Joe wanted to have sex with a girl in his office, but she said she already had a boyfriend. One day he got so frustrated that he went up to her and said, "I'll give you a $100 if you let me have sex with you." The girl said, "NO." Joe then said: "I'll be fast -- I'll throw the money on the floor, you bend down, and I'll be finished by the time you pick it up."

She thought for a moment and said that she would have to consult her boyfriend. She called her boyfriend and told him the story. The boyfriend said: "Ask him for $200, then pick up the money very fast. He won't even be able to get his pants down." She agreed and accepted the proposal.

A half an hour went by. Finally, after 45 minutes the boyfriend called and asked what happened? She said: "The b*****d used coins!"

Management Lesson: Always consider a business proposal in it's entirety before agreeing to it and getting screwed.

Football Coaching

Hello everyone,

Football is not about playing and watching matches on the telly. It also involves player development i.e coaching. I would like to know whether anybody here has any experience on coaching? Have you coach anyone or any team before? Doesn't matter if it is U-8's, U-15's or at the pro level. Or anyone currently taking up courses, under FAM maybe, to be a coach? It would be nice to hear if there's someone who is a coach; could give a tip or two and share your experience with us.

To Mac or not to Mac

Hi all,

I've been thinking for a long long time of buying a laptop, MacBook preferably. I would like to ask you, the experienced Mac users, on a few things. Bear in mind that I have no much experiences on using a Mac before, apart from browsing the internet and iTunes, but that's all.

1) MacBook that I'm looking for comes with 1GB Ram, could I upgrade it to 2GB Ram if I buy it during the upcoming PC Fair?

2) AppleCare Protection Plan (APP): Complementary support form the Apple is a 1 dyear warranty, but is it worth it to upgrade to APP? Do the MacBooks/Pros die/have problems very often? Let say if I won't upgrade to APP, is the normal repair charge expensive?

3) Currently I'm studying in the UK, and I've been checking the Apple website here about the offers on MacBooks and I was pretty amazed by the price. Let say I'm buying the MacBook of:

* 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
* 1GB memory --> upgrade to 2GB
* 80GB hard drive --> upgrade to 120GB
* Combo drive

and it'll cost me roughly �849 (after the upgrades above), which is equivalent of RM5600. Can I get the same or much more lower deal during the PC Fair or should I just buy it here?

4) Is it worth investing my hard fought money on Apple computers? Or should I go for the normal Windows laptop? What do you think?

5) I try to learn about Mac by reading in forums, but I tend to stick to LYN forum because I'm too lazy to search for the others. Can I assume you all here are capable of helping me if I have problems regarding the MacBook? (providing I buy it in the near future)

Many thanks. I'm looking forward to your replies.
