Lessons in logic
it is your fate but,
if your father-in-law is a poor man,
it's your stupidity.
I was born intelligent -
education ruined me.
Practice makes perfect.....
But nobody's perfect......
so why practice?
Since light travels faster than sound,
people appear bright until you hear them speak.
Money is not everything.
There's Mastercard & Visa.
Every woman should marry.
After all, happiness is not the only thing in
life.
The wise never marry.
and when they marry they become otherwise.
Never put off the work till tomorrow
what you can put off today.
"Your future depends on your dreams"
So go to sleep
There should be a better way to start a day
Than waking up every morning
"Hard work never killed anybody"
But why take the risk
The more you learn, the more you know,
The more you know, the more you forget
The more you forget, the less you know
So.. why learn.
A bus station is where a bus stops.
A train station is where a train stops.
On my desk, I have a work station....
what more can I say........

How to hug a baby... from a dog's point of view
Second, be sure that the object you found was indeed a baby by employing classic sniffing techniques
Next, you will need to flatten the baby before actually beginning the hugging process
The "paw slide": Simply slide paws around baby and prepare for possible close-up
Finally, if a camera is present, you will need to execute the difficult and patented ‘hug, smile, and lean’ so as to achieve the best photo quality

Before and after marriage
He: Yes. At last. It was so hard to wait.
She: Do you want me to leave?
He: NO! Don't even think about it.
She: Do you love me?
He: Of course! Over and over!
She: Have you ever cheated on me?
He: NO! Why are you even asking?
She: Will you kiss me?
He: Every chance I get!
She: Will you hit me?
He: Are you crazy! I'm not that kind of person!
She: Can I trust you?
He: Yes.
She: Darling!
After marriage...
Simply read from bottom to top.
Marriage
A couple drove down a country road for several miles, not saying a word.
An earlier discussion had led to an argument and neither of them wanted to concede
their position.
As they passed a barnyard of mules, goats, and pigs,the husband asked sarcastically, "Relatives of yours?"
"Yep," the wife replied,
"in-laws."
WORDS
A husband read an article to his wife about how many words women use a day..
30,000 to a man's 15,000.
The wife replied, "The reason has to be because we have to repeat everything to men...
The husband then turned to his wife and asked, "What?"
CREATION
A man said to his wife one day, "I don't know how you can be so stupid and so
beautiful all at the same time.
"The wife responded, "Allow me to explain.
God made me beautiful so you would be attracted to me;
God made me stupid so I would be attracted to you !
WHO DOES WHAT
A man and his wife were having an argument about who should brew the coffee each morning.
The wife said, "You should do it because you get up first, and then we don't have to wait as long to get our coffee.
The husband said, "You are in charge of cooking around here and you should do it! , because that is your job, and I can just wait for my coffee."
Wife replies, "No, you should do it, and besides, it is in the Bible that the man should do the coffee." Husband replies, "I can't believe that, show me."
So she fetched the Bible, and opened the New Testament and showed him at the top of
several pages, that! it indeed says .......... "HEBREWS"
The Silent Treatment
A man and his wife were having some problems at home and were giving each other the silent treatment.
Suddenly, the man realized that the next day, he would need his wife to wake him
at 5:00 AM for an early morning business flight. !
Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on
a piece of paper, "Please wake me at 5:00 AM ."
He left it where he knew she would find it. The next morning, the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 AM and he had missed his flight. Furious, he was
about to go and see why his wife hadn't wakened him, when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed.
The paper said, "It is 5:0 0 AM. Wake up."
Men are not equipped forthese kinds of contests.
God may have created man before woman, but there is always a rough draft before the masterpiece
Lost in Translation
Malioboro, Yogya. Lalu dia bertanya ke Paijo, yg saat itu kebetulan berada di tempat parkir, apakah dia ngeliat org yg ngambil sepeda motornya.
Paijo: "Yes, he use to table square-square. Worth he fast-fast go without any wet expire."
(Iya, dia pakai ke-meja kotak-kotak. Pantes dia cepat-cepat pergi tanpa basa basi).
Lalu dengan sok berwibawa Paijo menasehati si bule tadi : "Sir, different river, if park bicycle motor liver- liver, yes?"
(Tuan, lain kali kalo parkir sepeda motor hati- hati ya?").
Si bule itu diam saja karena nggak tau mau jawab apa, sehingga Paijo jadi ngedumel, "Basic bule!"
("Dasar bule!")
Karena tambah nggak tau harus ngomong apa lagi, si bule trus ngeloyor pergi, dan dengan PD-
nya Paijo bilang, "Breasttttt!" sambil melambaikan tangannya.
Maksudnya: "Dadaaaaa"............

Education in indonesia... Pffftt...
Better check this info out. Again, just for a reminder, not all the information you may find in this are correct.
Quote from Uncyclopedia about Indonesia:
Education
Tawuran
Tawuran, is a modernized martial art developed in 1970 by the Ministry of Education for the purpose of enhancing the physical fitness of Indonesian youth. Tawuran is mostly based on the ancient Indonesian martial art, Kerusuhan (lit. "Riot"), developed by Java Man, the first king of Indonesia. Exercises in Tawuran involve running, intimidation tactics, coordinated rock-throwing, and self-immolation. It's difficult to find qualified Tawuran instructors due to the self-immolation thing.
Demonstrations
Starting at age 12, all Indonesian students are required to participate in demonstrations and protests, usually on a weekly basis. By the end of high school, students have participated in demonstrations or protests for and/or against almost any imaginable issue or non-issue. Students are expected to demonstrate or protest as ordered, even against themselves. It is not uncommon for students to carry signs with messages such as "Down With Me" or "Students Suck". By college-age, many students have actually attacked themselves and administered self-beatings or had hunger strikes against themselves or even against food itself.
Indonesian Student Code of Conduct
- Honor corruption by cheating on all tests, even if you actually know the answers
- Flatter the teacher by offering them oral sex
- Show a spirit of cooperation by coordinating cheating in exams and after-school orgies
- Participate in Demonstrations and Strikes at least once per week
How to Succeed in Indonesian Classes
- Staple a 50,000 Rupiah note (US$5) to your assignment before handing in.
- Staple a 100,0000 Rupiah note to submitted assignments (some teachers are getting very strict now).
- Lift (female students) skirt to (male) teachers before handing in assignments.
Uncyclopedia...
How about Uncyclopedia?? Ever heard about it? It is a parody of encyclopedia in which we can found in the internet. Quoting from Wikipedia.org:
"English-language wiki, the project currently spans over 50 languages. The English version has over 24,000 pages of content.[2]
Various different styles of humour are used as a vehicle for parody, from sophisticated satire to the apparently random. Like Wikipedia, Uncyclopedia has guidelines regarding what is and is not acceptable content and these guidelines have become progressively more strict as the site expands over time. The site has gained media attention due to its articles on places and people."
Whenever you're bored, you can always check this website called Uncyclopedia in http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/ BUT always remember that the information in it may not be acceptable for some society. So be careful while reading it.
Please enjoy. ^_^
