Subject: Poster

Hi
I opened the screen door yesterday and my cat got out and has been missing since then so I was wondering if you are not to busy you could make a poster for me. It has to be A4 and I will photocopy it and put it around my suburb this afternoon.

This is the only photo of her I have she answers to the name Missy and is black and white and about 8 months old. missing on Harper street and my phone number.
Thanks Shan.

Dear Shannon,
That is shocking news.
Although I have two clients expecting completed work this afternoon, I will, of course, drop everything and do whatever it takes to facilitate the speedy return of Missy.
Regards, David.

It's a design thing. The cat is lost in the negative space.

Thats just stupid. Can you do it properly please? I am extremely emotional over this and was up all night in tears. you seem to think it is funny. Can you make the photo bigger please and fix the text and do it in colour please. Thanks.

Dear Shannon,
Having worked with designers for a few years now, I would have assumed you understood, despite our vague suggestions otherwise, we do not welcome constructive criticism. I don't come downstairs and tell you how to send text messages, log onto Facebook and look out of the window. I have amended and attached the poster as per your instructions.
Regards, David.

yeah can you do the poster or not? I just want a photo and the word lost and the telephone number and when and where she was lost and her name. Not like a movie poster or anything stupid. I have to leave early today. If it was your cat I would help you. Thanks.

Dear Shannon,
I don't have a cat. I once agreed to look after a friend's cat for a week but after he dropped it off at my apartment and explained the concept of kitty litter. I have attached the amended version of your poster as per your detailed instructions.
Regards, David.

I know, but that one is cute. As Missy has quite possibly met any one of several violent ends, it is possible you might get a better cat out of this. If anybody calls and says "I haven't seen your orange cat but I did find a black and white one with its hind legs run over by a car, do you want it?" you can politely decline and save yourself a costly veterinarian bill.
Regards, David.

Awesome Vids - Canon Rock

Canon Rock in D Major




Bila video nih di post di youtube, ia menjadik sensasi tetapi takde sape yg tau identiti mamat nih, sampai la 8 bulan kemudian seorang journalist New York Times identify funtwo nih sbg Lim Jeong-hyun, seorang warga South Korea.

Dlm interviewnya, Jeong-hyun mengatakan bahawa die hanya upload video nih ke laman sharing popular korea, mule.co.kr, tapi ade somebody download dan letak dlm youtube dgn title guitar. Terus jadik sensasi dan sehingga artikel nih ditulis, video nih telah diview sebanyak lebih 76 juta kali and still counting. Aku sendiri pun dah tgk lebih 10 kali and still terhibur.

Canon in D Major nih asalnye di compose oleh Johann Pachelbel, seorang komposer dr German. Aku tak berape paham sgt, tapi aku rase lagu Canon nih mungkin penah dicompose oleh ramai composer tp yg D Major Pachelbel nih yg paling famous. Kot. Aku rase la. Anyway, lagu nih diarrange kembali oleh seorang warga Taiwan bernama Jerry Chang, atau lebih dikenali sbg JerryC, dan kemudian die share kt Internet. Jeong-hyun nih amik lps tuh die add in guitar instrument dlm tuh and terus kaboom.

Kopi Termahal Di Dunia

Dok kecoh2 pasal kopi Luwak. Baru2 nih Majlis Fatwa Indonesia meluluskan bahawa kopi Luwak nih halal. Saksikan macammane proses penghasilannya.

Tahukah anda apakah kopi yg termahal di dunia?

Cappucino? Expresso? Mocha?

What? Kopi Janda? Tu yg mahal bukan kopinya.. tapi jandanya. Kah kah kah...

Biasa kita minum kopi.. kopi yg diproses dari biji kopi asli. Tapi berlainan dengan kopi ini. Nama pun paling mahal, mesti la ada spesel nya.. Hehe.

Pernah dengar nama Kopi Luwak? Kopi Luwak ialah kopi paling mahal di dunia.

Kenapa mahal? Sebab ia ada ingredient tambahan.. diproses dan diadun secukup rasa, bukan dalam periuk belanga, tapi dalam perut haiwan.. Haa, jangan terkejut beb. Sebab tu la mahal.. Hehe.

