At first, one marvels at the technological zeal that propelled men of science to learn how to deep fry a liquid. Then you realize the Pepsi just replaces the water in a batter that gets fried.

For $4.00, you get about eight ping-pong-ball-sized chunks of dough that are smothered in powdered sugar, cinnamon and whipped cream.

The first thing you notice is the crispiness; like all fried foods, the Pepsi has a pleasant texture. It’s doughier than a funnel cake, and you can almost swear you can feel the carbonation on your tongue.

The toppings sort of overwhelm the flavor: only the aftertaste offers an ever-so-slight hint of cola.

And that’s not necessarily a bad thing. It’s really a pretty good dessert — Just not for the reason advertised, Not for the joy of Pepsi.

It was a night fit for a Hip-Hop soul queen as Mary J. Blige collected three trophies Sunday (Feb. 11) during the 49th Annual Grammy Awards. The singer, who garnered eight nominations and brought the house down with an emotional performance of “Be Without You”, won the Grammy for Best R&B Album for the The Breakthrough as well as Best R&B Song and Best R&B Performance. T.I. took home two Grammys for Best Rap Solo Performance for “What You Know” and Best Rap/Sung Collaboration for “My Love” with Justin Timberlake. Gnarls Barkley scored two Grammy awards for Best Urban/Alternative Performance and Alternative Music Album, while Chamillionnaire won for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group. Backed by Blige and Earth, Wind and Fire, Ludacris performed “Runaway Love” moments after sending a special shout out to Bill O’Reily and Oprah Winfrey upon accepting the Grammy for Best Rap Album for Release Therapy.

An unemployed man goes to apply for a job with Microsoft as a janitor. The manager there arranges for him to take an aptitude test (Section: Floors, sweeping and cleaning).

After the test, the manager says, “You will be employed at minimum wage. Let me have your e-mail address, so that I can send you a form to complete and tell you where to report for work on your first day.” Taken aback, the man protests that he has neither a computer nor an e-mail address. To this the MS manager replies, “Well, then, that means that you virtually don’t exist and can therefore hardly expect to be employed.”

Stunned, the man leaves. Not knowing where to turn and having only $10 in his wallet, he decides to buy a 25 lb. flat of tomatoes at the supermarket. Within less than two hours, he sells all the tomatoes individually at 100% profit.

Repeating the process several times more that day, he ends up with almost $100 before going to sleep that night.

And thus it dawns on him that he could quite easily make a living selling tomatoes. Getting up early every day and going to bed late, he multiplies his profits quickly. After a short time he acquires a cart to transport several dozen boxes of tomatoes, only to have to trade it in again so that he can buy a pick-up truck to support his expanding business.

By the end of the second year, he is the owner of a fleet of pick-up trucks and manages a staff of a hundred former unemployed people, all selling tomatoes. Planning for the future of his wife and children, he decides to buy some life insurance. Consulting with an insurance adviser, he picks an insurance plan. At the end of the telephone conversation, the adviser asks him for his e-mail address in order to send the final documents electronically.

When the man replies that he has no e-mail, the adviser is stunned, “What, you don’t have e-mail? How on earth have you managed to amass such wealth without the Internet, e-mail and e-commerce? Just imagine where you would be now, if you had been connected to the internet from the very start!”

After a moment of thought, the tomato millionaire replied, “Why, of course! I would be a floor cleaner at Microsoft!”

Moral of this story:

1. The Internet, e-mail and e-commerce do not need to rule your life.
2. If you don’t have e-mail, but work hard, you can still become a millionaire.
3. Seeing that you got this story via e-mail, you’re probably closer to becoming a janitor than you are to becoming a millionaire.
4. If you do have a computer and e-mail, you have already been taken to the cleaners by Microsoft.
