Bill Gates is hanging out with the chairman of General Motors.

"If automotive technology had kept pace with computer technology
over the past few decades," boasts Gates, "You would now be
driving a V-32 instead of a V-8, and it would have a speed of
10,000 miles per hour. Or, you could have an economy car that
weighs 30 pounds and gets a thousand miles with a gallon of gas.
In either case, the sticker price of a new car would be less than
$50."

In response to all this goading, the GM chairman replies, "Yes,
but would you really want to drive a car that crashes four times
a day?"

Truth In Politics

It was election time and a politician decided to go out to the
local reservation and try to get the Native American vote. They
were all assembled in the Council Hall to hear the speech. The
politician had worked up to his finale, and the crowd was getting
more and more excited. "I promise better education opportunities
for Native Americans!"

The crowd went wild, shouting "Hoya! Hoya!" The politician was a
bit puzzled by the native word, but was encouraged by their
enthusiasm. "I promise gambling reforms to allow a Casino on the
Reservation!"

"Hoya! Hoya!" cried the crowd, stomping their feet.

"I promise more social reforms and job opportunities for Native
Americans!" The crowd reached a frenzied pitch shouting "Hoya!
Hoya! Hoya!"

After the speech, the Politician was touring the Reservation, and
saw a tremendous herd of cattle. Since he was raised on a ranch,
and knew a bit about cattle, he asked the Chief if he could get
closer to take a look at the cattle.

"Sure," the Chief said, "but be careful not to step in the hoya."
