let you remove some of their "culture experiments".
    2. You're going to fix "just one more bug" in your software
    1. You're in a mood for playing Tetris and playing it on your
       workstation is free.  Just think of all the quarters you save
       by playing it on your workstation!

516.2Underwear emergenciesVINO::LANGELOWhen a Kite Catches the WindMon Nov 12 1990 16:2746
    TOP TEN REASONS FOR BUYING NEW UNDERWEAR:
    
    10.  You're a color-coordinated freak and have just bought a bunch of
       new "colorful" bras.  Now you have to go out and buy some "colorful"
       underwear to match them.
    
    9.  Your current underwear is so worn out that it's as soft as silk
    
    8.  You're in a big fight with your SO. He/She hates cotton underwear
       so you go out and buy all cotton underwear (this is a "War of the
       Roses" reason ;-))
    
    7.  You have just gotten off a plane for a three week stay in the
        Aruba. Your suitcase is no where to be found.  You have no choice
        but to go out and buy somemore.
    
    6.  You've gained a lot of weight and you're busting out of the
       underwear you currently own
    
    5.   You've lost a whole bunch of weight and the only way to keep your
        current underwear from falling down is to tape it up with duck tape 
        (ouch...that sounds painful ;-))
    
    4.  You see some slinky looking underwear in the store and this makes
        you realize how "boring" your underwear has become. It's time to
        add some pizzazz to your underwear stock!
    
    3.  Sophia Loren has just come out with a new line of underwear called
       "Sophia's Softies". You're a *big* Sophia fan and would wear
       anything that she would wear.
    
    2.  Your washer and/or dryer are continually eating your underwear
        like they do with soxes. You've called a repairperson over and
        he/she just can't figure out why they would eat anything other
        than soxes. Maybe they think you have "eatable underwear".
    
    1.  You've got a new lover!
    
    
    
    
    
    I went through an "underwear emergency" a few months ago. My reasons
    for getting underwear were a comibation of 9. and 1. ;-)
