Too busy for love, too few to wed

WHY NOT?
By WONG SAI WAN

IN the past month, the findings of two surveys sent shivers down the spine of many men and women, mums and dads, and even bosses.

If the figures are to be believed, then the authorities had better act fast before there is a severe imbalance in the country.

Such inequality is not good for Malaysia and could ruin all plans that are in place to ensure sustainable development well past the time Malaysia attains developed nation status in 2020.

What am I rambling about? Gender imbalance.

Firstly, there are the findings of a study by Wanita MCA that 70% of all those joining the workforce as professionals are women.

This is not surprising because 60% of all students in public universities in the country are women.

Then there is the projection of the country’s male-female ratio. Another survey found that by 2020, 53% of the global population would be males. Yes, this means there will be more guys than gals in the future. In Malaysia, at present, males make up 49.1% of the population.

These two findings were the topic of discussion when three of us sat down for coffee at a shopping centre.

I listened attentively to the discussion between my two 30-something women friends who are no married.

These ladies, whom I shall not name out of fear for my personal safety, were quite frank in discussing the problem.

H said that even if the survey results were inaccurate, young single women today faced a serious problem when it came to finding a prospective husband.

“Fifty per cent of all available men are married or spoken for. Another 30% are gay and a further 10% are jerks.

“This means that all of us single women are running around trying to attract only 10%. We have so little choice,” moaned H, much to my amusement.

However, my laughter did not leave my lips when I saw the killer stares from both the women. It was a serious and sensitive subject.

C quickly agreed with H, saying that in the business they were in, they hardly had a chance to meet “good guys”.

The girls are all professionals and holding managerial posts. One is in a multi-national company and the other in a local listed corporation.

(A qualifier at this stage is needed. The two of them are very attractive and their single status has always puzzled me.)

“I start work at 8am and don’t finish till about 8 or 9pm. So the only way I will meet any guy is through work.

“In our trade (retail) most of the guys are TEAPOTS!” said C while arching her wrist to mimic the snout of a teapot.

Without trying to sound homophobic (which I am NOT), the term teapot refers to gay males who are effeminate. The snout of the teapot looks like the limp wrist that is commonly associated with men of such sexual persuasion.

H then jumped in, probably realising that I was male and heterosexual, saying that they were not desperate for a partner, as they were happily single.

The two girls went to great pains to explain to me that this subject of “not enough good guys available” was the rave topic among women of their age.

I teased them by asking them to join the MCA Cupid Club set up with women like them in mind.

“Cheh! We will only find desperate men there,” the two girls said almost in unison.

C explained that her biggest fear was meeting a guy who might turn out to be a weirdo with a perverse sexual orientation.

Thinking back, I felt that it was quite bold for the two to be so frank with me especially since we were talking quite loudly at a Starbucks outlet.

Those at the other tables must have overheard our conversation.

On Monday, H sent me an e-mail entitled “Why ladies today are still single”.

It was a funny piece, origin unknown, that must have been forwarded many times around. But it described very aptly our conversation that day.

I reproduce it here:

Why ladies today are still single:

1. The nice men are ugly.

2. The handsome men are not nice.

3. The handsome and nice men are gay.

4. The handsome, nice and heterosexual men are married.

5. The men who are not so handsome, but are nice men, have no money.

6. The men who are not so handsome, but are nice men with money think we are only after their money.

7. The handsome men without money are after our money.

8. The handsome men, who are not so nice and somewhat heterosexual, don’t think we are beautiful enough.

9. The men who think we are beautiful, that are heterosexual, somewhat nice and have money, are cowards.

10. The men who are somewhat handsome, somewhat nice and have some money and thank God are heterosexual, are shy and NEVER MAKE THE FIRST MOVE!!!!

11. The men who never make the first move, automatically lose interest in us when we take the initiative.

Now, who the hell understands men?

Men are like fine wine. They all start out like grapes, and it’s our job to stomp on them and keep them in the dark until they mature into something you’d like to have dinner with.

Teasing H with a reply, I asked her which category I fell into.

She promptly replied “No 10”.

There is no intention here to reinforce the old-fashioned thinking and apply pressure on everyone to get married hastily before they get too old but if C and H are typical of the young ladies, then something needs to be done.

