Just in time for the holidays, America On Line has laid off 750 employees. The layoffs were prompted by the company's ongoing loss of subscribers. In fact, AOL has lost about 2 million customers over the past year.
However, no one was laid off at any of the company's call centers, so most AOL users shouldn't notice a deterioration in service.
On the other hand, how would anyone tell the difference?

Not Just for Gargling
Police in Des Moines, Iowa were called to check on a man who had been drinking mouthwash. Rescue squad workers were also summoned to the scene, but it turned out the man was fine, though somewhat inebriated. According to those who examined him, the man had been drinking mouthwash for some ten years now. And even though there are warnings on the bottles not to swallow the mouthwash, his body had come to tolerate the otherwise poisonous ingredients.
Well, the guy may be a drunk and a total failure as a human being, but at least he practices good oral hygiene.
