Monday Blues......

Forced to listen to a talk yesterday on corporate governance by some professor doctor guy...

But i have confirmed tat god did not make me an intellectual person!
Throughout the 2 hour talk, I was yawning away the whole time... Well who asked them to make me get up so early thus interrupting my interesting dream abt Casper the friendly ghost, haha...

Furthermore, I dunno whether its my problem or were all the jokes so lame or what?!

Get this (this was part of the talk ok):
The difference between honesty and ethical behaviour--
A fish & chips shop in town uses newspaper to wrap both its products-fish and chips, duh-and its earnings at the end of each day. This was an accident waiting to happen. One day, a man and a woman come to buy some fish and chips. As the woman is already very hungry, she quickly opens the packet, but instead of good comfort food (i added that ^^), she finds $2000 instead and tells the driver: Darling, look at what i found?! The driver takes a look and says: well, finders keepers! but the woman says: no, we cant do that, lets turn back and return the money. So they both go back.

At the shop, they see the manager collecting money from each employee, it was near x'mas by the way so the employees are all very happy that the money was returned. The manager told the couple that they were a small company and would not be able to reward them greatly BUT he could take a picture of them and send it to the Guinness records for the most honest people (this is where ppl started laughing btw... Stupid... whats so funny?) but the couple refused even after much persuading.. Do you know why? (for me this is the laughable part for me but still it could only warrant a wry smile, so i cant understand how some people could break out in guffaws and laugh non-stop.. Maybe they were thinking abt other things perhaps??!)

The reason was:

!
The couple was not married!!!!
(do you know the difference between honest and ethical now by chance?? Hmm??)

Another one was:
There was a wise man named Hoja. One day 2 men came up the mountain to seek his opinion..
Man 1: Man 2 was extremely rude to me when i talked to him he was wring!
Hoja: you are right...
Man 2: I was just being kind and telling Man 1 the truth, i was not wrong!
Hoja: You are right...
At this time, Hoja's (smarter) wife who was behind them all asked:
How can they both be right? there must be someone right and someone wrong!
and Hoja's answer was:
!
!
You are right also...

**Note: The above stories have been modified a little by me to sound
not so boring...

=.=//// got so funny meh... the first row of VIPs were laughing so much... maybe i really am not cut out to be an intellectual lah!!
