How
to install heart
Customer
Service (CS) Rep. : Yes, Ma'am, how can I help you
today?
Customer: Well, after much consideration, I've
decided to install LOVE. Can you guide me through the
process?
CS Rep. : Yes, I can help you. Are you ready to
proceed?
Customer: Well, I'm not very technical, but I
think I'm ready to install now. What do I do first?
CS
Rep. : The first step is to open your HEART. Have you located
your HEART ma'am?
Customer: Yes I have, but there are
several other programs running right now. Is it okay to install
while they are running?
CS Rep. : What programs are
running ma'am?
Customer: Let's see, I have PAST-HURT.EXE,
LOW-ESTEEM.EXE, GRUDGE.EXE, and RESENTMENT.COM running right
now.
CS Rep. : No problem. LOVE will gradually erase
PAST-HURT.EXE from your current operating system. It may remain
in your permanent memory, but it will no longer disrupt other
programs. LOVE will eventually overwrite LOW-ESTEEM.EXE with a
module of its own called HIGH-ESTEEM.EXE. However, you have to
completely turn off GRUDGE.EXE and RESENTMENT.COM. Those programs
prevent LOVE from being properly installed. Can you turn those
off ma'am?
Customer: I don't know how to turn them off.
Can you tell me how ?
CS
Rep. : My pleasure. Go to your Start menu and invoke
FORGIVENESS.EXE. Do this as many times as necessary until
GRUDGE.EXE and RESENTMENT.COM have been completely
erased.
Customer: Okay, done. LOVE has started installing
itself automatically. Is that normal?
CS Rep. : Yes. You
should receive a message that says it will reinstall for the life
of your HEART. Do you see that message?
Customer: Yes I
do. Is it completely installed?
CS Rep. : Yes, but
remember that you have only the base program. You need to begin
connecting to other HEART's in order to get the
upgrades.
Customer: Oops. I have an error message already.
What should I do?
CS Rep. : What does the message
say?
Customer: It says 'ERROR 412 - PROGRAM NOT RUN ON
INTERNAL COMPONENTS.' What does that mean?
CS Rep. : Don't
worry ma'am, that's a common problem. It means that the LOVE
program is set up to run on external HEARTS but has not yet been
run on your HEART. It is one of those complicated programming
things, but in non-technical terms it means you have to 'LOVE'
your own machine before it can 'LOVE' others.
Customer:
So what should I do?
CS Rep. : Can you pull down the
directory called 'SELF-ACCEPTANCE'?
Customer:
Yes, I have it.
CS Rep. : Excellent. You're getting good
at this.
Customer: Thank you.
CS Rep. : You're
welcome. Click on the following files and then copy them to the
'MYHEART' directory: FORGIVE-SELF.DOC, REALIZE-WORTH.TXT, and
ACKNOWLEDGE-LIMITATIONS.DOC. The system will overwrite any
conflicting files and begin patching any faulty programming.
Also, you need to delete VERBOSE-SELF-CRITIC.EXE from all
directories, and then empty your recycle bin afterwards to make
sure it is completely gone and never comes back.
Customer:
Got it. Hey! My HEART is filling up with new files. SMILE.MPG is
playing on my monitor right now and it shows that PEACE.EXE, and
CONTENTMENT.COM are copying themselves all over my HEART. Is this
normal?
CS Rep. : Sometimes. For others it takes a while,
but eventually everything gets downloaded at the proper time. So,
LOVE is installed and running. You should be able to handle it
from here. One more thing before I go.
Customer:
Yes?
CS Rep. : LOVE is freeware. Be sure to give it and
its various modules to everybody you meet. They will in turn
share it with other people and they will return some similarly
cool modules back to you.
Customer: I will. Thanks for
your help. By the way, what's your name?
CS Rep. : You can
call me the Divine Cardiologist, also known as The Great
Physician, but most call me God. Most people feel all they need
is an annual check-up to stay heart-healthy, but the manufacturer
(Me) suggests a schedule of daily maintenance for maximum
efficiency. Put another way, keep in touch.........
Life
explained...
On
the first day God created the cow. God said, "You must go to
field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have
calves and give milk to support the farmer. I will give you a
life span of sixty years." The cow said, "That's a
kind of a tough life you want me to live for sixty years. Let me
have twenty years and I'll give back the other forty." And
God agreed. On the second day, God created the dog. God said,
"Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone
who comes in or walks past. I will give you a life span of twenty
years." The dog said, "That's too long to be
barking. Give me ten years and I'll give back the other ten."
So God agreed (sigh). On the third day God created the
monkey. God said, "Entertain people, do monkey tricks, make
them laugh. I'll give you a twenty year life span." Monkey
said, "How boring, monkey tricks for twenty years? I don't
think so. Dog gave you back ten, so that's what I'll do too,
okay?" And God agreed again. On the fourth day God
created man. God said, "Eat, sleep, play, have sex, enjoy.
Do nothing, just enjoy, enjoy. I'll give you twenty years."
Man said, "What? Only twenty years? No way man. Tell you
what, I'll take my twenty, and the forty cow gave back, and the
ten dog gave back and the ten monkey gave back. That makes
eighty, okay?" "Okay," said God. "You've
got a deal." So that is why for the first twenty years
we eat, sleep, play, have sex, enjoy, and do nothing; for the
next forty years we slave in the sun to support our family; for
the next ten years we do monkey tricks to entertain our
grandchildren; and for the last ten years we sit in front of the
house and bark at everybody.
Happy
marriage...
A
lawyer married a woman who had previously divorced ten husbands.
On their wedding night, she told her new husband, "Please be
gentle, I'm still a virgin."
"What?" said
the puzzled groom. "How can that be if you've been married
ten times?"
"Well, Husband #1 was a sales
representative; he kept telling me how great it was going to be.
Husband #2 was in software services; he was never really sure
how it was supposed to function, but he said he'd look into it
and get back to me. Husband #3 was from field services; he
said everything checked out diagnostically but he just couldn't
get the system up. Husband #4 was in telemarketing; even
though he knew he had the order, he didn't know when he would be
able to deliver. Husband #5 was an engineer; he understood
the basic process but wanted three years to research, implement,
and design a new state-of-the-art method. Husband #6 was from
finance and administration; he thought he knew how, but he wasn't
sure whether it was his job or not. Husband #7 was in
marketing; although he had a nice product, he was never sure how
to position it. Husband #8 was a psychologist; all he ever
did was talk about it. Husband #9 was a gynecologist; all he
did was look at it. Husband #10 was a stamp collector; all he
ever did was... God! I miss him! But now that I've married you,
I'm really excited!"
"Good," said the new
husband, "but, why?" "You're a lawyer. This
time I know I'm gonna get screwed!"
