A Cup Of Tips To Start Up The Day
Author: Unknown
LESSON 1
A junior manager, a senior manager and their boss are on their way to a meeting. On their way through a park, they come across a wonder lamp. They rub the lamp and a ghost appears. The ghost says, "Normally, one is granted three wishes but as you are three, I will allow one wish each.
So the eager senior manager shouted, "I want the first wish. I want to be in the Bahamas, on a fast boat and have no worries." Pfufffff. and he was gone!! Now the junior manager could not keep quiet and shouted "I want to be In Florida with beautiful girls, plenty of food and cocktails." Pfufffff. And he was also gone!! The boss calmly said, "I want these two idiots back in the office after lunch at 12.35 pm, today!!"
MORAL OF THE STORY IS: "ALWAYS ALLOW THE BOSS TO SPEAK FIRST"
LESSON 2
Standing in front of a shredder with a piece of paper in his hand, "Listen," said the CEO, "this is a very sensitive and important document, and my secretary has left. Can you make this thing work?"
"Certainly," said the young executive. He turned the machine on, inserted the paper, and pressed the start button. "Excellent, excellent!!" said the CEO as his paper disappeared inside the shredder machine. "I just need one copy."
LESSON II: "NEVER, NEVER ASSUME THAT YOUR BOSS KNOWS EVERYTHING"
LESSON 3
An American and a Japanese were sitting on the plane on the way to LA When the American turned to the Japanese and asked, "What kind of –ese are you?" The Japanese confused, replied, "Sorry but I don't understand what you mean." The American repeated, "What kind of -ese are you?" Again, the Japanese was confused over he question. The American, now irritated, then yelled, "What kind of -ese are you ... Are you a Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese!, etc......???"
The Japanese then replied, "Oh, I am a Japanese."
A while later the Japanese turned to the American and asked What kind of 'key' was he?
The American, frustrated, yelled, "What do you mean what kind of -kee' am I ?!"
The Japanese said, "Are you a Yankee, a donkee, or a monkee?"
LESSON III: "NEVER INSULT ANYONE"
LESSON 4
There were these 4 guys, a Russian, a German, an American and a French, who found this small genie bottle. When they rubbed the bottle, a genie appeared. Thankful that the 4 guys had released him out of the bottle, she said, "Next to you all are 4 swimming pools, I will give each of you A wish. When you run towards the pool and jump, you shout what you want the pool of water to become, then your wish will come true." The French wanted to start. He ran towards the pool, jumped and shouted, "WINE". The pool immediately changed into a pool of wine. The Frenchman was so happy swimming and drinking from the pool.
Next is the Russian's turn, he did the same and shouted, "VODKA" and immersed himself into a pool of vodka. The German was next and he jumped and shouted, "BEER". He was so Contented with his beer pool.
The last is the American. He was running towards the pool when suddenly He steps on a banana peel. He slipped towards the pool and shouted, "%#&!*%!!!!!!!........."
LESSON IV: "THINK TWICE BEFORE YOU SAY SOMETHING, BECAUSE SOMETIMES ACCIDENTS DO HAPPEN"
LESSON 5
The organs of the body were having a meeting, trying to decide who was In charge. Each organ took a turn to speak up: Brain......... I should be in charge because I run all body functions.
Blood........ I should be in charge because I circulate oxygen for the brain. Stomach... I should be in charge because I process food to the brain. Legs......... I should be in charge because I take the brain where it Wants to go. Eyes......... I should be in charge because I let the brain see where it's going. Asshole.....I should be in charge because I get rid of your waste. All the other parts laughed so hard and this made the asshole very mad. To prove his point, the asshole immediately slammed tightly closed and Stayed that way for 6 days, refusing to rid the body of any waste whatsoever.
Day 1 - Brain got a terrible headache and cried ou
I give you all permission to laugh at me!
"A Small Accident"
O.K. Lets get really wet!
My camera and right hearing aid got damaged; but the laughter and good memories of one of my sisters, one of my nieces (the one who took the picture) and I worth the loss!
I think honesty is healthier. Be natural, don’t play game.
Be balance and peaceful. Do not loose your mind in emotions .
Summer is coming now.
With the rhythm of dance, spreading the feet
the earth is laughing.
This summer comes in life and mind providing inner bliss.
