ARE YOU SICK AND TIRED OF LIVING WITH MIGRAINE HEADACES? We might be able to Help You!


Our new offi ce computer system was down as much as it was working. My co-worker Cathy decided to stay late one evening to catch up on the work that had accumulated. On her way home, a police offi cer stopped her for speeding.


“What a perfect end to an awful day!” she exclaimed. “Our computer is up, then down -- up, then down. I stay late to catch up, and now this!”


The offi cer was unaffected by Cathy’s griping, and he went to his car to prepare a citation. After what seemed an eternity, he returned with her license and registration. As he handed them to her, he smiled and said, “Our computer is down.”
