This just in from our "Out of Control buddy, Joe Kaulfersch, via Facebook. Karl Benz drives the first automobile, July 3, 1886. So blame Karl for the crummy traffic tomorrow.

Here's a bit of help from our IT department. No, actually it comes from our resident wag, Joe Kaulfersch at Pepperl + Fuchs.

Ten Ways You Know Your Internet Connection Is a Little Slow

Another oldie but goodie from Joe Kaulfersch at Pepperl+Fuchs:

Friday funny from the irrepressible Joe Kaulfersch at Pepperl+Fuchs:

As you know I'm a dog lover and dog rescuer like you.  As we were walking some of our dogs at the rescue kennel several of us thought of these quickies on how dogs are like computers or are they different? There is nothing like walking a dog in the Fall through the leaves on a beautiful sunny day with friends cracking jokes.  I thought I'd pass these on.

"When you get older
everything reminds you of a story."-Franklyn Kirk.  Well I remembered a
story:   The Plan

From Pepperl+Fuchs' Joe Kaulfersch: 

 UNIVERSAL LAWS

1. Law of Mechanical Repair - After your hands become coated with grease, your nose will begin to itch and you'll have to pee.

2. Law of Gravity - Any tool, nut, bolt, screw, when dropped, will roll to the least accessible corner.

3. Law of Probability -The probability of being watched is directly proportional to the stupidity of your act

4. Law of Random Numbers - If you dial a wrong number, you never get a busy signal and someone always answers.

From Pepperl+Fuchs' inimitable Joe Kaulfersch:

Walt,

From our latest internal news letter "Gateway" we write to our customers and Reps.

There was once a young engineer who, in his youth, professed his desire to become a great writer.

From our indefatigable humor monger, Joe Kaulfersch at Pepperl+Fuchs:

Hi Walt,

Last week I finally purchased a new computer for my office at home. I couldn't get on the internet for some reason. I had to go through the help desk at Hewlett Packard and the help desk at my cable provider. I swear I was talking to the same guy in Bangladesh both times. It was almost as silly as this story I was forwarded the other day. I finally got everything connected.

Joe
