A joke for James

James is enjoying posting jokes at Puerilis so here’s one for him:

A man and a woman were sitting beside each other in the first class section of the plane.

The woman sneezed, took out a tissue, gently wiped her nose and then shuddered for 10 or 15 seconds. The man went back to his reading.

A few minutes later, the woman sneezed again, took a tissue, gently wiped her nose and shuddered again. The man was becoming more and more curious about the shuddering.

A few more minutes passed and the woman sneezed one more time. Again she took a tissue, gently wiped her nose and shuddered violently. The man couldn’t restrain his curiosity. He turned to the woman and said, "Are you all right?"

"I’m sorry if I disturbed you," the woman replied, "I have a rare condition; when I sneeze, I have an orgasm."

The man was a little embarrassed but even more curious and said, "I’ve never heard of that before. What are you taking for it?"

The woman looked at him and said, "Pepper."

Tired of spam?

Tired of spam? Quit using email!

Darren Lennard became something of a creative-class everyman a month ago when, after a long and onerous day at the office, he plucked his hyperactive BlackBerry from his silk-lined pocket and proceeded to smash it on the gleaming granite countertop of his London home. What makes Lennard’s e-mail outburst unique is that it was embraced by his superiors.

Tired of your boss? Work for yourself!

Ever consider the glamourous life of an overpaid independent consultant? Being a free agent and setting your own hours while raking in the dough sounds fun right? Let’s see…one client over due on an $800 bill, another client over due on $1600, others, I’m behind on a project that I underbid and overworked so I can’t bill it yet and my network just died, the mortgage is due Sunday, cable, phone and electric are due, the kids are making Christmas lists and funny thing is they want to eat.

Working for yourself…the stress-free way to retire early! Oh, and I almost forgot the best part: everyone you know wonders what you do and assumes that you are goofing off all the time.

Messy Mangers

Tim turned me onto this article by Mike Bellah that actually says mess is ok (sloppiness and laziness is not).

Whether it’s fruitful fields or fruitful people, success doesn’t come without a degree of messiness.

The mess we have is our lifes. It is how we live and although I would like to see the mess reduced, we have a messy manger for a reason.

…lives that are always clean and tidy may have the appearance of success, but, in reality, they are empty, lonely places.

Mike Bellah’s article has its roots in Proverbs 14:4

Where no oxen are, the manger is clean. But much increase comes by the strength of the ox.
