Jokes you can tell it class- "The millionare with alligators" Once there was a millionaire, who collected live alligators. He kept them in the pool in back of his mansion. The millionaire also had a beautiful daughter who was single. One day he decides to throw a huge party, and during the party he announces, "My dear guests...I have a proposition to every man here. I will give one million dollars or my daughter to the man who can swim across this pool full of alligators and emerge unharmed!" As soon as he finished his last word, there was the sound of a large SPLASH!! There was one guy in the pool swimming with all he could...the crowd cheered him on as he kept stroking. Finally, he made it to the other side unharmed. The millionaire was impressed. He said, "My boy that was incredible! Fantastic! I didn't think it could be done! Well I must keep my end of the bargain...which do you want, my daughter or the one million dollars?" The guy says, "Listen, I don't want your money! And I don't want your daughter! I want the person who pushed me in that WATER!!! ============================================================= Sponsor: ============================================================= 4. Technology Tidbit- A question from Zoe of Portland, Maine: "I'm hesitant to sign-up for any free service on the Internet. It seems like every web site will give you something for free. I am afraid that a bill is going to pop up in my mailbox or I'll get 400 or so calls from Telemarketers. So What's the Catch? Why do they give it to me for free? Is it safe? Should I use this services with me students, like e-mail? Are they watching me?" TeAch-nology.com Responds: Your right, there are a lot a free sites our there that provide you with free products or services. Most of these sites make their money from advertising. Some from demographic information and e-mail addresses, so that they can sens ads they think you would like, your way. Most of these products and services are safe to use for personal or professional use, but don't count on them. Most of these services are provided by brand new companies who knows if they are going to go bankrupt. The Rule of thumb for using free services is to only give out your work information and to choose services from companies that have a history. ************************************************************* To ask the TeAch-nology.com staff a question go to: http://www.teach-nology.com/help/ask_a_tech_expert/ ************************************************************* ============================================================= Sponsor: ============================================================= 5.
