Restaurant Rumblings

I had been invited by my girlfriend's parents to have dinner at a rather fancy restaurant. It would also be the first time that I would meet them. Hours before the occasion, I already felt nervous and couldn't eat anything at lunch. But I decided to look my most possible best. Neatly combed and wearing a freshly laundered white linen shirt and dark blue pants, I was sure I would make a good impression. When I arrived at the restaurant, I was greeted not only by my girlfriend's parents, but, it seemed, by her whole extended family. But I could see that they all seemed to approve of me, so I felt rather relieved. I was seated opposite my girlfriend, between her parents. While waiting for the food to arrive, we all chatted amiably among ourselves. Finally the waiter appeared, carrying the first course of the meal. While he carefully placed the big bowl of soup in the middle of the table, everybody fell silent. Just then my stomach started to rumble:
roar .. roar.. roar.

The rumblings were very loud and clear, and everybody at the table turned to look at me. It wa shard for me to smile, even sheepishly. ^_^

Job Benefits

Theo Paphitis, an entrepreneur well known for turning failing companies into highly successful and profitable businesses, has a motto: 'There are three reasons to be in business. To make money, to have fun and to make money.' And here are some examples of the fun reason, funny business :)

Job Benefits
During a job interview, an applicant inquires about the benefits. The Personal Manager informs her they have group health and life insurance, but the costs are deducted from the employees' pay. The applicant says, "My last company had full health coverage, as well as five year's salary for life insurance and a month's sick leave AND they paid the full premiums."
"Then why would you leave a job with such benefits?" the interview asks back.
The applicant shrugs and says, "The company went bankrupt."

ha .. Ha .. ha .. :) :)

Forgetful
"George is so forgetful," the sales manager complains to his secretary. "It's a wonder he can sell and I'm not sure he'll even remember to come back."
Just then the door flies open, and in bounces George. 'You will never guess what happened!' he shouts. "While I was at lunch, I met Old Man Brown, who hasn't bought anything from us in five years. Well, we got to talking and he gave me this half-million dollar order!"
"See?" sighs the sales manager to his secretary."I told you he'd forget the sandwiches."

Business Trick
A grocer puts up a sign that reads "eggplants, 25 cent each - three for a dollar."
All day long, costumers come in exclaiming,"Don't be ridiculous! I should get four for a dollar!"
Every time, quietly the grocer concedes and packages four eggplants. The tailor next door has been watching these antics and finally asks the grocer, 'Aren't you going to fix the mistake on your sign?'
"What mistake?" the grocer asks.
'Before I put up that sign no one ever bought more than eggplant.'

Florist Mistake
On opening his new store, a man receives a bouquet of flowers. He becomes dismayed on reading the enclosed card because it expresses "Deepest Sympathy." While puzzling over the message, his telephone rings. It is the florist, apologizing for having sent the wrong card.
"Oh, it's alright," says the store owner.
"I'm a businessman and I understand these things can happen."
'But,' adds the florist, 'I accidentally sent your card to a funeral party.'
"Well, what did it say?" asks the store owner.
'Congratulations on your new location,' is the reply.

Bring My Horse back or Else!

A big, burly cowboy had been in the saloon for a long time and decided that it was time, once again to head for the hills. He walked through the swing doors and immediately noticed that his horse had disappeared from the rail.
"OK", he shouted, re-entering the crowded bar, 'I'm gonna have one more drink and if my horse ain't back by then, the same thing will happen here that happened in Texas City.'
With that, several of the cowboys ran out of the saloon and within minutes one had returned to tell him that they'd found his horse for him. As he turned to leave the bartender stopped him,"Execuse me, stranger" he said, 'But what happened in Texas City?'

The cowboy replied: 'I had to walk home!'

Chicken Said

Cock-a-doodle-doo
This funny, mmm ... rather embarrassing, story happened when I was in primary school. It was a long time ago. Actually, I have a poor memory, so normally an old story like what I am about to share with you should have been easily forgotten. But not this story. Having lots of brothers makes the embarrassment linger.
Why? because they keep referring to it .. even when we have all grown up now!

Here's the story. Back then I was very smitten with foreign languages, especially English. It was no strange thing for my brothers to see me absorbed in watching TV programs for hours, especially documentaries.
Why, they were mostly in English! (Dubbing was not a common practice back then). One afternoon, my brothers and I watched a documentary about poultry. As the show got to the part when a rooster was crowing, I sat bolt upright on my chair.
"Did you hear that? Chickens in Europe also crow in Indonesian!" I shouted excitedly. My brothers looked bewildered. So I explained to them, "That chicken on TV has just crowed like a chicken in Indonesia, kukuruyuk. I thought it would be doing it in English."

The room exploded with my brothers' laughter.

Who are you, Wise Guy?

One afternoon I got ans SMS from an unknown number. It was in excelent English and I only understood about half of it. It mentioned something like that the English course I attended would be closed for two days due to the horrible floods.
It had to be one of my course mates playing a prank on me, I thought. I replied to the message saying,
" Yeah, yeah, so your English's perfect. Anyway, who are you, wise guy?"
Five minute later I got a reply. It said, "I'm sorry I forgot to tell you. It is Peter, your class teacher."
After a few minutes I managed to muster my courage to text him back, "I am sorry, Mr. Peter. I didn't know it was you and I didn't mean to be rude.

I thought my friend was pulling my leg. I am truly sorry"

How embarrassing !
