Whose Clock? A man died and went to heaven. As he stood in front of St. Peter at the Pearly Gates, he saw a huge wall of clocks behind him. He asked, “What are all those clocks?” St. Peter answered, “Those are Lie-Clocks. Everyone on Earth has a Lie-Clock. Every time you lie the hands on your clock will move.” “Oh,” said the man, “whose clock is that?”
indicating that she never told a lie.”
“That’s Mother Teresa’s. The hands have never moved,
“Incredible,” said the man. “That’s Abraham Lincoln’s clock. The hands have moved twice, telling us that Abe told only two lies in his entire life,” St. Peter informed him. “Where’s Obama’s clock?” “His clock is in Jesus’s office. He’s using it as a ceiling fan.” FACEBOOK.COM//WHATSUPXTRAMAGAZINE

Samsung Introduces Its New Smartwatch
Technology and You: It's Game Time! Sony has set November 15 for the debut of its new PlayStation 4 videogame console. That's about the same time that rival Microsoft is expected to start selling the new Xbox One.
The PlayStation 4
Sony hasn't released a new game console since 2006 when it came out with PlayStation 3. Since then, it has sold 70 million units. The new console promises to have even more sales. It has had pre-orders for millions of units.
It’s been 40 years since comic book hero Dick Tracy used his watch as a two-way radio. All the kids wanted one. Now, you can have a watch that’s even better than Dick Tracy’s. Samsung’s new Galaxy Gear smartwatch ($299) was introduced recently, and other makers are working on one. Samsung’s watch has to be paired with its Galaxy Note 3 smartphone. When you sync Galaxy Gear with Note 3 (via low-energy Bluetooth), it responds to voice commands. You can make or answer calls, glance at texts, emails, and other alerts at your wrist. The Gear also doubles as a pedometer, stopwatch, timer and music player. If you walk away from the Note 3, the phone screen with automatically lock, then unlock when you get closer.
Some Companies Won't Hire Smokers A growing number of organizations refuse to hire people who smoke. They say smokers raise health insurance costs, and miss work more often. The U.S. smoking rate is about 20 percent, except for those 65 and older, who are half as likely to smoke. People looking for a job would be wise to quit before filling out an application, according to the AARP Bulletin.

Sony is acquiring new technologies to help it stream games to handheld devices. At $399, the PlayStation 4 will cost $100 less than Microsoft's new offering. Sony is reducing the price of its PlayStation Vita handheld console to $199 from $249. It is also creating a streaming game service that does all the intricate computational work than beams the images over the Web to the console.
The Microsoft Xbox One Microsoft plans to launch its competing Xbox sometime in November. It will be its first new model since 2005 when it released the Xbox 360, which has sold more than 78 million units. Without new hardware, sales of all game consoles have fallen worldwide. Now Microsoft is emphasizing broader possibilities than game playing for the Xbox One. It has such features such as live television viewing and interactions with its Kinect motion controller. It can layer images from a server into images created by the video game console.
The Future of Video Game Consoles Analysts expect both consoles will sell strongly at first, but whether those devices, as well as Nintendo Wii U, released last year, can experience the same success over time as their predecessors remains unclear. As more people play free or inexpensive games on PCs and mobile devices, Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo are feeling more pressure to attract gamers to their products. WWW.WHATSUPXTRA.COM

The Heated Boardroom On a tour of the facilities, the new CEO noticed a guy leaning against a wall. The room was full of workers and he wanted to let them know that he meant business. He stopped and in a stern voice asked the guy, “How much money do you make a week?” A little surprised, the young man looked at him and said, “I make about $400 a week. Why?” The CEO said, “Wait right here.” He walked back to his office, came back in two minutes and handed the guy $1,600 in cash and said, “Here's four weeks' pay. Now get out and don't come back!” Feeling pretty good about himself the CEO looked around the room and asked, “Does anyone want to tell me what that goofball did here?” From across the room a voice said, “That was the pizza delivery guy sir.”

