The following are actual statements found on automobile insurance claim forms where drivers attempted to summarize the details of accident in the fewest possible words.
1. Coming home I drove into the wrong house and collided with a tree I dont have.
2. The other car collided with mine without giving me warning of its intention.
3. I thought my window was down but I found it was up when I put my head through it.
4. A pedestrian hit me and went under my car.
5. The guy was all over the road, I had to swerve several times before I hit him.
6. To avoid hitting the bumper of the car in front, I struck a pedestrian.
7. I had been driving for 40 years when I fell asleep at the wheel and had an accident.
8. An invisible car came out from nowhere, struck my car and vanished.
9. I told the police that I was not injured, but on removing my hat, I found that I had a fractured skull.
10. The pedestrian had no idea which direction to run, so I ran over him.
11. I was thrown from my car as it left the road. I was later found in a ditch by some stray cows.
12. The accident was caused by me waving to the man I hit last week.
13. I knocked over a man. He admitted it was his fault as he had been knocked over before.
HE DOESN'T KNOW JACK A carjacker upset by his noisy neighbors in Bonita Springs, Fla., drove to the sheriff's office in a car he had recently carjacked to report the disturbance.
JUST HANGING OUT A man entered a sandwich shop in Hendersonville, N.C., wearing a mask over his face and a pair of very baggy pants. When he tried to get to the cash register, he fell over a counter, then ran out of the restaurant empty-handed. Then, as he tried to climb over a fence, his baggy pants got caught on a fence post, leaving him hanging upside down until the police arrived and unsnagged him.
THEY'LL NEVER TAKE AWAY MY FREEDUMB A Romanian man who spent 11 years in his basement trying to avoid an eight-year jail sentence has been arrested. The man, 31, said, "I hid under the house and went out only a few times for food supplies."
IDIOT OF THE WEEK In Lowell, Mass., police asked a man being arrested for driving without a license if there was anything he wanted to take with him to the station, at which point he went to the trunk of his car to retrieve a bag of marijuana.
SO LONG, SUCKERS! A man in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, pulled the pin on a hand grenade and used it to demand pills from a drug dealer. He was given the drugs, then quickly put the grenade in his pocket and headed outside toward his motorcycle but never made it. He forgot to put the pin back into the grenade.
WE'LL TAKE THAT AS A "NO" In Ashland, Mass., two 20-year-olds walking past a home where a police department party was being held walked up to the door, produced an array of drugs and asked the hosts if anyone there "wanted to get high."
OK, MAYBE WE BOTH HAVE A POINT Two men stabbed each other in Pomona, Calif., in an argument over which of their two alcoholic beverages tasted better.
TRADITIONAL ECONOMICS You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull. Your herd multiplies and the economy grows. You retire on the income.
CHINESE ECONOMICS You have two cows. you have 300 people milking them. You claim full employment, high bovine productivity and arrest anyone reporting the actual numbers.
INDIAN ECONOMICS You have two cows. You worship them.
PAKISTAN ECONOMICS You don't have any cows. You claim that the Indian cows belong to you. You ask the US for financial aid, China for military aid, Britain for warplanes, Italy for machines, Germany for technology, France for submarines, Switzerland for loans, Russia for drugs and Japan for equipment. You buy the cows with all this and claim of exploitation by the world.
AMERICAN ECONOMICS You have two cows. You sell one and force the other to produce the milk of four cows. You profess surprise when the cow drops dead. You put the blame on some nation with cows & naturally that nation will be a danger to mankind. You wage a war to save the world and grab the cows.
FRENCH ECONOMICS You have two cows. You go on strike because you want three cows.

SWISS ECONOMICS You have 5000 cows, none of which belong to you. You charge others for storing them.

RUSSIAN ECONOMICS You have two cows. You count them and learn you have five cows. You count them again and learn you have 42 cows. You count them again and learn you have 17 cows. You give up counting and open another bottle of vodka.
MALAYSIAN ECONOMICS You have two cows. You slaughter one for Hari Raya Puasa and the other for Hari Raya Haji. Just before that, both the cows were wandering along the PLUS Highways.

I sometimes wonder why some men bother responding to profiles when they obviously dont have the guts to be clear as to what they seek.
