Found this on the Interenet - Thought you all might enjoy it Laughing

Last week was my birthday and I didn't feel very well waking up that morning. I went downstairs for breakfast hoping my wife would be pleasant and say, "happy birthday!" possibly have a present for me.

As it turned out, she barely said good morning, let alone "happy birthday."

I thought... Well, that's marriage for you, but the kids will remember. My kids came into breakfast and didn't say a word. So when I left for the office, I was feeling pretty low and somewhat despondent.

As I walked into my office, my secretary Jane said, "Good morning, boss, happy birthday!" it felt a little better,

That at least someone had remembered. I Worked until one o'clock. Then Jane knocked on my door and said, "you know, it's such a beautiful day outside, and it's your birthday, let's go out to lunch, just you and me."

I said, "thanks Jane, that's the greatest thing I've heard all day.

Let's go!" we went to lunch. But we didn't go where we normally would go. We dined instead at a little place with a private table. We had two martinis each and I enjoyed the meal tremendously.

On the way back to the office, Jane said, "you know, it's such a beautiful day... We don't need to go back to the office, do we?"

I responded, "I guess not. What do you have in mind?"

She said, "let's go to my apartment."

After arriving at her apartment Jane turned to me and said, "boss, if you don't mind, I'm going to step into the bedroom for a moment. I'll be right back."

"Ok." I replied nervously.

She went into the bedroom and, after a couple of minutes; she came out carrying a huge birthday cake... Followed by my wife, kids, and dozens of my friends and co-workers, all singing "happy birthday".

And I just sat there.......

On the couch......

LOL ! Happy Birthday Raven- had I known I would have set up a web cam for our entertainment hahaha.

Last Birthday my wife thought she would treat me to one of those 'what do you buy someone who has eveything' type presents.

She visited a specialist, hand crafted fountain pen place, selected the wood for the hinged presentation box, spent ages selecting a nicely grained nugget of wood for the pen itself.
Selected a gold nib and some trimmimg pieces, got the ink, loaded the pen and gave it to me.

Much to her annoyance, she had forgotten I'm a south paw - as my hand moves from left to right I am obliterating everything I write into a long messy ink stain LOL.

I went to school in the time when one got rapped across the knuckles for righting sth paw
We als0 did not have Bic pens, but fountain pens. the above was the reason for the rapped knuckles.
I solved the problem back then, I would place my work to my left then instead of twisting my hand over the top of my work, write from underneath. To this day the only thing I write twisting my hand over the work is my signiture.
I also found writting from underneath I could write faster and clear than most others which put me in good stead later in lectures.
The other problem that aross is for a sth paw the nib would tend to dig into the page. Avalable was a left handed nib, It had a almost right angle bend at the tip.
The good Old days huh?
I can still use a slide rule faster than my children can use a calculator, and add up large numbers in my head. The latter I put down to we had pounds , shillings (base 20), pence (base 12), and fractions of pence...ton,cwt, lbs, oz..mile,chain,yds,feet, inches, 1/1000 inch
And using log books for large calcuations?
