Barry,

 BM> I hope you have unplugged them: though 'off' they are on a bit, mainly
 BM> monitoring if the remote control gets pressed.  Also take the batteries
 BM> out of the remote so won't leak and damage.

  I can't get to where the plugs are...and the remotes are well out of
reach. I'm the only one here, so there's no danger of my turning them
on. 

  Hmmm...I may need to rephrase that. <G>

  But, I guess this tagline is appropriate:

"When I get naked in the bathroom, the shower gets turned on". 

  That also reminds me of an incident several years ago. I was talking
to a fellow BBS Sysop and ham radio operator on the phone one evening.
He was about 2 miles from me...he has since moved to Tennessee with his 
family, and no longer does either BBSing or ham radio. 

  Anyway, we could stay things on the phone (werty derds <G>) that we 
couldn't say on ham radio. I was watching the late evening newscast, but 
all I wanted was a weather update (unless there's a new story, the late 
news is a re-hash of the early evening news). 

  So, I had the volume on the TV set turned down. When I saw it was time
for the weather segment, with the male meteorologist (there are a few 
female meteorologists out there), I said "It's time for the weather...let 
me turn him on".

  With that, my friend was laughing hysterically, and I said "Let me
rephrase that!!"...to which, he replied "Too late, you pervert!!" <G>.

 BM> So since want to stick around one good reason to take away the
 BM> flammable stuff. <gg>

  Speaking of "a hot time in the old town tonight", one couple was
getting frisky, but the woman had both Vicks Vapo-Rub and Ky-Jelly
on the dresser next to the bed. In the dark, she grabbed the wrong
one, and you can guess the result. :P

 BM> Or "The Rule of Self-Preservation".  I kind of go by 'the rule of the
 BM> lesser evil': nothing we do is all good: there is always so bad aspect,
 BM> so try to do the best and minimize the worst.

  They also call it "Survival Of The Fittest". They want to get rid of 
all the elderly and disabled folks, not accepting or realizing that they 
too, will be in that boat one day...perhaps sooner than they think, as 
one's health can change in the blink of an eye...as in "they dropped 
dead".

  That reminds me of the blooper that noted "We're sad to report the
untimely death of John Doe. It was truly a turning point in his life".

  And, here are a couple more that fall into the "What Was Your First
Clue??" category:

1) The fire chief said that something hot came in contact with something
flammable, and that started the fire in the church kitchen.

2) The pastor said that all eating disorders are related to food.

 DS>   Maybe you need some hemorrhoidal oinkment now. <G>

 BM> Hmm: maybe I can use the box for cleaning!

  "We're going to make them squeal!!" <G>

 DS> "640K of RAM should be enough for anybody." -- Bill Gates (1980) 

 BM> It was the right thinking at the time!  ...Wonder if that statement and
 BM> time attribute is correct? My DEC Rainbow 100 (purchased ~1980 as a
 BM> birthday present to myself) had the option to go up to 896 KB -- stick
 BM> those little black Chicklets in the expansion board.

  I remember those RAM sticks.

 BM> Lost sock in dryer returns as Tupperware lid not fit your containers. 

  They failed to practice "the buddy system". :P
