It may be a great post (which I don't agree with, but that is besides) but that is no reason to post it twice. Here's the first one. There is also somthing like a discussion following it.
From that discussion I lift just one question: if you like those posts and you have any French friends, please forward one of the posts to them. If you don't have any French friends, imagine having them and forwarding one of those posts.
Pride should be able to stand without the crutches of loathing for other people.

A public service
I dont know how you feel about buying a new car , but It is an experience I don't enjoy. Finally there is a "FREE" site that will really give you a "TRUE" picture of what a car can be purchased for. NO credit cards, you don't have to leave phone number for a call back quote by some pesky salesman , the site is FANTASTIC .......check it out . NO STRINGS AND FREE .....I like that!

Steel "true car " works!
Steel I just purchased a VW Eos Hardtop/convertible for my wife , and saved approximately $2150 off MSRP .....When Buying start out with the dealers invoice and holdback, and then go from there . Actually I could have done better , but I had known the salesman back from HS days , and that perhaps compromised my bargaining ability!Originally posted by steelman View Post
Well at least now you can walk into a car dealer and not feel compelled to wear your trousers with the zipper in the rear...LOL.
The site again www.truecar.comComment

The Job Hunt For The Unemployed!
Job Hunt
1. My first job was working in an Orange Juice factory, but I got canned. Couldn't concentrate.
2. Then I worked in the woods as a Lumberjack, but just couldn't hack it, so they gave me the axe.
3. After that, I tried being a Tailor, but wasn't suited for it -- mainly because it was a sew-sew job.
4. Next, I tried working in a Muffler Factory, but that was too exhausting.
5. Then, tried being a Chef - figured it would add a little spice to my life, but just didn't have the thyme.
6. Next, I attempted being a Deli Worker, but any way I sliced it...couldn't cut the mustard.
7. My best job was a Musician, but eventually found I wasn't noteworthy.
8. I studied a long time to become a Doctor, but didn't have any patience.
9. Next, was a job in a Shoe Factory. Tried hard but just didn't fit in.
10. I became a Professional Fisherman, but discovered I couldn't live on my net income.
11. Managed to get a good job working for a Pool Maintenance Company, but the work was just too draining
12. So then I got a job in a Workout Center, but they said I wasn't fit for the job.
13. After many years of trying to find steady work, I finally got a job as an Historian - until I realized there was no future in it.
14. My last job was working in Starbucks, but had to quit because it was the same old grind.
15. SO, I TRIED Retirement AND FOUND I'M PERFECT FOR THE JOB!Comment

Now About Dat Woodpecker!
Two Woodpeckers...
A Mexican woodpecker and a Canadian woodpecker were in Mexico arguing
about which country had the toughest trees. The Mexican woodpecker
claimed Mexico had a tree that no woodpecker could peck.
The Canadian woodpecker accepted his challenge and promptly pecked a
hole in the tree with no problem. The Mexican woodpecker was amazed.
The Canadian woodpecker then challenged the Mexican woodpecker to peck
a tree in Canada that was absolutely 'impeccable' (a term frequently
used by woodpeckers ). The Mexican woodpecker expressed confidence that
he could do it and accepted the challenge.
The two of them flew to Canada where the Mexican woodpecker
successfully pecked the so-called 'impeccable' tree almost without
breaking a sweat.
Both woodpeckers were now terribly confused.. How is it that the
Canadian woodpecker was able to peck the Mexican tree, and the Mexican
woodpecker was able to peck the Canadian tree, yet neither was able to
peck the tree in their own country?After much woodpecker pondering,
they both came to the same conclusion:
Apparently, Tiger Woods was right, when he said, your pecker gets
harder when you're away from home.Comment