Kopi Luwak keluaran Thailand berjenama 'Doi Chaang'.

Kopi Luwak keluaran Filipina berjenama 'Alamid'.

Eh.. menatang ape ni? Apa kaitan dengan kopi lak ni?

Haa.. menatang ni la yg buat kopi ni sedap. Menatang ni la yg telah menaiktaraf status kopi ni jadi the most expensive coffee in this world!

Cane jadi gitu pulak? Haa.. relek.. follow story kat bawah ni...

Menatang ni namanya Civet. Lebih kurang macam musang la, badan bintik2.. membiak area Asia , Afrika dan Eropah.

Petani di Jawa Timur memetik biji kopi sebagai makanan Civet.

Hanya biji kopi yg elok dan terpilih je dijadikan makanan Civet.. demi menghasilkan kopi yg berkualiti tinggi.. Errkkk..

Civet diberi makan biji kopi terpilih. Masa proses penghadaman, enzim Civet akan bercampur dengan biji kopi ni. Bila najis keluar, ia akan menghasilkan biji kopi yg unik dan tasty.. Gulp!

Najis Civet dipungut untuk diproses.

Haha.. amacam, ada macam wafer cereal tak? Kah kah kah...

Proses pembersihan dan pemilihan biji kopi Civet yg terbaik untuk dikisar menjadi serbuk kopi.

Inilah hasilnya... Kopi Termahal di Dunia!! Wahaha..

China Bashing

A poem published by The Washington Post

When we were the Sick Man of Asia , We were called The Yellow Peril.
When we are billed to be the next Superpower, we are called The Threat.
When we closed our doors, you smuggled opium to open markets.
When we embrace Free Trade, You blame us for taking away your jobs.
When we were falling apart, You marched in your troops and wanted your fair share.
When we tried to put the broken pieces back together again, Free Tibet you screamed, It Was an Invasion!
When we tried Communism, you hated us for being Communist.
When we embrace Capitalism, you hate us for being Capitalist.
When we have a billion people, you said we were destroying the planet.
When we tried limiting our numbers, you said we abused human rights.
When we were poor, you thought we were dogs.
When we loan you cash, you blame us for your national debts.
When we build our industries, you call us Polluters.
When we sell you goods, you blame us for global warming.
When we buy oil, you call it exploitation and genocide.
But when you go to war for oil, you call it liberation.
When we were lost in chaos and rampage, you demanded rules of law.
When we uphold law and order against violence, you call it violating human rights.
When we were silent, you said you wanted us to have free speech.
When we are silent no more, you say we are brainwashed- xenophobics.
Why do you hate us so much, we asked.
No, you answered, we don't hate you.
We don't hate you either,
But, do you understand us?
Of course we do, you said,
We have AFP, CNN and BBC's...
What do you really want from us?
Think hard first, then answer...
Because you only get so many chances.
Enough is Enough, Enough Hypocrisy for This One World.
We want One World, One Dream, and Peace on Earth.
This Big Blue Earth is Big Enough for all of Us.

The Husband Store...

Jangan marah aa kaum perempuan. hehe

A store that sells husbands has just opened in New York City, where any woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates. You may visit the store ONLY ONCE!!!

You may choose any man from a particular floor, or you may choose to go up a floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the Building! So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband…

On the first floor the sign on the door reads:

Floor 1 - These men have jobs and love the Lord.

The second floor sign reads:

Floor 2 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, and love kids.

The third floor sign reads:

Floor 3 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, and are extremely good looking..

"Wow," she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.

She goes to the fourth floor and sign reads:

Floor 4 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, are drop-dead good looking and help with the housework.

"Oh, mercy me!" she exclaims, "I can hardly stand it!"
Still, she goes to the fifth floor and sign reads:

Floor 5 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, are drop-dead gorgeous, help with the housework, and have a strong romantic streak.

She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor and the sign reads:

Floor 6 - You are visitor 4,363,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please.

Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store. Watch your step as you exit the building, and have a nice day!
