You haven't asked yet.

I was hoping to do something meaningful with my life.

Because I just love hearing this question.

Just lucky, I guess.

It gives my mother something to live for.

My fianc�e is awaiting his/her parole.

I'm still hoping for a shot at Miss/Mr. America.

Do you know how hard it is to get two tickets to Miss Saigon?

I'm waiting until I get to be your age.

It didn't seem worth a blood test.

I already have enough laundry to do, thank you.

Because I think it would take all the spontaneity out of dating.

My co-op board doesn't allow spouses.

I'd have to forfeit my billion dollar trust fund.

They just opened a great singles bar on my block.

I wouldn't want my parents to drop dead from sheer happiness.

I guess it just goes to prove that you can't trust those voodoo doll rituals.

What? And lose all the money I've invested in running personal ads?

I don't want to have to support another person on my paycheck.

Why aren't you thin?

I'm married to my career, although recently we have been considering a trial separation.

(Bonus reply for Single Mothers) Because having a husband and a child would be redundant.

TO ALL MY INTELLIGENT FRIENDS:




I am sending this only to my smart friends. I could not figure it out. My first thought was wrong and I had to look at the answer. See if you can figure out what these seven words all have in common?





1. Banana
2. Dresser
3. Grammar
4. Potato
5. Revive
6. Uneven
7. Assess





Are you peeking or have you already given up? Give it another try....Look at each word carefully. You'll kick yourself when you discover the answer. This is so cool..... No, it is not that they all have at least 2 double letters.... Let me know if you found the answer - I didn't! Answer is below!





























Answer:

In all of the words listed, if you take the first letter, place it at the end of the word, and then spell the word backwards, it will be the same word. Did you figure it out? No? Then send this to more people and stump them as well. Then, you'll feel better too.

At a recent computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated,



'If Ford had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon.'



In response to Bill Gates's comments, Ford issued a press release, stating:







'If Ford had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics (and I just love this part):



1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash......... twice a day.



2. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car.



3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason.



You would have to pull to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue.



For some reason you would simply accept this.



4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.



5. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive - but would run on only five percent of the roads.



6. The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single 'This Car Has Performed An Illegal Operation' warning light.



(I love the next one!!!)

7. The airbag system would ask 'Are you sure?' before deploying.



8. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.



9. Every time a new car was introduced, car buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as in the old car.



10. You'd have to press the 'Start' button to turn the engine off.



PS - I 'd like to add that when all else fails, you could call 'customer service' in some foreign country, and be instructed in some foreign language how to fix your car yourself!!!!

Renault and Ford are working on a new small car for women.

They are mixing the Clio and the Taurus, and calling it the "Clitaurus." It comes in pink, and the average male thief won't be able to find it, even if someone tells him where it is.

Velma, Thelma and Alice accidentally walk into a male strip club.

Before they realize what's happened, they're seated in the front row.

A well-endowed male dancer begins gyrating all around them.

When Velma sees this, she has a stroke. After a few seconds, Thelma has a stroke.

Alice, with a slight grin on her face, nearly has a stroke...........................





...but her arms aren't quite long enough!

A woman in Brooklyn decided to prepare her Will and make her final requests.
She told her rabbi she had two final requests.
First, she wanted to be cremated, and second, she wanted her ashes scattered all over Bloomingdales.
"Why Bloomingdales?" asked the rabbi.
"Then I'll be sure my daughters visit me twice a week."