I dread to think we may one day have to go the way of Singapore where the government organises lonely heart clubs for the single guys and girls to meet. In our daily pursuit of material gain, we sometimes tend to forget the need to take time off to meet other people outside our working life.

So to the somewhat handsome, somewhat nice and have some money and thank God are heterosexual men, make the first move.

It’s Called a Breakup Because It’s Broken
The Smart Girl's Break-Up Buddy
There’s no doubt about it—breakups suck. But in the first few hours or days or weeks that follow, there’s one important truth you need to recognize: Some things can’t and shouldn’t be fixed, especially that loser who dumped you or forced you to dump him. It’s over for a reason, and deep down inside you probably know what that reason is. It’s called a breakup because it’s broken, and starting today, you’re not the kind of woman who settles for broken, or hangs on to damaged goods, be it a radio, a pair of shoes, or a relationship. It’s time to get rid of all the broken stuff you’ve been lugging around for days, months, and maybe even years, and make the bold decision to start looking for stuff that works! Because the longer you stay stuck in a dead-end relationship, the less time you get on this planet to experience a great one. So open up this book, and let’s dive in—our goal is to help you turn your breakup into the event that changes your life for the better in ways you never dreamed possible. It’s not an end, it’s a beginning! It's not an end, it's a beginning! After all . . . you are a Superfox.

It’s Called a Breakup Because It’s Broken is the ultimate survival guide to getting over Mr. Wrong and reclaiming your inner Superfox. From how to put yourself through “he-tox,” to how to throw yourself a kick-ass pity party, Greg and Amiira share their hilarious and helpful roadmap for getting past the heartache and back into the game. They give advice on:

• Why you shouldn’t call him—and what he’s thinking when you do
• How to keep your friends and not lose your job
• How to avoid breakup pitfalls: IMing, stalking, having sex with your ex

• How to transform yourself into a hot, happening Superfox and get a jump on the better, brighter future that awaits

A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. For many months

he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's showroom, and knowing

his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted. As

graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had

purchased the car.

Finally, on the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his

private study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine

son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful

wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat Disappointed, the young man

opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible, with the young man's name embossed in gold. Angrily, he raised his voice to his father and

said, "With all your money you give me a Bible? and stormed out of the

house, leaving the Bible.

Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He

had a beautiful home and wonderful family, but realized his father was

very old, and thought perhaps he should go to him. He had not seen him

since that graduation day. Before he could make arrangements, he received

a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and willed all of his

possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately and take

care of things.

When he arrived at his father's house, sudden sadness and regret filled his

heart. He began to search through his father's important papers and saw the

still new Bible, just as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened the

Bible and began to turn the pages. His father had carefully underlined a

verse, Matt 7:11, "And if ye, being evil know how to give good gifts

to your children, how much more shall your Heavenly father

which is in heaven, give to those who ask Him?" As he read

those words, a car key dropped from the back of the Bible. It

had a tag with the dealer's name, the same dealer who had

the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of

his graduation, and the words...PAID IN FULL.

How many times do we miss God's blessings because they are

not packaged as we expected? I trust you enjoyed this. Pass

it on to others. Do not spoil what you have by desiring what

you have not; but remember that what you now have was once

among the things you only hoped for...

IF YOUR GIFT IS NOT PACKED THE WAY YOU WANT IT, IT'S
BECAUSE IT IS BETTER PACKED THAT WAY! ALWAYS APPRECIATE
LITTLE THINGS; THEY USUALLY LEAD YOU TO ATTACHMENTS!

PLS SEND THIS TO ATLEAST TWO PEOPLE SO AS TO LET THIS GREAT
LESSON FLOW AROUND.

ALWAYS REMEMBER :

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments

that take our breath away.

Venue: Meet @ MOX PJ first and head out from there to Sg Buloh Leprosy Centre.

...... this applies to those living in houses only… apartment a bit susah lah!

"When someone is trying to get into your house, or if

you hear a noise outside your house, " keep your car

keys next to your bed on the night stand and just

press the panic alarm on your car. It will go off from

almost anywhere from inside your house and it will

keep honking until your battery runs down, or until

you reset it with the button on the key chain."



A lot of burglars will cut your telephone line before

breaking in so this is a real good idea.


Could save your life.

