1、老婆對老公說：“我真不明白，追求我的所有人裡，哪個都比你有錢，可是我為什麼偏偏鬼迷心竅喜歡你呢？”
老公說：“那是因為窮人比富人更會關心女人，至少更關心女人的身材，跟著我，你永遠都用不著為腰圍發愁。”

2、“要是哪一天我萬一發胖了呢？”
“那我就當是進入了時間隧道，回到了以胖為美的唐朝啦。”

3、“你比我大九歲，年齡相差也太懸殊了。”
“那更好，我要是不比你老，還沒有人給你提供嘲笑資源呢。”

4、“你的長相也太慘了點兒。”
“那正是我比帥哥更優越的地方，帥哥只會用時髦的衣服和靚麗的膚色跟你爭奪美名，而我卻永遠一身布衣，甘做你的陪襯，讓人家看到，還以為我是你的司機呢。”


5、有人問老公：“結婚前後，女人什麼地方發生變化最大？”
老公說：“視力。婚前女人把男人看成開心果，可是婚後卻總是這不滿那不滿的，覺得婚前的日子像無花果一樣白過了，豈不知道，無花果比開心果更甜。”

6、朋友跟老公喝酒。“男人是車。”朋友發感慨道。
老公接口道：“女人是加油站。”
朋友說：“不過女人一結婚，就變成男人的收費站了。”
老公打斷他：“她沒變成洗車站用高壓水槍迎頭給男人澆冷水，就算男人的造化了。”

7、老公跟老婆說：“以前我覺得自己是大力水手，而愛情是菠菜，一吃菠菜就力大無窮。現在我才發現，當初看走了眼，愛情只是棵空心菜而已。”
“然而空心菜看著跟菠菜差不多，味道一點也不比菠菜差。”老婆說。

8、“跟你一起生活，比開三個公司還累。”老公抱怨道。
“哪三個公司？”老婆問。
“以前是鮮花公司，後來是送餐公司，最後都成道歉公司了。”

9、老婆經常懷念他們相識的那段時光，於是問老公：“你怎麼看我們的相識？”
老公說：“認識你就像誤入了一家正在促銷的商場，明知‘買一送一’是虛假廣告，卻經不住誘惑。”

SQL 2005 JDBC fix the resultset re-read throws exception problem. However, you need to use executeUpdate() for insert,update and delete instead of execute() for SQL 2005 JDBC, otherwise will throw exception on this.

There is a free version of SQL server 2005 call SQL server express, which just like MSDE http://www.microsoft.com/sql/editions/express/redistregister.mspx

Here is a comparison: http://www.sqlmag.com[..]le/ArticleID/49618/sql_server_49618.html , may be we can use that instead of MSDE 2005 and discoutinue support of SQL server 2000 so that we can test one thing less?
