Never argue with a Woman!!!

One morning, a husband returns after several hours of fishing and decides to take a nap. Although not familiar with the lake, his wife decides to take their boat out. She motors out a short distance, anchors and takes out her book.

Along comes a game warden in his boat.

He pulls alongside the woman and says," Good Morning, Ma'am. What are you doing?"

"Reading a book," she reples, thinking, Isn't it obvious?!

"You're in restricted fishing area," he informs her.

"I'm sorry Officer but I'm not fishing, I'm reading."

"Yes, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment. I'll have to take you in and write you up."

"If you do that, I'll have to charge you with sexual assault," says the woman.

"But I haven't touched you, " says the game warden.

"Thats true, but you have all the equipment. For all I know, you could start at any moment."

"Have a nice day, Ma'am," he said and left quickly.



MORAL: NEVER ARGUE WITH A WOMAN WHO READS. ITS LIKELY SHE CAN ALSO THINK!

The Brain

*Not an Original*

The relatives gathered in the waiting room, where their family member lay gravely ill. Finally the doctor came in looking tired and somber.

"I'm afraid I'm the bearer of bad news," he said as he surveyed the worried faces. "The only hope left for your loved one at this time is a brain transplant. Its an experimental procedure, very risky but it is the only hope. Insurance will cover the procedure but you'll have to pay for the brain yourselves..."

The family members sat silent as they absorbed the news. After a great length of time, someone asked, "Well how much does a brain cost?"

The doctor quickly responded, "$5000 for a male brain and $200 for a female brain."

The moment turned awkward. Men in the room tried not to smile, avoiding eye contact with the women, but some actually smirked.

A man unable to control his curiosity, blurted out the quesion everyone wanted to ask....

"Why is the male brain more costly?"

The doctor smiled at the childish innocence and explained to the entire group, "It's just standard pricing procedure. We have to mark down the price of the female brain because they have been actually used."

The Car Starter Diagram

The car won't start!!

Dear All,

Today I faced one of the biggest dilemnas faced the female drivers... I couldn't start the car in the morning... And like any other girls out there, the first thing I did was call my father some 300 km away to tell him about my predicament!!! Poor guy didn't know what to do... I was sort of furious right then and there but right now I feel really sorry for him... Heres me a woman of 28 living away from home and being "independent" but at the slightest trouble I call up the one person who has always been there for me... my Dad!! I think this shows that I'll always be my Daddy's girl no matter how many degrees I get or how much I age.... So heres a salute to you Dad!! Thanks alot for being there for me... And you were right... It was the battery!!!! :)

So coming back to my predicament with the car.... I fiddled around with the wires and the connections to the battery. Checked the water in the battery and just to be sure I put in some pure mineral water... (I was fresh out of distilled water... who keeps the stuff at home anyway!!!) and fiddled around with the engine.... But to no avail. The stubborn car didn't start... And I started feeling really sorry for myself then... Heres me feeling sick and tired (before going to work mind you) and even God is not on my side... The car won't start!!! Look at us mere mortals when faced with the slightest hurdle we start blaming others and feeling sorry for ourselves :( So I just left the car and took a cab to work... Just sitting quietly and refusing to yarn to the driver and thinking things over... Just would like to add that I am an engineer by profession so as per my nature I started itemising the problem in my head. As soon as I reached my office I did a Google search and found alot of interesting articles.. (Usually I can solve problems using Google!!!) Still pondering over my findings I made the Daily Reports and somehow or the other managed to go through the Management Meeting (I was the chairperson) and then I decided to go home and fix the problem... So took a driver, went and bought a battery and upon reaching home my driver, Awadh, being a mechanic just tigtened the battery wires and the car started!!!

(Would like to point out that the existing battery was only 6 months old so I didn't think it'll give me problems... The waranty is for 18 months)

Now you can imagine my embarrassment... But I had to admit that sometimes a man's touch is necessary and that woman can't know everything!!!

So returned the battery and got a refund... Had to explain the entire situation before they would refund so more embarrassing moments....

But more lessons to learn. I did learn about the starter and the battery and the circuit diagram for the starter as well. If you are interested then have a look. It did help me somewhat.

So my friends out there... If you face the same problem that I faced then as a initial step... check and tighen the wires!!! You might fix the problem...

So heres to another lesson learnt the hard way!!!

Time...

Time is something which is in continuous motion.. It never stops for anything or anyone.... I would like to dedicate this one to time... hopefully I might be able to leave my imprint on it someday...

I recently met a friend via email whom I haven't seen in ages... And he introduced me to the world of bloggers.. Said that it had helped him alot. Well I'm trying to see if it does the same for me or not... Maybe I'll make some virtual friends ... Really don't know but would like to at least take that first baby step towards the unknown....
