"I'm useless! I don't think I'm cut out for anything!"
I nearly choked on my food as I heard this from the lady standing at my side. It was lunch break at a seminar on ‘Purpose and Work’ I was addressing and I'd noticed that even through the supposedly motivational talk I was giving her eyes were listless and dull. "Okay," I said, "ever heard of the woman who ran a creche for children from her home? As she sat with the kids one day a fire engine zoomed by. The kids were thrilled to see a dog on the front seat."

The other day an employee of mine showed me his phone worth a huge amount. “But that’s a costly phone!” I said.
“With my credit card sir!” he said.
And today, that’s what I see; with no money in the wallet but with a piece of plastic in hand more and more are moving from shop to shop and buying more than they can afford.

"We need a new pop up toaster?" I told my wife.
"What's wrong with the old one?"
"Too much pop in its up!" I said and screamed as there was the sound of gunfire and I dived for cover.

The other day I decided to do something a bit wicked, not too naughty to make you stop reading farther, but just a wee bit wicked. I’d often found people leaning across and telling me, when there was about to be a event of any kind, “Bob, if you ever need any help, just give me a call.” So, I decided to test the validity of the offered help.
“In what way can you help?” I asked.

They were holding hands at the next table.
I have nothing against holding hands, I've held my own fair share and more during the springtime of my youth, but these two at the next table seemed to have hands meant for nothing else but each other! Danny who was sitting next to me, appeared too embarrassed to look and I don't think it pleased the man from Wales, who I suspect thought that Asians should be Asians in their expressions of love. Now I'm only assuming he had these thoughts since he never looked even once furtively in the direction of the couple, or maybe he was just polite!
