Don't copy if you can't paste!

A popular motivational speaker was entertaining his audience.
He Said : "The best years of my life were spent in the arms of a woman who wasn't my wife!"

The audience was in silence and shock.
The speaker added: "And that woman was my mother!"
Laughter and applause.

A week later, a top IT manager trained by the motivational speaker tried to crack this very effective joke at home. He was a bit foggy after a drink.

He said loudly, "The greatest years of my life were spent in the arms of a woman who was not my wife!"
The wife went wild with shock and rage.
Standing there for 20 seconds trying to recall the second half of the joke, the manager finally blurted out "... and I can't remember who she was!"

Moral of the story:
Don't copy if you can't paste!

Petrol pump faruds in bangalore - applicable to EVERYWHERE

Dear all... read it when u get time... and be careful tooo!!!! Plzz do
let ur
frnds also know abt tis....

I would like to bring to your kind attention the "Great Indian Petrol
Pump
Fraud" happening all over Bangalore (and I believe all over India ) .

Today in the morning ,I saw the fuel gauge of my car touching
the
"Empty" sign,so I thought that while on my way to office , I will fill
petrol
worth 1000 Rs in my car.When I reached the petrol pump at 9:30 Am
today(24th
April 2008)(BP petrol pump near richmond road) I showed the crisp 1000
Rs
note to the attendant at the petrol pump and told him to fill 1000 Rs.I
repeated 1000 to him 2-3 times so that he registers 1000 Rs in his head
fill
the petrol for 1000 Rs.I repeatedly told him because of the past
experience
whenever I had asked him to fill petrol worth 1000 bucks at different
gas
stations(ie for eg. at Advaitha Gas station,near udapi garden BTM to
name one
of them),the attendant always filled 200 rs of petrol and said "Sir your
200
rs of petrol is filled" . I used to say i asked you fill 1000 Rs of
petrol
not 200 worth.He would look at me like an innocent kid and would start
filling the remaining 800 Rs of petrol.

But
this
procedure of 200+800 didn't stop at one petrol pump but gas attendants
at all
the petrol pumps followed this weird ritual.I could sense something
fishy but
not before losing money to this procedure 3-4 times.So coming back to
Today's
incident I asked the "Honest" petrol pump attendant to fill the petrol,
While
filling the petrol my attention was diverted towards the pollution check
centre at the same petrol pump but when I looked back at the meter
indicator,I was shocked to see the familiar "200" mark at the petrol
pump
meter.I told him again why didn't you fill for 1000 Rs.He said that he
heard
200 Rs.So I told him to fill 800 Rs of petrol also.After he had filled
the
petrol ,I got in the car and started towards my office.While on my way
to
office.I observed the fuel gauge in my car.It had moved from "Empty"
first to
half and then little further.But from my past experience that when I
used to
get 1000 rs of fuel filled in the empty fuel tank,It used to come to
certain
level but today it hadn't come till there.So I thought SHIT....I got
Duped
again.

After reaching office I checked the Internet for same
Frauds which had happened before my case.I was shocked to find that many
other people also faced the same problem of 200+800 and some bikes of
40+60
bucks(these petrol pump attendants don't leave anybody).I spoke to my
boss
and a colleague of mine at office they told me of the same incident.I
was
like shit,this problem is not only with me but with people all over
Bangalore.Basically people all over Bangalore (maybe all over india )
are
getting cheated in this ingenious

fraud which is promoted by our friendly neighbour hood petrol pump
owners and
their honchos gas attendants .



The ingenious technique these people follow is discussed below in
italics



When asked for diesel worth Rs. 500. The attendant filled up only Rs.
100.
noticing that I told him to fill for Rs. 500 but by that time he is done
with
100 so the attender said he will fill up for remaining Rs. 400...that is
when
he did a trick of as though he is resetting by playing games of hurry
burry
and continuing to fill and when he is done for Rs. 400 he asked for 500
(100+400) but in reality he only filed for 100+300 as he is not really
resetted the machine to zero even though it appears as he reset it.


