If I mention electrician he thinks I am talking about him. Its a sign of mental health problems but he hasn't gone to see his GP yet even though he really should. |

Reminded of this by another group.. Might be almost relavant, irf i could
type it right. THE SANDSTROM-HARTWELL MISERABLE ******* SCALE (MBS) The Miserable ******* Scale, or MBS, was originally formulated on sci.military.naval for Usenet use. In view of its naval origins, it is based on the marine version of the Beaufort Scale of wind speeds. The MBS helpfully allows the numeric classification of Miserable *******s on newsgroups (or anywhere else really). 0: Calm - Individual is dead, medicated, asleep or otherwise unconscious. 1: Sulk - Individual does not reply to individual issues when views are challenged. Instead changes subject. 2: Bristling - The hackles are up, individual takes offence easily but may still be open to listening to others at this point. 3: Grouchy - ability to interact intelligently is impaired, but this considered to be normal state of operation. 4: Sputtering - Monosyllabic, impaired receptiveness to views of others. 5: Fresh Breeze - rises to challenges and often breaks into displays of grouchiness. Expect sudden gusts. 6: Strong Breeze - Long diatribes begin to form. Angry outbursts are widespread. Conversation obscured by undirected ranting. 7: Near Gale - Rants heap up and strong language from breaking grumbles begins to be blown in incoherent streaks across the conversation. Visibility of original subject matter impaired. 8: Gale - Moderately high rant level, diatribes of greater length; Rants are blown in well-defined streaks in several well-defined directions. Visibility of original subject matter severely impaired. Personal attacks imminent. 9: Severe Gale - High rant level. Dense diatribes in multiple well-defined directions. Rants tend to break up under their own force. Speed of furious typing may result in incoherent output. Personal insults beginning to form spray. Visibility affected - Miserable ******* probably seeing red - original subject matter barely visible. 10: Storm - very high rant level in random directions. Entire conversation affected. Refusal to acknowledge views of others. Heavy spray of personal insults and ad-hominem attacks. 11: Violent Storm - exceptionally high rant levels, insults and personal attacks on all parties, including non-participants. All comments by others sucked in and twisted out of shape. 12: Hurricane - full-blown apoplectic anger in all directions, original subject matter and train of thought long ago lost, no trace of logic or consistency in argument. Others take avoiding action until Hurricane has blown itself out through being ignored. 13: Coronary Imminent -- -- From the sofa of Brian Gaff - Blind user, so no pictures please!

No correct information, but the gaffes are superb! -- Ineptocracy (in-ep-toc-ra-cy) €“ a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers. |

But don't forget the last person I told was going to kill himself if he kept stressing himself died from a stress related attack.. I don't want to be correct this time, its a waste. |
