Of Pearls and Curses: November 2007

Dinner tonight?

This morning, our slightly more mature but very pretty FM came up to parrot and asked, "Dinner tonight?"

For a split second parrot was like, "Huh? What about your Norwegian boyfriend?" But parrot of course immediately realised she was referring to the farewell meal for another colleague, despite his brain being only half awake owing to the early hours.

But knowing parrot, he has to give some cheeky reply, and as his brain was only half awake, his face remained in "huh?" state for another few seconds.

Finally he replied with his cheeky smile, "You asking me for a date?"

Don't you just love teasing mature & pretty finance professionals? =)

(*disgusted look* er ... ya ... and who'd want to date you?)

Ok, teabreak's over. Back on your heads.

This joke my JC accounting lecturer use to tell us ...

A certain man went to hell . The person-in-charge said, "Congratulations! You are our 100,000,000,000 new soul and as a prize, you, get to decide where, you stay!" (Fanfare and etc) And so the person-in-charge start showing the guy around the place.

In the first room, or rather cavern, they visited, there were scenes of carnage as the people there are being cut to pieces. Horrified, the guys hurriedly left the cavern. In the second cavern, there were many huge cauldrons of burning oil and the people there were screaming in agony as they burn in the cauldrons. Fighting back his nausea, the man again hurried from the cavern.

In the third cavern, he saw a peculiar scene. The floor of the cavern was covered in a foot deep of putrid, evil-smelling shit. All around the cavern, people were sitting at tables sipping coffee and tea, looking as carefree as can be. The guy thought to himself, "Hey, this seems a nice enough place, given the circumstances. Yes there may be a foot deep worth of shit on the ground, but I get to drink coffee and do nothing. The only problem is the smell but I can get use to that and this sure beats the first two places." So he promptly told the person-in-charge that he choose to stay in the third cavern.

And in he went, waded through a foot deep worth of shit, seated himself comfortably and began sipping his coffee. Just as he was getting acquainted with his table-mates, the PA system announced, "Ok, teabreak's over. Back on your heads!"
