Great Writer

"Great Writer"

There was once a young man who, in his youth,
professed a desire to become a "great" writer.

When asked to define "great", he said: "I want to write
stuff that the whole world will read, stuff that people will
react to on a truly emotional level, stuff that will make
them scream, cry, wail, howl in pain, desperation and
anger!"

He now works for Microsoft writing error messages.

"Forgetful George"

"George is SO forgetful," the sales manager complained
to his secretary. "It's a wonder he can sell anything. I
asked him to pick me up some sandwiches on his way
back from lunch, and I'm not sure he'll even remember
to come back."

Just then the door flew open, and in bounced George.
"You'll never guess what happened!" he shouted. "While
I was at lunch, I met old man Brown, who hasn't bought
anything from us for five years. Well, we got to talking and
he gave me this half-million dollar order!"

"See," sighed the sales manager to his secretary. "I told
you he'd forget the sandwiches."
