Giving birth is like taking your lower lip and forcing it over your head.

A successful entrepreneur won a business award in the IT field and was asked by a reporter as to how he managed to motivate his workers to come to office on time.

The entrepreneur replied, "Oh, that' easy. I have 45 people working for me but only 44 parking lots without pay. I charge for the last lot.

```````````````

The Judge charged Peter with rape and pronounced in the court, "You are to undergo ten years of rigorous imprisonment and you are charged with a fine of $10,608 dollars."

Peter asked, "I did not understand the odd figure of $10,608 dollars."

The Judge replied, "10000 dollars for rape, 4% for local taxes and 2% entertainment tax."

```````````

Justin was caught red-handed misappropriating funds of the organization he worked for. So he ran to his lawyer who assured him by saying, "Relax Justin. You will never go to prison with all that wealth!"

The lawyer was right. Actually when Justin was put behind bars, he did not have a penny on him!

``````````

Mr. Jones says angrily to his secretary Mary, "You are late at work twice this week! What is the meaning of this?"

Mary replies, "Unfortunately it means three more work days until the weekend."

`````````````````

The Admin Head of a large organization called for the new employee to see him in his office.

Once the new employee was seated, the Admin Head asked, "What's your name?"

The new employee replied, "Jonathan."

The Admin Head snapped, "Listen, I have no idea what kind of a place you worked at before, but out here, I call everyone here by their surnames. If I start calling people by their first names, they would start taking things lightly. So, its Smith, Williams, Brown - that's it. Now that I have made myself clear, tell me your last name."

The new employee said, "My last name is Honey."

The Admin Head said, "Umm, Okay Jonathan, I will arrange for an orientation and then...."

`````````````

My boss, Mr. Somel was upset with me for coming late to work.

He shouted at me saying, "You should have been here at 9 am."

I replied, "Why? What happened at 9?"

````````````

The Tata group of companies decided to invite bids for their new Power generation plant. They called for bidders, and three companies decided to bid.

At the meeting, the Project Head of the Tata group asked the first bidder to quote his price.

The CEO of the first company who had done his MBA from Symbiosis said, "5 million. 3 mil for material and 2 mil for labor."

The Project Head then asked the CEO of the second company to present his bid.

The CEO of the second company who had done his MBA from NMIMS said, "10 million. 4 mil for material, 3 mil for labor, and another 3 for variable expenses."

The Project Head then asked the CEO of the third company to present his bid.

The CEO of the third company who was a product of IIM said, "15 million."

The project Head yelled, "15 million!!! What is the breakdown of costs?"

The CEO of the third company replied, "5 million for you. 5 for me. And 5 mil to get the fellow from Symbiosis to do the project."

```````````

Gabriel was a late-comer. He would always be late to work and had been reprimanded many times by his boss, Mr. Ambrose. The problem with Gabriel was that he just could not get himself to leave the bed in the morning. When he was late once again during the busy last week of the month, Mr. Ambrose gave him a final warning, "One more time you are late, and you are permanently out of here."

Gabriel went to see a doctor and narrated his predicament. The doctor gave him a few medicines and asked him to take it after meals.

Gabriel felt relaxed and got up early in the morning. He had a hearty breakfast and made it to his office before time.

The moment he saw Mr. Ambrose walk in, Gabriel said, "Well Mr. Ambrose, I will not give you a reason to get upset again. I feel fresh as a Daisy!"

"That's okay" said Mr. Ambrose, "But why weren't you here yesterday?"

````````````````

The Admin and HR head in my organization pulled a fast one on all employees during the lunch break on the last day of the financial year. He announced, "Everyone pay attention, we are going to pay a little game. Your increment will depend on whether you play this game successfully."

He continued, "I will announce the name of a fruit, and as soon as you hear it, you all have to move to the left side of the hall. If i announce the name of a colour, everyone has to move to the right side of the hall. Anyone who moves in the wrong direction misses his or her pay hike this year.Clear to everyone?"

Everybody nodded in the affirmative.

The Admin and HR head then announced, "Okay...ready? ORANGE!!"

