Driving lessons

Turns out its not so bad after all.

For years I've been  hearing horror stories about the government and their ridiculous rules surrounding driving tests.

iT's impossible.
It's daft.
It's uneccesary.
No-one can drive like that. 
It's crazy.
It drives you nuts.
The government has once again proved its incompetence.


etc. etc.


etc.

It's really not so bad. In fact, it's quite a good idea to look where you're going - and where everyone else is going.


Maybe if I'm run across this discipline more often I will tyre of it.


Wheel see.

fundamentalism

Mr. Walid Shoebat, don't you think that fundamentalism is the problem, terrorism and all that?

Ah, I see where you are going. I'm going from one extreme to each other? Muslim Terrorist to Christian?

You know, we give the world a headache. We proseletyse. We, as Fundamentalist Christians, really give the world a headache. But we don't take the head right off!
That guy, Walid Shoebat, is seriously cool. Ex-terrorist, he now supports Israel and denounces Hamas. Oh, and, he's a so-called Palestinian. But the palestinians probably don't identify...

Here's his website...

cross-cultural communication

Caller: Hello, I would like to speak to Annie Wan?
Operator: Ok, you can speak to me then..
Caller: No, I want to speak only to Annie Wan!
Operator: Listen, this is the call centre, if you want to speak to anyone, you can speak to me.
Caller: But you're not my wife. I need to speak to Annie Wan.
Operator: What does your wife have to do with it? I'm someone, you can speak to me.
Caller: Well, actually I am Sum Wan. That you are too is very interesting. But I need to talk to Annie Wan! It's an emergency.
Operator: (deep sigh) You are someone who wants to talk to anyone. I get it, ok. What is the emergency?
Caller: Well... just tell Annie Wan that her brother Noe Wan was involved in an bad car accident. Noe Wan got injured and now Noe Wan is being sent to the hospital. Right now, Avery Wan is on the way to the hospital.
Operator: Look, if no one was injured and no one was sent to the hospital, then the accident isn't an urgent matter! You may find this hilarious but I really don't have time for all these pranks!
Caller: You are so rude. What's your name?
Operator: I'm Saw Ree.
Caller: Absolutely! You should be sorry. Are you sure Annie Wan isn't at the office?
