A: 15 Stinking Sink Solutions: A friend of mine Tom also has the same problem:
The 15 solutions we came up with to resolve his stinking sink problem were as follows:
1. STOP USING THE SINK AS A URINAL.
2. HAVE THE PLUMBER DISCONNECT THE TOILET BOWL FROM THE SINK SEWER LINE, LET THE WASTE RUN ON THE FLOOR, THIS WAY THE REST OF THE HOUSE WILL SMELL LIKE THE STINKY SINK AND YOU WONT NOTICE IT AS MUCH!
3. TAKE THE DRAIN STOP OUT AND PLACE A FRAGRANCE CANDLE IN THE DRAIN!
4. TRY BRUSHING YOUR TEETH MORE THEN ONCE A WEEK.
5. STOP CLEANING YOUR GOLF BALLS AND SOAKING YOUR SOCKS IN THE SINK.
6. STOP POURING YOUR HOMEMADE SOUP INTO THE SINK.
7. TRY SHAVING USING THE KITCHEN SINK TO SEE IF YOU GET THE SAME SMELL!
8. TRY NOT LET THE WASTE WATER FROM BEHIND YOUR EARS GO DOWN THE SINK, USE PAPER TOWELS.
9. THOSE MICE YOU CAPTURE IN YOUR BEDROOM, (From Bob and Bobs Condo) SHOULD GO OUT WITH THE REGULAR GARBAGE NOT THE WASHED DOWN THE SINK!
10. TRY BUYING THE 90% LEAN BEEF FOR NOW ON!
11. STOP USING THE CHEAPEST COLOGNE, OR ON SALE COLOGNES.
12. THE JUICE OOZING FROM THE OUTSIDE GARBAGE CANS, SHOULD NOT BE COLLECTED AND USED FOR CLEANING THE BATHROOM SINK, TRY SPENDING SOME MONEY ON BLEACH!

1/2 Litter of Triple Sec.
Blend with Crushed Ice
Pour 1/2 of the mixture down the bathroom sink. Let Sit for 1/2 hour before using the water.

Q: Apple Computers: Why are they better for graphics and desktop publishing? At least many of the people I know use Apples. Saphira -- Reply (Ref:0894)
A: A silly question, Saphira, it is all down to the evil geniuses at Redmond in a fiendish collaboration with Intel and AMD and others.
This is how it works, on every IBM PC processor chip there is a section that stores the creative energy of every computer user. Somehow every time you sit in front of a PC the draining process begins. According to Dr Abdul Hussaini-Kropotkin of Imperial College London, the keyboard and mouse are made from a special plastic that conducts the energy out through the fingertips, up the cables and into the motherboard and from there to the microprocessor, where it builds up to a pre-determined level whereupon it is sent to Microsoft headquarters. If the computer has no modem then the creative energy is dissipated as heat which can cause problems. It is a proven fact that Intel based machines running Microsoft programs do heat up when artistic and creative people use them. It is very probable that if Leonardo da Vinci were alive today that PCs would explode within seconds of his laying hands upon them.
The perfect solution to this problem is to get yourself an Apple computer, with a nice big display. There are other short-term emergency measures that allow you to continue to use a conventional PC, however it may be that simply ceasing to use a PC is not enough and your creative energies are so depleted that only an Apple can restore your creativity. It seems that the engineers at Apple have figured out the Microsoft/Intel draining system and they have to actually developed a system that does the reverse. Although not as powerful as the Microsoft system it actually permits the keys on the keyboard to exude an energy or force that restores and increases the energies that are vital to the creative processes.I mentioned that there are short term measures that one can take to stop the dreadful mind numbing effect of using non-Apple computers and prevent Bill Gates and Steve Balmer from performing their Dracula-like predation. One can use voice recognition software or an infra-red or radio based keyboard and mouse, the latter solution works as it appears that wires are needed to carry the energy up in to the computer itself.
