Tsk. They should be warned in advance. Why, if someone Scottish is going to call, they should all panic and close early for the day. :D ;) [/quote]

Nah, no need to announce a national holiday on my account: It is exciting to speak to Scottish people but you have to keep a sense of proportion :D

LOL!
Are you sure? We're all very lazy in the SE after all and relish the chance to have a holiday. :p ;)
Well, I suppose if someone from abroad called up...even by accident, that would call for 2 days holiday.

Hmmmm. I didn't think you'd need holidays down there. Don't you all just go in to work to count the extra money you accumulatd overnight? How hard can it be? :laugh:

I think the plan is to set up sophisticated computer programs to part users and their hard-earned money, check how much is receoved every day, make some paper airplanes (eventually the record flight will be reached), then one of those paper airplanes will hit something important wiping all the assets gained that day...and thus the cycle begins again. *nods sagely* :p

The holidays are for those people who aren't expert paper folders... :(

And this is the future? Sounds very like RPG's to me. Our mutual prosperity in the hands of people who believe that if it goes catastrophically wrong they can just respawn? For some reason I don't find that comforting. :rolls eyes:


Shouldn't people who can't fold paper get more training?

No, it's an infinite loop...well, it would be, but eventually it causes a Stack Overflow (Yay, I learnt something in my lectures! :D ). A stack overflow is when the computer can't handle all the information and it crashes. Poor thing...

I never claimed to be a prophet...did I? :confused:

Training? At company expense?
Hah, don't be silly. The training is for people to learn how to open boxes. :D

Boxes? What boxes? Aren't those medium sized dry goods? I thought physical objects were entirely passee? :confused:

Well, they are dry goods...unless they get caught in a storm, then it's an entirely different kettle of fish. *nods* :D

And unfortunately, boxes are still required, that's how we get all our paper... ;)
Big packs of paper in medium-sized boxes.

How very inefficient. It can't be long before the aeroplanes are also virtual. Then you can just say one has made a record flight. No-one can prove different in the short term. That's how eveything else works. Why not this?

My, who's being cynical today? :laugh: ;)

You're missing the point, it's supposed to be inefficient, otherwise employees would be forced to resort to the Solitaire game. *shakes head sadly*