NOVEMBER HOROSCOPE ARIES: Take care to keep your temper in check. It's too easy for you to shake up people when you think you're just venting. It may be hard to relate to certain people now.
LIBRA: You are especially slick now. That could take you far as you grease the wheels of progress and smooth out relationships among co-workers.
TAURUS: You're having a sense of ownership over something that might not really be yours. Try to let it go as much as you can. It's a really good time for you to reconsider.
SCORPIO: The stars say there's nothing bad about being a Scorpio. You are determined and forceful while being emotional, intuitive, exciting, and magnetic. Wow. SAGITTARIUS: It's time to consider the status of your health, which you haven't done for a while. See a doctor for a checkup to determine what areas need more attention.
GEMINI: You are beginning to feel a powerful romantic attraction. You could be entering a danger zone if it's for someone at work. Avoid flirting and walk away.
CAPRICORN: When you attend a big family Thanksgiving dinner, take your "live and let live" attitude with you. Some relatives are loving, but some are just aggravating.
CANCER: If your boss wants you to take on a significant project, but you aren't sure, take it anyway. Have faith in yourself. The boss is a good judge of your capabilities. LEO: Look beyond the obvious and you will be able to determine what isn't being said. In some situations there's more telling than what you can hear.
AQUARIUS: You're generally in control of your finances, but Christmas buying could trip you up. Don't let it happen this year. Plan now for what you can and will do.
VIRGO: November will be a lucky month for you. Partly because of work you've done already and partly because your potential is being recognized. You've created your luck.
PISCES: It might feel like you're a fish out of water when it comes to the company Christmas party. It's coming up, so decide now to have a nice time. But be careful about what you will say and when.
Three Guys...
Life is short, live it. Love is rare, grab it. Anger is bad, dump it. Fear is awful, face it. A memory is sweet, cherish it.
Three guys are drinking in a bar when a drunk comes in, staggers up to them, and points at the guy in the middle, shouting,
Unknown
"Your
mom's the best sex in town!" Everyone expects a fight, but the guy ignores him, so the drunk wanders off and bellies up to the bar at the far end. Ten minutes later, the drunk comes back, points at the same guy, and says, "I just did your mom, and it was sweet!" Again the guy refuses to take the bait, and the drunk goes back to the far end of the bar. Ten minutes later, he comes back and announces, "Your mom liked it!" Finally the guy stands up and shouts, "Go home, Dad, you're drunk!" FACEBOOK.COM//WHATSUPXTRAMAGAZINE

La La’s Love Letters Dear La La, Six months ago I landed a good job at a small but lucrative firm. My boss, who’s the highest ranking person there, decided to stick me in his office just 2 feet away from him at all times. My boss is notoriously cheap and the word is that he doesn't want to pay to rent extra space. So what’s the problem? He is smoking hot and all I think about all day every day is where and how I might “do him” in our cozy little love nest. I wonder if he keeps me close for financial reasons or if there is by Lauren Strec a possibility he feels the same about me. Should I approach him about the way I feel and see if it is mutual or should I keep my secret fantasies to myself? Horny Helen Dear Horny, Change your panties, and keep that shit to yourself. If he doesn’t accept your “offer,” you could blow everything! Or at least make the close quarters even more awkward. You’re still a newbie at the firm, so before you make any moves, get some time under your belt: both in seniority at work, and getting to know him a little better. Find out why someone so handsome is such a tightwod, and [assumingly] single. Time can answer your question about his feelings towards you, without jeopardizing your good job. Dear LaLa, I was in a monogamous relationship with my girlfriend for two years. We split up and remained platonic friends. Months later, on a drunken night, we had sex. At that point, neither of us had slept with anyone else. After we had sex that night and the demon was released. I went on to sleep with three other women over the course of the next few months. Now my ex-girlfriend and I may get back together, and she has asked the question: Have I slept with anyone else? So far, I have managed to avoid answering her. We are currently sleeping together and I don’t want to jeopardize the possibility of a reunion. Do I have to tell her? Playing Pete Dear Pete, Women WILL investigate if we suspect something. With that said, you might as well just say it. Because there’s a strong chance that she will find out anyway, and when she discovers you lied… watch out. The potential argument you have now will be much more workable than a post-lie argument. Bite the bullet and say that there were three girls, you used a condom, and that they sucked in bed. Don’t be ashamed when you say it, and follow up that you haven’t slept with anyone since you and her started getting it on again. If she starts blowing up, keep your cool and DON’T apologize. Being ashamed or portraying that you’re guilty will create an atmosphere that you are wrong, she is right, and then she’ll have power to be upset. Tell her that it’s not fair to be punished for something that took place when no relationship or boundaries were established, and that you would appreciate if she thought about that. In the end, you want a girl that uses logic, so the result of this convo will either reveal someone you can keep, or someone you can keep… at arm’s length. Oh, and hey: she may admit that she slept with 3 guys, so be prepared to use some logic yourself if she drops that bomb.