I'm exhausted from laughing. I just got back from a couple hours out on the streets yucking it up with one group of people after another. I play my kartalas (little hand cymbals) and chant and wander here and there. From time to time I find groups and they either form around me or I go to them and I chant and then I stop and ask them, "I could have gone with the mobile (I hold up one of the kartalas to my ear) or I could have gone with the kartalas. I decided on the kartalas. What do you think?" They always laugh. They know I'm bugging them about giving up their fine sweet culture and taking up nasty Western ways and it's easy for them to join in the laughter. I'm happily exhausted and feel like I've been out swimming in some kind of an ecstatic ocean of bliss.
To attain complete success in life, one must have mental equipoise, balance. When there is a superior or inferior complex in the mind, it is out of balance and control.
Everyone must remember to play their different part in His Drama.
Actually, in happiness and sorrow no one is miserable or wretched, no one is blessed. No one is wise; no one is a stupid fool. Everyone has to play their parts and nothing else. Whoever can remember this, will not suffer any sorrow and will not be overwhelmed in happiness either.
What we deepest want is not fun and laugher. We want infinite peace,
OK, Deva, RIP good buddy, RIP. Me? I want to be drunk on love of God. Too many people have bought into this whole job syndrome mentality. They compartmentalize and section off their lives. It's a result of indoctrination and the Protestant Puritanical ethic. Everyone thinks they have to suffer in order to enjoy. That's ridiculous and very sad. I have to suffer at some job before I can laugh and enjoy my life. How absurd! If we can move beyond even bliss and ecstasy and realize the full potential for love then we won't entertain the idea of retreating into some peaceful land of limbo. We will be happy to interact with our world and serve the Supreme Being by doing so.
There's an interesting experiment that speaks to this. They put about a dozen chimpanzees in a cage with a central area where a bunch of bananas can be lowered into the cage. Any time any of the chimps go towards the bananas, though, they are sprayed with ice water until they learn to stay away from the bananas. Then the experiment takes an interesting turn. One of the chimps is taken out and a new one put in her place. Now when the bananas are lowered into the cage the other chimps immediately grab the new chimp and won't let her go near the bananas. This is done repeatedly. New chimpanzees are put in place of the original chimps until there's a whole new set of chimps in there, none of whom have ever been sprayed with the ice water. The whole new crew have learned from each other to stay away from those bananas. The moral of the story? "Hey, this is the way we've always done things around here." When I tell people that in human life they can all live beautifully and happily simply by chanting, dancing and enjoying nice vegetarian foodstuffs, they tell me I'm crazy. The fact of the matter is though, that that is exactly how I'm living and there's really no limit to how many people could live this way. Before man came in and started making claims on his environment, the elephant lived happily on over a hundred kilos of food a day. Now because man thinks he knows better, even the elephants are threatened.

London
Times Obituary of the late Mr. Common
Sense
'Today
we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common
Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one
knows for sure how old he was since his birth records
were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will
be remembered as having cultivated such valuable
lessons as:
Knowing when to come in out of the
rain; why the early bird gets the worm; Life isn't
always fair; and maybe it was my
fault.
Common
Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't
spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies
(adults, not children, are in
charge).
His
health began to deteriorate rapidly when
well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set
in place. Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with
sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teenagers
suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch;
and a teacher fired for
reprimanding an unruly
student, only worsened his
condition.
Common
Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for
doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in
disciplining their unruly children.
It
declined even further when schools were required to
get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an
Elastoplast to a student but could not inform parents
when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an
abortion.
Common
Sense lost the will to live as the Ten Commandments
became contraband; churches became businesses; and
criminals received better treatment than their
victims. Common Sense took a beating when
you
couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your
own home and the burglar could sue you for
assault.
Common
Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman
failed to realise that a steaming cup of coffee was
hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly
awarded a huge settlement.
Common
Sense was preceded in death by his parents, Truth and
Trust; his wife, Discretion; his daughter,
Responsibility; and his son, Reason. He is survived by
his 4 stepbrothers; I Know My Rights, I Want It Now,
Someone Else Is To Blame, and I'm A
Victim.
Not
many attended his funeral because so few realised he
was gone. If you still remember him, pass this on. If
not, join the majority and do nothing.'
I love the story of Mr. Common Sense! I’ll post it on my blog as well.
Today there are elections in my country. I couldn’t resist showing you a picture of some of our candidates... 
