    I thought you guys would get a kick out of this. It was on the (usually)Monthly Dilbert Newsletter (love the comic and the very short lived t.v. show)


    A Sign over the office drinking fountain:


    "Do not pour anything into the
    fountain. It blocks the water
    filter and reduces the water
    pressure."

    It was on the Engineering floor and -- God help us -- we make
    helicopters.

    I sure hope someone changed the filter occasionally...

    I think a few people here may not have heard of the companion to read-only memory, the write-only memory chip.

    This site has photos of the two page ad taken out for it way back in 1972. (The ad's the best bit.)

    A memory chip that takes and takes and takes and doesn't give it back? Let's see, since mother and daughter are taken, I guess you mount it on wifeboards? *flees*