; So after reading the messages on the website I went back to
the
petrol pump ,parked my car in middle of the petrol pump called the
attendant
and told him that you have cheated me of 200 rs of petrol instead of
filling
petrol worth of 1000 Rs you have filled the petrol worth only 800 rs ,I
told
him I am gonna sue your petrol pump and I want to write a complaint
against
the same .He got frightened said "Sorry Sir By mistake i have not reset
200
rs".He didn't ask me any more questions and directly filled 200 Rs of
petrol.


I wonder that BP ,IOC,HP talk about going in losses and hence they ask
govt.
to increase the price of diesel and petrol but in reality petrol pump
owners
are helping us save lots of oil by asking us to pay 1000 rs but giving
us
petrol worth 800.What a brilliant way to conserve oil and make profit
for
petrol pump owners .I guess people should know about the ingenious way
in
which petrol pumps owners helps us .(Pardon me for the sarcasm) :-)



I am enclosing the website on which i went today to find information
about
the "Great Indian Petrol Pump fraud"

http://community.livejournal.com/bangalore/276353.html

let me add my two tips to the above....always watch the reading in the
meter.
Sometimes when you ask them to fill for 100rs, they will stop at 5.46
and ask
you again as if they didnot hear you and once you again yell 100, they
will
reset and fill for remaining 46rs.

The meter being a 4 digit one ,and unless you are carefull you wont be
able
to say for sure on whether he stopped at 5.46 or 54.6..so be
watchfull..for
me the notorius pumps are the one opposite to st antonys friary church
in
madiwala ,near to st johns hospital after siemens VDO and another one is
the
one near to silkboard ,after AXA on the left side of road when you go
from
BTM to silkboard.

again this is with the knowledge of petrol pump owners only.....

This information is sure to help PC users very much.

Steps of “20-20-20”

Step I :-

After every 20 minutes of looking into the computer screen, turn your head and try to look at any object placed at least 20 feet away. This changes the focal length of your eyes, a must-do for the tired eyes.

Step II :-

Try and blink your eyes for 20 times in succession, to moisten them.

Step III :-

Time permitting of course, one should walk 20 paces after every 20 minutes of sitting in one particular posture. Helps blood circulation for the entire body.

They say that your eyes are mirror of your soul, so do take care of them, they are priceless......


Otherwise our eye would be like this.....

WE ARE HONORABLE MEN! - Value of Man

If a female is reading this article then just realize the value of a man; and if its a male then feel proud of after reading it!

"One day, while a woodcutter was cutting a branch of a tree above a river, his axe fell into the river. When he cried out, the Lord appeared and asked, "Why are you crying?" The woodcutter replied that his axe has fallen into water, and he needed the axe to make his living. The Lord went down into the water and reappeared with a golden axe. "Is this your axe?" the Lord asked. The woodcutter replied, "No." The Lord again went down and came up with a silver Axe. "Is this your axe?" the Lord asked. Again, the woodcutter replied, "No." The Lord went down again and came up with an iron Axe. "Is this your axe?" the Lord asked. The woodcutter replied, "Yes." The Lord was pleased with the man's honesty and gave him all three axes to keep, and the woodcutter went home happy. Some time later the woodcutter was walking with his wife along the riverbank, and his wife fell into the river. When he cried out, the Lord again appeared and asked him, "Why are you crying?" "Oh Lord, my wife has fallen into the water!" The Lord went down into the water and came up with ANGELINA JOLIE "Is this your wife?" the Lord asked. "Yes," cried the woodcutter. The Lord was furious. "You lied! That is an untruth!" The woodcutter replied, "Oh, forgive me, my Lord. It is a misunderstanding. You see, if I had said 'no' to ANGELINA JOLIE , You would have come up with CAMERON DIAZ . Then if I said 'no' to her, you would have come up with my wife. Had I then said 'yes,' you would have given me all three. so THAT'S why I said yes to ANGELINA JOLIE ." The moral of this story is: Whenever a man lies, it is for a good and honorable reason, and for the benefit of others. That's our story, and we're sticking to it! - "WE ARE HONORABLE MEN!!!!" isn't it?
