A good lesson in life

 

 

The grass is always greener.

A life lesson



Sometimes in life you can reach too far!  


But when you find yourself over-extended and you're stuck in a situation  you can't get out of,
there is one thing you should always remember.......

Not everyone who shows up.......
Is there to help you!!!!

Are you an adventurous foodie?

Pig’s Blood Cake from Taiwan

Swine flu has got nothing to do with pigs; it’s official. Pork blood is the prime ingredient of the blood cake and it is mostly eaten with sticky Taiwanese rice. Roadside vendors often serve it on a wooden stick and coat it with fresh peanut powder. It may look like your usual Popsicle but this is not a melt-in-your-mouth sugary delight.

Management

A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She reduced altitude and spotted a man below. She descended a bit more and shouted,
"Excuse me, Sir, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago but I don't know where I am."

The man below replied, "You're in a hot air balloon hovering approximately 30 feet above the ground. You're between 40 and 41 degrees north latitude and between 59 and 60 degrees west longitude."

"You must be an engineer," said the lady balloonist.

 "Yes, I am," replied the man. "But, how did you know?"

 "Well," answered the balloonist. "Everything you told me is technically correct, but I've no idea how to make use of your information. The fact is I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help to me. If anything, you've delayed my trip even more.'

The man below responded, "You must be in management."

 "Yes, I am," replied the lady balloonist, "but, how did you know?"

 "Simple," said the man, "You don't know where you are, or where you're going. You have risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air within. You made a promise, which you've no idea how to keep, and you expect people beneath you, to solve your problems."

Can you sell a dead donkey?

A city boy, Kenny, moved to the country and bought a donkey from an
old farmer for $100.00. The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the
next day.

 The next day the farmer drove up and said, "Sorry son, but I have some
bad news, the donkey died last night."

 Kenny replied: "Well then, just give me my money back."

 The farmer said: "Can't do that. I went and spent it already."

 Kenny said: "OK then, just unload the donkey.."

  
The farmer asked: "What ya gonna do with him?"
Kenny: "I'm going to raffle him off." (Note: To raffle is to sell a
thing by lottery - draw lot - to a group of people each paying the
same amount for a ticket)

 Farmer: "You can't raffle off a dead donkey!"

  
Kenny: "Sure I can. Watch me. I just won't tell anybody he's dead."

 A month later the farmer met up with Kenny and asked, "What happened
with that dead donkey?" Kenny: "I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets
at two dollars apiece and made a profit of $898.00."

 Farmer: "Didn't anyone complain?"
Kenny: "Just the guy who won. So I gave him back his two dollars."

Humour in Law!

____________________________________________

               ATTORNEY: This myasthenia gravis, does it affect your memory at all?
               WITNESS: Yes.
               ATTORNEY: And in what ways does it affect your memory?
               WITNESS: I forget.
               ATTORNEY: You forget? Can you give us an example of something you forgot?
               ___________________________________________

               ATTORNEY: Now doctor, isn't it true that when a person dies in his sleep, he doesn't know about it until the next morning?
               WITNESS: Did you actually pass the bar exam?
               _________________________ ___________

               ATTORNEY: The youngest son, the twenty-year-old, how old is he?
               WITNESS: He's twenty, much like your IQ.
               ___________________________________________

               ATTORNEY: Were you present when your picture was taken?
               WITNESS: Are you shitting me?
               _________________________________________

               ATTORNEY: She had three children, right?
               WITNESS: Yes.
               ATTORNEY: How many were boys?
               WITNESS: None.
               ATTORNEY: Were there any girls?
               WITNESS: Your Honor, I think I need a different attorney. Can I get a new attorney?
               ____________________________________________

               ATTORNEY: How was your first marriage terminated?
               WITNESS: By death.
               ATTORNEY: And by whose death was it terminated?
               WITNESS: Take a guess.
               ____________________________________________

               ATTORNEY: Can you describe the individual?
               WITNESS: He was about medium height and had a beard.
               ATTORNEY: Was this a male or a female?
               WITNESS: Unless the Circus was in town I'm going with male.
               _________________ ____________________

               ATTORNEY: Is your appearance here this morning pursuant to a deposition notice which I sent to your attorney?
               WITNESS: No, this is how I dress when I go to work.
               ______________________________________

               ATTORNEY: Doctor, how many of your autopsies have you performed on dead people?
               WITNESS: All of them. The live ones put up too much of a fight.
               _________________________________________

