My wife said she'd leave me if I built one more computer for SETI@Home... I'm going to miss her!

Roses are red,
violets are blue,
I'm schizophrenic,
and so am I!

In my youth it was

My girlfriend's just walked out on me, she says we've grown apart. I will miss her, though not with the second shot!

I saw a man lying in the road yesterday.
I went over to him and asked him was he OK.
He said to me, "I've been run over by a bus
can you call me an ambulance".
Yes I replied, "Sir, your an ambulance"
