urgh, so ridiculous! i agree that there definitely have to be boundaries, particularly with children... but... banning high fives???
though i guess one of the tough things about rules... is knowing how far is too far?
but this is too far!
anyway... off on a tangent: i promised more 'sexist jokes' haha and yes... i love the clever ones!
Women like silent men. They think they're listening.
-Marcel Achard, Quote, 4 November 1956
I have an idea that the phrase "weaker sex" was coined by some woman to disarm some man she was preparing to overwhelm.
-Ogden Nash
They call it PMS because Mad Cow Disease was already taken.

need
i'm so so sorry, i think at times it was easier for me to turn a blind eye to it all.
there are so many things that i need to do better in, and i'm struggling to balance it all... already.
i need Your intervention
i need a multiplication of my time and energy...
i need wisdom and strength
i need a strengthening of my heart and spirit
i need You and everything that You are
i will take hold of You

nice or intoxicated?
for some reason
there is a certain etiquette that is observed when traveling on a train. passengers don't talk too loudly... there's a certain concept of personal space... and people in general do their best not to make eye contact. well yesterday, during peak hour... amongst the mass of people, i could distinctly hear a loud voice over my
ipod.
lovely day! thats it dear, give us a smile, ohhh you got a lovely smile... give us another... now... where do you live? eh? wheelers hill? u better watch that i don't follow you home...
ohhh there got a laugh... jolly good!
now...
i've learnt that sometimes when rowdy behaviour occurs, its best to avoid appearing a spectator, lest you yourself attract unwanted attention. sometimes as a girl, its best to stay out of it. so i continued to fake sleeping and listening to my
ipod.
but eventually,
curiosity got the better of me... i was dying to see what this man looked like. i could very clearly hear his voice, and had gauged him to be elderly... and by the sounds of it... intoxicated. moreover, i had formed a picture in my head: grizzly looking, unshaven, wearing a
stained hoody and perhaps worn
trackies? however, when i finally managed to catch a glimpse of the man, i was stunned.
yes, he was elderly, but this man appeared to be well to do. dressed in a suit with golden
cuff links and a blackberry at hand. not at all what i had imagined. the more i (discreetly) observed him.. the more i began to doubt my initial impression of a drunk and sleazy old man.
i still don't know what to make of him. a part of me believes that he was trying to bring some sort of warmth to an otherwise mundane commute home. he made an effort to smile at each person and wish them
have a wonderful day. yet on the other hand... his obtuse and loud behaviour had me believing the worst. i don't think it helped that the two men that were 'encouraging' his behaviour (the ones i could see) were scary looking... the type of men you give wide berth when walking in the streets past nightfall.
started me thinking, how appearances can be deceptive... but more so, i questioned my assumption that this man was drunk. yes... some of the things he said made me concerned... (such as the following the girl home... i would have freaked out completely!) but on the other hand, my initial belief that his friendliness and lack of reservation was due to the alcohol rather than a genuine... niceness... made me feel...
hmmm sad? i dunno... does it say something about the days we live in, when we perceive such ugliness before the good? or does it say something about me?

If your wife wants to learn to drive, don't stand in her way. (yes... i'm thinking of a particular friend whose future husband may be lucky that she's already learnt how to drive.... umm more or less... HAHA)
Girls are like phones. We love to be held, talked to but if you press the wrong button you'll be disconnected! Men are like parking spots, the good ones are taken and the free ones are handicapped.
(haha this one is my favourite out of all of them! ok amy... enough of the sexist jokes)

unfortunately... sexist jokes have always made me laugh... depending of course on the wittiness
(disclaimer: the following quotes do not necessarily reflect the beliefs of the blogger...)
Sure, God created man before woman. But then you always make a rough draft before the final masterpiece.
(oh oh oh!!! ouch! this is definitely a quote that DOES NOT represent my beliefs! but... you have to admit, it is witty! BUT BUT... one could argue... that yes, God created man first, but he wasn't good enough, soooo God created woman! OR... it was not good for man to be alone, (ie. they can't survive without a woman) SO tada!!! woman!)
If men can run the world, why can't they stop wearing neckties? How intelligent is it to start the day by tying a little noose around your neck?
- Linda Ellerbee
(haha i like ties, i also like tying them... but i hated wearing them during highschool. i would say, without ties, how are guys going to accessorise?)
haha isn't it funny how we're so different? funny and at times downright annoying ;)
more to come: watch this space!