Dear LaLa, I need your help. I'm 35 and I believe I'm running out of time to get married and have a family. I have been with my girlfriend for 4 years. I like her and she is a beautiful person with a great career and dedicated to me. We live together and admire her deeply. However, I just recently met a girl that I had a sexual relationship with and she turns my stomach inside out and I can't stop thinking about her. This new girl told me to lose her phone because I was never going to break up with my girlfriend. What should I do? Break up or forget this girl ever happened and get married with my girlfriend or continue seeing her on the side and see where it goes? Confused Dear Confused, You’re not running out of time. And you’re definitely not ready for a relationship, let alone marriage. You “like” your girlfriend of 4 years? You “admire her deeply” enough to stick it to a side chick? You have to leave both of these women, and stop putting a deadline to settling down. 35 is not old, and there’s no doubt you need to grow up. There’s nothing wrong with “exploring” a few women, as long as you are a bachelor! What IS wrong, is being with more than one woman and holding both their hearts while you figure out what the hell you want. Break up with your girlfriend because she doesn’t do it for you, tuck away your boner for the side chick because she already knows you’re a cheater and will never trust you, and live it up as a single man until you find the woman that does everything for you, and just as important: you do everything for her. This may happen next year, or when you’re 50. Who cares? Just do it right. Dear LaLa, Today, my boyfriend left for Italy to play baseball for a semi-pro team. He will be staying there for a number of months and during this time, I will not be able to see him, and I'll rarely get to talk to him. He's the only guy I've ever loved, and I'm the only girl he's ever loved, so his leaving is extremely hard on both of us. I’m worried he will not be able to focus on his career because he will be so worried about what I am doing and missing me, so I was contemplating ending things. This way, he'd spend a couple weeks being sad, but he'd get over it, and concentrate on his future. I pray when it’s all over we are able to get back together and that we still feel the same about one another. Am I crazy to sacrifice my future to help him achieve his dream? Worried Wanda Dear Wanda, Long-distance relationships are not promising. I can understand your contemplation to just nip it in the butt and end it. But don’t. You’re always going to wonder if don’t at least give it a shot. I realize you won’t be able to communicate often, but if there is some point during the day, where you both have 10 minutes, even if you have to wake up at 3 in the morning, get on the webcam and just talk. Don’t put anything on hold, and see what happens. He will be busy with his work, and you should keep living your life as you would. If your love for each other withstands the time and distance, you really have something, and you’ll be glad that you stayed. And if it doesn’t work out, then you’ll never have to question, “what if.”

JFK - 50 Years Ago For Americans in their late 50s and older, the assassination of President John F. Kennedy was a watershed moment, a blip in time so shocking that everyone can say just where they were and what they were doing. The events of November 23, 1963 should be crystal clear for older adults, but it can hardly be forgotten by people of any age, given the dozens of movies and conspiracy theories. The assassination of President Kennedy occurred during an especially turbulent period in U.S. history. Externally, the nation was just recovering from 13 days of fear during the Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1962. School children practiced bomb drills in anticipation of an attack on the mainland. Parents wondered aloud what good bomb drills would do if a nuclear war ensued. People dug bomb shelters but life went on. Unfortunately for many people, life in the America during the 1960s and 1970s wasn't fair or free, and the great Civil Right Movement began. In an era when the nation moved from shock to shock, on that day in November, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., predicted his own assassination, "This is what is going to happen to me too." His words were quoted by Coretta, his wife, in books and magazines. Five years later in 1968, King's prediction came true in April. Later that year in June, Robert Kennedy was also assassinated. The Vietnam peace movement gained steam by 1965 and protests continued into the 1970s. The coming years will see many 50th anniversaries of the dramatic events of the 1960s, beginning with the assassination of President Kennedy.
Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal. Thomas Jefferson, principal author of the Declaration of Independence
Big Birthday Coming Up A guy goes in a bar and starts talking with the man sitting next to him. They drink for a while and after some conversation they find out one is rich, one is poor and they both have wives with a birthday coming up. The rich guy tells his new friend that he is getting his wife a beautiful diamond ring and a Ferrari for her birthday. The poor man asks, “Why in the hell would you get her both?” The rich guy replies, “That way if she does not like the ring she can drive the car the jewelry store to return the ring.” The poor man says, “Wow, I just got my wife a pair of flip flops and a dildo.” The rich confused asks, “Why would you get her that combination of gifts?” The poor man replied, “That way if she doesn't like the flip flops she can go screw herself!”