               ATTORNEY: ALL your responses MUST be oral, OK? What school did you go to?
               WITNESS: Oral.
                _________________________________________
               ATTORNEY: Do you recall the time that you examined the body?
               WITNESS: The autopsy started around 8:30 p.m.
               ATTORNEY: And Mr. Denton was dead at the time?
               WITNESS: If not, he was by the time I finished.
               ____________________________________________

               ATTORNEY: Are you qualified to give a urine sample?
               WITNESS: Are you qualified to ask that question?
               ______________________________________

               And the best for last:

               ATTORNEY: Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse?
               WITNESS: No.
               ATTORNEY: Did you check for blood pressure?
               WITNESS: No.
               ATTORNEY: Did you check for breathing?
               WITNESS: No.
               ATTORNEY: So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy?
               WITNESS: No.
               ATTORNEY: How can you be so sure, Doctor?
               WITNESS: Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar.
               ATTORNEY: I see, but could the patient have still been alive, nevertheless?
               WITNESS: Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law.

An Apt IT joke

Five cannibals (Man eaters) get appointed as programmers in an IT company.

During the welcoming ceremony the boss says: "You're all part of our team now. You can earn good money here, and you can go to the company canteen for something to eat. So don't trouble the other employees".

The cannibals promise not to trouble the other employees.

Four weeks later the boss returns and says: "You're all working very hard, and I'm very satisfied with all of you. One of our developers  has disappeared however. Do any of you know what happened to her?" The cannibals disown all knowledge of the missing developer. After the  boss has left, the leader of the cannibals says to the others: "Which  of you
idiots ate the developer?"

One of the cannibals raises his hand hesitantly, to which the leader of the cannibals says: "You FOOL! For four weeks we've been eating  team leaders, managers, and project managers and no one noticed anything, and now YOU ate one developer and it got noticed. So here after please don't eat a person who is working."

The Great Indian Magic!

Three contractors are bidding to fix a broken fence at the White House. One from Bangladesh, another from India and the third, from China.

They go with a White House official to examine the fence.
 
The Bangladesh contractor takes out a tape measure and does some measuring, then works some figures with a pencil.
"Well", he says, "I figure the job will run about $900. ($400 for materials, $400 for my team and $100 profit for me)".
 
The Chinese contractor also does some measuring and figuring, then says,
"I can do this job for $700. ($300 for materials, $300 for my team and $100 profit for me)".
 
The Indian contractor doesn't measure or figure, but leans over to the White House official and whispers, "$2,700."

The official, incredulous, says, "You didn't even measure like the other guys! How did you come up with such a high figure?"
The Indian contractor whispers back, "$1000 for me, $1000 for you, and we hire the guy from China to fix the fence."
 
"Done!" Replies the official.

Right Brain Vs Left Brain

This totally spookes you out. Look at it with a couple of friends around. You'll be surprised to hear conflicting replies about the direction!

'The Brain'

Quite amazing!

 

                                    

THE Right Brain vs Left Brain test ... do you see the dancer turning clockwise or anti-clockwise?  

 If you see this woman turning in clockwise you are using your right brain
If you see it the other way, you are using left brain.  Some people do see both ways, but most people see it only one way.

See if you can make her go one way and then the other by shifting the brain's current.


BOTH DIRECTIONS CAN BE SEEN

Experimentation has shown that the two different sides, or hemispheres, of the brain are responsible for different manners of thinking. The following table illustrates the differences between left-brain and right-brain thinking:
a
Left Brain
                      Right Brain

Logical                             Random
Sequential                       Intuitive
Rational                           Holistic
Analytical                         Synthesizing
Objective                         Subjective
Looks at Parts               Looks at wholes


 Most individuals have a distinct preference for one of these styles of thinking. Some, however, are more whole-brained and equally adept at both modes. In general, schools tend to favor left-brain modes of thinking, while downplaying the right-brain ones. Left-brain scholastic subjects focus on logical thinking, analysis, and accuracy. Right-brained subjects, on the other hand, focus on aesthetics, feeling, and creativity…

Benefits of Marriage

On their 45th wedding anniversary and during the banquet celebrating it, Tom was asked to give his friends a brief account of the benefits of a marriage of such long duration.

"Tell us Tom, just what is it you have learned from all those wonderful years with your wife?"

Tom responds, "Well, I've learned that marriage is the best teacher of all. It teaches you loyalty, forbearance, meekness, self-restraint, forgiveness and many great other qualities that you wouldn't have needed if you'd stayed single."

Are Americans really wrong?

