A2 Varun Kaushal, There is nothing impossible to him who willtry......20h I think it's one. A retired armyofficer was watering the plants at the front garden of his house when a lady,who had just newly moved into the neighbourhood approached him. Since he wascasually dressed wearing an old t-shirt, shorts and slippers, the lady mistookhim to be a servant and thus spoke to him in an arrogant tone. "You there,do you water the plants regularly?" She asked. The ex-officer, nottaking the slightest offense replied politely, "Yes Ma'am." "And whatother chores do you do?" She asked. "I also take the dog out for a walk,cut the vegetables, clean the car and bring groceries." He replied in thesame polite tone. "How much doyou charge?" She asked him. The gentleman grinned and replied "Idon't take money, but for doing all these chores, the lady of the house allowsme to sleep with her." The lady ran awayhorrified, and the gentleman had a hearty laugh at her expense. Q3 Whichpsychological experiment greatly affects everyone? A3 Amit Singh, Updated Mar 9 This is called theNapkin Experiment .Next time you have a party at work or at home, try this andsee for yourself. The first time, putthese plain/regular napkins in a bunch for guests to use. Watch them abusethese napkins, just pull them out however they want, in any number. Most peoplewill take more than one. They will throw this napkin in the trash without careand get more as needed. The second time,use them instead. Nothing really fancy here compared to the previous napkin -just a different bright color. Notice thedifference this time. People will treat them as special, being careful to pullone at a time. They will also preserve this napkin longer. Peopleautomatically attach importance when something looks different or moresophisticated than they are used to. This is also thesame principle where well dressed people are usually treated better. Bedifferent, in a good way, to be treated in a special way. Q4 Whatis the funniest joke you've been told that you still think about to this day? A4 Lisa Smeltzer Carmichael,17h A little boy isinstructed to do a science experiment with a grasshopper. He follows theinstructions and marks out a starting line on a piece of paper, places thegrasshopper on the line and tells it to jump. He then carefully measures andrecords the distance the grasshopper jumped. He then snaps offone of the grasshopper’s legs, places it back on the starting line and tells itto jump. Again, he carefully measures and records the (noticeably shorter)distance the grasshopper jumped. He repeats thisprocess with each leg and the grasshopper jumps shorter and shorter distances,until he snaps off the last leg and places the grasshopper on the starting lineand tells it to jump. The grasshopper does not move. He tries again, to noavail. He is required towrite a conclusion based on his science experiment. CONCLUSION:Grasshoppers without legs cannot hear. Q5 Whatis something that someone told you that made you immediately realize that thecrazystory they were telling you was actually true? A5 Gordon Wyatt ,14h Many years ago, Iwas a supervisor on a Government-funded youth employment scheme, trying to getunemployed young people into work. One day, one of thelads managed to get a cut to the top of his head. Only a small flesh wound but,being a scalp wound, there was blood everywhere - his hair was soaked, it wasin his eyes, dripping from his nose, etc. As we were workingat a site close to the hospital, we drove him there ourselves, rather than waitfor an ambulance. As it was clearly a head wound, he was rushed straightthrough for assessment. A few minuteslater, a nurse came out, looking quite worried. Whilst they were asking himroutine questions, he had apparently deteriorated. In particular, when theyasked his date of birth, he had said “Don’t know!” and when they followed upwith “Well, when is your birthday?” he had replied “Don’t have one!”. Clearlythe wound was worse than we had thought and there was some neurological damage;either temporary or permanent. At the nurse’s request, we asked our HR unit to faxacross his basic details, so that the hospital could contact his family. The records dulyarrived. We looked to see what his date of birth was - and we all fell aboutlaughing, nurse included. The records clearly stated that he had been unable toprovide a date of birth. It turned out thatthe whole family were illiterate and no-one had bothered to register his birthuntil he was about 3 or 4 years old - by which time they couldn’t remember whattime of year he had been born! A quick wash toremove the blood, three stitches and a couple of painkiller tablets later, hewas discharged and we drove him home. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Thatha_Patty" group.
