Moral of the Story

Filed under: blinking eye

A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up
her shower, when the doorbell rings. The wife quickly wraps herself
in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands
Bob, the next-door neighbour. Before she says a word, Bob says, “I’ll
give you $800 to drop that towel.” After thinking for a moment, the
woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob. After a few
seconds, Bob hands her $800 and leaves. The woman wraps back up in the
towel and goes back upstairs. When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks, “Who was that?”
“It was Bob the next door neighbour,” she replies.
“Great!” the husband says, “did he say anything about the $800 he owes
me?”

Moral of the story:
If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk
with your shareholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent
avoidable exposure

Lesson 2:

A priest offered a Nun a lift. She got in and crossed her
legs, forcing her gown to reveal a leg. The priest nearly had an
accident. After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her
leg. The nun said, “Father, remember Psalm 129?” The priest removed his
hand.
But, changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again. The nun
once again said, “Father, remember Psalm 129?” The priest apologized
“Sorry sister but the flesh is weak.” Arriving at the convent, the
Nun went on her way. On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to
look up Psalm 129. It said, “Go forth and seek, further up, you will
find glory.”

Moral of the story:
If you are not well informed in your job, you might miss a great
opportunity

Lesson 3:

A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking
to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it and a
Genie comes >out. The Genie says, “I’ll give each of you just one wish.”
“Me first! Me first!” says the admin clerk. “I want to be in the Bahamas,
driving a speedboat, without a care in the world.” Puff! She’s gone. “Me
next! Me next!” says the sales rep. “I want to be in Hawaii, relaxing on
the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas
and the love of my life.” Puff! He’s gone. “OK, you’re up,” the
Genie says to the manager. The manager says, “I want those two back
in the office after lunch.”

Moral of the story:
Always let your boss have the first say

Lesson 4

An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing. A small
rabbit saw the eagle and asked him, “Can I also sit like you and do
nothing?” The eagle answered: “Sure, why not.” So, the rabbit sat on
the ground below the eagle and rested. All of a sudden, a fox appeared,
jumped on the rabbit and ate it.

Moral of the story:
To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very
high up

Lesson 5

A turkey was chatting with a bull. “I would love to be able to get
to the top of that tree,” sighed the turkey, “but I haven’t got the
energy.” “Well, why don’t you nibble on some of my droppings?”
replied the bull. They’re packed with nutrients.” The turkey pecked at a
lump of dung, and found it actually gave him enough strength to reach
the lowest branch of the tree. The next day, after eating some more
dung, he reached the second branch. Finally after a fourth night, the
turkey was proudly perched at the top of the tree.
He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot him out of
the tree.

Moral of the story:
BullSh*t might get you to the top, but it won’t keep you there

Lesson 6

A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold the
bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field. While he was
lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him. As the
frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how
warm he was. The dung was actually thawing him out! He lay there all
warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy. A passing cat heard the
bird singing and came to investigate… Following the sound, the cat discovered the
bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him.

Moral of the story:
(1) Not everyone who sh!ts on you is your enemy
(2) Not everyone who gets you out of sh!t is your friend
(3) And when you’re in deep sh!t, it’s best to keep your mouth
shut!

Application Letter

Filed under: blinking eye

this is a writing exercise written by a friend. read on, very funny.

LETTER OF APPLICATION

September 21, 2006

The Department Head

The Surgery Department

St. Luke’s Medical Center

279 E. Rodriguez Sr. Blvd. Quezon City 1102 Philippines

Dear Sir:

I am aware that there is a shortage of doctors in our country so please allow me to do my patriotic duty to help alleviate this alarming problem besetting the medical community. My name is Orven Enoveso but you can call me Doc for short. I would like to apply for a position in your department as resident plastic surgeon.

I have attached my resume and list of accomplishments with this letter for you to study. At first glance, I am sure you will quickly conclude that I am nowhere near qualified for the job having no formal medical background. However, I urge you to seriously reconsider this application based on the following points:

1. Even with my limited medical schooling, I fully understand that plastic surgery does not involve using Tupperware products. In fact, I am quite familiar with the fact that the main tools employed are a felt-tipped pen to mark where the cuts will be made, scalpels for making incisions, not box cutters, mind you, and curved needles to stitch up whatever was cut open.

