Joke of the week: A blonde girl enters a store that sells curtains. She tells the salesman, "I would like to buy a pink curtain in the size of my computer screen." The surprised salesman replies, "But, madam, computers do not have curtains." And the blonde said, "Helloooo.... I've got Windows!" Have a nice weekend, Kaitlin