Three fat men and a sexy dame??? So, who won?
Once I was very upset with my to become husband, and I screamed at him; the thing is, I dont remember ever sreaming at anybody during my entire life...so I would yell, but my voice was not at the level where you can be taken seriously, you know? I could see he was hesitating with laughing out loud or screaming back; I could see that struggle on his face, and that would drive me even more mad and at the same time...I was feeling ridiculous...the next day he told me :"you know, about your yelling yesterday...that was very unprofessional"
Having an "unprofessional yelling" still makes me laugh now Oh well...
A good primal scream can relieve stress...except for the person to whom it's directed. 
MEL: you're right, screaming feels good when it comes from your guts, and you feel it exploding in your mouth, I love it! But for now I just cannot put words on it while doing it and yelling at someone in another language than yours is also weird since you have to *think* what you're screaming 
; in my language I guess the curses would be more fluid...
The Good Husband
Jack wakes up with a huge hangover after attending his
company's party
Jack is not normally a drinker, but the drinks didn't
taste like alcohol at all.
He didn't even remember how he got home from the
party..
As bad as he was feeling, he wondered if he did something
wrong.. Jack had to force himself to open his eyes, and the
first thing he sees is a couple of aspirins next to a glass of water on
the side table. And, next to them, a single red rose!!
Jack sits up and sees his clothing in front of him,
all clean and pressed. He looks around the room
and sees that it is in perfect order, spotlessly clean.
So is the rest of the house.
He takes the aspirins, cringes when he sees a huge black
eye staring back at him in the bathroom mirror.
Then he notices a note hanging on the corner of the mirror
written in red with little hearts on it and a kiss mark from his wife
in lipstick: 'Honey, breakfast is on the stove,
I left early to get groceries to make you your
favorite dinner tonight. I love you, darling! Love, Jillian'.
He stumbles to the kitchen and sure enough, there is hot
breakfast, steaming hot coffee and the morning newspaper.
His 16 year old son is also at the table, eating.
Jack asks, 'Son..what happened last night?'
'Well, you came home after 3 A.M., drunk and out of
your mind. You fell over the coffee table and broke it, and then you puked
in the hallway, and got th at black eye when you ran into the
door.'
Confused, he asked his son, 'So, why is everything in
such perfect order and so clean?
I have a rose, and breakfast is on the table waiting
for me??'
His son replies, 'Oh THAT... Mom dragged you to the
bedroom, and when she tried to take your pants off,
you screamed,
"Leave me alone, I'm married"!!!
Good one, Felicita!
Who won our elections, Melissa? Everybody! What would you expect?
There is more and more a gap between our political leaders and the People. They live in their high class and we look after our own business in our low class. They live in a rich and fancy world, we struggle to survive. Yesterday the crowd threw coins in the leader of the 1989 revolution, calling him a murderer. Today they hit him with eggs. They’re probably following the delicious example of the Iraqi journalist casting his shoes in Mr. Bush. I totally agree.
40% of our voting population went to vote (less than half – a voting strike). The social-democrats (the Left) and the democrat-liberals (the Right) got 30% each, while the liberals finally landed in opposition. To our utter surprise, so that they can steal better the country, they shook hands and today we’re about to have a government (in the interest of the country – how ironical!) formed by the Left and the Right. I suppose that we’re the first country in the world where the 2 extremes rule a country together so as to steal… err… save us from corruption and the economic crisis. Following this chaos, the ones who voted against the Left were surprised to see the Left ruling alongside the Right, and vice-versa. Living in this country resembles more and more to a lunatic house…
A stranger was seated next to a little girl on the airplane when the
stranger turned to her and said, 'Let's talk. I've heard that flights go
quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger.'
The little girl, who had just opened her book, closed it slowly and said to
the stranger, 'What would you like to talk about?'
'Oh, I don't know,' said the stranger. 'How about nuclear power?' and he
smiles.
OK, ' she said. 'That could be an interesting topic. But let me ask you a
question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff - grass
- . Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty,
and a horse produces clumps of dried grass. Why do you suppose that is?'
The stranger, visibly surprised by the little girl's intelligence, thinks
about it and says, 'Hmmm, I have no idea.'
To which the little girl replies, 'Do you really feel qualified to discuss
nuclear power when you don't know %#&!*%?