How often have you heard someone say, or said yourself, "I know I ought to do it, but I just don't feel like it"? And how often have you heard, "We fell out of love. The feeling was gone"? Many things seem exciting and fun at the beginning, but become chores later.

The thrill of a new project or hobby fades; a friendship or a marriage seems less and less fulfilling. When the feeling goes away, our most common response is to stop doing what we were doing and give up on the friendship, the marriage, the job. On the other hand, when feelings are strong, we will do anything to make sure we keep them going.

How often have we heard people explaining what they did by saying, "The feeling was right," or "I just felt that it was the right thing to do?" In our culture, strong feelings are used to justify just about every possible action, from angry words to spending money we don't have to committing adultery. The phrase, "I couldn't help myself," is used so often it has become a cliche.

For many of us, feelings dictate how we live our lives. We use them tomotivate us. We use them to decide what we love, who we are, and what we should do. If they are strong, we will do anything to keep them going, and if they are weak, nothing can make us do anything.

This can seem like a very reasonable way to live. Since we are what we love, we might say, our feelings show us who we are. Some have even reasoned that since they want to do something they know is wrong that they must love it, and since they love it they might as well do it.

After all, there's no point in pretending to be any better than we really are; that's adding hypocrisy to our list of evils. The reality is that our feelings do not always tell us what we love, and therefore they should not be a factor in choosing what we should do with our spiritual lives. What we feel is not what we love. Loves do produce feelings, and feelings do help us know what we love, but they can also be misleading.

A feeling can be good, yet come from a good or an evil love. Take romantic passion for example. It always feels good. If it comes from a chaste love, and is expressed only within the bonds of marriage, that good feeling shows a good love. On the other hand, that same feeling could come from a horrible selfish desire.

The feeling alone will not tell us which love gave rise to it. Similarly, a feeling of sadness may come from a good or a bad love. A person could feel sad because a good love has been thwarted, or because he has lost someone he loves. Or he could be sad because an evil love has been foiled, and he is pouting. It's easy to see how far apart our loves and feelings often are when we are angry.

Think about a time when you were angry with someone you love very dearly. In that time of anger, you may have felt like hurting that person, that you hated him, maybe even that you wished he was dead. But did that feeling of anger and hatred mean you didn't love him anymore? Of course not! In an hour, or even fifteen minutes, the feeling was probably totally gone, and you were ready to appreciate and even feel love for the person again.

The love was there all along, but you were blind and deaf to it. While it is true that the presence of anger shows that you do not totally love that person, that's no big deal. It just means we aren't perfect, but we knew that already. What is important is for us to recognize that feelings don't necessarily show us what our overall love is.

Several more problems arise from trying to see our loves from our feelings. The first is that there is no one-for-one ratio between feelings and loves. In other words, a strong love will not necessarily show itself as a strong feeling. A deeply held love, like the love of a child or a love of order, may not come to our conscious mind as anything other than a general feeling of contentment and a willingness to fight for something that needs protection.

On the other hand, a superficial love may show itself as an almost overwhelming feeling, one which makes it almost impossible to concentrate on anything else. An example of this is sports. Hardly anyone has a deeply held love for sports, but when someone's favorite team loses, it can seem that the whole world collapsed. Based on the feelings he feels, you'd think the world was about to end.

A second problem of trying to discover our loves by means of our feelings is that evil loves create proportionally stronger feelings than good loves do. The reason for this is that the hells try to make that feeling so important to us that it sweeps away all rational thought, and even all free will. They want that feeling to become so important that we will do anything to keep it going.

Swedenborg once was allowed to feel what the love of dominating others is like and he said it was the most delightful feeling he had ever had. What is more, it totally filled his mind. This is how the hells use feelings to manipulate and dominate us. The angels, on the other hand, offer us good feelings in a way that we can freely receive them or reject them as we wish.

They don't want to dominate us with feelings. There is a better way to find out what we really love. We need to look at what we do. What things do we make time for? What things form consistent patterns in our activities? What do we always do no matter how we feel? Love is not so much a feeling as a commitment.

Two stories from the Word can show us how love is a commitment. One is when Abraham is willing to sacrifice Isaac at the Lord's command, even though it clearly hurts him. In the story, the Lord tells Abraham to give up "your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love.