2. I am absolutely not homophobic. Sorry, I meant hemophobic, but I’m sure political correctness is a plus in the medical industry also, right?

3. I am very organized and will never make the mistake of leaving anything inside a patient’s opened up chest.

4. I am a voracious reader and I devour content like a dry sponge. I enjoy reading medical encyclopedias and have even on occasion read the book directory of medicines that my parents keep in their first aid kit. I have nearly memorized the generic names of all the entries plus their corresponding indications, safe dosages, etc.

5. To supplement my readings, I watch every show on cable TV that involves medicine and surgery and I even take notes. My regular and strict regimen includes “Reality TV”, “Medical Detectives”, “House”, ‘Grey’s Anatomy’, and, of course “Nip / Tuck”. I even review the old episodes of “Doogie Houser M.D.” to familiarize myself with early medical practices.

6. I am a team player; as such I am sure I will be able to get along well with your medical staff especially the nurses.

7. My sense of detail is acute. This I can prove to you because I have always consistently been able to identify surgical work done on most Hollywood celebrities even by just examining magazine photos.

8. I did well in Biology class in high school where we were asked to dissect frogs.

9. I have good bearing and I look good wearing a white coat.

10. Lastly, as mentioned in my resume, my main educational background is in Fine Arts and as you can see in my photocopied Transcript of Records, my grades in “Anatomy” and “Life Drawing” are outstanding. Obviously, I have a superb sense of aesthetics and keen understanding of the classic human form, both male and female, which I am supremely confident, will prove an invaluable asset in my practice, if given the opportunity.

After discussing the above points, I trust you will treat this application with the same seriousness as when you study a potential tumor. If you feel unsure about my qualifications, I enjoin you to consult with another doctor and get a second opinion.

I am available for an interview anytime and will even submit myself to a practical exam to prove what I can accomplish with my steady and dexterous hands.

Thank you very much and I look forward to hearing from you.

Respectfully yours,

Orven Enoveso

ROBIN HOOD

Filed under: blinking eye

If there’s one guy who taught us to be lazy, its going to be ROBIN HOOD. Robin Hood steals from the rich and gives it to the poor, right?

But have you ever thought that these rich people may have been working all their life so that they can have this amount of wealth on them? And that they work their butt off and then this Robin Hood guy just took their wealth simply without any thought of the sweat, blood and tears that they put into obtaining this riches. We must not be mislead into the premise that if you’re rich, you must have gotten it so easy.Its usually that they work 5x more than ordinary wage earners and work 10x more in maintening this wealth.

Robin Hood must be the Grandfather of DOLE-OUTS. He gave away to so many people without telling people that you should work for your own up keep too. This breeds reliance and lazyness. They will just wait for share of the loot, not worrying about anything as they have dole-outs.

Sometimes, i wonder if the Prince of thieves still lingers in our midst. When will learn to earn our keep?

Fountainhed by Ayn Rand: How not to do a book review

Filed under: blinking eye

Howard Roark, the book’s central character believes that man should worhip the greatness of mankind and man should work for his own satisfaction. he doesnt believe that man should do a collective work for the society and anyone who thrives on the work of others are parasites and second handers. he is the hero of ayn rand’s masterpiece. his belief is what ayn rand’s follower called as OBJECTIVISM.

c ayn rand d i usa ka aethist, russian emigre niadtong uso pa ang communism sa europe ug sa russia. wala cya ganahi sa mga communista ug ni-uyon cya sa pagtu-o sa capitalista, grabe ni cya ka anti-communist ug dinhi niya nakuha ang ubang binhi sa iyahang tinu-ohan nga Objectivism but it is being adopted now-adays as the LIBERTARIAN movement.

samtang nagbasa ko aning libroha, halo-halo ako gibati. naay mga pulong nga c ms. ayn rand nga daw pwerteng ka tinuod ug dali ra kaayo ko nakatu-o pero naa pud siyay mga asoy nga lisud katuhu-an ug magduha-duha ka sa imong hunahuna.

