Had a woman last week who called us up accusing her husband of putting secret micro cameras in her panties, bra and cigarettes, and was scared that they were causing her breast lump. She actually was sobbing on the phone with me.

Had another woman the other day who wrecked her printer by plugging a usb cable into the ethernet port. When I mocked her, not very subtly, she said that the hole looked like the right one and that she grinded the plug into it because she thought she was doing something wrong.

Yep. I did point that out to her, with more than a little sarcasm.

yeah, that reminded me of the story of the lady who bought a computer with 3.5" drive. she called and said my disks won't fit (had the 5 1/4)..so she cut them to fit! and then wanted to know why they wouldn't work. gotta love it.

Just got another.

Been fixing this computer for a crack head moron and he has called and dropped into the store three times the last couple of days. He was Jonesing for his computer.

So, I call him up just now and get his Dad.

Me: "Hello, is Mark there?"
Dad: "Yeah, he's upstairs"

Maybe ten seconds of silence ensues, with me starting to weep at just how stupid humanity has become.

Finally, the Dad speaks again.

Dad: "Do you want to speak to him?"
Me: To myself I say not really, to the Dad "Yes please"

While I'm waiting, my partner here says "I won't be able to pay for it until I get my check".

Mark comes on the phone.

Me: "This is David, the computer guy. Your computer (you know, the one you keep getting up my ass about) is ready to be picked up.

Mark: "Uhh, I have to wait for my check before I can pay for it"

The other stories are hilarious, but the one about the woman afraid of micro cameras makes me sad. Sounds like schizophrenia.

But the other one smashing the USB into the Ethernet is really funny. I can just picture her at 3 years old, jamming the circle wood block into the square shaped hole.

No. Drysdale is way too conservative and really takes his time with imports.

If they wanted to give that horse to someone in Southern Cal, somone like Jeff Mullins who can magically improve horses almost overnight and isn't affraid to handle a young 3-year-old aggressively would have been the best choice if the KY Derby was the ultimate goal.

Mullins has won several Santa Anita Derby's with horses who were complete rats before he got them. He also dominated a Wood Memorial with a horse he developed who sold fairly cheaply at the the far weaker and less prestigeous of the two Barretts 2yo sales. Mullins never got much of any young stock, but he was so deadly with whatever little of it he would get. Choctaw Nation, he took him out of a Maiden Claiming race and beat an in-form Pleasently Perfect.

I agree with all you say. I am in Vegas now and they have Fly Lexis Fly at 25-1 in the future book. Pretty amazing.

TVG just did a profile piece on him ... it seems like the plan is to prep him once.

It's March -- and the horse still doesn't have a single published workout this year.

I hope he runs. I never make future bets as I think they are all sucker bets. But after watching some of his races, I played him at 200-1 back in January. The fact that he is 25-1 now I find amusing but it will be fun if he makes the gate.
