29th April 2012 All About Feet

Out of the Mouths of a smart child ~

Greg, the three year old, put his shoes on by himself. His father, Barry, noticed that the left shoe was on the right foot and vice-versa. He sat Greg down on a chair and said quietly, 'Greg, your shoes are on the wrong feet.'

He looked up at his father with a quizzical expression and replied, 'Don't mess me about, Dad, I know they're my feet.'

Family Feet Business ~

I heard of a story about a family firm who cornered the feet market. One brother sold shoes, each shoe had a hidden fatal flaw. As a direct result the victim's feet needed treatment with the second brother, who was the only Chiropodist in town.

Legend had it that the chiropodist was so incompetent that the only way the victim could get home was in a taxi.

You're ahead of me now, the third brother had the only taxi firm for miles around.

How Smart is Your Right Foot?

This is so frustrating! Give it a go anyway. It is so funny/weird that it will boggle your mind. And if you are anywhere near as stubborn as I am, you will keep trying at least a few more times to see if you can outsmart your foot; but you can't!

1) While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles.

2) Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your right hand.

3) Your foot will change direction. I told you so. And, there's nothing you can do about it! Go ahead:

KEEP TRYING ALL YOU WANT.

Have a great day. Now get back to work.

29th April 2012 From Pigs To Big Pigs

The British press has coined a new term 'Pigs' during the initial part of the economic crisis, acronym (initials) of Portugal, Ireland, Greece and Spain, the countries in the most critically deteriorated situation, principal cause of the discredit and disparagement of the Euro zone. Out of those 4 'Pigs', 3 had been intervened in the past 2 years, in the order of Greece, Ireland and Portugal. Spain is holding it's breath pending on the reconstruction of the economic system to square up the deficit.

Along the way, the expression of 'Pigs' has encountered some alternations and we could well begin to mint the new term 'Big Pigs' to include Belgium, Italy and Great Britain. We can also add the F for France, H for Holland as the pigtails.The peripheral countries have stopped being the only worrying concern of the markets although they continue to be in the centre of the bulls-eye.

Great Britain has announced this week that it has officially entered recession after accumulating 6 months consecutively of decreases, and it being the biggest country in Europe outside of the Euro zone, which ( the Euro) up till now, bore the blame. The same fate also happened in Belgium, Italy and Holland.

I don't have any knowledge of politics and equally ignorant about world economy. The immediate future, of Europe anyway, seems very bleak not to say desperately precarious. Since Pigs are used to describe the present economic situation I guess we now have to bring in the Turtle with it's patience and determination to carry on regardless, and the Hare's swiftness and cunning to get ahead. But, if I remember right, the fable says the Turtle is at the end the winner.

 

So we should just tighten our belts and soldier on.
