"Microsoft Commercial"

You may have noticed that a new TV ad for Microsoft's Internet
Explorer e-mail program uses the musical theme of the
"Confutatis Maledictis" from the Mozart's Requiem.

"Where do you want to go today?" is the cheery line on the
screen. Meanwhile, the chorus sings "Confutatis maledictis,
flammis acribus addictis," which means, "The damned and
accursed are convicted to flames of hell."

"Honesty"

Dear Ann Landers,

I am a sailor in the New Zealand Navy. My parents live in the
suburb of Seatoun and one of my sisters, who lives in
Palmerston North, is married to an Australian.

My Father and Mother have recently been arrested for growing
and selling marijuana and are currently dependent on my two
sisters, who are prostitutes in Auckland.

I have two brothers, one who is currently serving a non-parole
life sentence in Mt. Eden Prison, Auckland, for the rape & murder
of a teenage boy in 1994, the other currently being held in the
Wellington remand center on charges of incest with his three
children.

I have recently become engaged to marry a former Thai prostitute
who lives in Christchurch and indeed is still a part time "working
girl" in a Brothel, however, her time there is limited as she
has recently been infected with an STD. We intend to marry as
soon as possible and are currently looking into the possibility
of opening our own brothel with my fiancee utilizing her
knowledge of the industry working as the manager. I am hoping
my two sisters would be interested in joining our team. Although
I would prefer them not to prostitute themselves, at least it would
get them off the streets and hopefully the heroin.

My problem is this: I love my fiancee and look forward to bringing
her into the family and of course I want to be totally honest with
her. Should I tell her about my brother-in-law being employed by
Microsoft?
