Why read when you have that heavy kind of heart?  What a shame!!!

Heart Surgeon vs. Mechanic

A heart surgeon and a mechanic  may have one thing in common - they both repair. But there's really a big difference  between their jobs......

Jerry was removing some engine valves from a car on the lift when he spotted the famous heart surgeon Dr. Samuel Kaiser, who was standing off to the side, waiting for the service manager.

Jerry, who was somewhat of a loud mouth, shouted across the garage, "Hey Kaiser. Is dat you? Come over here a minute."

The famous surgeon, a bit surprised, walked over to where Jerry was working on the car. Jerry, in a loud voice that all could hear, said argumentatively, "So Mr. fancy doctor, look at this work. I too, take valves out, grind 'em, put in new parts, and when I'm finished, this baby will purr like a kitten. So how come you get the big bucks, when you and me are doing basically the same work?"

Dr. Kaiser, very embarrassed, shook his head and replied in a soft voice, "Try doing your work with the engine running."

A Thought on Aging

The aging process could be slowed down if it had to work its way through Congress. 

Boxers "Off The Ring"?

Floyd Mayweather Jr.  has gone weary and tired  in the boxing ring. Not that he is retiring but he wants a fight outside the ring. Street fighting, he cannot  be into. He wants the game in court. Or, rather, he has to face Manny Pacquiao in court for his badmouthing.  This means that Mayweather must have realized he cannot do it with his knuckles so he has to fight with his mouth. What a shame!  See http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/breakingnews/infotech/view/20110323-327097/Pacquiao-to-battle-Mayweatherin-court

And Manny Pacquiao, being the true champion, is not into "mouth-to-mouth" because all the sensible people around him believe he is into "pound-for-pound".

World's Smallest Car?

It seems there's an endless addition of items for the Guinness  Book of  Records. Just for the record, one can think of just about anything and get it published for all the world to see.

I am pasting here the write up and a photo of Perry Watkins' world's smallest car ever.

Perry Watkins‘ “Wind up” mini car was listed in Guinness Book of World Records as the world’s smallest car with license to drive on public streets.

The mini car was reported to have a measurement of 41 inches high, 51 inches long and 26 inches wide.

According to several news sites, Perry Watkinsonly used a coin-operated children’s ride. He repainted the body and repurposed a chassis from a Shanghai Shenke quad bike. The rear tiresand wheels are from a Honda Monkey motorcyle while the front wheels were custom-made.

The world’s smallest car has security belts and can drive 60 kph.

Reports said that the mini car will be shown at the motor show in Essen, Germany startingNovember 27, 2010 until December 5, 2010.

250 Lao Kip= 1 Thai Baht

So what can currency exchange do to a miser in Thailand like me when I go to Laos? A millionnaire! Kip millionnaire, that is.  Since 1 Thai Baht = 250 Laos Kip, I have 1,500,000 kip in my pocket. It's nice for me to know that I have the money....in millions but I pay my hotel room for 75,000 kip for one night!
