DO MEN REMEMBER ANNIVERSARIES?

A woman awakes during the night to find that her husband was not in their bed.

She
goes downstairs to look for him.

She finds him sitting at the kitchen table with a hot cup of coffee in front of him. He appears to be in deep thought, just staring at the wall.

She watches as he wipes a tear from his eye and takes a sip of his coffee.

'What's the matter, dear?' she whispers as she steps into the room
, 'Why are you down here at this time of night?'

The husband looks up from his coffee,


Husband:
'I am just remembering when we first met 20 years ago and started dating. You were only 16. Do you remember back then?' he says solemnly.

The wife is touched to tears thinking that her husband is so caring, so sensitive.

'Yes, I do' she replies.

The husband pauses. The words were not coming easily.


Husband:
'Do you remember when your father caught us in the back seat of my car?'

'Yes, I remember!' said the wife, lowering herself into a chair beside him.

Husband:
'Do you remember when he shoved the shotgun in my face and said,

'Either you marry my daughter, or I will send you to jail for 20 years?'

'I remember that too' she replies softly.

He wipes another tear from his cheek and says
...

Husband: 'If I Choose to go to Prison, I would have been released today.'

WHO KNEW THIS???

Here is a Important massage I got


I have been driving for over 50 years. I would think I should have noticed the little secret on my dashboard that was staring me in

the face the whole time...I didn't...and I bet you didn't either...

Have you ever rented or borrowed a car and when arriving at the petrol station wondered...mmm, which side is the petrol filler cap?

My normal solution was to stick my head out the window, strain my neck and look, try to see in the side mirrors or even get out of the car!!!!

Well ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to share with you my little secret so you will no longer look like Ace Ventura on your way to the petrol station or put your neck at risk of uncomfort or injury.

If you look at your petrol gauge, you will see a small icon of a petrol pump?

The handle of the petrol pump will extend out on either the left or right side of the petrol pump?

If your tank is on the left, the handle will be on the left? If your tank is on the right, the handle will be on the right (see photo). It is that simple!

I don't know how you feel right now but when I found out this morning I felt cheated!

WHY don't the dealers share such important information with car buyers?

I don't understand why this isn't in the Highway Code or even the car manufacturers manual??

I don't get why any mechanic I have ever been too or know has even thought of mentioning this to me??

The only possible explanation can be that all these people probably don't even know!

Go out and share the worlds best kept auto secret with your friends as this is information is way too important to be kept secret.

THE BEST OF THE WORST

THE WORST HIJACKING


We shall never know the identity of the man who in 1976 made the most unsuccessful hijack attempt ever. On a flight across America, he rose from his seat, drew gun and took the stewardess hostage.
'Take me to Detroit,' he demanded.
'We're already going to Detroit,' she replied.
'Oh ... good,' he said, and sat down again.
__________________________________________________________________

THE WORST BANK ROBBERY


In August 1975 three men were on their way in to rob the Royal Bank of Scotland at Rothesay, when they got stuck in the revolving doors. They had to be helped free by the staff and, after thanking everyone, sheepishly left the building.
A few minutes later they returned and announced their intention of robbing the bank, but none of the staff believed them.
When they demanded 5,000 pounds in cash, the head cashier laughed at them, convinced that it was a practical joke.. Then one of the men jumped over the counter, but fell to the floor clutching his ankle. The other two tried to make their getaway, but got trapped in the revolving doors again.
__________________________________________________________________

THE WORST ANIMAL RESCUE


During the firemen's strike of 1978, the British Army had taken over emergency fire fighting and on 14 January they were called out by an elderly lady in South London to retrieve her cat which had trapped up a tree.
They arrived with impressive haste and soon discharged their duty. So grateful was the lady that she invited them all in for tea. Driving off later, with fond farewells completed, they ran over the cat and killed it!!

LAWYERS Vs INSURANCE


This is the best lawyer story of the year, decade, and probably the century.
A Charlotte, NC, lawyer purchased a box of very rare and expensive cigars, and then insured them against fire among other things. Within a month having smoked his entire stockpile of these great cigars and without yet having made even his first premium payment on the policy, the lawyer filed a claim against the insurance company.
In his claim, the lawyer stated the cigars were lost 'in a series of small fires.'
The insurance company refused to pay, citing the obvious reason: that the man had consumed the cigars in the normal fashion. The lawyer sued and won!
In delivering the ruling, the judge agreed with the insurance company that the claim was frivolous. The Judge stated, nevertheless, that the lawyer held a policy from the company in which it had warranted that the cigars were insurable and also guaranteed that it would insure them against fire, without defining what is considered to be unacceptable fire, and was obligated to pay the claim. Rather than endure lengthy and costly appeal process, the insurance company accepted the ruling and paid $15,000 to the lawyer for his loss of the rare cigars lost in the 'fires.'

