I started out as an electronics engineer and worked 40 hours for lots.
Then I moved to computers and made more for less time
Then programming, even more for less time again.
The as EKS I was paid the earth for next to no time.

Finally my brother and set up our own company.
Now I work all the hours under the sun and lots
that aren't and pay myself peanuts.

I just haven't figured why I'm so pleased with it.

Er, I'm not really an electronics engineer[1].
'Twas a 'units' type joke.

[2a] I can't believe TP's spell checker didn't throw

Murray doesn't pay.

Murray *is* paid.

By people who want gaskets. And B120s. or rather, who don't want B120s.

I suppose it might help my quest for a GAGARPHOF # if I admit to feeling
hard done by 'cos computer companies don't pay 1024 quid for every "K"
of salary they advertise....

I hope he had a rubber glove on.

It takes a hell of a shock to get any
life into me. You could be right.

I didn't. It wasn't _my_ hand.

Hmm. That's easy to sort out.

[Flicks through Igorkea catalogue]

For home use I would recommed the "Shaker-style" easy chair, which comes
complete with it's own transformer and moulded plug.

For out and about, we're developing a rather nice pacemaker which is
powered by a pair of Van der Graaf generators. Naturally, this will be
supplied with a Wonderbra in your choice of colour.

I always wondered what had happened to the Action Man I used to practice
