I used to be a general laborer in the furniture industry, although my father always taught me that it is easier to make a living with your brain than your back. I don't believe anything in life is easy, and enjoy the satisfaction of a hard days work. More people need to be like that. The world would be a better place. I enjoy a good thought provoking topic and a sense of humor. That's why I hang around jokes and riddles or philosophy all the time.

  • 1980's music video help!?!`?

    I can remember a video on MTV in the 80's that had all kinds of strange things in it. There was a pair of pants walking around in a room, and a shirt, and the tv and chairs moved around, and the shoes were dancing by themselves,......

    Does anyone remember this video? It came out around the same time as The Talking Heads, Burning Down The House, and Peter Gabriel's Sledgehammer. It sounds like it could have been a Peter Gabriel video, but I can't find it.

    I don't know the name of the song, or who did it.

    PLEASE, if anyone knows what I'm talking about leave an answer. And if you can find it on youtube, please leave a link.

    I have been wracking my brain on this for weeks. Help!?!

  • video file to audio file?

    The video is a (flv) file type and in order to use it in my playlist it needs to be a (wma). I can't find any way do change this. Other answerers have mentioned pulling it up through WMM and doind it that way, but WMM doesn't have the codec it needs to open this file. Any advise?

    Also, I posted the same question last night, just a little differently.

    Here's the link (if it works). http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ahx1j...

  • Trying to change a video file to an audio file through windows movie maker, but don't have the codec .........

    The video was downloaded from Myspace tv player. It comes up as an (flv). I was going to pull it up through WMM and place it in the audio track, then republish it to my computer as a (wma), but WMM says the codec I need is lacking, and I'm not sure what I need, or if it is even possible.

    It's nothing more than a music video, and I'd like to listen to the song in my playlist through windows media player.

  • Stubborn theater patron???

    A man was sprawled across three entire seats in a theater. When the usher came by and noticed this, he whispered to the man, "Sorry sir, but you're only allowed one seat."

    The man groaned but didn't budge. The usher became impatient.

    "Sir," the usher said, "if you don't get up from there, I'm going to have to call the manager."

    Again, the man just groaned, which infuriated the usher who turned and marched briskly back up the aisle in search of his manager. In a few moments, both the usher and the manager returned and stood over the man. Together the two of them tried repeatedly to move him, but with no success. Finally, they summoned the police. The cop surveyed the situation briefly.

    "All right, buddy. What's your name?"

    "Sam," the man moaned.

    "Where ya from, Sam?" the cop asked.

    "The balcony."

  • Can I use divX to resize my video for upload?

    I have divX, but I havn't gotten to working with it much. I have a video, and converted it to avi when I published it to the computer from Windows Movie Maker. However, the file size is huge, and even though the video itself is only five minutes long, it is Waaayy over the 100MB required.

    I will need some step-by-step with divX 'cause I'm not familiar with it.

  • Bullsht and Brilliance?

    A wealthy old lady decides to go on a photo safari in Africa,

    taking her faithful, aged poodle named Cuddles, along for the company.

    One day the poodle starts chasing butterflies and before long, Cuddles

    discovers that he's lost.. Wandering about, he notices a leopard heading

    rapidly in his direction with the intention of having lunch.

    The old poodle thinks, "Oh, oh! I'm in deep doodoo now!" Noticing

    some bones on the ground close by, he immediately settles down to chew

    on the bones with his back to the approaching cat. Just as the leopard

    is about to leap, the old poodle exclaims loudly, "Boy, that was one

    delicious leopard! I wonder if there are any more around here?"

    Hearing this, the young leopard halts his attack in mid-strike, a

    look of terror comes over him and he slinks away into the trees.

    "Whew!", says the leopard, "That was close! That old poodle nearly had

    me!"

    Meanwhile, a monkey who had been watching the whole scene from a

    nearby tree, figures he can put this knowledge to good use and trade it

    for protection from the leopard. So off he goes, but the old poodle sees

    him heading after the leopard with great speed, and figures that

    something must be up. The monkey soon catches up with the leopard,

    spills the beans and strikes a deal for himself with the leopard.

    The young leopard is furious at being made a fool of and says,

    "Here, monkey, hop on my back and see what's going to happen to that

    conniving canine!

    Now, the old poodle sees the leopard coming with the monkey on his

    back and thinks, "What am I going to do now?", but instead of running,

    the dog sits down with his back to his attackers, pretending he hasn't

    seen them yet, and just when they get close enough to hear, the old

    poodle says.

    "Where's that damn monkey? I sent him off an hour ago to bring me

    another leopard!

    Moral of this story....

    Don't mess with old folks..age and treachery will always overcome

    youth and skill! Bullshit and brilliance only come with age and

    experience.

  • On a senior citizen bus tour,?

    On a senior citizens bus tour, while the passengers were unloading to do some sightseeing, one elderly lady stopped and whispered in the driver's ear.

    She said, ''Driver, I believe that I was sexually harassed!'' The driver didn't think much of her complaint, but promised he would check into it soon.

    Later, as the passengers were unloading again, a second little old lady bent down and whispered in his ear, ''Sir, I believe I was sexually harassed!'' This time, he figured he'd better look into it.

    A few passengers had remained on the bus, and he decided to go back and question them, to find out if they knew what was going on.

    He found one little old man crawling along the bus floor beneath the seats and stooped down to question him. ''Excuse me sir, could I help you?''

    The man looked up and said, ''Well, sonny you sure can. I've lost my toupee and I'm trying to find it.....I thought I found it twice, but they were parted in the middle and mine's parted on the side."

  • Trump's Momma?

    A woman walks into a bank in New York City and asks for the loan officer. She says she's going to Europe on business for two weeks and needs to borrow $5,000. The bank officer tells her that the bank will need some kind of security for such a loan, so the woman hands over the keys to a new Rolls Royce that's parked on the street in front of the bank.

    Everything checks out, and the bank agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan. An employee drives the Rolls Royce into the bank's underground garage and parks it there.

    Two weeks later, the woman returns, repays the $5,000 and the interest, which comes to $15.41. The loan officer approaches her and says:

    "We are very happy to have had your business, and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we're a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked out your accounts and found that you were a multimillionaire. What puzzles us is why would you bother to borrow $5,000?"

    "Well, where else in Manhattan can I park my car for two weeks for fifteen bucks?"
