So, You've Never Heard of Table Tennis?

For some, table tennis is merely a substitute for the grass-and-sun theme of the "regular" tennis court, and for others, table tennis is a competitive sport in its own right. No matter which category you fall into, table tennis definitely has something to offer you.

Table tennis is played on a hard table divided by a very soft net. It is highly fast paced, and requires not only quick reflexes, but also a bit of strategy as well. In order to understand where the strategy comes into play, a brief discussion of basic game play is required.

Table tennis consists of a small, lightweight ball and two paddles. To choose who serves first, there is either a coin toss, or the referee hides the ball in one hand and the player who guesses which hand the ball is in gets to serve. After the ball is launched, it must go over to the opponent's side of the table once, where the opponent can then return the ball back to the other side. If, for some reason, the opponent does not return the ball back to the other side, a point is awarded.

The strategy comes into play when it comes to the serve and the return. The serve is often quick, since the only rule is that it must make it over to the opposite side of the table and bounce. The server can therefore add a bit of "spin" to the ball, decreasing the ability of their opponent to predict exactly where the ball will land. Many games have been won by using this method - the server will hit the ball at an angle that will add spin to the ball, and the opponent will miss the chance to return because they were in the wrong spot. It all boils down to being at the right place, at the right time. In the matches between skillful players, it gets harder and harder, coming down to timing, skill, and calmness under pressure.

For the non-competitive, table tennis is also a great sport to play year round, rain or shine. The rules are simple enough that even the beginner can buy an inexpensive paddle set and go play with a few friends. Table tennis is quick to learn, and has caught the attention of millions around the world. Isn't it time you picked up an inexpensive table tennis set and caught the fever?

Well that took a long time did it not? What you say? You did not read all the jokes about printer, cartridges, ink and cartridge in several micro-nano seconds? Good, because I couldnt find any.

When the office printer color started to look a little off the manager called the local repair shop. To the managers surprise the clerk said that it would cost $50 but that he might try reading the manual and doing it himself. The manager replied in astonishment does your boss know that you discourage business that way? Yes, replied the clerk. It was his idea. We make more on repairs than cleanings if the owner tries to do it himself first.

A woman called tech support and said her computer couldnt find the printer. The tech asked, are you working under windows? The woman replied no Im near the door but the guy in the next cubical is working under a window and his printer works fine.

The printer is comprised of three main parts; the case, the jammed paper tray and the blinking red light.

When the printer still will not work after 20 tries; try sending the print job to all 100 printers in the office. One of them is bound to work.
