From my "misheard lyrics" calendar:
Monday: Cheese and flies superstar
Today: Limestone cowbow

From my Dilbert calendar:
Sunday: Dilbert at his computer, PHB looks over Dilbert's shoulder
PHB: Why don't you try using a wireless fiber multifage?
Dilbert: Well, first of all, no such thing exists. If it did exist, it would surely be the wrong solution for a software bug. And there's no extra money in our budges for hardware. (PHB yawns) It would take six months to write a business case and get funding. (PHB looks at watch) Then our I.T. people would refuse to install it because it's not an approved vendor.
PHB: Do you have a better idea?
Dilbert (typing): Yes. I just fixed it.
PHB: Do you think you can hold the fort while I go coach someone else?
Dilbert: O.O


From Wine lovers calendar:
Last Friday, quoting Kermit Lynch:
Men seem to believe that they are wine experts just because they are men. When they stick their nose into a glass of wine they think it would be unmanly to say something wrong or stupid. So they get uptight. It is difficult to taste properly when you are uptight. Fear constricts the flow of blood to the taste buds.
As I have witnessed so many times, a woman tends to stick her nose into a glass and say the first thing that pops into her head, fearlessly, and it is amazing how often such spontaneous resonses are approprieate and interesting. Women approach wine with their noses wide open, and the directness of an unself-conscious reaction can be refreshing.
