Difficult Test

              A college student needed a small two-hour course to fill his schedule and the only one available was wildlife Zoology. After one week, a test was held.The professor passed out a sheet of paper divided into four squares. In each square was a carefully drawn picture of a bird’s legs. No bodies, no feet, just legs. The test asked each student to identify the birds from their legs. The student sat and stared at the test getting angrier every minute.

                   Finally he stomped up to the front of the classroom and threw the test on the teacher’s desk. “This is the worst test I have ever given.” The teacher looked up and said: “Young man, you have flunked the test. What’s your name?” The student pulled up his pant to the knee showing his legs and said: “You tell me…”

Telephone bill…

The phone bill was exceptionally high and the man of the house called a family meeting.

Dad: People this is unacceptable. You have to limit the use of the phone. I do not use this phone, I use the one at the office.

Mum: Same here, I hardly use this home telephone as I use my work telephone

Son: Me too, I never use the home phone. I always use my company mobile

Maid: So what is the problem? We all use our work telephones.

Am eagerly waiting….

Yesterday the draws for the First knock out round of the UEFA champions league were released …..I was very much excited with te way it has come out…I mean the teams lining up for the battle of european glory……..The draw goes like dis….

Porto v Chelsea

Celtic v AC Milan

PSV Eindhoven v Arsenal

Lille v Manchester United

Roma v Olympique Lyon

Barcelona v Liverpool

Real Madrid v Bayern Munich

      Inter Milan v Valencia

                        The last three matches seems to entertain the soccer fans,as the defending european champions(2006) Barcelona takes on the Premier league side Liverpool who were the European champions in 2005……so it wil be a fierce battle for these two sides to move to the next stage……The matches between real madrid and german champions bayer munich , Inter milan and Valencia seems to have a battle for survival in the tournament……

                          VS                       

Barcelona(2006 Champions)                                  Liverpool(2005 Champions)

Well me being a fan of Arsenal was happy to see them matched up with the dutch side PSV Eindhoven ……I dont think it wil be too tough for them……but as for the game of soccer nothin is predictable………Clubs like Milan,ManU,Chelsea and Lyon seems to be favourites to move to the next round ……dis year the Quarter finals wil hav al the best clubs in the race……

As per European championship ,no team has won the honour in consecutive years …..it has never happened in history……..Every yr the club which has got the fire within themselves wil probably win the league……Will the history been changed By Barcelona as the Defending Champions seems to be a favorites of dis tournament…..Along with them clubs like Chelsea,Lyon and ManU hav got the stuff to win the european cup….

Though Arsenal is not in good form,I personally want them to perform well in the tournament……They made to the finals last time ,they finished as runners up……But stil they too r a strong contenders for dis title…….So the stage is set for the teams to clash….the matches are scheduled in feb last week and march first week……I cant wait so long…..I am eagerly waiting to catch up the action……Lemme wait and watch who wil be crowned with the glory ie European Champions……..

Kool Ads…

These are 7 pictures of (European) semi-trucks whose trailers are decorated to look like the sides are missing and the products they are hauling are painted on the sides and back.
The first one is of a bottle of beer and looks so real, as if it is coming out the side of the trailer.

 The second is of canvas tote bag.

The third is of Pepsi cases and they are all stacked on the ceiling, and the bottom of the trailer is empty.

The fourth is of another truck with the windshield facing the back and there has been a driver painted in the driver’s seat looking back over his shoulder to appear like he is driving backwards.

The fifth one is of an aquarium with fish swimming in it.

The sixth one is of a bookshelf with books lined up in it and a post-it-note with an advertisement on it, probably for the company that sells the books.

The last one is for Pringles-Hot & Spicy. The “inside” of the trailer has the appearance of having been through a fire.

Funny….

Two priests decided to go to Hawaii on vacation. They were determined to

make this a real vacation escape by not wearing anything that would

identify them as clergy. As soon as the plane landed, they headed for a

store and bought some outrageous shorts, shirts and sandals.

The next morning they went to the beach dressed in their tourist garb.

They were sitting on beach chairs, enjoying a drink, the sunshine and the

scenery when a drop dead gorgeous blonde wearing shorts came

walking straight towards them.

They couldn’t help but stare. As the blonde passed them she smiled and

said, “Good Morning, Father. Good Morning, Father,” nodding and addressing

each of them individually.

They were both stunned. How in the world did she know they were priests?

So the next day, they went back to the store and bought even more

outrageous outfits. These were so loud you could hear them before you saw

them. Once again, in their new attire, they settled on the beach in their

chairs to enjoy the sunshine.

After a while, the same gorgeous blonde,

taking her sweet time, came walking toward them. Again she

nodded at each of them, she said, “Good morning, Father. Good morning,

Father,” and started to walk away.

One of the priests couldn’t stand it any longer and said, “Just a minute,

young lady.”

“Yes, Father?” she said.

“We are priests and proud of it, but I have to know, how in the world did

you know we are priests, Dressed as we are?”

“Father, it’s me, Sister Margaret.”
