Anger Management

A story of Anger Management between a Husband and a Wife.

HUSBAND: When I get mad at you, you never fight back. How do you control your anger?

WIFE : I clean the toilet....

HUSBAND: How does that help ?

WIFE : I use your toothbrush.....


Have you ever watched the movie called Anger Management starring Jack Nicholson and Adam Sandler (highly recommended movie). The scenarios in the movie is just like the above story between the husband and wife and more of it. I would have flipped.
It's not easy handling anger as even an Anger Management Instructor couldn't control himself too. This man, in Gary City, was arrested with domestic battery on his wife.

Dolce & Gabbana Gold

Dolce & Gabbana - famous for their clothings and apparels' with strong appeals from the sophisticated, yuppies and juniors.

Cashing in on their famous brand, D&G capitalised it by opening a luxury restaurant bearing the name Dolce & Gabbana Gold in Milan, the fashion capital of Italy.
At the entrance, the reception area would have captured your heart with its unique design which blended with D&G's business.
The restaurant section with its splendour wine collection for your choosing. It offers Italian cuisine with Mediterranean tradition. Service is impeccable.
You could also relax at its bistro section for light snacks.
Coffee room, a place where you can taste your favourite beverages.
The Lounge - your favourite drinks for the night are found here.
D&G's brand management has brought their brand into other industries for e.g. telecommunicaton as it has co-branded with Motorola to produce the RAZR D&G mobile phone.
Looks like the fashion industry are diversifying real fast especially into the luxury fashion hotel segment. Armani's boutique hotel will open at the world's tallest building, Burj Dubai. Versace & Bulgari brands have their own boutique hotels too.

Top Idiots

Idiot # 1
I am a medical student currently doing a rotation in toxicology at the poison control center. Today, this woman called in very upset because she caught her little daughter eating ants. I quickly reassured her that the ants are not harmful and there would be no need to bring her daughter into the hospital.

She calmed down, and at the end of the conversation happened to mention that she gave her daughter some ant poison to eat in order to kill the ants. I told her that she better bring her daughter into the Emergency room right away.
Here's your sign lady. Wear it with pride.

------------------------------------------
Idiot # 2
Seems that a year ago, some Boeing employees on the airfield decided to steal a life raft from one of the 747s. They were successful in getting it out of the plane and home.

When they took it for a float on the river, a Coast Guard helicopter coming towards them surprised them. It turned out that the chopper was homing in on the emergency locator beacon that activated when the raft was inflated.

They are no longer employed at Boeing. Here's your sign guys. Don't get it wet, the paint might run.

------------------------------------------
Idiot # 3 - A true story out of San Francisco
A man, wanting to rob a downtown Bank of America, walked into the branch and wrote "This is a stick up. Put all your muny in this bag."

While standing in line, waiting to give his note to the teller, he began to worry that someone had seen him write the note and might call the police before he reached the teller's window. So he left the Bank of America and crossed the street to Wells Fargo.

After waiting a few minutes in line, he handed his note to the Wells Fargo teller. She read it and, surmising from his spelling errors that he wasn't the brightest light in the harbor, told him that she could not accept his stickup note because it was written on a Bank of America deposit slip and that he would either have to fill out a Wells Fargo deposit slip or go back to Bank of America.
Looking somewhat defeated, the man said, "OK" and left. He was arrested a few minutes later, as he was waiting in line back at Bank of America.
Don't bother with this guy's sign. He probably couldn't read it anyway.

------------------------------------------
Idiot # 4
A motorist was unknowingly caught in an automated speed trap that measured his speed using radar and photographed his car. He later received in the mail a ticket for $40 and a photo of his car.

Instead of payment, he sent the police department a photograph of $40. Several days later, he received a letter from the police that contained another picture, this time of handcuffs.

He immediately mailed in his $40.
Another sign (though this guy might be onto something worth thinking about)!

Rich Man's Hobby - Beneath the Sea

Rich men (this is referring to multi-billionaires) have hobbies too. I have heard of one who likes polo so much that he brought in 8 thoroughbred horses from Argentina (the best). In a polo game, you need 8 players to play a game. In this way, he gets to enjoy his hobby with his pals who may not have the resources to get a horse.

Some prefer to have their own executive jets, some would prefer having a large property, some would go for exotic food in one night or go for a luxury holiday.

But I found an unusual hobby this time. Ever heard of people owning a submarine which was also used to entertain guests? Roman Abramovich could be interested in it too. There are a few luxury submarine makers which could meet the rich men's taste, namely U.S. Submarines (USA) and Exomos (UAE). Who are their customers? Both builders have to sign a "keep it a secret agreement" to ensure secrecy.

U.S. Submarine's ultimate sub is the Phoenix 1000 - ultimate personal transportation device, 65 meters (213 ft.) in length with 470 square meters (5000 sq. ft.) of interior space on 4 levels.

The CEO of Exomos said that a luxury submarine of a 10-passenger sub could costs up to $15 million (mid size - US$25 million). The submarine could be 3-story-tall with five staterooms, five bathrooms, two kitchens, a gym, a wine cellar and an observation portal measuring 30 feet long by 15 feet wide, or 9 meters long by 5 wide. It has a range of 3,000 nautical miles.
