Where are your Glasses?
email from Kamalini Kanapathippillai
-
Yesterday my daughter e-mailed me again, asking why I didn't do something useful with my time. “Like sitting around the pool and drinking wine is not a good thing …”, I said. Talking about my "doing-something-useful" seems to be her favourite topic of conversation. She was "only thinking of me" she said and suggested I go down to the Senior Centre and hang out with the guys. I did this and when I got home last night, I decided to play a prank on her. I e-mailed her and told her that I had joined a Parachute Club. She replied, "Are you nuts? You are 73 years old and now you're going to start jumping out of airplanes?" I told her that I even got a Membership Card and e-mailed a copy to her. She immediately telephoned me, "Good grief, where are your glasses! This is a Membership to a Prostitute Club, not a Parachute Club." "Oh man, I'm in trouble again; I really don't know what to do ... I signed up for five jumps a week!!" The line went quiet and her friend picked up the phone and said that my daughter had fainted. Life as a Senior Citizen is not getting any easier, but sometimes it can be fun. |
The dangers of silence
email from Dennis Aloysius
An indian couple remains silent in bed.
Wife thinks : Why is he not talking to me?
Is he thinking of another woman?
Is he seeing someone?
Don’t I appeal to him anymore?
Are wrinkles showing on my face?
Is he trying to dump me?
Have I put on weight at the wrong places?
Does my make up repel him these days?
Is he upset with my nagging?
Why??? Why ?? Why ??
??
??

and the husband is thinking
"Oh why the hell did Dhoni send in Yuvaraj to bat ???

The 11th husband
A young man married a beautiful woman who had previously divorced 10
husbands. On their wedding night, she told her new husband to
"Please be gentle; I'm still a Virgin".
"What?" said the puzzled groom. "How can that be if you've been married ten times?"
"Well, husband #1 was a Sales Representative; he kept telling me how great it was going to be.
"Husband # 2 was in Software Services; he was never really sure how it was supposed to function; but he said he'd look into it and get back with me.
"Husband # 3 was from Field Services; he said that everything checked out diagnostically but he just couldn't get the system up.
"Husband # 4 was in Telemarketing; even though he knew he had the order, he didn't know when he would be able to deliver.
"Husband # 5 was an Engineer, he understood the basic process but he wanted three years to research, implement, and design a new state of the-art method.
"Husband #6 was from Administration; he thought he knew how but he wasn't sure whether it was his job or not.
"Husband # 7 was in Marketing; although he had a product, he was never sure how to position it...
"Husband # 8 was a Psychiatrist; all he did was talk about it.
"Husband # 9 was a Gynecologist; all he did was look at it.
"Husband # 10 was a Stamp Collector; all he ever did was lick it..... God I miss him.
" But now that I've married you, I'm so excited".
"What?" said the puzzled groom. "How can that be if you've been married ten times?"
"Well, husband #1 was a Sales Representative; he kept telling me how great it was going to be.

"Wonderful", said the husband, "but why?
"You're with the
"GOVERNMENT"
This
time I
KNOW I'M gonna get screwed."
" First the Apple"....When will WE ever learn?
A woman runs a red traffic light and crashes into a man's car. Both of their cars are demolished, but amazingly, neither of them is hurt.After they crawl out of their cars, the woman says; "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 replies, "I agree with you completely. This must be a sign from God!"The woman continues, "And look at this, here's another miracle. My car is completely demolished, but my bottle of wine didn't break. Surely God wants us to drink this wine and celebrate our good fortune." She then 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?"The woman replies, "Nah. I think I'll just wait for the police."Adam ate the apple, too.Men will never learn...

Sri Lanka issues stamps honouring Ho Chi Minh (Vietnam News)
Sri Lanka issues stamps honouring Ho Chi Minh http://vietnamnews.vn/life- The stamp collection featuring Ho Chi Minh has seven designs. – Photo courtesy of the Vietnamese embassy in Sri LankaSRI LANKA (Biz Hub) — Sri Lanka has issued about 500,000 new stamps with seven designs featuring former President Ho Chi Minh to celebrate his 102th birthday on May 19. The collection has been designed by Sri Lankan artist Kumudu Tharaka who has depicted Ho Chi Minh with vivid and bright colours. All the stamps feature Minh's portrait and a red flag with a yellow star. Minh had visited Sri Lanka several times during his revolutionary life, according to Vietnamese Ambassador to Sri Lanka Ton Sinh Thanh. Minh is one of few international political figures to feature on Sri Lankan stamps. "We believe that the issuance of the Ho Chi Minh stamps would be another step to promote bilateral cooperation, and people-to-people and business interaction between our two countries," said Thanh. The ambassador said the first agreement signed with Sri Lanka after the country's re-unification in 1975 was a postal deal. — VNS Courtesy: Vietnam News Vesak Day celebrations begin in Ninh Binh http://vietnamnews.vn/life- |
