This is the Stock Market!!

Well, I was going to write something about Granado Espada (an MMORPG I started last Friday) today, but I still need some time to consolidate all my screenshots. The freaking thing takes screenshots as BMP files, and they’re 5 MB in size each!!
.

So, for today, it’ll just have to be a stock market joke I got in a forwarded email. xP

This is the Stock Market!

.

Once upon a time in a village, a man appeared and announced to the villagers that he would buy monkeys for $10.
.

The villagers seeing that there were many monkeys around, went out to the forest and started catching them.
.

The man bought thousands at $10 and as supply started to diminish, the villagers stopped their effort. He further announced that he would now buy at $20. This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started catching monkeys again.

Soon the supply diminished even further and people started going back to their farms. The offer rate increased to $25 and the supply of monkeys became so little that it was an effort to even see a monkey, let alone catch it!
.

The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at $50! However, since he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant would now buy on behalf of him.
.

In the absence of the man, the assistant told the villagers, “Look at all these monkeys in the big cage that the man has collected. I will sell them to you at $35 and when the man returns from the city, you can sell them to him for $50.”
.

The villagers squeezed up with all their savings and bought all the monkeys.
.

Then they never saw the man nor his assistant again, only monkeys everywhere.
.

Welcome to the Stock Market!!!!!

Men and Shopping!

All right, we all know that most (not all) guys really don’t like shopping; some even loathe it. Most of the time, they have to join the women in shopping for many reasons (“Go or else!”, etc) while they’d rather stay at home and watch TV or something.
.

Why do they hate shopping with women so much?
.

It’s normally because of yet another difference in the way a guy and a girl shops:

• Guys: They often already know exactly what they want to buy. They go into a store, see what they want, pick it, then buy it. Short and simple.
  .
• Girls: They often only have a vague idea of what they want to buy. They go into a store, check out the selections there, check out the prices, exit the store, and repeat for a while before they finally make up their mind.
  .

See the problem here? That’s often why guys are usually impatient when we girls go shopping for an extended period of time. O_o
.

Anyways, the point of all this is shown in an image I got from a forwarded mail below:

.

.

So, ladies, don’t drag your guys to go shopping with you when they really don’t want to! xD

Tough requests for Microsoft’s Bill Gates

This is a real letter sent from Banta to Bill Gates of Microsoft!

.

---

• Subject : Problems with my new computer

.

Dear Mr. Bill Gates,
.

We have bought a computer for our home and we have found some problems, which I want to bring to your notice.
.

1. There is a button ‘start’ but there is no “stop” button. We request you to check this.
.

2. We find there is ‘Run’ in the menu. One of my friends clicked ‘run’ he ran up to Amritsar ! So, we request you to change that to “sit”, so that we can click that by sitting.
.

3. One doubt is whether any ‘re-scooter’ is available in system ? I find only ‘re-cycle’, but I own a scooter at my home.
.

4. There is ‘Find’ button but it is not working properly. My wife lost the door key and we tried a lot trace the key with this ‘find’ button, but was unable to trace. Please rectify this problem.
.

5. My child learnt ‘Microsoft word’ now he wants to learn ‘Microsoft sentence’, so when you will provide that ?
.

6. I bought computer, CPU, mouse and keyboard, but there is only one icon which shows ‘My Computer’ when you will provide the remaining items ?
.

7. It is surprising that windows says ‘My Pictures’ but there is not even a single photo of mine. So when will you keep my photo in that.
.

8. There is ‘MICROSOFT OFFICE’ what about ‘MICROSOFT HOME’ since I use the PC at home only.
.

9. You provided “My Recent Documents”. When you will provide “My Past Documents” ?
.

10. You provide “My Network Places”. For God sake please do not provide “My Secret Places”. I do not want to let my wife know where I go after my office hours.
.

Regards,

Banta
.

Last one from me to Mr. Bill Gates :
Sir, how is it that your name is Gates but u are selling WINDOWS ?

Malaysian ID Card in the Future!

Haha, I know I just posted yesterday, but I feel like posting another forwarded mail joke~
.

Caution!
For non-Malaysian/Singaporeans, you may or may not understand the slang used by the guy in this joke.
.

Important Note:
This particular joke isn’t meant to be insulting. It’s meant to be humourous and is just for fun. Also, I’m not the creator of the art! I just got it in a forwarded mail. =(

It’s the time of the semester again… O_O

As the hot afternoon lapses into evening, the sun shining merrily in the clear blue sky, a feeling of doom hangs in the atmosphere around the white and blue building. An ominous whisper from the February wind sends a shiver down everyone’s spine.
.

Suddenly, a loud cry echoes in the air.
.

“Aaaaaaaaagh!! Why’s the mid-term paper so hard?!! YARGH!!!”
.

Yep, it’s mid-term exam season in the university again.
.

It’s the time when towering, dark, evil lecturers band together to plot and scheme to bring down students by the hundreds. It’s the time when casualties are high, and it’s the time when students cower in fear.
.

And no one escapes the wrath of the evil exam papers.
.

Or not. I just feel like creating such a dark scene for it!
.

I feel really artistic lately. =D
.

Anyway, the reason why the topic today is on university mid-terms is because my boyfriend just finished some mid-term exams (and more are coming), and he was complaining about some Mr. So-and-so lecturer who can bore everyone to sleep (while he’s really hardworking, he’s not exactly sleep-proof O_o). I’d do the same too, if I were in class!
.

Anyways, that’s all for today. So I’ll just end the post with a semester-related joke I got from a forwarded mail!

I know it’s just a long list of messenger emoticons with captions, but it’s still pretty funny when you put it that way!
.Let’s hope we all won’t be like that. xP
