Good guy has all the luck

A true story...good guy has all the luck!

Jack decided to go skiing with his buddy, Bob.  So they loaded up Jack's minivan and headed north.

After driving for a few hours, they got caught in a terrible  blizzard.  So they pulled into a nearby farm and asked the attractive lady who answered the door if they could spend the night.

'I realize it's terrible weather out there and I have this huge house all to myself, but I'm recently widowed,' she explained. 'I'm afraid the neighbors will talk if I let you stay in my  house.'

'Don't worry,' Jack said. 'We'll be happy to sleep in the barn.  And if the weather breaks, we'll be gone at first light.' The lady agreed, and the two men found their way to the barn and settled in for the night.

Come morning, the weather had cleared, and they got on their way.  They enjoyed a great weekend of skiing.

But about nine months later, Jack got an unexpected letter from an attorney.  It took him a few minutes to figure it out, but he finally determined that it was from the attorney of that attractive widow he had met on the ski weekend.

He dropped in on his friend Bob and asked, "Bob, do youremember that good-looking widow from the farm we stayed at on our ski holiday up north about 9 months ago?"

"Yes, I do," said Bob.

"Did you, er, happen to get up in the middle of the night, go up to the house and pay her a  visit?"

"Well, um,  yes!," Bob said, a little embarrassed about being found out, 'I have to admit that I did."

"And did you happen to give her my name instead of telling her your name?"

Bob's face  turned beet red and he said, "Yeah, look, I'm sorry, buddy.  I'm afraid I did.' 'Why do you ask?"

"She just died and left me everything."

Dr Smith and Dr Jones

By Melvin

Best friends - Dr Smith and Dr Jones graduated from medical school at the same time and decided that, in spite of two different specialties, they would open a practice together to share office space and personnel.

 

Dr. Smith was the psychiatrist and Dr. Jones was the proctologist;

A psychiatrist is a physician who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders

A proctologist is a doctor who specializes in problems of the colon, rectum, and anus.

They put up a sign reading:

"Dr. Smith and Dr. Jones:
"Hysterias and Posteriors".
The town council was livid and insisted they change it.

 

So, the docs changed it to read:
"Schizoids and Hemorrhoids".
This was also not acceptable, so they again changed the sign:

 

"Catatonics and High Colonics" - No go.

Next, they tried "Manic Depressives and Anal Retentives" - thumbs down again..

 

Then came "Minds and Behinds" - still no good.

Another attempt resulted in "Lost Souls and Butt Holes" - unacceptable again!

So they tried "Analysis and Anal Cysts" - not a chance.

"Nuts and Butts" - no way. "Freaks and Cheeks" - still no good.

 

"Loons and Moons" - forget it.

Almost at their wit's end, the docs finally came up with:

 

"Dr. Smith and Dr. Jones - Specializing in Odds and Ends".

Everyone loved it !!!

What is Financial Bail-out

By ?????

What is a Financial Bailout ? It is a slow day in a damp little Irish town. The rain is beating down harshly, and all the streets are deserted. Times are tough, everybody is in debt and everybody lives on credit.


On this particular day a rich German tourist is driving through the town, stops at the local hotel and lays a €100 note on the desk, telling the hotel owner he wants to inspect the rooms upstairs in order to pick one to spend the night.


The owner gives him some room-keys and, as soon as the visitor has walked upstairs, the hotelier grabs the €100 note and runs next door to pay his debt to the butcher.
...
The butcher takes the €100 note and rushes down the street to repay his debt to the pig farmer. The pig farmer takes the €100 note and heads off to pay his bill at the supplier of animal feed and fuel.

The guy at the Farmers' Co-op takes the €100 note and runs to pay his drinks bill at the friendly neighbourhood pub. The pub owner slips the money along to the local prostitute drinking at the bar - who, in spite of facing hard times, has always gladly offered him her ¡®services¡¯ on credit.

The hooker then rushes over to the hotel and pays off her room bill to the hotel owner with the €100 note.

The hotel proprietor quietly replaces the €100 note back on the counter, so that the rich traveller will not suspect anything.

At that moment the traveller comes down the stairs, states that none of the rooms are satisfactory, picks up the €100 note, pockets it and leaves town.

No one has produced anything. No one has earned anything. However, the whole town is now out of debt and looking to the future with a lot more optimism !!!

And that, dear ladies and gentlemen, is how a basic financial bailout package works !

Good blog to keep us updated

Well, it is interesting to note that Molly has put in quite an effort to create this blog.

Singapore Today

By Diana Han

Nick : Looking at the class photo,  compared to the modern polys of today, it look like we were studying in some rural village classroom.....
Diana: This is how far we've come by, at a span of mere 3 decades.

A time with no MRT in sight, watching movie at the Princess Theatre.., let alone the Marina Barrage, Gardens By the Bay of today.

We're one of the privileged batches to have witnessed the tremendous growth our island had made, unparellel to most other parts of the world.

Yet challenges remained as to how these dynamism can continue to flourish.

For now, let us cheer! We all have a part to play in what Singapore is today.

Good health, good luck to everybody.
