Having lost over £1 billion pounds in taxes and given away the personal details of 25 million people in the UK, do you think that senior officers in HM Customs and Revenue have earned their bonuses?

Or is regular exercise a better way to lose weight?

The first divorce directly related to the 9/11 terrorist attack has been foled in New York. It appears that a guy with an office oon the 103rd floor of the World Trade Centre spent the morning at his girlfriends apartment with his phone turned off. He wasn't watching TV either.

When he turned his phone back on at about 11am it ranng immediately. It was his hysterical wife "Are you OK? Where are you?

He said, "What do you mean? I'm in the office of course!"

Men Are Just Happier People-- What do you expect from such simple creatures? Your last name stays put. The garage is all yours. Wedding plans take care of themselves. Chocolate is just another snack. You can be President. You can never be pregnant. You can wear a white T-shirt to a water park. You can wear NO shirt to a water park. Car mechanics tell you the truth. The world is your urinal. You never have to drive to another gas station restroom because this one is just too icky. You don't have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt. Same work, more pay. Wrinkles add character. Wedding dress $500 0. Tux rental-$100. People never stare at your chest when you're talking to them. New shoes don't cut, blister, or mangle your feet. One mood all the time. !

Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat. You know stuff about tanks. A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase. You can open all your own jars. You get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness. If someone forgets to invite you, he or she can still be your friend.

Your underwear is $8.95 for a three-pack. Three pairs of shoes are more than enough. You almost never have strap problems in public. You are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes. Everything on your face stays its original color. The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades. You only have to shave your face and neck.

You can play with toys all your life. One wallet and one pair of shoes -- one color for all seasons. You can wear shorts no matter how your legs look. You can 'do' your nails with a pocket knife. You have freedom of choice concerning growing a mustache.

You can do Christmas shopping for 25 relatives on December 24 in 25 minutes.

No wonder men are happier.

I'm off to a rum tasting session tomorrow :-)