Today i received a mail from someone and all it said was 'hi I will be in KL on end October'. Who cares where you will be end of october or anytime. He does not even say, I would like to meet you or anything to that effect. Just where he will be, so my reply to him was a simple
'so'
I mean, so what if you're in KL end of october, what am I suppose to do about it.
I think men need to learn how to respond to profiles that you are interested in. Some men dont bother providing any details in their profile and all the relevant criterias are answered as 'will tell you later'. And they still have the cheek to respond to profiles without providing any details about themself, such as where they are from, what they do, their marital status and what they are seeking. Do these men really think women are so desperate that they would jump at the opportunity to get to know someone who does not provide any details about himself. Im sure no woman wants to get involved with some serial killer or rapist. Before we even reply your mail, we would expect to know your personal details and what exactly you seek.
As a woman I have never responded to any profiles, I only reply those who respond to my profile. I dont know if other women here would make the first move, but I would never as most men here and on most dating sites seem so secretive and do not want to reveal anything in their profiles. Even then I would reply mails from those who have providing sufficient information to help me decide if I would want to meet that person. If a man does not have the guts to tell me the truth about himself, then he is just not worth my time.
I have been very honest and straightfoward in my profile and yes it does irritate me when I receive stupid mails like that. It only gives the impression that either the person is stupid or does not understand simple english. Pardon my bluntness but I think its something that has to be said. Many men do not even bother to read profiles, especially if there is a photo attached, they respond based on how attractive they find the photo. Well guys let me tell you something, if a woman has stated very clearly in her profile what she is seeking and if you do not meet her criteria, what makes you think you are going to have a chance if you mail her. The only thing you are doing is to irritate her and let her assume that you are stupid as she has been clear what she is seeking.
The reason a person take the trouble to write a profile in detail is because she does not want to receive unecessary mails from men who is not what she is seeking, so please get that in your head.
Whether its a man or woman, please read a persons full profile before responding and dont waste their time if you do not meet what they are seeking.
This post has reference to my pervious post, 'Have you Ever been Stood Up?'
How often have we told someone we don't want to meet that we are busy. I guess many of us are guilty of doing that. I for one always believe that if I dont want to see or meet someone, I would rather tell him directly then give excuses. I know sometimes that may seem rude, but rather that let the person think or believe that he has a chance, I would rather put an end to it immediately.
For those who go into the chat room, Im sure you would have noticed some claiming to be busy, yet they would be practically the whole day in the chat room. If someone were that busy, how could he/she be in the chat room the whole day, even during working hours. That only says one thing, that the person has got no work to do or is neglecting their work to chat in the room instead. If only their bosses knew what they were paying these irresponsible staff to do..lol
Recently I observed a conversation in a chat room on another site. Now although Im not a person who would normally visit a chat room, sometimes I do go in just for a while to see whats going on, A woman there asked a man if they could meet for drinks and the guy answers that he is not sure as he will be busy. Does that mean during that period he is not going to have time to eat, sleep, rest, or relax. I find it really kinda rediculous for anyone to say they are busy for such a long period. If its a particular day and he says, im busy today or on that day, I can understand, but to claim to be busy for a long period of time and indefinetly, is a whole load of bull. I think that woman should have realised that the guy didn't think she was important enough to find time to have a drink with her on any one day, not that she specified any particular date but just that they meet for a drink.
I always believe that if we feel something or someone is important enough, we will make the time for that something or someone. A gentleman is one who when he makes an appointment with someone will ensure he will keep it unless of course there is an unforseen reason which should be a good reason, such as someone being sick or passed away. I dont think any other reason is good enough to break an appointment. Don't make an appointment if you are not sure about it.
If a guy asks me out and he is someone I would like to spend time with, no matter what I will make the time for him, but if he is not someone I enjoy being with, I would rather be at home doing nothing than going out with him. And if someone I dont enjoy being with ask me out, I would tell them straight that Im sorry but I don't want to go out with him. Of course I would put it in a nice and polite way. I wouldn't use the excuse of being busy if I dont want to meet someone, after all I don't think its anyones business what Im doing. I don't think I need to give explanations to anyone for declining their invitation. I rather be honest about it so he does not have any future hopes of being with me. I think the worst thing we can do to anyone is to give them hope knowing there is none. As it makes it harder to accept the longer the person has to wait to know he is never going to have a chance. Why let him get deeper into it thinking there is hope.
