Just Because....Doesn't Mean...

(Quip for the above pic: That explains your situation at your place of work?In the last word, I removed a 's' in the word 'assh*les* ,for those who didn't comprehend...grin)

Thought for the day: Someone Who thinks logically is a nice contrast to the real world.


Do you feel like giving someone a hug today? You’ve got the perfect excuse. Today is ‘Free Hugs Day’, as per a report in Xpress newspaper here. It’s described as a random act of kindness,a selfless act performed by a person for the sole purpose of making others feel better. Get more info on freehugscampaign.org.
So, to all of you great people out there, big hugs. Have a great, err, huggies day?
Reminds me of the ‘Jaadu ki Jhappi’ from Munnabhai. Amazing, na? As they say, the best things in life are free.
(Incidentally, today is also World Suicide Prevention Day- I guess it can be prevented by giving hugs…hehe)

English quiz question of the day:
Which is this famous phrase:
The person presenting the ultimate cachinnation possesses hereby the optimal cachinnation.
(Hint: What you do usually while reading my posts…(Nee, no dirty thoughts there) )

Do you remember having a silly dialogue(At least I do) from school days, which would be used whenever you were bugged with someone? It would begin with ‘Just Because’ mode, ending with ‘Doesn’t mean you have to’ ..for example:

Just because you have a mouth, doesn’t mean you have to talk.
Just because you have legs, doesn’t mean you have to run.
Just because you have a good body, doesn’t mean you have to run around half-n*de.(Well, that one wasn’t in school days. LOL).

That reminds me, I keep thinking of asking people out here in Dubai a similar question:
Just because you see a hole in the ground, doesn’t mean it’s a dustbin. I mean, whether it’s a nicely dug plot, where the Municipality’s planted a sapling, of, some underground works being done by the Municipality, or, even our company’s small landscaped garden outside, it seems like the sight of dirt attracts people, making them do all sorts of dumping and face washing.

Like, last week, I was waiting in our co vehicle outside, when suddenly, one guy drives up, stops near our garden, takes out a water bottle and proceeds to wash his face while standing in the grass. Then, suddenly conscious that I was about to get out and reprimand him, he hurriedly got into his car and drove off.

Or, take the small sapling plots I mentioned- during my morning walk, I see paper glasses(With their bit of tea still dripping out), coke/pepsi cans, nappies, newspapers, water bottles, etc. Many a times, there’ll be an empty municipality dustbin right next to the hole, but, still, the stuff will only go into the hole. Will someone please explain what mental thought processes go into doing this action?

Now, in India, I know, there are people who like to enter manholes and sing about Radio Mirchi, as also, people who can’t resist the urge to purge, as soon as they see a hole and no one about, but, then, there’s hardly any fines there, in our fine democracy, so, people tend to do what others do, who also do what others do, who also….

Today’s cartoon in Beetle Bailey gave me the first grin of the day.
Sarge is trying to convince Beetle to get up from his bed.
Beetle says:
Rip Van Winkle became famous for sleeping.
Hens produce eggs when they lay.
Laziness prevents tiredness.
Good ideas get better if we sleep on them.
The best bread is made from good load.
At the end, Sarge has fallen asleep. Beetle says’ I think I convinced him’.
Beetle’s friend says: You wore him out.