" What the Lord asks Abraham to do is to make a commitment to Him. Picture Abraham climbing up the mountain and then tying his son onto the altar. He must have felt terrible. But he was committed to the Lord: he did what His God asked rather than obey his paternal feelings.

Abraham's commitment to obey the Lord in spite of his feelings showed a greater love to the Lord than any feelings of devotion could. We can see an even more powerful example of this principle in the Lord's prayer in the garden of Gethsemane. This was probably the low-point of the Lord's life on earth. He had been deserted by the whole Human race;

He was about to be deserted by His disciples, and He knew it; even the angels had despaired and were telling Him to give up on humanity. He was totally alone. He felt so bad that He even prayed to His Father, to the soul within Himself, to ask if He had to go through with the trials of the next day.

Yet think of the words He said in this low-point of His life: "O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will but as You will." Think about that.

Even during the most overpowering feelings of loss and loneliness, ones we cannot begin to imagine, the very question He asked to get out of His appointed task is qualified with the commitment to do what is right: nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.

That total commitment to the salvation of each one of us is staggering. No one has ever felt more like giving up, and then no one has ever gone on to give more in spite of His feelings.

The closest we can get to doing what the Lord did is to be willing to lay down our life, either physically or spiritually, for someone else. The Lord said that this is the greatest act of love a person can do. Yet to do it we have to overcome the strongest feeling we have, which is our desire to preserve our own lives. No one feels like doing this.

No one gets up in the morning and decides, "I think I'll lay down my life for my friend today." Rather, when a person or cause is threatened, he sees the need for sacrifice, and acts. True love acts on what it knows to be good, rather than what it simply feels to be good. These loves, which we develop by our commitments, are what conjoin us to the Lord.

There is also a group of passages in the Word for the New Church which state that we are conjoined to Him by what we do. Once we see love as a commitment, these two statements become different ways of stating the same thing. When we feel destructive anger, yet act fairly, we love fairness more than anger.

When we control ourselves when we feel like flirting, or testing our power with the opposite sex, we love our spouse and the bonds of marriage more than adultery. On the other hand, when we feel loving toward someone, but don't act kindly to them, we do not love them.

Or if we sit in church every Sunday and feel close to the Lord there, yet act selfishly the rest of the week, we don't love the Lord, regardless of what we feel. What we are committed to doing will always show us what we love more accurately than what we feel.

This is a wonderful fact, because we can all make ourselves do good deeds, but we have an extremely hard time making ourselves feel good things. So where does this leave our feelings since they should have nothing to do with how we act?

Are they just useless adornments the Lord has given us, something we can't enjoy because we can't trust? The answer is that feelings are not made to show us our loves or to show us what to do. Our feelings serve two important uses. The first is to stimulate us to think about an issue. If a feeling comes up, we know that some love must be active.

That mean we need to evaluate what that love is, and see if runs contrary to our commitments. If we feel a rush of anger coming on, it is a warning either that the hells are attacking us, or that we are feeling a strong desire to protect ourselves or someone we love.

That feeling can stimulate us to decide what our commitments are. Similarly, if we feel the strong desire to hug someone, that feeling should prompt us to decide whether the setting is appropriate, and if that would be the most useful thing to do for that person.

But feelings serve one far more important purpose. We can see it from the word used to name feelings in the Word for the New Church: they are called "delights." That word, delights, tells us how we are supposed to use our feelings: we are supposed to enjoy them, delight in them, accept them as a wonderful gift from our God to make our life enjoyable. Once we know that a feeling is from a good love, the Lord wants us to enjoy it. Until we get to the point where we instinctively know whether feelings are good or bad, in other words, until we become among the very best of the angels, there is another way of judging them.

While it is true that the hells are particularly good at manipulating our feelings, they have a much harder time manipulating our thoughts. Therefore we can use our thoughts to judge our feelings. A simple way of doing this is to ask ourselves, "If I follow this feeling out, does it lead me to do good or evil things." If it leads us away from what we know is right, we should shun it, but if it does not, we can enjoy it, even abandon ourselves to it.

Using our feelings in this way frees them up to simply delight us. All feelings do come from loves, but we often can't tell if it is a good or bad love. If we identify ourselves and our loves with what we feel, we give a great victory to the hells because at times they can make us feel just about whatever they want.