NOW FOR THE BEST PART...

After the lawyer cashed the check, the insurance company had him arrested on 24 counts of ARSON!!!!
With his own insurance claim and testimony from the previous case being used against him, the lawyer was convicted of intentionally burning his insured property and was sentenced to 24 months in jail and a $24,000 fine.
This is a true story and was the 1st place winner in the recent Criminal Lawyers Award Contest.

Reasons for ComplanisReasons for Complains

A couple came for counseling after 20 years of marriage. When asked what the problem was, the wife gave a listing of every problem they had.

She went on and on and on: neglect, lack of intimacy, emptiness, loneliness, feeling unloved and unlovable, blah, blah, blah and blah...

Finally, after allowing this to go on for a sufficient length of time, the therapist got up, walked around the desk and, after asking the wife to stand, embraced and kissed her passionately as her husband watched with a raised eyebrow. The woman shut up and quietly sat down as though in a daze.

The therapist turned to the husband and said,
"This is what your wife needs at least three times a week. Can you do this?"

The husband thought for a moment and replied,
"Well, I can drop her off here on Mondays and Wednesdays, but on Fridays, I fish."

Knight Rider... Other Characters

Sarah Graiman

is the daughter of Charles Graiman and childhood friend of Mike Traceur. She is a 24 year-old Ph.D. student at Stanford when the movie starts. K.I.T.T. contacts her to let her know that her father, who created both him and the original K.I.T.T. has gone missing. With Mike, she and K.I.T.T. go on a search for him.

Trivia

  • In Episode 102: Journey to the End of Knight she tells Mike that her bucket list of things to do before she dies includes summiting Kilimanjaro, sailing around the world, and making love on a beach while listening to Puccini.



Charles Graiman




is the father of Sarah Graiman, and designer of both the Knight Industries Two Thousand and Knight Industries Three Thousand versions of K.I.T.T.

It was Charles Graiman who chose to send K.I.T.T. to Mike Traceur for help in the Knight Rider movie.

In the first episode of the 2008 Knight Rider television

series it can be seen that he is very proud of K.I.T.T. when he is able to adapt quickly to survive a missile impact. While worried about his daughter's safety in the burning car, he is also able to put aside his concerns and focus on downloading the data she obtained, even if it means putting her into slight additional danger. At the end of the episode, he has a brief conversation with Alex Torres about Mike's missing memories from Iraq, which suggests that he knows something about what happened.



Billy Morgan

is the head research technician at Knight Industries.

He has seven advanced degrees in math and physics, including

  • applied physics
  • quantum physics
  • mechanical engineering
  • electrical engineering
  • chemistry
  • discrete mathematics
  • applied mathematics
He collects comic books and sci-fi collectibles, and is a Doctor Who fan. He enjoys games such as Planetary Warcraft and Gears of War. His hobbies also include making homemade rockets. Billy is very squeamish. In Episode 101: Knight in Shining Armor, he throws up whe n the "package" has his thumb cut off, and then faints when KITT cauterizes the wound.


Zoe Chae



is the office administrator for Knight Industries. Although she seems ditsy at times, she is actually quite intelligent and can hold her own in the

secretive environment. She speaks 9 languages. Her sense of humor is quite snarky, and frequently aimed at Billy Morgan.


In Episode 103: Knight of the Iguana, she and Mike go undercover together as a honeymooning surfer couple. She is assigned to the mission because she can surf and speaks Spanish. Her glee in the role makes Mike uncomfortable.

Trivia

  • In Episode 104: A Hard Day's Knight, Mike, under the influence of a truth serum, reveals that Billy calls her the "Asian Sensation" behind her back.





Alex Torres


is an F.B.I. agent and the boss of Knight Industries. His focus is on the success of the mission, rather than the safety of the agents.

In Episode 101: Knight in Shining Armor, K.I.T.T. discovers that most of his records are classified. In a short scene with Charles Graiman at the end of the episode it is revealed that he is somehow linked to Mike's missing memories, and determined to keep Mike from remembering everything.