If anyone were to break an appointment with me without a very good and valid reason, there is no way I would ever accept another invitation from him. If a person thinks that Im not important enough to keep his appointment with me, then I dont think he is important enough for me to waste my time with him.
Yesterday, I met up with a female friend at the Dome in Bangsar Shopping Complex (a cafe/restaurant in Kuala Lumpur). It had been sometime since we met. Actually I planned to spend the evening at home but she called and asked to meet. We discussed many issues and exchanged experiences, one of which was being stood up.
I guess Ive been lucky that I've never been stood up before, but if I was, I would never agree to meet the person ever again.
Anyway, this friend of mine was telling me about some of the men she had met on a site called Passion.com (which probably many members here may also be a member there), of which most turned out to be losers and just looking for a quick and free fxxx. She was telling me that she would normally make the guys take her out for dinner and drinks first a few times before she would even consider having sex with them, and mind you the dinners she makes them take her too are not cheap, some even costing RM1,000 above as she orders expensive food like lobsters and champagne. I told her that that is one thing Ive not learnt to do, and in fact even when a guy takes me out to dinner, I try to take the cheapest dish on the menu as I always seem to have a guilty concious if I make a person spend too much......I guess I should change that, after all my time is worth it.
Anyway, Going back to being stood up, she mentioned about this one guy who actually asked her to meet him at some cheap food stalls at 8pm in the evening. Of course she was pissed as she felt he was being really cheap. Apparently this guy also had the tendency to be vulgar when talking to a woman. However at 7.30pm he called and said he can't make it. This made her even more angry and she decided to teach this guy a lesson. The next time he called, she agreed to meet him but suggested Starbucks at The Weld as she knew the waiters/waitresses so it would be easy for her to check if he did go there. She made an appointment with him and did not bother to go, instead she was doing stuff at home. She then called up the starbucks and asked the waiter if the said guy was there, of course she described him, and the waiter told her, yeah he was and he was looking at every girl passing by..
After making him wait for more than 2 hours there, she finally answered his numerous calls which was previously ignored and told him that she had waited for him there a long time and he did not show up so she left for Bangsar Shopping Complex. He told her he was there, and after arguing about who did not show up, she told him to go over to Bangsar Shopping Complex as she had some work there and had to go there. Of course she did make him believe that he would be getting sex. Anyway she agreed to meet him in the Dome, and this time, she did go to the complex but stayed out of sight. She then called him and asked him if he is there and he said yes, so she told him to wave his hands in the air so she could recognize him...hahaha...imagine he probably looked like a mad man waving his hands in the air. My friend noticed a girl in a red dress sitting alone in the Dome, so she told him that was her. As she was watching from afar, the guy went up to the girl in the red dress, and she assumes that the guy must have greeted her in a vulgar manner as what he normally does, and apparently the girl gave him a slap....
I laughed so much when I heard that, but I told her he deserved it and although I probably would never do such a thing to a man, Im glad she did that to him and that he deserved it. Men who make appointments and cancel at the last minute or don't show up deserve to be taught such lessons.
I know some men may say that there are women too who don't show up, but then if they decide to do the same, I would also say the woman deserve it too.
Anyway for guys amd women out there who make a habit of not showing up or cancelling at the last minute, beware who the man/woman is, if she is my friend or anyone like my friend, don't think you would get away with it that easily. And don't complain if you're taught a good lesson as I think its rude to make an appointment and cancel unless its really something very unforseen such as sickness or death of a close one. No other excuse is acceptable, well at least not to me.
An Englishman, an Irishman and a Scotsman were sitting in a bar, drinking, and discussing how stupid their wives were.
The Englishman says, "I tell you, my wife is so stupid. Last week she went to the supermarket and bought $300 worth of meat because it was on sale, and we don't even have a fridge to keep it in."
The Scotsman agrees that she sounds pretty thick, but says his wife is thicker. "Just last week, she went out and spent $17,000 on a new car," he laments, "and she doesn't even know how to drive!"
The Irishman nods sagely, and agrees that these two woman sound like they both walked through the stupid forest and got hit by every branch.
However, he still thinks his wife is dumber. "Ah, it kills me everytime I think of it," he chuckles. "My wife left to go on a trip to Greece. I watched her packing her bag, and she must have put about 100 condoms in there and she doesn't even have a pexxx!"
