Prostitutes in Lyons, France, sent a fax to the government to complain that they are losing business to Eastern European women who are protected by the Albanian mafia. Okay, first of all, how rough-looking are these French prostitutes that all their customers are running to the Albanians? Secondly, why did they send a fax, and from whence? Do they have a fax machine in the whorehouse, or did they all trundle down to Kinko`s - "You fax these, I`ll let you shave me." Thirdly, how come French whores know how to work a fax machine, but every time I try to use it, I hit Powersave, or I forget to dial 9? This just proves what my boyfriend always says - that I am dumber than a French whore.

- Juan Williams(on why he feels he never landed a role as a TV series regular until "Scrubs" (2001)) With my dorky head, I guess I just wasn`t handsome enough. I`d do the audition but never hear back. TV tends to look for the living equivalents of squeaky-clean Kens and Barbies, but with my dial I`m more like Ken`s dirty old uncle.

- Robert GrahamWe live in deeds, not years; in thoughts, not figures on a dial. We should count time by heart throbs. He most lives who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best.
- Amy HeimbergerWhat is special about VOIP is that it`s just another thing you can do on the Internet, whereas it is the only thing - or nearly the only thing with the exception of the dial-up modem and fax - that you can do on the public switched telephone network.
- Andrew J. SpanoThe migration to broadband is happening more slowly for dial-up users in 2005 than 2002. With fewer new internet users coming online these days, the stock of potential broadband subscribers is not being replenished.

- Art SilberThe issue is that the remaining pool of dial-up users today is a different demographic category. A couple years back, you had people making the bit-per-buck calculation ... (which) prompted them to switch. The existing pool of dial-up users is not accessing as many bits.