ang estorya mao ni: Howard Roark,

usa

ka loner ug architect nga mu-design ug buildings ug balay accdg sa iyang gusto pero dili cya gusto nga hilabtan iyang mga design sa bo-ut mag-patukod kaniya. Pero

usa

cya ka genius when it comes to designing in matters of air ventilation, spaces, ………ah ….ah ….. basta gud genius jud kuno ni cya nga architect. Libog ug lisud sabton ang dagan sa iyang utok kay before ka mag-padesign niya mupirma ka ug contrata nga dili ka manghilabut sa iyang mga gipang-design. Mao nga wa kaayo cyay mga clients, accdg to him, like minded clients will come and seek him.

Si Peter Keating, another architect character who in the mainstream atong ma-consider nga everybody’s man. Kung unsay gusto sa kliyente, na hala , larga. Iyang mga designs walay originality in comparison to Howard Roark, puro mga spin-off sa Roman and Renaissance designs. Tanang tao nagtu-o nga c Peter Keating maoy pinaka-bright ug pinaka-maayo nga architect sa tibouk USA, pero wala sila kahibalo nga sa tanan niyang mga award winning designs, si Howard ang nag han-ay ug nag-porma sa internal and structural lay out. Kutob ra intawn cya sa design sa gawas. Unsa may importante? ang gawas o ang sulod? Peter hates Howard so much because of his inferiority and shame in accepting that their were lots of times that Howard save his ass. Si Dodong Howard pud, dili pud kabalibad ni Peter kung mangayo ug tabang, kay for him its an amusement to see a second hander more rather than his desire to help out. (Praning jud!)

Of course, naa jud tay heroine. C Dominique Francon,

usa

ka newspaper high society columnist nga naay pagka-maldita, michivous ug hait nga manuwat. Sa wala pa sila nagkaila ni dodong howard, duna nay nahitabo nila, gi-rape ni dodong c inday pero c inday wala mupalag kay diha ra kuno siya nakatagamtam ug tumang kalipay sa

usa

ka tao nga walay expectations kaniya isip

usa

ka lover. From that moment, she kept on looking for the man who violated her but not to prosecute him but to offer herself (di a pay laing praning). Until such time nga nakit-an jud niya c dodong but instead of plunging herself to her man, iya kining gi-ridicule, gi-daut, gi-tamay ug gibi-ay biay sa iyang column to punish herself. but their illicit relationship flourished but not sa atong usual nga description. drecho cla chukchak nga way sultihanay then exit dayon, its more of their body desire but it reaches to a point nga their souls meet in this arrangement. no need for words ilang gugma. to punished herself more nagkig-minyo atong inday ni Peter Keating instead of dodong Howard bisag dili niya gusto basta lang nga masakitan siya (way sama sa ka praning!).

Si Elseworth Toohey,

usa

ka cultural comentarista/impressario sa newspaper nga nag-tuo nga ang tao nagkinahanglan nga magbuhat ug maayong butang to improved society. siya maoy anti-thesis ni howard ug sa atong author. daghan kaayo ni siyang gidala nga foundations, organizations and groups to help alleviate mankind kuno. Amigo ni cya ni Peter. Si Else gihimo ni ms rand ug symbol sa mga zealots, opportunists and leeches in society. ti amonang, naa cyay amigo nga gusto niya pahatagon ug building for the displaced children but the friend wanted to be a temple for himself. Else recommend dodong howard. C dodong pud intawn, nagbuhat ug temple to represent the greatness of mankind with a naked sculpture of dominique as a centerpiece but the friend did not like the temple, he expected something like a basilica but howard built him a one story building with lots of spaces and windows to represent the ideals of man. Kahibalo na gud c Else sa mga style ni howard, gisakyan dayon niya ang issue of the ugliness of the temple. Gi-batikos pag ayo niya c howard ug ang iyahang friend. ang nahitabo, the fren gave the building to Else to do whatever he so wishes with it. Ang timamak, gipabuhat dayon niya sa iyahang home for the displaced children. Very sly person!

