CUPERTINO, California — 29 January 2016— Apple® today announced a voluntary recall of AC wall plug adapters designed for use in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Continental Europe, New Zealand and South Korea. In very rare cases, affected Apple two-prong wall plug adapters may break and create a risk of electrical shock if touched. These wall plug adapters shipped with Mac® and certain iOS devices between 2003 and 2015 and were also included in the Apple World Travel Adapter Kit. Apple is aware of 12 incidents worldwide.


The recall does not affect any other Apple AC wall plug adapters designed for Canada, China, Hong Kong, Japan, United Kingdom, United States or any Apple USB power adapters.
 
Because customer safety is the company’s top priority, Apple is asking customers to stop using affected plug adapters. Customers should visit www.apple.com/support/ac-wallplug-adapter for details about how to exchange the affected adapters for new, redesigned ones.
 
An affected two-prong plug adapter has either four or five characters or no characters on the inside slot where it attaches to the main Apple power adapter. Visit the program website for more details on how to identify an affected adapter.

Two Aussies and a Logic Scientist

Two Aussie builders, Keith and Ken, are seated either side of a table in a rough pub when a well-dressed man enters, orders a beer and sits on a stool at the bar. The two builders start to speculate about the occupation of the suit.
Ken: “I reckon he’s an accountant”.
Keith: “No way – he’s a stockbroker”.
Ken: “He ain’t no stockbroker! A stockbroker wouldn’t come in here!”
The argument repeats itself for some time until the volume of beer gets the better of Ken and he makes for the toilet. On entering the toilet he sees that the suit is standing at a urinal. Curiosity and the several beers get the better of the builder.
Ken: “‘Scuse me mate… no offence meant, but me and me mate were wondering what you do for a living?”
Suit: “No offence taken! I’m a Logical Scientist by profession”.
Ken: “Oh! What’s that then?”
Suit: “I’ll try to explain by example… do you have a goldfish at home?
Ken: “Err… hmmm… well yeah, I do as it happens!”
Suit: “Well, it’s logical to follow that you keep it in a bowl or in a pond. Which is it?
Ken: “It’s in a pond!”
Suit: “Well then it’s reasonable to suppose that you have a large garden”.
Ken “As it happens, yes I have got a big garden!”
Suit: “Well then it’s logical to assume that in this town if you have a large garden then you have a large house?”
Ken: “As it happens I’ve got a five-bedroom house… built it myself!”
Suit: “Well given that you’ve built a five-bedroom house it is logical to assume that you haven’t built it just for yourself and that you are quite probably married?”
Ken: “Yes I am married, I live with my wife and five children”.
Suit: “Well then it is logical to assume that you are sexually active with your wife on a regular basis?”
Ken: “Yep! Five or six nights a week!”
Suit: “Well then it is logical to suggest that you do not masturbate very often?”
Ken: “Me? Never!”
Suit: “Well there you are! That’s logical science at work!”
Ken: “How’s that then?”
Suit: “Well from finding out that you had a goldfish, I’ve told you about your sex life!”
Ken: “I see! That’s pretty impressive… thanks mate!
Both leave the toilet and Ken returns to his mate.
Keith: “I see the suit was in there. Did you ask him what he does?”
Ken: “Yep! He’s a logical scientist!”
Keith: “What’s that then?”
Ken: “I’ll try and explain. Do you have a goldfish?”
Keith: “Nope”.
Ken: “Well then, you’re a wanker!”

Moose Hunting

Two men chartered a small plane to fly to Canada for a moose hunting trip. They managed to bag six. As they were loading the plane to return, the pilot said the plane could take only four moose. The two lads objected strongly.

“Last year we shot six. The pilot let us take them all and he had the same plane as yours”.

Reluctantly, the pilot gave in and all six were loaded. The plane took off. However, while attempting to cross some mountains even on full power, the little plane couldn’t handle the load and went down.

Somehow, surrounded by the moose bodies, Jim and Tony survived the crash.

After climbing out of the wreckage, Jim asked Tony “Any idea where we are?”

Tony replied “I think we’re pretty close to where we crashed last year”.

Infidelity and the Mother In Law

The mother-in-law arrives home from shopping to find her son-in-law, Walter, in a steaming rage and hurriedly packing his suitcase.

“What happened, Walter?” she asks anxiously. “What happened? I’ll tell you what happened! I sent an email to my wife telling her I was coming home today from my hunting trip. I get home… and guess what I found? Your daughter, my wife, Olga, naked with Joe Koverski in our marital bed! This is unforgivable! The end of our marriage. I’m done. I’m leaving forever!”

“Ah now, calm down, calm down Walter!” says his mother-in-law. “There is something very odd going on here. Olga would never do such a thing! There must be a simple explanation. I’ll go speak to her immediately and find out what happened”.

Moments later, the mother-in-law comes back with a big smile.

“Walter, there I told you there must be a simple explanation… “She never got your email!”