Although we cannot control the feelings that flow into us, we can control the loves we develop. If we can recognize that love is not a feeling, but a commitment, and that we can choose to love something by deciding to do it no matter what we feel, we will negate the hells' power. We will still feel terrible at times, just as the Lord did while He was on earth.

But more and more often we will be able to rise above the strong feelings the hells inspire in us. We will learn that love in the form of commitment is more enduring and more powerful than any feeling we may have. And what is wonderful, we will discover the joy of allowing the good feelings the Lord has given us to delight us with their full power.

All delights flow forth from love, for that which a person loves he feels to be delightful. No one has any delight from any other source. From this is follows that such as the love is such is the delight.

A New and Enterprising endeavor!

Japanese Snack foods fascinate me so I decided why not do a food review as I try out some new snacks? (Because I'll try anything once if it is sufficiently intriguing.) TheMan and I shop frequently at Jusco, which has a delightfully enigmatic Japanese Food stuffs display and occasionally we will pick up something new to try. Some stuff is good, some stuff is not so good, some stuff just ought to never have seen the light of day but you never know what's what until you try it.

I figure between shopping at Jusco and the occasional trip to Wizzywig we have a pretty good selection of snack foodage to choose from. Plus, the stuff just calls to me and I can use this as an excuse. That way, if we have picked up something and reviewed it and you would like to know something about it you can give it a read here and see if it encourages or dissuades you in any way.

Alright, the rating system. I'm rating these in Wasabi Peas (an homage to my first Japanese Snack food) on a scale from 0 to 5 Peas.


0 Peas = Good God NO! Rats, swine and even snotlings would not touch this stuff. Run Away!

1 Pea = Glarrrrrhh! Maybe with enough saki this would be an appealing snack. It's edible but just barely.

2 Peas = Meh. Probably better off eating something else but it's not so foul that it can't do in a pinch when in the grips of a munchy attack. Warning though; it'll most likely leave you dissatisfied at which point you will probably wander off and look for something else to snack on anyway.

3 Peas = It's not only palatable but you might even like it! Certainly it's not the best thing you've ever had, but on the other hand it's not the worst thing you've ever had either and it will satisfactorily tackle your munchie conundrum.

4 Peas = Mmmm, tasty. It's good, it'll kibosh the munchy nosh instinct and you will probably remember what it was the next time you go shopping and pick up another package.

5 Peas = Orgasmic Crack Epiphany. You need to try some of this right now. No right now-WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE READING AND NOT OUT BUYING AND EATING!

Dearest [ ]

I am very happy to inform you that I have fallen in love with you since Tuesday, the 17th of August 2003. With reference to the meeting held between us on the 17th of August 2003 at 1500 hours, I would like to present myself as a prospective lover. Our love affair would be on probation for a period of no less than three months and depending on compatibility, would be made permanent.

Of course, upon completion of probation, there will be continuous relationship training and relationship appraisal schemes leading up to promotion from lover to spouse. The expenses incurred for coffee and entertainment would initially be shared equally between us.
Later, based on your performance, I might take up a larger share of the expenses. However I am broad-minded enough, to be taken care of, on your expense account.

I request you to kindly respond within 30 days of receiving this letter, failing which, this offer would be cancelled without further notice and I shall be considering someone else. I would be happy, if you could forward this letter to your sister, if you do not wish to take up this offer.

Thanking you in anticipation. Yours sincerely [ ]


MODERN REPLY TO MODERN LOVE LETTER

Dear [ ] Please refer to your letter dated today. I am pleased to inform you that I hope to accept your proposal for romance. However, you should be informed that there are certain conditions of acceptance. Promotional prospects are to my satisfaction.

However, please enlighten me as to your retirement benefits. Gratuity should be generous. I also need to be assured that there is sufficient security with regards to this commitment. If there is any chance at all of retrenchment or consequent disinterest on your part, then I should receive monetary compensation according to union standards.

Due to the nature of my position, I am sure you will agree that an expense account should be arranged for my access in light of the 'VIP'.

I shall be entertaining. In addition, housing and transport allowances should be in order and nothing less than a Jaguar is in order.

Please also note that there should be no moonlighting restrictions placed on myself. If you are still interested in the relationship, please reply on an urgent basis as other prospective lovers have sent indications of interest.

