Bill Gates interview - email from jksw

Subject: Bill Gates looking to fill a vacancy

 One of my favourites...

Bill Gates organized an enormous session to recruit a new Chairman for Microsoft Europe. 5000 candidates assembled in a large room. One candidate was Sompala Pathirana a Sinhalese living in USA . Bill Gates thanked all the candidates for coming and asking those who do not know JAVA programming to leave. 2000 people leave the room. Soma says to himself, 'I do not know JAVA but I have nothing to lose if I stay. I'll give it a try' . Bill Gates asked the candidates who never had experience of managing more than 100 people to leave. 2000 people leave the room. Soma says to himself ' I never managed anybody by myself but I have nothing to lose if I stay. What can happen to me?' So he stays. Then Bill Gates asked candidates who do not have management diplomas to leave. 500 people leave the room. Soma says to himself, 'I left school at 15 but what have I got to lose?' So he stays in the room. Lastly, Bill Gates asked the candidates who do not speak Serbo - Croat to leave. 498 people leave the room. Soma says to himself, ' I do not speak one word of Serbo - Croat but what do I have to lose?' So he stays and finds himself with one other candidate. Everyone else has gone. Bill Gates joined them and said 'Apparently you are the only two candidates who have all the required qualifications & experience I am looking for and speak Serbo - Croat, so I'd now like to hear you have a conversation together in that language.' and...... calmly, Soma turns to the other candidate and says ` Kohomada Machang? The other candidate answers ' Ammata siri .......... umbath Lankavenda?'

Kos chips - email jksw

 Kos chips after frying. Slice mature kos madulu 1cm thick. No
additions. Deep fry in fresh coconut oil just as potato-French fries.  For a
few minutes just as for chips.

 After frying, may add salt, pepper/chillie powder to taste.
Eat. As tasty or better than French fries.
Lion Lager goes swell with it.

Can make pota'chips companies go bankrupt.
Secret.
Lastly wipe mouth with kos poththa- use the prickly surface.
jksw

P.S. Variation that I have not tried-frying the ripe madulu-waraka. Jaffna
people could  try this out.

Art - Adolf Hitler - email from Lakshman Karalliedde

 He was probably rejected because he came from a poor family and was not the traditional blonde and blue eyed person of his era.

 

A young man's dream to be an artist was crushed when his application to enter the fine arts academy was rejected .... His crushed dream turned into a tragic nightmare for the world........ He painted these pictures.   The person who painted these pictures wanted to attend the Viennese academy of  Fine arts and become famous as an artist. If he had been accepted by the academy, the world’s history could have been different.  His name was Adolph Hitler.

How to save papayas falling from the tree... Think...  Think... Think..  Come on! Keep thinking ... You think too hard... Ohhh my God...

A poem by Rudyard Kipling - Ideal for Medical students

I keep six honest serving men

(They taught me all I knew)

Their names are What and Why and When

And How and Where and Who.

I send them over land and sea,

I send them East and West;

But after they have worked for me,

I give them all a rest.

I let them rest from nine till five,

For I am busy then,

As well as Breakfast, Lunch and Tea,

For they are hungry men:

But different folk have different views;

I know a person small,

 She keeps ten million serving men,

Who got no rest at all!

She sends 'em abroad on her own affairs,

From the second she opens her eyes - 

One million Hows, two million Wheres,

And seven million Whys!,

1959 entrants to the Colombo Medical Faculty, Reunion in Sri Lanka.

Can you identify them?