Knight Rider... Mike Traceur


Mike Traceur is the estranged son of Michael Knight. He is the childhood friend and former fiancée of Sarah Graiman.

Personality
Mike is charming and outgoing. He is an excellent fighter, and has no hesitations about using his fists to obtain results. He is also very loyal to his friends. He is something of a lady's man, and enjoys flirting when the chance arises.

History

Youth

Mike is the son of Michael Knight and Jennifer Traceur. As a child he did not know his father, or even his father's name. According to his own admission, he had a difficult childhood and didn't have a fantastic bond with his mother. While he enjoyed his time with Sarah Graiman, he left his life behind to enlist in the US Army Rangers.

As an Army Ranger, Mike served in Iraq. He also did special classified missions. During a classified mission to Beirut he made a quick call to Sarah Graiman, proposing. Sarah accepted, but Mike then vanished for the next three years. He has no memory of much of this time period, including the trip to Beirut.

Recruitment by Knight Industries

Charles Graiman, the creator of KITT, had left instructions that should anything happen to him, KITT was to secure Sarah's safety and then find Mike. They find Mike attempting to raise cash quickly to pay off a large debt to some men who are holding his roommate captive. He agrees to help Sarah only when she promises to pay off the debt, and when he realizes that she is in immediate danger from mercenaries who have followed her to him. During their efforts to save Charles, Mike's mother is shot and killed. On the way to her funeral, Charles reveals that he's re-forming FLAG. He'd like Mike to drive KITT. Mike refuses, claiming that he doesn't believe the same things that Charles does. At the funeral, Mike meets his father, who tells his son what Wilton Knight had said on his deathbed: one man can make a difference. As they say goodbye, Mike asks if he will see his father again, and his father says that he hopes so. Mike changes his mind and agrees to become KITT's driver.

Name Change

During Episode 101: Knight in Shining Armor, a simple retrieval mission is repeatedly derailed by mercenaries from Mike's past. Realizing that this is a problem, Carrie Ruvai fakes his death. Forced to choose a new name for himself, he suggests Michael Long. Zoe and Billy both insist this is a porn-star name. A few minutes later he introduces himself to Sarah as Michael Knight.

Memory Gaps

As Mike starts to work for FLAG it becomes obvious that there are large gaps in his memory from his years in the Army. People he can't remember claim to know him from places he doesn't remember going. KITT confirms that there are many gaps in Mike's service record, and he cannot help Mike fill them. Sarah, when questioned, says that Mike did not tell her he was going undercover in any way; he just disappeared. Carrie Ruvai obtains some classified files for Mike, but even those are not complete.

During his 2nd mission, Mike accidentally brushes his army tattoo against KITT's hood. He is amazed when KITT lights up with files and information on his forgotten past which he tries desperately to read. The approach of the bad guys forces Sarah to hide the files by pushing Mike down onto them and jumping on top of him as if they were making out. By the time they can check again the files are gone. Because they were on KITT's exterior, the car itself did not see them. and Mike cannot figure out how to re-activate them.


Relationships

Romantic

  • Sarah Graiman: Mike's childhood friend and former fiancée is now his partner at work. Although he frequently denies that they are still involved, and she suggests that she doesn't want to date him again, it is clear that both still care for each other. Mike feels a responsibility to look out for Sarah's safety, despite the fact that she is trained as an agent. It is clear that Sarah's father believes Mike should take care of her as well.
  • Mysterious Woman: On his first mission, Mike meets a hispanic woman who appears to know him well. KITT finds footage which shows Mike sharing an intimate lunch with the woman in Beirut, shot on the same day that Mike called Sarah and proposed to her before disappearing. Mike insists that he has never been to Beirut. When the woman realizes that Mike truly does not remember this part of his past she is horrified.

Friendly

  • KITT: Michael quickly develops a camraderie with KITT, watching old western movies with him and choosing his team in water-gun fights.

Logical Inconsistencies

  • According to KITT, in "Episode 101: Knight in Shining Armor," the missile was tracking Mike and not KITT, who had made his own heat signature neutral. It is unclear how the missile could sense Mike's heat signature inside the neutral KITT, or why Sarah was not similarly a target. ( this may be due to tat the missile was not homing in on Mike's heat, perhaps his DNA or other bio signatures )
  • In the Knight Rider movie, Sarah claims that she didn't hear from Mike after he left for Iraq. In "A Knight In Shining Armor," she says that he called her once after he left and proposed, after which she didn't hear from him again. ( Perhaps she was trying to ignore the humiliation)
  • In the third episode, "Episode 103: Knight of the Iguana", a mercenary recognized Mike, and seemed unsurprised that he was not dead.