Please also note that my sister is happily employed.

Yours perhaps

Check it out.... Gardenia bread Tips on buying Gardenia bread

Here is something interesting........

When you go to buy bread in the grocery store, have you ever wondered which is the freshest, so you "squeeze" for freshness or softness.

Did you know that bread is delivered fresh to the stores five days a week?

Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday .
Each day has a different color twist tie.

They are :

Monday - Blue
Tuesday - Green
Thursday - Red
Friday - White
Saturday - Yellow

So if today is Thursday, you would want red twist tie not white which is Fridays. (almost a week old)!

The colors go alphabetically by color Blue - Green - Red - White -Yellow, Monday thru Saturday. Very easy to remember.

I thought this was interesting.

I looked in the grocery store and the bread wrappers DO have different twist ties, and even the one with the plastic clips have different colors.

Enjoy fresh bread when you buy bread with the right color on the day you are shopping.

Terminal Stupidity!

Ten years ago in Kuala Lumpur, when you had to fly to a domestic destination, you travelled 30 minutes to Subang Airport, where you left from the 1954-style terminal where you had to go out on the tarmac in the rain and climb up a staircase to get on the plane.

Then, the government built a multi-billion ringgit global hub terminal 75 minutes away from KL with world-class everything.

Then, they built a high-speed rail connection so it takes only 30 minutes to get there. Despite this, the global hub terminal remains a deserted ghost-town with far more gate capacity than flights.

AirAsia then starts up. Everyone can fly and the global hub terminal begins to come to life. So the government decides to build AirAsia far, far away terminal at the other end of the airport, one that replicates the old 1954-style terminal. It doesn't connect to the high-speed train.

Then, almost all domestic flights are shifted over to AirAsia.

So now you have to take a 75 minute bus ride to the far, far away terminal and walk out in the rain and climb the stairs just like back in 1954, while the global hub terminal is once again deserted.

Oh, and if you need to transfer from an overseas flight to a domestic flight, you have to take a half-an-hour bus ride from the global hub terminal to the far, far away terminal.

Is this back to the future or back to the past? Or is it just what people called 'terminal stupidity'?

I quite like this story and the conclusion (especially the conclusion) but
would admit to NOT always following it (for good reasons)

Young King Arthur was imprisoned and sentenced to death by a neighboring
King. Instead of killing him, however, the King, moved by Arthur's youth
and ideals, offered him freedom in exchange for answering a difficult question.

Arthur would have a year to figure out the answer; if, after a year,
he still had no answer, he would be put to death.The question: What do women really want?

Such a question has perplexed even the most knowledgeable men, and, to
>King Arthur, it seemed an impossible query. But, since it was better than
>instant death, he accepted the monarch's proposition to have an answer
by year's end.

He returned to his kingdom and began to poll everybody: the princess,
the prostitutes, the priests, the wise men, the court jester.

He spoke with everyone, but no one could give him a satisfactory
answer.Many people advised him to consult the old witch - only she would know the answer.

The price would be high; the witch was famous throughout the kingdom
for the exorbitant prices she charged.The last day of the year arrived and Arthur had no alternative but to talk to the witch.

She agreed to answer his question, but he'd have to accept her price
but first: The old witch wanted to marry Gawain, the most noble of the
Knights of the Round Table and Arthur's closest friend!

Young Arthur was horrified: She was hunchbacked and hideous, had only
one tooth, smelled like sewage, made obscene noises.......very unpleasant.
He had never encountered such a repugnant creature. He refused to force
his >friend to marry her and have to endure such a burden.

Gawain, upon learning of the proposal, spoke with Arthur. He told him that
nothing was too big a sacrifice compared to Arthur's life and the preservation of the Round Table.

Hence, their wedding was proclaimed, and the witch answered Arthur's
question, thus:***What women really want is to be in charge of their own life.***

Everyone instantly knew that the witch had uttered a great truth and
that. Arthur's life would be spared. And so it was. The neighboring monarch
granted Arthur total freedom.

What a wedding Gawain and the witch had! Arthur was torn between
relief and anguish. Gawain was proper as always, gentle and courteous.

The old witch put her worst manners on display, and generally made
everyone very uncomfortable.

The honeymoon hour approached. Gawain, steeling himself for a horrific
experience, entered the bedroom. But what a sight awaited him!

