crappy. yet entertaining.

An older lady gets pulled over for speeding...

Older Woman: Is there a problem, Officer?
Officer: Ma'am, you were speeding.
Older Woman: Oh, I see.
Officer: Can I see your license please?
Older Woman: I'd give it to you but I don't have one.
Officer: Don't have one?
Older Woman: Lost it, 4 years ago for drunk driving.
Officer: I see...Can I see your vehicle registration papers please.
Older Woman: I can't do that.
Officer: Why not?
Older Woman: I stole this car.
Officer: Stole it?
Older Woman: Yes, and I killed and hacked up the owner.
Officer: You what?
Older Woman: His body parts are in plastic bags in the trunk if you want to see.
The Officer looks at the woman and slowly backs away to his car and calls for back up. Within minutes 5 police cars circle the car. A senior officer slowly approaches the car, clasping his half drawn gun.
Officer 2: Ma'am, could you step out of your vehicle please! The woman steps out of her vehicle.
Older woman: Is there a problem sir?
Officer 2: One of my officers told me that you have stolen this car and murdered the owner.
Older Woman: Murdered the owner?
Officer 2: Yes, could you please open the trunk of your car, please.
The woman opens the trunk, revealing nothing but an empty trunk.
Officer 2: Is this your car, ma'am?
Older Woman: Yes, here are the registration papers. The officer is quite stunned.
Officer 2: One of my officers claims that you do not have a driving license.
The woman digs into her handbag and pulls out a clutch purse and hands it to the officer.
The officer examines the license. He looks quite puzzled.
Officer 2: Thank you ma'am, one of my officers told me you didn't have a license, that you stole this car, and that you murdered and hacked up the owner.
Older Woman: Bet the liar told you I was speeding, too!

im going to go stability test my rig at 2200mhz. a mild overclock (at least in my opinion it is) im only 34mhz above stock fsb and i turned down the multiplier to 11 (hence 2200, 11x200). it was either run the fsb at memory speed (400mhz) or run the memory at fsb speed (333mhz). i think ill choose this way for now. i played a game at this setting, buti was having connection problems, i thought it was the overclocking, but when i turned it back to stock it was still there. i mean, which is more likely? an overclocking board gone bad on a mild overclock or my school's network being crappy? my money is on the school network being crappy.

'midterms' are up. not really midterms cause there are 2 to 3 major exams in a quarter. i just spent 2 or so hours on a homework that isnt due till the 20th because i thought it was due tomorrow. all the while ignoring the linear networkign exam i have tomorrow. im such a good planner, eh?

that is it for now. happy new year.
