No Salesman

Last Saturday, I was at this restaurant called Jimmy's Place, located at a few doors away from CIMB Bank-Taman Connaught Branch. We were to celebrate 3 friends' birthday at one go. We called it Economies of Scale. At the entrance of the restaurant, I noticed a few stickers with certain things not allowed to be brought in.

To our astonishment, we have to sneaked in one of the birthday friends as he was a sales manager. Why do we need to? Just look at the sign below "No Salesman".

American History

It was the first day of school and a new student named Chandrashekhar Subrahmanyam entered the fourth grade. The teacher said, "Let's begin by reviewing some American History

Who said "Give me Liberty , or give me * *Death"? She saw a sea of blank faces, except for Chandrashekhar, who had his hand up: "Patrick Henry, 1775" he said.

"Very good!" Who said "Government of the People, by the People, for the People, shall not perish from the Earth?" Again no response except from Chandrashekhar. "Abraham Lincoln, 1863" said Chandrashekhar. The teacher snapped at the class, "Class, you should be ashamed. Chandrashekhar, who is new to our country, knows more! about its history than you do"

She heard a loud whisper: "F*** the Indians, "Who said that?" she demanded. Chandrashekhar put his hand up. "General Custer, 1862"

At that point, a student in the back said, "I'm gonna puke" The teacher glares around and asks "All right! Now, who said that?" Again, Chandrashekhar says, "George Bush to the Japanese Prime Minister, 1991".

Now furious, another student yells, "Oh yeah? S*** this!" Chandrashekhar jumps out of his chair waving his hand and shouts to the teacher, "Bill Clinton,to Monica Lewinsky, 1997!"

Now with almost mob hysteria someone said "You little shit. If you say anything else, I'll kill you" Chandrashekhar frantically yells at the top of his voice, "Gary Condit to Chandra Levy, 2001"

The teacher fainted. And as the class gathered around the teacher on the floor, someone said, "Oh shit, we're f*****!" And Chandrashekhar said quietly, "George Bush, Iraq , 2005.....

Racial Bias Suit

What if you were discriminated against as in by-passed over for promotion, payed less than certain group of workers and treated unfairly in evaluation and disciplinary proceedings.

A legal suit is your solution! Some 20,000 people will benefit from a legal suit when the court instructs FedEx Express to pay a settlement sum of US$53.5m for those who are working for or those who have worked for FedEx since 1999 in the states of California, Washington, Utah and Hawaii. Specifically, the African-American and Hispanic workers were racially discriminated. This worked out to a sum of US$2,675 per person. (source: Reuters)

Wondering whether such racial bias suit could be brought up in Malaysian courts. Of course, you will need the expertise of such litigation firm, Altshuler Berzon LLP, from USA in bringing such class suit. Don't think any legal firms in Malaysia will jeopardise their business future fighting for such justice.

Nail House

Another case of 'Nail House' as they call it in China. It's just like a nail that was nailed hard into a big piece of wood, noticeable and stands out. Did post about other nail houses in other parts of China too.This 6-storey villa located in Shenzhen, is in middle of a construction site and the owner is from Hong Kong who is waiting for more compensation before moving out even though had been ordered to move. Initial compensation is 5.06 million yuan and they were demanding for 14 million yuan now. The owner said that the new value reflected the current market value. On the other hand, the land actually belonged to the owner but in 1992, new laws being implemented changed the land's status to state-owned. (source: Simon World)

Bible Book - An Assault Item?

A prison guard has been suspended from work pending further investigation and shall appear in court on 26 April to answer a charge under the criminal law. His charge - using a Bible to assault a prisoner in the Blue Earth County Jail located in Mankato of Minnesota, USA.

In a humourous saying, the guard was trying to drive the Bible's teaching through the prisoner's head ...... hehehe
