A pun that does not elicit a groan is a pun wasted. On the other hand, the more obscure the better - although people may not know you're goofing. I do have what has been termed a "dry" sense of humor. And yeah - K is Potassium. I crack myself up - still laughing at that one

I am proud to say that I'm an accomplished punster from way back. And the more complex the better, involving not just words but phrases. And I like puns that I make up on the spur of the moment, and that fit the situation. If people don't immediatly even realize I'm making a pun, that's even...

I cant find a copy of Ben Bova's story but here is a pdf of The Star. Quite short - I just printed it so I can read the hard copy at my desk and pretend to be working. http://www.uni.edu/morgans/astro/course/TheStar.pdf As an aside, I got in this morning and everything was proceeding exactly...

Final edit (sure :)). Kept the Heaven, lost the laugh. Thanks Froth! I like it best this way.

Thanks ab!

Got that from a Twilight Zone. So I kept the twist but preferred not to plagiarize from the GREAT Rod Serling. Great last lines are not easy to think up. May change it yet again if I come up with something better. After all I have eternity to think about it.:)

Right. Edited.

I woke up at the usual time, the day after I died. Force of habit I guess, but I did have to get into work. I arrived there at around 7:00, just like always, and sat down at my desk. Same old junk on my desk, same old crap on my computer screen. Not knowing what else to do, I just did my usual...

You mean, just read a little oddly.

I know there must be other threads about this - please allow me to start this discussion anew, so that I may restrict it to my concerns without poring over other possibly similar threads. I have a fully developed Access db with 2-3 users. This db will be moved to another environment where...

2 of my favorites from yesteryear that have not been mentioned: The Honeymooners created by, produced by, and starring, the inimitable Jackie Gleason. One of TV's original sitcoms - it portrayed 2 working class couples, in their daily lives. It illustrated the comical side of such human...

My God what's the world coming to? Less smoking, less drinking and driving, less hanging out in Pubs, equality for women... We had better watch out here - the warning signs of a massive collapse of our way of life are all around!

Is THAT all that's bothering you? Don't worry - you can agree now, and the NEXT update with have the qwerty clause. (mwah ha ha!!!)

Easiest way to get rid of the unwanted relationship is to delete the table (I would expect Access to give you a warning that you're going to delete a relationship - which is what you want to do). Then recreate the table from scratch. I wouldn't dissuade you from experimenting and figuring out...

Without exploring all the possibilities, I'll just mention that any graphics - such as a logo or any image at all, on any form or anywhere in your db can quickly double, triple, quadruple, etc, the size of your db. You can get info about the db under the menu DATABASE TOOLS / Database...

Access has plenty of punch right out of the box, but to fully tap into its power you'll need to learn some SQL commands and how to code in VBA. There is plenty of instruction out there - a lot of it free. If you gain a basic understanding of programming logic and data structures, you will open...

If I can add, it is more efficient to use a simple check box for a YES/NO Boolean data type (either checked or not checked) than an option group with two buttons, one for YES and one for NO. I certainly find it useful to see a box either checked or unchecked for fully paid vs not, or item...

For a few weeks I've missed scads of texts and phone calls on my iPhone. Phone just did not ring. I thought it was my hearing that was going - or that AT&T had a service outage, or well, who knows why but my phone just WOULD NOT RING! Finally googled. You know, if you have a picture of a...

This is close to the defense that Steve Martin proposed, if you ever happen to get caught in a bank robbery. Simply say, "I'm sorry. I forgot it was illegal to rob banks." So this dentist claims he thought it was all on the up-and-up, never occurring to him that there could be anything wrong...