Gail Wynand, owns the newspaper that ELSE and Domique work. pwerteng pagka-yellow journalism kani iyahang newspaper, it publishes the most scandalous and the most screaming headlines. he’s doing it to sway public opinion mostly to sway to his own opinion. during the depression, he was considered as the richest man and the most womanizer. it also in this period that Peter Keating ’s firm was not doing well. Kay kuno amigo cla ni Else, gtabanga niya si peter nga makakuha sa Stonebridge housing project which gail own in exchange for his wife Dominique. Gail got Dominique to marry him and divorce Peter. But this was with inday’s whole consent because as he got to know GAIL, she found out that GAil and Howard represented to her the same thing, they both believe in the greatness of mankind and what his newspaper represents is not true of the owner. Now, gail wanted to build a house for dominique, guess who he hired, c dodong howard, pero wala kabalo c inday. he just saw some buildings ni dodong and he liked all of them, so he hired dodong. But c dodong ug gail nagkabarkada man hinuuon, as in nagka close jud cla pag ayo. Mag-swimming cla rang duha, mag-chika NGA cla rang duha (BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN!!) Gail doesnt know of inday and dodong’s past. Kebs ra pud c inday kay kahibalo man cya nga soul brothers c Gail ug Howard.

Then, nagpatabang c Peter ni Howard ug design sa usa ka low cost housing own by the government which is under the influenced of ELSe ang approval. howard saw it as his ultimate opportunity to create, wherein he proves in the greatness and ingenuity of man. he made peter promise not to tell anyone that he designed the building and that there should be no change in the building design after. pero wala man masunod ni peter ang ilang gisabutan, gipang usab man sa mga govt bureaucrats, gi-pun-an ug gym diri, swimming pool didto. pwerteng suko-a ni Howard, iya lang gung gipabuto ang tibuok building den nagpabilin cya sa bombsite after. pwes, gidakop dayon cya ug gi-kasohan. ang newspaper ni gail, grabe ug laban ni Howard, bisag ang ubang newspaper gibatikos pag ayo c howard, laban gihapon to the max c gail. hangtud nga nag =strike ang newspaper workers, strike pud ang advertisers ni gail much to the insistense and silent campaigning of ELSE. the strike was about the issue on why the BANNER (ang newspaper) would insist on the innocence of howard when all the evidence suggested otherwise. it was not about any legitimate cause but if you consider rallying to the underdogs as a worthy cause basig legitimate ang cause. lugi na kaayo ci gail. howard always insisted nga dili cya pa-laban ni gail pero c gail padayon jud. then gi-pugos na jud c Gail sa iyahang board of directors to desist from siding with howard, ni give in c gail, not because he doesnt believe in howard but rather in the futility of the excercise. Bawos pud dayon c Dominique, nag buhat pud cya ug iyahang scandal, niapas ni cya ni howard ug nag pareport-report sa pulis nga nawala iyang bracelet ug kung pwede magdala ug media ang police para naay coverage. Ang ok-ok nagpa-picture man hinuon nga nag- nighty gown sa kwarto ni howard. Gidakop dayon mga newspaper nga ang asawa ni Gail, gi-kabit ni Howard. Is this the way to treat friend who sided with you through hell and back? Mao ni ila gi-singal nila pag- ayo. C inday ug dodong nag-dayon na jud. After that wala na jud mag hinabi-ay c Gail ug Howard. Pero, sa dihang magpatu-kod na si GAil ug building isip iyahang monument si howard iyang gikuha nga architect kay si howard ra jud kunu ang maka-capture sa true spirit of man and of his truest spirit and to translate this into a building.

The end sa storya pero hangtud karon wa pa ko gihapon kasabut sa bout ipasabut. Basig kinahanglan nakong basahon ug usab. basig pud ug kuwang lang ko sa pag-sabut. Daghan kaayong gipanuwat si Ms rand ug mag quotations nga lisud kaayo hubaron. nindot jud ciguro nga ikaw mismo ang mubasa mas meaningful ug touching ug personal ang imong experience.

Parting Shot: you can visit my multiply site (http://eyemdblogger.multiply.com/)for the videos of Howard Roark and AYn rands principle. Dili ko kabalo unsaon pag download ug video diri, maayo didto kay sayon ra.
