The story goes like this:
A king had a beautiful daughter, the princess!
But there was a problem:Everything the princess touched would melt. No matter what; metal, wood, plastic- anything she touched would melt. Because of this, men were afraid of her. Nobody would dare marry her. The king despaired.
What could he do to help his daughter. He consulted his wizards
and magicians. One wizard told the king, "If your daughter touches
one thing that does not melt in her hands, she will be cured."
The king was overjoyed. The next day, he held a competition. Any
man that could bring his daughter an object that would not melt would
marry her and inherit the king's wealth. Three young princes
took up the challenge.
The first prince brought a very hard alloy of titanium. But alas,
once the princess touched it, it melted. The prince went away
sadly.
The second prince brought a huge diamond, thinking that diamond
is the hardest substance in the world and surely, it would not melt.
But alas, once the princess touched it, it melted. He too was sent
away disappointed.
The third prince approached. He told the princess, "Put your hand
in my pocket and feel what is in there." The princess did as she was
told, though she turned red. She felt something hard. She held it
in her hand. And it did not melt!!! The king was overjoyed.
Everybody in the kingdom was overjoyed. And the third prince married the princess and they both lived happily ever after.
But The Question Is : What was the object in the prince's pants?

They were Britannia Little Hearts of course! They melt in your
mouth, not in your hand.

When Bill Gates dies...
"Well, Bill," said God, "I'm really confused on this one. I'm not sure whether to send you to Heaven or Hell! After all, you helped society enormously by putting a computer in almost every home in the world, and yet you created that infernal Windows. I'm going to do something I've never done before. I'm going to let you decide where you want to go!"
Mr. Gates replied, "Well, thanks, God. What's the difference between the two?"
God said, "You can take a peek at both places briefly if it will help you decide. Shall we look at Hell first?"
"Sure!" said Bill.
"Let's go!" Bill was amazed! He saw a clean, white sandy beach with clear waters. There were thousands of beautiful women running around, lying in the water, laughing and frolicking about. The sun was shining and the temperature was just perfect!!
Bill said, "This is great! If this is Hell, I can't wait to see Heaven!"
To which God replied, "Let's go!" and off they went. Bill saw puffy white clouds in a beautiful blue sky with angels drifting about playing harps and singing. It was nice, but surely not as enticing as Hell. Mr. Gates thought for only a brief moment and rendered his decision. "God, I do believe I would like to go to Hell."
"As you desire," said God.
Two weeks later, God decided to check up on the late billionaire to see how things were going. He found Bill shackled to a wall, screaming among the hot flames in a dark cave. He was being burned and tortured by demons.
"How ya doing,' Bill?" asked God.
Bill responded with anguish and despair. "This is awful! This is not what I expected at all! What happened to the beach and the beautiful women playing in the water?"
"Oh, THAT!" said God.
"That was the screen saver !"

MICROSOFT SUPPORT CENTER :
There was a pilot flying a small single engine charter plane, with a couple of very important executives on board. He was coming into Seattle airport through thick fog with less than 10m visibility when his instruments went out. So he began circling around looking for landmark.
After an hour or so, he starts running pretty low on fuel and the passengers are getting very nervous. Finally, a small opening in the fog appears and he sees a tall building with one guy working alone on the fifth floor.
The pilot banks the plane around, rolls down the window and shouts to the guy "Hey, where am I? To this, the solitary office worker replies "You're in a plane." The pilot rolls up the window, executes a 275 degree turn and proceeds to execute a perfect blind landing on the runway of the airport 5 miles away. Just as the plane stops, so does the engine as the fuel has run out.
The passengers are amazed and one asks how he did it. "Simple" replies the pilot, "I asked the guy in that building a simple question. The answer he gave me was 100 percent correct but absolutely useless, therefore that must be Microsoft's support office and from there the airport is just a while away."

Windows Woes:
Jill called the Canon help desk with a problem with her printer.
Tech Support(Over the Phone): "Are you running it under Windows." Jill: "No, my desk is next to the door. But that`s a good point. The man sitting in the cubicle next to me is under a window, and his is working fine."
Tech Support: "OK, let`s press the control and escape keys at the same time. That brings up a task list in the middle of the screen. Now type the letter `P` to bring up the Program Manager.",
Jill: "I don`t have a `P`."
Tech Support: "On your keyboard.",
Jill: "What do you mean?"
Tech Support: "`P` on your keyboard."
Jill: "I`m not going to do that!"
