There are many funny jokes floating around about women and their driving abilities. It's a guy thing I guess. But is there any truth to assertions women are inferior to men when it comes to operating a vehicle?
I never gave the subject much thought until I married a woman who didn't know how to drive. She was an Okinawan named Mitsuko Toma and 13 years my senior...but that didn't bother me. I nicknamed her "Tommie" since most Americans couldn't pronounce her name correctly. I met her on Okinawa while serving in the Marine Corps back in the late 1970's. I liked the country and people so I decided to bring home a souvenir.
She spoke enough English to get by but couldn't read it very well. So, when she decided to learn how to drive, the manual wasn't much help and the task of teaching her fell on me. But, I couldn't understand why she hadn't learned to drive in her own country years ago. I was about to find out.
First, Tommie was a very short lady, as most Okinawans are, but short even by their standards. I'm 5'4" and she came up to my chin, making her about 4'9". (Hey! I wasn't about to marry someone I had to look up to.) I figured the height thing may present a problem with her feet reaching the pedals...even if my car was a small 1974 Ford, Pinto automatic. Fortunately, wearing platform shoes provided just enough length. Therefore, there was no reason why I shouldn't try and teach her. After all, she was a grown up, mature woman.

Social media was considered a waste of time in some schools of thought in the past but now its part of an image that one carries. You have to be on Facebook or you'll feel left out when your friends are discussing and you are looking at them like you're deaf and dumb. Social media has become a key activity in daily routine of a large number of people from almost every field of life. Nowadays if you ask someone for his Facebook account and the person doesn't have one, you will think of that guy as a person from Stone Age, no seriously.
Life of an FBer (Facebooker)
A normal day of an FBer starts with updating his status on Facebook and it end with updating the status. His breakfast starts with a status update and it ends with another status update. You will also be aware of his each and every move which he makes. What he eats, what he watches on you tube. He will keep you informed about his exact location while travelling from one place to another. He will proudly present each and everything which he sees, feels, smells, tastes, hears and will even update about what his sixth sense is sensing. If his nose happened to be running that day, FBer will keep you updated about his running nose throughout the day. In short he will make a mess of your home page as if it was his home page not yours.

What makes a computer t shirt funny? I think it's the ability to take a direct programmatic approach to humor. OK, actually, I actually think the unexpected is what is really the most funny. Wearing a funny t shirt is like wearing a joke, and people love a good joke. So, if you love computers or you work with them, you will get a kick out of my top 7 funny computer t shirts.
