The Best Banker

>> One day, three bankers, a Citibanker, one from HSBC and another from
>> Maybank, went for a walk. They were old buddies from
>> school, and they
>> were remembering the tough old days they went as students
>> together.
>>
>> For no apparent reason, they went into a zoo and passed an elephant.
>>
>> Being from the same field and the same school, there is little bit of
>> peer competition going on, so when he saw this elephant, an
>> idea
>> clicked the Citibanker, he said to the others "Why don't we
>> prove who
>> is the best among us?".
>>
>> The others, of course, agreed.
>>
>> Then the Citibank said "Let's make a test. Whoever can make this
>> elephant laugh, he works for the best Bank".
>>
>> They all agreed and started.
>>
>> Being a pure logical strategist, the Citibanker tried to make the
>> elephant laugh by telling jokes (In this story, the
>> elephant do
>> understand the language, boleh la). Of course it stayed
>> still.
>>
>> As a more practical guy, the HSBC guy tried to make funny
>> gestures...and the elephant still stood firm.
>>
>> Now, it?s the Maybanker turn. Being the tomorrow -can- do- it guy, he
>> whispered something to the elephant, and it laughed at him
>> while
>> pointing its trunk at him. The other two were astonished.
>>
>> How come this Maybanker beat them?
>>
>> So the HSBC guy said "OK, let's make another test. Let's make this
>> elephant cry".
>>
>> So there they went again.
>>
>> The Citibanker told sad stories,
>>
>> The HSBC guy made sad gestures,
>>
>> and they fail again.
>>
>> Then, the Maybanker whispered something again in the elephant's ear
>> and it just cried, weeping and patting away.
>>
>> This can't be, thought the other two.
>>
>> So the Citibanker said "OK, you've won twice. If you can
>> win this
>> test, we will bow to you. Let's make this elephant run".
>>
>> He went and barked to the elephant orders to run. Of
>> course, it stayed still.
>>
>> The HSBC guy pushes the elephant and stabs it with stake to make it
>> run, it stayed still.
>>
>> So...our Maybanker comes to it and whispers something again in its
>> ear and the elephant ran and ran as fast as it could, as if it
>> was scared
>> to death.
>>
>> The other two surrendered.
>>
>> "OK, you're the best, pal. You work for a very good Bank; not even
>> our global bankers can beat you. Do tell us your secret".
>>
>> "Well" said the Maybanker
>>
>> "The first time I made it laugh, I said "Maybank is the
>> best bank ".
>>
>> "When I made it cry, I told the elephant how much I get paid".
>>
>> "And when I made it run scared to death, I said to it,
>>
>> "Why don't you join Maybank?"

THOSE WHO ARE BORN IN THE 50s and 60s/ early '70s in Msia

First, we survived with mothers who had no maids. They cooked /cleaned while taking care of us at the same time. They took aspirin, candies floss,fizzy drinks, shaved ice with syrups and diabetes were rare. Salt added to Pepsi or Coke was remedy for fever. We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets, not to mention As children, we would ride with our parents on bicycles/ motorcycles for 2 or 3. Richer ones in cars with no seat belts or air bags. Riding in the back of a private taxi was a special treat. We drank water from the tap and NOT from a bottle. We would spend hours on the fields under bright sunlight flying our kites, without worrying about the UV ray which never seem to affect us. We go to jungle to catch spiders without worries of Aedes mosquitoes. With mere 5 pebbles (stones) would be a endless game. With a ball (tennis ball best) we boys would ran like crazy for hours. We catch guppy in

discussions on an airplane

A stranger was seated next to a little black 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 coloring book, closed it slowly and said to the stranger, "What would you like to talk about?" "Oh, I don't know," said the stranger. "Since you are a Negro, do you think that So-called President Elect Barak Obama is qualified for the job?" 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 say

2 cute boys

Two little boys, ages 8 and 10, are excessively mischievous. They are always getting into trouble and their parents know if any mischief occurs in their town, the two boys are  probably involved. The boys' mother heard that a preacher in town had been successful in disciplining children, so she asked if he  would speak with her boys. The preacher agreed, but he asked to see them individually. The mother sent the 8 year old in the morning, with the  older boy to see the preacher in the afternoon. The  preacher, a huge man with a deep booming voice, sat the  younger boy down and asked him sternly, "Do you know where God is, son?" The boy's mouth dropped open, but he made no response, sitting there wide-eyed with his mouth hanging open. So the preacher repeated the question in an even sterner tone, "Where is God?! Again, the boy made no attempt to answer. The preacher raised his voice even more and shook his finger in the boy's face and bellowed, "