A man escapes from prison where he has been for 15 years. He breaks into a house to look for money and guns and finds a young couple in bed. He orders the guy out of bed and ties him to a chair, while tying the girl to the bed he gets on top of her, kisses her neck, then gets up and goes into the bathroom. While he’s in there, the husband tells his wife. “Listen, this guy’s an escaped convict, look at his clothes! He probably spent lots of time in jail and hasn't seen a woman in years. I saw how he kissed your neck. If he wants sex, don’t resist, don’t complain, do whatever he tells you. Satisfy him no matter how much he nauseates you. This guy is probably very dangerous. If he gets angry, he’ll kill us. Be strong, honey. I love you.” To which his wife responds, “He wasn't kissing my neck. He was whispering in my ear. He told me he was gay, thought you were cute, and asked me if we had any Vaseline. I told him it was in the bathroom. Be strong honey. I love you too!!” WWW.WHATSUPXTRA.COM

A Father Loses His Way Shopping For A Birthday Present

One day a father gets out of work and on his way home he suddenly remembers that it’s his daughter’s birthday. He pulls over to a Toy Shop and asks the sales person, “How much for one of those Barbie’s in the display window?” The salesperson answers, “Which one do you mean, Sir? We have: Work Out Barbie for $19.95, Shopping Barbie for $19.95, Beach Barbie for $19.95, Disco Barbie for $19.95, Ballerina Barbie for $19.95, Astronaut Barbie for $19.95, Skater Barbie for $19.95, and Divorced Barbie for $265.95.″ The amazed father asks, “It’s what? Why is the Divorced Barbie $265.95 and the others only $19.95?” The annoyed salesperson rolls her eyes, sighs, and answers, “Sir, Divorced Barbie comes with Ken’s Car, Ken’s House, Ken’s Boat, Ken’s Furniture, Ken’s Computer, one of Ken’s Friends, and a key chain made with Ken’s balls!”

New Company Policy When the company president learned that his employees were tanking up on no-odor vodka during their lunch hours, he issued the following memo: To all employees: If you must drink during your lunch hours, please drink whiskey.

In a hushed voice, the guy next to him says, "Before you tell that joke, you should know something. Our bartender IS blonde, the bouncer is blonde. I'm a 6' tall, 200 lb black belt. The guy sitting next to me is 6'2", weighs 225, and he's a rugby player. The fella to your right is 6'5" pushing 300 and he's a wrestler. Each one of US is blonde. Think about it, Mister. Do you still want to tell that joke?" The blind guy replied, "Nah, not if I'm going to have to explain it five times."

9. There were two ways to cook a turkey back in 1627. One was to roast it using strings and skewers and spinning it vertically.

It cost $3 back then. What was that equivalent to? (a) A day's pay (b) A week's pay (c) A month's pay 10. Why is Thanksgiving always observed on a Thursday? (a) The pilgrims felt it was sacrilegious to have a party on the holy Sabbath day (Sunday) (b) It took a lot of time and work to prepare all of this and by Thursday they were done and had to eat it all before things spoiled (c) The pilgrims went to church twice a week; Sundays and mid-prayer on Thursdays. They wanted to use the mid-prayer day as a day of thanksgiving
