Shot in the Dark

All Shook Up

Modern airplanes are equipped with a “stick-shaker” that vibrates the
control stick with increasing harshness as the airplane approaches a
stalled configuration.  The hope is the pilot will feel the shaking and
correct the airplane’s attitude before the stall occurs.

My work computer has a time-out safety feature.  If I don’t touch the
mouse every so often, it logs me out.  Which would make sense if I only
worked on-line, but I have lots of other stuff to do off-line as well. 
I’m forever logging back in.  I’m stalled.

I need a stick-shaker for my mouse.

It’d also be a great feature on credit cards.

    I don’t know how many times my face slammed into the keyboard after I drifted off at work. It was embarrassing, but not as embarrassing as walking around with the letters QWERTY stamped into my forehead.

    Then there was the four hour meetings….

    Greg;

    Ha! I know what you mean about nodding off in meetings, especially the ones held right after lunch.
