Born to be Wild (the beast)^^

"Some of these newly imported wildebeests from Kenya are out of control" said the zookeeper "they are running amok in their common enclosure and hurting the calm ones."


"What do you suggest, sir?" asked the assistant


"What the hell am I paying you for? You come up with a solution or you're fired"


A few hours later, the zookeeper came back to check.


"Great job! I see you have tied ropes around the necks of the crazy ones and hitched them to the fence"


"Yes sir. I hope these bad ones will calm down after a while so I can release them."


"By the way, how did you manage to think of such a simple but elegant solution?"


"Lucky I guess ... I just figured that No Noose is Good Gnus"

Actually, no news is bad news. War, hunger, disease is pretty much ignored by the news media. Maybe there is not much demand for it or perhaps we just become immune to it after a while. As the saying goes -- one death is murder, a million is just statistics. Tell that to the million crying mothers ....

Bare Necessities^

At the herb plantation, the native workers rarely used any footwear. Several herbs had prickly leaves and stems and this resulted in frequent cuts and scratches on their bare feet.


The management wanted them to put on shoes and came up with a slogan that could hardly be overlooked.


The injuries were drastically reduced when the catchy signs went up... "Thyme Wounds all Heels".

For people who have undergone real painful losses, time doesn't really heal all wounds. But it does help somewhat.
