Is Your Wife Smart Enough?

Image
A man wrote to his wife…   Dear Sweetheart:   I can't send my salary this month, so I am sending 100 kisses. You are my sweetheart.   Your husband Joe   : : : : : :   His wife replied back after some days to her husband:   Dearest sweetheart,   Thanks for your 100 kisses, I am sending the expenses details.   1. The Milk man agreed on 2 kisses for one month's milk. 2. The electricity man only agreed after 7 kisses. 3. Your house owner is coming every day and taking two or three kisses instead of the rent. 4. Supermarket owner did not accept kisses only, so I have given him some other items… 5. Other expenses 40 kisses.   Please don't worry for me, I have a remaining balance of 35 kisses and I hope I can complete the month using this balance.   Shall I plan same way for next months? Please advise!!!   Your Sweetheart, Amanda

Space Mission

Something cheerful to lighten up the day…     ASTRONAUTS   American Spaceman is called Astronaut   Russian Spaceman is called Cosmonaut   Chinese Spaceman is called Taikonaut   Malaysian Spaceman? Can-or-naut!   ---   Dr. M was thinking about sending somebody into space. Three potential can-or-nauts were called for an interview - one Indian, one Malay and one Chinese.   Dr. M interviews the Indian first: "So, Muthu, this is a dangerous mission. How much do you think you should be paid?"   Muthu replied: "One million ringgit." "Why so much?" asks Dr. M. "Very dangerous mission, Datuk. Maybe no come back!" replied Muthu.   "That's understandable," says Dr. M. "Thank you...please ask the Malay guy to come in."   So the Malay walks in, and is asked the same question.   "Alamak!......

Logic behind the logos

I am not sure how many of you have noticed a hidden symbol in the Federal Express logo. Yeah, I am talking about the 'arrow' that you can see between the E and the x in this logo. The arrow was introduced to underscore speed and precision, which are part of the positioning of the company. -o0o- The SUN Microsystems logo is a wonderful example of symmetry and order. It was a brilliant observation that the letters u and n while arranged adjacent to each other look a lot like the letter S in a perpendicular direction. Spectacular! -o0o- The above logo is for an editing studio. I like the way the logo attempts to convey what they do. -o0o- The above are two magazines from the Reader's Digest stable. Again, the attempt to communicate what it is about quite figuratively through the logo catches my attention. -o0o- I liked this logo of a hair stylist for the cheeky humour it brings to the (dressing) table. -o0o- This was a logo created for a puzzle game...

Donkey Logic

From Sunburst , June 2001 issues; a Singapore Technologies publication   Donkey Logic   One day , a farmer’s donkey fell into a well. For hours , the animal cried piteously as the farmer tried to figure out what to do.   Looking at the old donkey , the farmer decided he did not want to go through all that trouble getting it up.  Furthermore , the dilapidated well which he had no further use needed to be covered up. So he invited his neighbours over to help him , and they started to fill the well with dirt.   Realizing the predicament , the donkey began to whine. However , it soon quieted down. Puzzled by the sudden silence , the farmer looked and the well and was astonished by what he saw.   With each shovel of dirt that hit its back , the donkey would shake the dirt off and take a step up. And as the dirt piled up , the donkey slowly but steadily ascended the well , step by step , bit by ...

The Value of Life

From Sunburst , November 2001 issue; a Singapore Technologies publication     “Never let yesterday’s disappointments overshadow tomorrow’s dreams.”     A well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 bill. In a room of 200 , he asked , “Who would like to have this $20 bill?”   Hands started going up.   He said , “I’m going to give this $20 bill to one of you , but first , let me do this.” He proceeded to crumple the dollar bill up.   The hands remained in the air.   “Well , ” he continued. “What if I do this?” and he dropped the note onto the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up , now all crumpled and dirty. “Now who still wants it?”   Still the hands remained in the air.   “My friends , you have all learnt a very val...
