Three women -- one German, one Japanese, and a Hillbilly -- were sitting
naked in a sauna. Suddenly there was a beeping sound. The German pressed
her forearm and the beep stopped.

The others looked at her questioningly.

"That was my pager," she said. " I have a microchip under the skin of my
arm.

A few minutes later, a phone rang. The Japanese women lifted her palm to
her ear. When she finished, she explained, "that was my cell phone. I
have a microchip in my hand."

The Hillbilly woman felt decidedly low tech. Not to be outdone, she
decided she had to do something just as impressive. She stepped out of
the sauna and went to the bathroom. She returned with a piece of toilet
paper hanging from her behind. The others raised their eyebrows and
stared at her. The Hillbilly women finally said, "well, will you look
at that! I'm gettin' a fax."
