Telemarketing

First of all, the number of phone calls you can receive at home from telemarketing agents on a normal working day are a lot more than you can imagine.  

Today I got a particularly interesting call,

A female voice asks - "Sir, would you like to play with me today, its for free", just when I thought this was sounding interesting, she followed it up with, "I am calling on behalf of Euromillions"

Women in the rear view mirror look prettier than they are. 

At the end..

If you live a long and healthy life, you will finally die...

Instruction Manuals

I strongly believe that instruction manuals only kill the element of surprise....

Pigeons

I almost killed a pigeon yesterday, it definitely hit the front of the car - but flew off, later that same afternoon, I was rolling into park at about 5 Km/h and actually flat smashed one pigeon on the road, I of course don't understand how it could not move away, even though to my fault, I should've braked. I can only take solace from the fact that it died on the spot! I also noticed since then that I am seeing a lot more pigeons as road kill at this time of the year, does anyone know what the reason could be? Or are pigeons just normal road kill and I only just started noticing it?

I walked up to my apartment switched on the PC - read about Jane Mcgrath dying. Jane Mcgrath was wife of the famous cricketer Glenn Mcgrath, who is also popularly known as "Pigeon".

Today I checked my favorite comic strip and this is what I got.

Coincidence?

Toujours avec la langue a Paris....

The title of my blog has nothing to do with what I am going to write about, it's just an absurd title because of the absolutely absurd things I am going to write.

1. The wayfarers are back!!
2. What do you do, when you've lived your life in NYC, gone to bed with a young and beautiful Diane Keaton, violated Mia Farrow and then later her daughter, had your way with Scarlett Johansson at some point of time and the media never got wind of it, when you get tired you tour cities like London, Paris and Barcelona playing your clarinet, What do you when you've done all this?? You decide to take the sexiest blonde and the sexiest brunette alive and ask them to get hot and heavy with each other, you take a camera and shoot 'em... and in the process make a few millions? You SIR, are a legend!!
3. Have you ever wondered why the name of the people you like and love are the one's you take liberty to screw around with? The more familiar you get with someone the more botched up their name becomes. How often do couples foresake the use of their partner's name and settle for a lame honey or a darling, hasn't their been some research that once said that "One's own name is the sweetest thing that a person hears".. then why not call the people you are closest to with their names, I am sure they'd like it.

Ok over and out for the moment

Jackpot

Everytime I go to an automated teller machine(ATM) - the bloody thing whirrs and jiggles and crunches around like it's counting 8500 Euros...even when I just asked for 20 or 50.... but at the end it only pumps out what I asked for.

When the hell am I going to win the jackpot it is counting up?? and if I am never going to win it and if no one else has either, then somebody must tell those bloody things to become more efficient and stop wasting their time counting all those extra notes and just do their bloody job and quietly slip out 1 note.

Bastards...

Men and women (again) in the future

I thought of a scenario in the not so distant future, maybe 50-70 years ahead? It doesn't have too many gadgets or robots and flying cars. But what I see is that fewer people will need to submit themselves to societal institutions like marriages and families may look different. (Quick disclaimer: I am sure this has been written documented by someone, someplace else)

I see a state where men and women will choose to have their offspring outsourced - artificial insemination and surrogate mothering will become the norm. It will lead to commercialization of gene pools and probably lead to a more evolved human race.

I discussed this with some people and they are of the opinion that it would lead to more "disturbed" kids who do not know their parents - do not have good parenting, potential to lose the sole parent that they may have. But again these are things looked at in the current set up of our society. In the current set up, don't kids become orphans? Don't kids suffer from disturbances of parents separating?

I think the gradual change could lead to children being more independent sooner, under eager parenting of 1 dedicated parent who is keen to have the child. Society could have a better focus on coaches and teachers who will have a larger part in the upbringing of the new generation of outsourced children.

If the laws are created, a supplier parent could be known to the child and there could be an available set of siblings for the child from the supplier parent's other progeny.

I personally can't see too many problems with this sort of future state of affairs...

Just thinking out aloud... and I think this blog would rate as being too serious

Men and Women

I think if women existed alone on this planet - they would've killed each other. If men existed alone on this planet, they would've killed themselves.
