That stiff Upper Lip

email from Asoka Dissanayake

After some time into the journey on a train from London to Manchester , an Australian man unable to bear the silence any longer, takes the unprovoked initiative of conversation by introducing himself to his fellow travellers, and soon starts berating the Englishman sitting across from him in the compartment.

"You English are so stuffy. You set yourselves apart with your self-belief of superiority. You pronounce yourself above the rest of us with your stiff upper lip. Look at me...I'm Australian! I have Italian blood, Greek blood, a little Irish blood, even some Aborigine blood, ......and I'm proud of it. What do you say to that ?"

The Englishman replied, "Awfully sporting of your mother, old chap!"

and the upper lip remained very stiff..!!

Specialists.

email from Lesley Sirimanne

A dentist, doing his first extraction on a patient, was understandably nervous. When he got the molar out, his hand shook, he lost his grip on the instrument, and the tooth dropped down into the patient's throat.  Sorry, said the doctor. You're outside my specialty now. You should see a laryngologist. By the time the unfortunate victim got to the laryngologist, the tooth had worked it's way much further down. The laryngologist examined the man. Sorry, he said You're outside my specialty now. You should see a gastroenterologist. The gastroenterologist X-rayed the patient. Sorry, said the doctor, the tooth has traveled into your lower intestines. You should see an enterologist. The enterologist took some X rays. Sorry, the tooth isn't there. It must have gone down farther. You should see a proctologist. Our patient is now on the proctologist's examining table, in the proper elbow-knee position. The doctor has inserted a proctoscope and is looking through it. Good heavens, man ! You've got a tooth up there ! You should see a dentist Sex and prostate cancer http://www.livescience.com/48858-link-between-sex-and-prostate-cancer.html Benefits of intermittent fasting http://www.livescience.com/48888-intermittent-fasting-benefits-weight-loss.html The old Saiviite tradition of a fast every month.