Why Bill Gates decides to Sell OFF Microsoft?



A Letter from Banta Singh (a guy from India) to Mr. Bill Gates

Subject: Problems with my new computer



Dear Mr. Bill Gates,



We have bought a computer for our home and we have found some problems, which I want to bring to your notice.



1. There is a button 'start' but there is no 'stop' button. We request you to check this.


2. One doubt is whether any 're-scooter' is available in system? I find only 're-cycle', but I own a scooter at my home.


3. There is 'Find' button but it is not working properly. My wife lost the door key and we tried a lot trace the key with this 'find' button, but was unable to trace. Please rectify this problem.


4. My child learnt 'Microsoft word' now he wants to learn 'Mi crosoft sentence', so when you will provide that?


5. I bought computer, CPU, mouse and keyboard, but there is only one icon which shows 'My Computer': when you will ovide the remaining items?


6. It is surprising that windows says 'MY Pictures' but there is not even a single photo of mine. So when will you keep my photo in that ?


7. There is 'MICROSOFT OFFICE' what about 'MICROSOFT HOME' since I use the PC at home only.


8. You provided 'My Recent Documents'. When you will provide 'My Past Documents'?


9. You provide 'My Network Places'. For God sake please do not provide 'My Secret Places'. I do not want to let my wife know where I go after my office hours.





Regards,

Banta





PS: Last one to Mr. Bill Gates:


Sir, how is it that your name is Gates but you are selling WINDOWS?

Memory Clinic

Two elderly couples were enjoying friendly conversation when one of the men asked the other,

"Fred, how was the memory clinic you went to last month?"
"Outstanding," Fred replied.
"They taught us all the latest psychological techniques: visualization, association, etc. It was great."

"That's great! And what was the name of the clinic?"

Fred went blank. He thought and thought, but couldn't remember.
Then a smile broke across his face and he asked,

"What do you call that flower with the long stem and thorns?"
"You mean a rose?"
"Yes, that's it!"

He turned to his wife,

"Rose, what was the name of that memory clinic?"

Law Joke

An attorney telephoned the governor just after midnight, insisting that he talk to him regarding a matter of utmost urgency.

An aide eventually agreed to wake up the governor.

"So, what is it?" grumbled the governor.

"Judge Garber has just died" said the attorney, "and I want to take his place."

The governor replied: "Well, it's OK with me if it's OK with the undertaker."

Knight Rider... the 2008 series













Yeey... The New Knight Rider season Started officially. Just finished watching episode 1, twice. ",

AS all the fans are debating, there are lots of pro and cons in the the show and they differ greatly from one viewer to another.


The major debate is about the car.. KITT 3000. As you may know we were fallen in love with the KITT 2000. So anything other is good enough to be the second best. That happened to this car. Although i initially liked the car, after reading all the fan sites i started to have second thoughts.. Anyway, After the feature TV film, they have included a attack ode and a transformation feature. My personnel opinion is that attack mode is more cooler than the regular mode but the transformed pick up sucks :p Most of the fans around the world do not like the ford mustang GT 500 very well. I have to agree though cos there are lot cool designs out there. It think the creators definitely needed a ideal American model :p There were lot nice looking cars in episode one and too than the KITT:( But hte silver line here is that if the Knight rider team understand that Ford Mustang just wont go, they'll just transform it in to a Ferrari, McLaren, Bugatti or Even a Toyota Hybrid :lol:










Have to say that the leading actress is smoking hot. Perhaps too hot to have a Phd in Physics ;) As to the car, I like David Hasselhoff a bit than the new guy. But he is OK.

Droping off from a air plane instead of the old container carrier is awesome. And i love the new KITT's voice. It's cool. But the display for KITT's mouth has changed after the TV movie.:( The new sphere doesn't go with the car very well... And the Transforming is too much fantasy engineering i say. But hay, Knight Rider is all about that .. eh? :)

Another thing that suck is the helicopter that chases KITT in the start of the season. The Computer Generated images are so lame. It looks like a toy helicopter. They should have put a lil bit polygons (resolution) to it ^_^

The bottom line for most of the fans would be they all watch it cos they loved the old seasons. They like the new one but hard to say they love it :p Hope the creators will read some fan sites and learn from the mistakes. Good Luck KITT 3000
