Two elderly couples were enjoying friendly conversation when one of the men asked the other, "Fred, how was the memory clinic you went to last month?"

"Outstanding," Fred replied. "They taught us all the latest psychological techniques - visualization, association - it's made a big difference for me."

"That's great! What was the name of that clinic?" Fred went blank. He thought and thought but couldn't remember. Then a smile broke across his face and he asked, "What do you call that flower with the long stem and thorns?"

"You mean a rose?"

"Yes, that's it!" He turned to his wife. "Rose, what was the name of that clinic?"

I saw an RAC van parked by the roadside this morning, the driver was sobbing uncontrollably and was looking extremely miserable.
I thought to myself 'that guy is heading for a breakdown'

Did I hear a groan or two 
never mind

I'm moving to Seoul soon
I thought it would be a good Korea move

Thank you Ma and Pa for starting my day with a smile!

A young engineer who graduated with distinction, was just about to leave his office at 3.45 p.m. when he found the Acting CEO of the company standing in front of a shredder machine with a piece of paper in his hand.

"Listen," said the Acting CEO, "this is a very sensitive and important piece of paper, and my secretary is not here. Can you make this thing work?"

"Certainly," said the young engineer. He turned the power to the shredding machine ON, pressed the START button and inserted the paper.

"Oh that's excellent, excellent young man!" said the Acting CEO as his paper disappeared inside the shredder, "I just need one copy."

Lesson: Never, ever assume that the CEO knows what he's doing
