Can I assume that Google is racist? Or is it just Singaporeans?

Some guy bought a new fridge for his house. To get rid of his old fridge, he put it in his front yard and hung a sign on it saying "Free to good home, You want it you take it".

For three days the fridge sat there without even one person looking twice at it. He eventually decided that people were too un-trusting of this deal, looks to good to be true, so he changed the sign to read "Fridge for sale $50". The next day someone stole it.

 I paid $438.95 for that.

An engineer dies and reports to hell.

Pretty soon, the engineer gets dissatisfied with the level of comfort in hell, and starts designing and building improvements.

After a while, they've got air conditioning and flush toilets and escalators, and the engineer is a pretty popular guy.

One day God calls Satan up on the telephone and says with a sneer, "So, how's it going down there in hell?"

Satan replies, "Hey things are going great. We've got air conditioning and flush toilets and escalators, and there's no telling what this engineer is going to come up with next."

God replies, "What??? You've got an engineer? That's a mistake -- he should never have gotten down there; send him up here."

Satan says, "No way. I like having an engineer on the staff, and I'm keeping him."

God says, "Send him back up here or I'll sue."

Satan laughs uproariously and answers, "Yeah, right. And just where are you going to get a lawyer?"

In the Singapore context, that's called Chao Keng.

A woman came home to find her husband in the kitchen shaking frantically, almost in a dancing frenzy, with some kind of wire running from his waist towards the electric kettle. Intending to jolt him away from the deadly current, she whacked him with a handy plank of wood, breaking his arm in two places. Up to that moment, he had been happily listening to his Walkman.

The Bridge

A truck driver was driving along on the freeway. A sign comes up that reads low bridge ahead" Before he knows it the bridge is right ahead of him and he gets stuck under the bridge. Cars are backed up for miles.

Finally, a police car comes up. The cop gets out of his car and walks around to the truck driver, puts his hands on his hips and says, "Got stuck, huh?" The truck driver says, "No, I was delivering this bridge and ran out of gas."

Over the years, I've compiled quite a number of excuses for not turning up for an appointment in order to use them someday. Just recently, I find that all these excuses have all come back to haunt me - people use them on me. So today I'll just share the top 3 most used excuses when people PS me.

3) Family problem
As if I even bother. This is why this excuse is so good - very few people would dare to question the validity of a "family problem", especially when it is such a sensitive issue, because when questioned, all you need to say is, "You won't understand 1..."

In case if you don't already know, many guys use this excuse in Army to acheive a stay-out status overnight. A stay-out status meaning going home everyday. Some are, of course, genuine. But at the end of the day, "You won't understand 1..."

2) Work OT
There's no way of challenging this. Why? "Because not I say 1 mah...my boss say 1...you go ask my boss lor". How many of us would bother to challenge my boss, when you don't even know WTF is that? Of course, we don't doubt that this could be genuine 90% of the time, as we all know that most bosses like to do things that we don't like to do, which is why they're the boss in the 1st place.

Many friends have pulled this on me, and at the end of the day, I can't blame them but have to blame their boss...which I still have no idea WTF is that.