It was during World War II, and some soldiers were back in England, on a break from the fighting. They returned from France by boat to Dover and were on a train to London. The train was quite crowded, so a US Marine walked the entire length looking for a seat, but the only seat left was taken by the French poodle of a very well dressed, middle-aged, Englishwoman.

The sweat stained war-weary Marine asked, 'Ma'am, may I have that seat?'
The woman just sniffed and said to no one in particular, 'Americans are so rude. My little Fifi is using that seat.'

The Marine walked the entire train again, but the only seat left was under that dog. 'Please, ma'am. May I sit down? I'm very tired.'

She snorted, 'Not only are you Americans rude, you are also arrogant!'

This time the Marine didn't say a word; he just picked up the little dog, tossed it out the train window, and sat down.

The woman shrieked, 'Someone must defend my honour! Put this American in his place!'

An English gentleman sitting nearby lowered his newspaper and looking over his reading glasses spoke very calmly 'Sir, you Americans seem to have a penchant for doing the wrong thing. You hold the fork in the wrong hand. You drive your autos on the wrong side of the road. And now, sir, you seem to have thrown the wrong bitch out of the window.'

Unmarried girl

A young unmarried girl discovers that she is pregnant.

Scared……..She confides this "news" to her mother.


Shouting, cursing, crying, the mother says, "Who was the pig that did This to you?

I want to know!" The girl picks up the phone and makes a call.


Half an hour later a Ferrari stops in front of their house; a mature and distinguished man with gray hair and impeccably dressed in a very expensive suit steps out of it and enters the house.


He sits in the living room with the father, the mother and the Girl, and tells them: "Good morning, your daughter has informed me of the Problem. However, I can't marry her because of my personal family situation, but I'll take responsibility.


If a girl is born I will bequeath her 2 retail stores, a townhouse, a beach villa and a $1,000,000 bank account.


If a boy is born, my legacy will be a couple of factories and a $2,000,000 bank account.


If it is twins, a factory and $1,000,000 each.


However, If there is a miscarriage or unsuccessful delivery , what do you suggest I do?"




At this point, the father, who had remained silent, places a hand firmly on the man's shoulder and tells him,





















"You can try again!"

Men will never learn

A woman and a man are involved in a car accident.  It's a bad one. Both of their cars are demolished but amazingly neither of them is hurt. After they crawl out of their cars, the woman says, 'So, you're a man... That's interesting. I'm a woman. Wow, just look at our cars!  
 
There's nothing  left, but fortunately we are unhurt. This must be a sign from God that we should meet and be friends and live together in peace for the rest of our days.'
The man replied,' I agree with you completely. This must be a sign from God!
 
The woman continued, 'And look at this, here's another  miracle... My car is completely demolished, but this bottle of wine didn't break. Surely God wants us to drink this wine and celebrate our good fortune.'
 
Then she hands the bottle to the man. The man nods his head in agreement, opens it, drinks half the bottle and then  hands it back to the woman. The woman takes the bottle, immediately puts the cap back on, and hands it back to the man. The man asks, 'Aren't you having any?'
 
She replies, 'Nah. I think I'll just wait for the police...'

The love story of Ralph and Edna

Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have. Ralph and Edna were both patients in a mental hospital. One day while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool Ralph suddenly jumped into the deep end.

He sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed there.

Edna promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottom and pulled him out. When the Head Nurse Director became aware of Edna's heroic act she immediately ordered her to be discharged from the hospital, as she now considered her to be mentally stable.

When she went to tell Edna the news, she said, 'Edna, I have good news and bad news. The good news is you're being discharged, since you were able to rationally respond to a crisis by jumping in and saving the life of the person you love. I have concluded that your act displays sound mindedness.

The bad news is, Ralph hung himself in the bathroom with his bathrobe belt right after you saved him. I am so sorry, but he's dead.'

Edna replied, 'He didn't hang himself, I put him there to dry. How soon can I go home?'

Today is Mental Health Day! You can do your bit by remembering to pass on the link to this post to an unstable friend......

Done my part!!!

Guts Vs Balls

 We've all heard about people having Guts or Balls.

But do you really know the difference between them? In an effort to keep you informed, the definition for each is listed below :

GUTS - is arriving home late after a night out with guys, being met by your wife with a broom, and having the guts to ask: "Are you still cleaning, or are you flying somewhere?"

BALLS - is coming home late after a night out with the guys, smelling of perfume and beer, lipstick on your collar, slapping your wife on the ass and having the balls to say: "You're next."

I hope this clears up any confusion on the definitions. Medically speaking, there is no difference in the outcome since both ultimately result in death.