Loud noises from the hall, "WHAT THE.....?!"

````````````````

When Antonio learnt about his wife, Mary's having an extra-marital affair, he availed the services of a private detective to get proof. The private detective followed Mary and gathered enough evidence about her affair with a banker.

Antonio was convinced that he could still save his marriage if he could get the banker out of the way.

Being a man of the 21st century, he decided to handle the matter in a professional and refined manner. So he sent a mail to Mary's banker boyfriend. It read:

Sir

It has been brought to my notice that you are dating my wife.
In order to settle this matter amicably and in a civilized manner, I propose that you come and visit me at my office at 5 pm on Thursday evening.

Rgds


The banker was amused to get a formal letter in such a case. So, he mailed the following reply:

Sir

I acknowledge receipt of your group mail. I hereby confirm my attendance at the seminar in your office lecture hall.

Rgds

Good morning everyboomie. wave2


My very best regards to you all on this beautiful Thursday morning. yes


This being my last day off for another 3 days, I'd best find a good way to spend it. razz


We got our thunderstorm last night at about 4:00am. I got up early and it was cloudy and wet, which turned to sunny and windy soon after. woot


I decided to run up to a location North of here that I've been waiting to go look for points. Since he finally plowed the field, and we got some rain, it was a good time to check it out. It's next to the Blue river, and they have found points there before they say, but I found nothing. duh


I was back home before 12:00, got on my lawn mower, and mowed the yard, and then came in and fixed my lunch. woot


After a long nap, I did some exercising.


No movie. blush


Maybe tomorrow............I mean today. think


Have a happy day everyone.

Thumping Good Thursday ya'll puppy

It's hot and muggy in AL...I can just say "Ditto" for the next 4 or 5 months and save myself some typing strokes. I'm planning a quiet "me" day today I think. Hubby is going on a business trip today, back tomorrow night.

Joe, sorry you didn't find any points but hope you had fun looking. Going to the movies or watching one from home? Do you remember when watching a movie from home was a new and exciting thing?

Ana, stay safe.

Venus, hope the day is good.

Gerry, I'm glomming onto the coffee this morning. Thanks.

Connie, heading for the hash browns. Yum!

Ah the joys of neighbors who also are ex students of mine who decided to get a 'position' selling vacuum cleaners. Yeah. Fun. The gal has had a very difficult life with a very disfunctional family, pregnant at 15, in and out of 'jails' of various kinds, problems with substance abuse here and there, lost her 3 kids (permanently) although she sees the ones over 18 now, then her brother killed himself right in front of everyone. Loads of troubles at that place (just 2 houses away from me).

Anyway, I've always had a soft spot for her since she was my student in the pregnant teen program and so we keep in touch and she tells me all her woes. Now she's working for a place that sells Rainbow vacuums. Didn't present anything about 'selling' but the sales pitch when she appeared at my door led me to suspect something.

'Want to enter a raffle for a FREE air cleaner'. Just have to answer a few questions about air quality and then maybe you will win and if you win I get one too!'

OK I figured I'd help her out since it was her first week on the job. In less than 3 hours, I had WON the raffle. Yeah, I figured that would happen. Then she needed to set up an appointment to show me the 'bigger unit'. I did some internet searching and found that indeed, they were a vacuum selling organization, BUT contrary to the usual 'scams', this one was legit. Very good reviews on the product even though the starting sales price was (are you sitting down?), TWO thousand dollars. Yep, that much and then with all the attachments and extra offers, much more. BUT it's not a scam, not a rip-off, just door to door sales of a very good product from a company which has been in business since 1932.

So I told her, I'm not buying a vacuum, can't afford anything, but that I'd be happy to let her 'practice' her demonstration on me and then fill out her 'report card' so that she gets a good review. She's got personality, is very good at making nicey nice and I'm going to sit through the probably an hour demo and maybe get my living room rug cleaned in the process.

Not to mention the FREE water/air cleaner/sound and light machine that I will get. This should be fun. She deserves a chance. She's had a very hard life and hopefully something will go better for her soon. I'm going to coach her. Can't wait for my FREE bonus thingy that I WON so easily. Ha. Clever ploy, but I'm much more clever.

I'll letcha know when my $3000. vacuum arrives. rotfl haha


WARNING! This person is extremely blonde...please type SLOWLY.