The most beautiful woman he'd ever seen lay before him! The astounded
Gawain asked what had happened.

The beauty replied that since he had been so kind to her when she'd
appeared as a witch, she would henceforth be her horrible, deformed
self half the time, and the other half, she would be her beautiful maiden
self.

Which would he want her to be during the day, and which during the
night?

What a cruel question! Gawain pondered his predicament.

During the day, a beautiful woman to show off to his friends, but at
night, in the privacy of his home, an old witch?

Or would he prefer having by day a hideous witch, but by night a
beautiful woman with whom to enjoy many intimate moments?

What would you do?

What Gawain chose follows below, but don't read until you've made your
own choice.

The Noble Gawain replied that he would let her choose for herself.

Upon hearing this, she announced that she would be beautiful all the
time,because he had respected her enough to let her be in charge of her own
life.

What is the moral of this story?

The moral is: If you don't let women have their own way, things are
going to get ugly!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIMES ;-)

Once there was a bus conductor, who was very rude to his passengers.One day a beautiful young girl, of around 18 years,tried to board the bus,but he didn't stop the bus.

Unfortunately the beautiful young girl came under the bus and died on the
spot. Angry passengers took the conductor to the police station, who in turn
took him to the court.The judge was not at all impressed with him and gave him capital punishment.He was taken to the electrocution chamber. There was a single chair in the center of the room and a single banana peel at one corner of the room. The conductor was strapped to the chair and high voltage current was given to him. But to everyone's amazement, he survived. The judge decided to set him free, and he returned to his profession.

After a few months, this time, a good lo! oking middle aged woman tried to
board the bus but the conductor didn't stop the bus.Unfortunately, this time also, the good looking middle aged woman came under the bus and died on the spot.

Again angry passengers took him to the police station, who in turn took
him to the court. The judge took one look at the conductor and gave him
capital punishment. The Bus conductor was taken to the same electrocution
chamber where there was a single chair in the center of the room and a single
banana peel at one corner of the room. He was strapped to the chair and high
voltage current was given to him. This time also to everyone's amazement, he
survived. The judge decided to set him free, and he returned to his profession.

A couple of months later, an elderly gentleman tried to board the bus. This
time the Bus conductor, remembering his earlier experiences, stopped the
bus. Unfortunately the elderly gentleman slipped and died due to his injuries. The conductor was taken to the police station and then to the court, to the same judge. Though he hadn't done anything wrong, but considering his past record the judge decided to set an example and gave him capital punishment. The Bus conductor was again taken to the same electrocution chamber where there was a single chair in the center of the room and a single banana peel at one corner of the room. He was strapped to the chair and high voltage current was given to him. This time he died instantly !!!!!!!!!!!

The question is why didn't he die on the first two occasions, but died instantly the third time??

> > Try to solve it yourselves. This is rather interesting and answer is
perfectly logical. If necessary read the puzzle once again.

Still you couldn't, Then see below.........

ok........ there is the Answer............

During the first two times, the conductor was a Bad Conductor, therefore electricity didn't pass through him. But during the third time, he was a
good conductor, so electricity passed through him freely and he died!!!!!!!!

Ha Ha Ha ha !!!!!!!!

Obviously you gotta revise your science chapter on Electricity ???

OK, OK....Relax.....No violence please...!!!!!!

Women have strengths that amaze men.

They bear hardships and they carry burdens,

but they hold happiness, love and joy.

They smile when they want to scream.

They sing when they want to cry.

They cry when they are happy

and laugh when they are nervous.

They fight for what they believe in.

They stand up to injustice.

They don't take "no" for an answer

when they believe there is a better solution.

They go without so their family can have.

They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.

They love unconditionally.

They cry when their children excel

and cheer when their friends get awards.

They are happy when they hear about

a birth or a wedding.

Their hearts break when a friend dies.

They grieve at the loss of a family member,

yet they are strong when they

think there is no strength left.

They know that a hug and a kiss

can heal a broken heart.

Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors.

They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you

to show how much they care about you.

The heart of a woman is what

makes the world keep turning.

They bring joy, hope and love.

They have compassion and ideas.

They give moral support to their

family and friends.

Women have vital things to say

and everything to give.

HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN,

IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.
