I’m broadband-less again… it happens rarely, but when it does I’m just a little lost without the 4th dimension (the Internet).

Our village bobby was driving along the road when he saw an old boy in his car crawling along at 17 miles per hour. He stopped him and asked why he was driving so slowly. The old boy replies – “well it’s 17 mph limit. You can tell by all those signs saying 17″ Our [...]
