Choosing a wife

A man wanted to get married. He was having trouble choosing among three likely candidates. He gives each woman a present of £5,000 and watches to see what they do with the money.

The first does a total makeover. She goes to a fancy beauty salon, gets her hair done, new makeup; buys several new outfits and dresses up very nicely for the man. She tells him that she has done this to be more attractive for him because she loves him so much.

The man was impressed.

The second goes shopping to buy the man gifts. She gets him a new set of golf clubs, some new gizmos for his computer, and some expensive clothes. As she presents these gifts, she tells him that she has spent all the money on him because she loves him so much.

Again, the man is impressed.

The third invests the money in the stock market. She earns several times the £5,000. She gives him back his £5,000 and reinvests the remainder in a joint account. She tells him that she wants to save for their future because she loves him so much.

Obviously, the man was impressed.

The man thought for a long time about what each woman had done with the money he’d given her.

Then he married the one with the biggest boobs.

Men are like that, you know.

There is more money being spent on breast implants and Viagra today than on Alzheimer’s research… This means that by 2040, there should be a large elderly population with perky boobs and huge erections and absolutely no recollection of what to do with them.

Heads Up You World Travelers…

The information herein, sure makes a lot of sense to me. A lot of motels are desked by cheap labor, some are college kids, working their way through college and others…??  Who Knows why they work there !?

Next thing we know…someone will get this information and steal a bunch of cards from a motel…better than the information in your trash barrel, back home…

Always  take a small magnet on your holiday,  they come in handy at the end of  it. Thought you all needed to know…

This is pretty good info.  Never even thought about key cards containing anything other than an access code for the room!

HOTEL  KEY CARDS

Ever  wonder what is on your magnetic key card?

Answer:
a.  Customer’s name
B.  Customer’s partial home address
c.  Hotel room number
d.  Check-in date and out dates
e. Customer’s credit card number and expiration date!

When you turn them in to the front desk your personal information is there for  any employee to access by simply scanning the card in the hotel scanner.

An employee can take a hand full of cards home and using a scanning device,  access the information onto a laptop computer and go shopping at your expense.

Simply put, hotels do not erase the information on these cards until an employee  reissues the card to the next hotel guest.

At that time, the new guest’s information is electronically ‘overwritten’ on the card and the previous guest’s information is erased in the overwriting process.

But until the card is rewritten for the next guest, it usually is kept in a drawer at the front desk with YOUR INFORMATION ON IT!

The  bottom line is:

Keep the cards, take them home with you, or destroy them.

NEVER leave them behind in the room or room wastebasket, and NEVER turn them  into the front desk when you check out of a room.

They will not charge you for the card (it’s illegal) and you’ll be sure you’re not leaving a lot of valuable personal information on it that could be easily lifted off with any simple scanning device card reader.

For the same reason, if you arrive at the airport and discover you still have the card key in your pocket, do not toss it in an airport trash basket.

Take it home and destroy it by cutting it up,

especially through the electronic information strip!

If you have a small magnet, pass it across the magnetic strip several times.

Then try it in the door, it will not work.

It erases everything on the card.
