Thought for the day: Engineers like to solve problems. If there are no problems handily available, they will create their own problems. …Scott Adams

Now, the third one, I understand, but, the first two, in school? And, that too, like they’re advertising for paint and crayons and notebooks(Paper ones)??

Continuing the crank-list from the previous post, here’s the second one.
We have this 24-hrs supermarket downstairs. And, there’s this lady who totals up the bill on the cash register, and whatever amount you give, she asks for ‘change’. I decided to ensure she doesn’t ask yesterday, I went, with 4 coins of 1 AED each, to meet any eventuality, and, what do you know? The bill was AED 19.50/, so she wants 50 fils change. If there was a currency shortage, I wouldn’t mind, but, the cash registers got more change than I’ve seen in any other supermarket, most of the time. As I said, on some days, the cranks are really out to see how they can bug me.
-------
Speaking of supermarkets, most of them here, have the veggie section right next to the non-veggie. So, I can’t help but pass by the fishy section, when going to the veggie one. Seeing the sad wide open(I think) eyes of the fishes, I wonder what their last thoughts were when they were caught? I think they’d say ‘Oh, and we trusted you humans that you were feeding us good food, not hooking us by using a worm’- hence, their eyes remain shell-shocked, just like in one of our horror movies, where the killer leaves the victim astonished in death.
--------
Still on the fauna kingdom, I wonder what pigeons feed on here? I’ve been lucky enough so far, not to get fully splattered by their, err, droppings, when out for my morning walk, but, when I look at the ground, it’s like someone dropped a big raw egg on the ground. Compare this with our Indian pigeons and their droppings are not so bad(Good?)- easily flicked off using a handkerchief or a tissue. Perhaps they’re also fast food fanatics?
--------
Do you have a desk job? Do you feel exhausted by the end of the day?
No, this is not an ad for Panadol. It’s just something I was wondering today, the middle of the week.
Perhaps the problem is your posture. I checked today, and, whew- the stress on the neck muscles could really be felt, when I put my fingers on the,err, neck- side. The muscles were so taut, that it explained the feeling of zapped-out-edness at the end of the day. Another is the distance of the monitor from your eyes, yet another is the way the monitor is, vis-à-vis your head. If you can tilt the monitor, it’s great. Of course, the less said about office chairs, the better. I’ve yet to see a nice, ergonomically designed chair, which does not make your back suffer. Sometimes I think these chair makers and the local doctors are in cahoots. You know, you modify the chair, I’ll get more patients, and we settle 50-50.

End-jokes:
Judge: Why did you hit your husband with a chair?

"Has there been any insanity in your family?""Yes, doctor. My husband thinks he's the boss."----
"My wife doesn't know what she wants."" You're lucky. My wife does."

That lady in supermarket is hillarious :) I hate when I pay for something and they always ask for change. Hello?! When you have a shop or restaurant, you should prepare change ... not everybody will bring change.
