Three women -- one German, one Japanese and a nepalese -- were
sitt ing 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 mobile phone. I have a microchip in my hand."

The nepalese 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
nepalese woman finally said,
WELL, WILL YA LOOK AT THAT - IM GETTIN' A FAX."
