A Doctor was addressing a large audience in Tampa .  'The
material we put
	 into our stomachs is enough to have killed most of us sitting
here, years
	 ago. Red meat is awful.  Soft drinks corrode your stomach
lining.  Chinese
	 food is loaded with MSG.  High fat diets can be disastrous, and
none of us
	 realizes the long-term harm caused by the germs in our drinking
water.
	 However, there is one thing that is the most dangerous of all
and we all
	 have eaten, or will eat it. Can anyone here tell me what food it
is that
	 causes the most grief and suffering for years after eating it?'
After
	 several seconds of quiet, a 75-year-old man in the front row
raised his
	 hand, and softly said, 'Wedding Cake.'

Female carpark bully:

If I can 'chope' seat with tissue, I can 'chope' parking lot

 

 

STOMPer Sadpanda wanted to reverse into an available lot at VivoCity's carpark, but was stunned to find a woman standing in the middle of it. 

He signalled to tell her he was reversing, but was shocked to be told that the lot was reserved for her husband. 

John tells STOMP: 

¡°Yesterday (Dec 14), I arrived at the VivoCity¡¯s carpark just before 7pm and found a nice lot near the lift lobby. I wanted to reverse in but there was this woman standing in the lot. 

¡°She appeared to be texting someone on her phone so I signalled my intention to reverse into the lot and even lowered my window to let her know I was coming in. 

¡°She told me to park elsewhere as she was 'chope-ing' the lot for her husband who was on his way.

 

"Dumbfounded, I told her, "You can't do that". 

¡°First come first serve. She told me off and said she can. 

"Her justification to me was that, "If I can chope seat in a foodcourt with a tissue packet, I can chope a parking lot."

¡°Moments later, her husband finally arrived in his blue Suzuki swift. 

"As I was in a half-parked position since his wife was standing in the lot, he stopped in the middle of the driveway, came out of the car, took stock of the situation and waved me along, asking me to find another lot since his wife came first. 

¡°I said "No way! How can anyone do this? And get away with it?" To which he even dared to say, "Surely you have seen people do this before?" 

¡°I told him that they were being unreasonable. He denied being so and said instead that I was the one being unreasonable. He accused ME of being ¡°kiasu¡± and should instead go look for another lot. We argued for a few minutes, passers-by came and went and eventually cars started to pile up behind and were honking.

¡°Cursing my own damn luck to meet this couple, I swallowed my pride and moved off so as not to obstruct traffic. I did find a lot after I moved off and gladly parked in it. 

¡°As I walked to the lobby, I caught sight of the couple and went towards them, demanding an apology. They shoo-ed me off and warned me of harassing them, even threatening to call the police. I told them they epitomised the true blue ugly Singaporean to which he answered, "Sorry to disappoint you but I'm not Singaporean". 

"Obviously a crowd of curious shoppers took notice. He showed me the middle finger and shouted vulgarities at me. 

¡°How can people get away with such thing? Have we lost total decency and decorum?¡± 

Do you think it is all right for people to reserve lots this way? Tell us.

A Christmas Story for people having a bad day:

When four of Santa's elves got sick, the trainee elves did not produce
toys as fast as the regular ones, and Santa began to feel the
Pre-Christmas pressure.

Then Mrs Claus told Santa her Mother was coming to visit, which stressed
Santa even more.

When he went to harness the reindeer, he found that three of them were
about to give birth and two others had jumped the fence and were out,
Heaven knows where.

Then when he began to load the sleigh, one of the floorboards cracked,
the toy bag fell to the ground and all the toys were scattered.

Frustrated, Santa went in the house for a cup of apple cider and a shot
of rum. When he went to the cupboard, he discovered the elves had drank
all the cider and hidden the rum. In his frustration, he accidentally
dropped the cider jug, and it broke into hundreds of little glass pieces
all over the kitchen floor. He went to get the broom and found the mice
had eaten all the straw off the end of the broom.

Just then the doorbell rang, and irritated Santa marched to the door,
yanked it open, and there stood a little angel with a great big
Christmas tree.
The angel said very cheerfully, 'Merry Christmas, Santa. Isn't this a
lovely day? I have a beautiful tree for you. Where would you like me to
stick it?'

And so began the tradition of the little angel on top of the Christmas
tree.

The 11th Husband....

  A young man married a beautiful woman who had previously divorced 10
husbands.  On their wedding night, she told her new husband to 'Please
be gentle; I'm still a virgin'.

  'What?' said the puzzled groom. 'How can that be if you've been married
ten times.?'

  'Well, husband#1 was a Sales Representative; he kept telling me how
great it was going to be.

'Husband # 2 was in Software Services; he was never really sure how it
was suppose to function; but he said he'd look into it and get back with
me.

  'Husband # 3 was from Field Services; he said that everything checked
out diagnostically but he just couldn't get the system up.

  'Husband # 4 was in Telemarketing; even though he knew he had the
order, he didn't know when he would be able to deliver.

  'Husband # 5 was an Engineer, he understood the basic process but he
wanted three years to research, implement, and design a new state of
the-art method.

  'Husband #6 was from Administration; he thought he knew how but he
wasn't sure whether it was his job or not.

  'Husband # 7 was in Marketing; although he had a product, he was never
sure how to position it.

  'Husband # 8 was a Psychiatrist; all he did was talk about it.

  'Husband # 9 was a Gynecologist; all he did was look at it.

  'Husband # 10 was a Stamp Collector; all he ever did was..... I miss
him.

  'But now that I've married you, I'm so excited'.

  'Wonderful', said the husband, 'but why?

'You're with the 'GOVERNMENT'.. This time I KNOW I'M gonna get screwed.'
