An Old Joke

This joke was imparted to me around the beginning of the year, but in the spirit of my drunken Sunday evening, here goes (modified):

Storm in a Smirnoff Bottle

I had a rough night last night, and as far as I'm concerned, bad food. I maintain that my self-imposed limit of three alcoholic beverages should not have created what is the worst hangover I've ever had in my entire life, bar none.

Franklin My Dear …

Well, truth is, I do give a damn 🙂

Glass As A Liquid

This is a formal apology to my students of 2005. I made the claim based on research (i.e. I found it on a website) that glass is an extremely viscous liquid, which evidence can be found in old buildings where the glass is thicker at the bottom than the top. Given enough time, it would end up in a puddle.

Road Accident Fund for the poor

Our Finance Minister, Trevor Manuel, has pretty much stated that the Road Accident Fund should not pay out anyone who has a medical aid, if they are involved in an accident.

On the murder of bees

I work with a software engineer who was born in Bulgaria. I say it this way, as he took offence once when I referred to him as "the Bulgarian". Anyway, we have created a tradition of having lunch together quite often, and during these lunches, we discuss many and varied topics of conversation.

Online Storage

Maybe I've fallen for all the conspiracy talk, and maybe I've watched the Terminator movies too often, but I've been keeping my eye on developments from Google since they went public and their stock price went through the roof, and I'm officially worried. Until last week, I was just uneasy.
