Un-United Africa at African Union Summit?

Looks like the United States of Africa won't unite after all. As Muammar Gaddafi brought the matter up at the African Union Summit, held at Accra of Ghana, to be discussed or even hope for it to be voted upon, he can continue to dream about it till the cow comes home. Gaddafi has called for the immediate establishment of a single government, foreign policy and army. That's too much to ask for, isn't it?

Some of the feedback on the integrated idea:-
Uganda - backed economic integration but said Africa was too diverse for one government.

Senegal - backed the plans and said a breakaway group could be formed.

Kenya - expressed doubts.

Lesotho - expressed doubts.

Zimbabwe - unity was vital to make the continent truly independent of the West.

Ghana - the question of unifying Africa was not in doubt, but the key issue was how to attain it.

AU Commission - Africans needed to "take the bull by the horns and move towards a new country - Africa".

Rastafarian Dog

What kind of dog is this? Just like a mop. Guarantee it will frighten the daylight out of the children....haha...maybe some adults too.

It's the Rastafarian breed.
One possible reason for this name could be linked to the word "dreadlock". It's just like the unique hairstyle.
If you read Rastafarian in Wikipedia, it will give more references of what Rastafarian is all about.

The Parrot

A woman went to a pet shop & immediately spotted a large, beautiful parrot..

There was a sign on the cage that said $50.00.

"Why so little," she asked the pet store owner.

The owner looked at her and said, "Look, I should tell you first that this bird used to live in a house of Prostitution and sometimes it says some pretty vulgar stuff."

The woman thought about this, but decided she had to have the bird any way.

She took it home and hung the bird's cage up in her living room and waited for it to say something.

The bird looked around the room, then at her, and said, "New house, new madam."

The woman was a bit shocked at the implication, but then thought "that's really not so bad."

When her 2 teenage daughters returned from school the bird saw and said, "New house, new madam, new girls."

The girls and the woman were a bit offended but then began to laugh about the situation considering how and where the parrot had been raised.

Moments later, the woman's husband Keith came home from work.

The bird looked at him and said, "Hi, Keith!"

Legs

A college student needed a small two-hour course to fill his schedule and the only one available was wildlife Zoology.

After one week, a test was held. The professor passed out a sheet of paper divided into four squares. In each square was a carefully drawn picture of a bird's legs. No bodies, no feet, just legs. The test asked each student to identify the birds from their legs. The student sat and stared at the test getting angrier every minute.

Finally he stomped up to the front of the classroom and threw the test on the teacher's desk. "This is the worst test I have ever given." The teacher looked up and said: "Young man, you have flunked the test.

What's your name?"

The student pulled up his pant to the knee showing his legs and said:

"You tell me..."

Hunky Customer Triggers Catfight

When I read the article title, was saying to myself "it cannot be that a handsome bloke caused ladies to fight over him". True enough as reported in Star newspaper:-

"KUALA TERENGGANU: A man, who reportedly looked like a Bollywood actor, walked into a food court for a teh tarik and triggered a brawl among three women that left one woman scalded and another woman's T-shirt ripped open.

Several chairs and tables were damaged during the fight among the women at the outlet in Merega Beris in Kijal, Kemaman on Saturday. The shocked man fled the scene.

It all began when the man walked in alone. Two women at two separate stalls immediately tried to get his attention and lure him over to their stalls. When he stopped to speak with one of the women, her competitor, 21, became so incensed that she marched over to the woman, tore her T-shirt and accused her of being gatal and dressing seductively.

The other woman, 22, immediately grabbed a pan and splashed her attacker with hot water, scalding her. The scalded woman's mother, 46, rushed to her daughter's aid, hurling chairs at her assailant, damaging tables and alarming the other customers, said state Deputy CID Chief Supt Khairi Ahrasa yesterday. He said the scalded woman was now warded at the Kemaman Hospital."

Understanding Job Requirements

At times when you go through the classified ads to look for a job, you really wonder what do they mean by publishing in that in the ads. Here are some of the 'jargon', picked up from Nessa's Mumblings, used by the Human Resource fraternity:-

- "Competitive Salary" - We remain competitive by paying less than our competitors.
- "Join Our Fast Paced Company" - We have NO time to train you.
- "Casual Work Atmosphere" - We don't pay enough to expect that you will dress up.
- "Must be Deadline Oriented" - You will be six months behind schedule on your first day.
- "Some Overtime Required" - Some time each night, some time each weekend.
- "Duties will Vary" - Anyone in the office can boss you around.
- "Must have an eye for Detail" - We have no quality control.
- "Seeking Candidates with a Wide Variety of Experience" - You will need to replace three people who just left.
- "Problem Solving Skills a Must" - You are walking into a company in perpetual chaos. Haven't heard a word from anyone out there. Your first task is to find out what is going on.
- "Requires Team Leadership Skills" - You will have the responsibilities of a manager without the pay or respect.
- "Good Communication Skills" - Management communicates poorly, so you have to figure out what they want and do it.

You think you meet the above criterias?

Obedient Wife

There was a man who had worked all of his life, had saved all of his money, and was a real miser when it came to his money. Just before he died, he said to his wife, "When I die, I want you to take all my money and put it in the casket with me. I want to take my money to the after life with me."

And so he got his wife to promise him with all of her heart that when he died she would put all of the money in the casket with him. Well, he died.He was stretched out in the casket, his wife was sitting there in black, and her friend was sitting next to her.

When they finished the ceremony, just before the undertakers got ready to close the casket, the wife said, "Wait just a minute!"She had a box with her, she came over with the box and put it in the casket. Then the undertakers locked the casket down and they rolled it away. So her friend said, "Girl, I know you weren't fool enough to put all that money in there with your husband."

The loyal wife replied, "Listen, I'm a Christian, I can't go back on my word. I promised him that I was going to put that money in that casket with him." "You mean to tell me you put that money in the casket with him?"

"I sure did," said the wife. "I got it all together, put it into my account and wrote him a check. If he can cash it, he can spend it.
