abstract: Recent proposals/suggestions by the chief of the U.S. Selective
Service System (the agency that registers men of age for potential
compulsory military service) include:
- Young Americans regularly inform the government about whether they have
training in niche specialties needed in the armed services
- Increase the maximum draft age from 25 to 34
- Require women to register with Selective Service
punch line: "Some of the skill areas where the armed forces are facing
'critical shortages' include linguists and computer specialists, the agency
said."
Yahoo. I could go from unemployment to cannon fodder.
I guess our Canadian posters can be glad this is one offer that's only good
in the U.S.

Au contraire! The possibilities are endless. From taping up that unsightly
rats nest of wires behind your computer, to holding shut that recalcitrant
laptop. Cat5 across a bare section of floor is not a trip hazard if
covered over with a strip of the handyman's secret weapon. One's
collection of certificates can be tastefully taped to any available wall.
In fact, attractive frames for them can also be simply made from the gray
wonder fastener. Lose the screws to that case after replacing the
hard drive? Not a problem if a roll of duct tape is handy. Problem with
user access to certain (cough) sites on the net? simply tape over all but
a half-inch strip of his monitor for truly 'restricted viewing'! Lusers
that are unable to resist the urge to click any attractive thing that
arrives in their inbox? Simply tape their wrists to their ankles. In this
position, they will be naturally, and effectively, urged to restrain their
impulse to open anything. The list goes on, but I leave it to your own
native inventiveness to find more uses.

I wouldn't have thought of more than one or two of those. I suppose I'm
revealed as nothing but an ignorant nancy boy, worthy of the title of
neither "IT professional" nor "man." At least I'm going out like one: I
shall now force-feed myself into my own garbage disposal. In retrospect,
it's good that I opted for the one horsepower model.

| Good evening!
The last scene was interesting from the point of view of a professional
logician because it contained a number of logical fallacies -- that is,
invalid propositional constructions and syllogistic forms -- of the type so
often committed by my wife.
"All wood burns," states Sir Bedevere. "Therefore," he concludes, "all that
burns is wood."
This is, of course, pure bullsh*t! Universal affirmatives can only be
partially converted. All of Alma Cogan is dead, but only some of the class
of dead people are Alma Cogan. Obvious one would think.
However, my wife does not understand this necessary limitation of the
conversion of a proposition. Consequently, she does not understand me. For
how can a woman expect to appreciate a professor of logic if the simplest
cloth-eared syllogism causes her to flounder.
For example: given the premise, "All fish live underwater" and "All mackerel
are fish", my wife will conclude, not that "All mackerel live underwater",
but that "If she buys kippers it will not rain" or that "Trout live in
trees" or even that "I do not love her any more."
This she calls "using her intuition". I call it "crap" and it gets me very
IRRITATED because it is not logical!
"There will be no supper tonight," she will sometimes cry upon my return
home.
"Why not?" I will ask.
"Because I have been screwing the milkman all day," she will say, quite
oblivious of the howling error she has made.
"But," I will wearily point out, "even given that the activities of screwing
the milkman and getting supper are mutually exclusive, now that the screwing
is over, surely then, supper may, logically, be got."
"You don't love me any more!" she will now often postulate. "If you did, you
would give me one now and again so that I would not have to rely on that
rancid Pakistani for my orgasms!"
"I will give you one after you have got me my supper!" I now usually scream,
"but not before" -- as you understand, making her bang contingent on the
arrival of my supper.
"God, you turn me on when you're angry, you ancient brute!" she now
mysteriously deduces, forcing her sweetly throbbing tongue down my throat.
"F*ck supper!" I now invariably conclude, throwing logic somewhat joyously
to the four winds, and so we thrash about on our milk-stained floor,
transported by animal passion, until we sink back, exhausted, onto the
cartons of yogurt....
I'm afraid I seem to have strayed somewhat from my original brief. But in a
nutshell, sex is more fun than logic. One cannot prove this, but it IS in
the same sense that Mount Everest IS, or that Alma Cogan ISN'T.
Goodnight.

Agreed. But I believe the original quote has been manhandled and "The lack
of" has been dropped. I want to say it was Mark Twain, but, of course, I
could be wrong.

If you need a lack of, try this: "Evil is a total lack of empathy.".

Actually I think you are correct that the original quote has been
mishandled but I believe the missing part is "The love of "
"The love money is the root of evil" although I don't know where the quote
originated.
