OK Lets see who gets these jokes I found tonight lol

Start with a easy 1

1. A photon is going through airport security. The TSA agent asks if he has any luggage. The photon says, "No, I'm traveling light."

2. Pretentious? Moi?   ( OK even I don't get this 1 )

3. A logician's wife is having a baby. The doctor immediately hands the newborn to the dad. The wife says, "Is it a boy or a girl?" The logician says, "Yes."

4. Two women walk into a bar and talk about the Bechdel test.   (1 for the girls to get)

5.Heard about that new band called 1023 MB? They haven't had any gigs yet.   (wonder if the girls will get this 1 lol)

6.C, Eb, and G walk into a bar. The bartender says, "Sorry, no minors."

 ”

 

I got all of them but I like number 3 best. Pack it in with the sexism though Andy!!

Even if you have a contract in place, would you have enough funds to take others in a different country to court, should anything go wrong?....  ”
 

That's a good point.

ooooh I don't know but I'm sure someone on here does.  Maybe think about minimum contract lengths they have to agree to, as long as you hit your SLAs. I guess you could add in that the person in SA cannot approach your clients, in the same way some employers do with employees, stopping them being able to run off with clients and set up on their own. I know a client of mine who took on people to help her out made them sign that they couldn't set up a similar business within 2 years of working with her.

I LOVE THIS!!!! This made me laugh and I am stealing it for my FB page  You finally found something my sense of humour appreciated 

Read this 1 today again .So sharing if you haven't seen it before

1. How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator?

The correct answer is: Open the refrigerator, put in the giraffe, and close the door. This question tested whether you tend to do simple things In an overly complicated way.

2. How do you put an elephant into a refrigerator?

Did you say, Open the refrigerator, Put in the elephant, And close the Refrigerator?

Wrong Answer.

Correct Answer: Open the refrigerator, take out the giraffe, Put in the elephant and close the door. This tested your ability to think through the repercussions of your previous actions.

3. The Lion King is hosting an animal conference. All the animals attend....except one. Which animal does not attend?

Correct Answer: The Elephant.

The elephant is in the refrigerator. You just put him in there.

This tested your memory.

Okay, even if you did not answer the first three questions correctly, You still have one more chance to show your true abilities.

4. There is a river you must cross but it is used by crocodiles, and you do not have a boat. How do you manage?

Correct Answer: You jump into the river and swim across.

Have you not been listening?

All the crocodiles are attending the animal conference.

This tested whether you learn quickly from your mistakes.”

RIP Aretha and Happy Birthday Madonna! 17th August 2018 11:12 AM

There was the sad news this week that Aretha Franklin passed away at age 76, a real legend of a singer and quite a force to be reckoned with it seems as I read more about her.

Secondly, Madonna turned 60!  I was never her biggest fan when it comes to he music but she really has gone out there and done what she wanted to do and the fact she is still doing that at 60 is admirable. It's great to see a woman not just giving up as her age increases as society's view of older women is definitely notoriously dubious. She still looks fantastic and doesn't care what the media says, but does her own thing. I do feel old seeing her turn 60 but it also gives me hope that in 20 years when I turn 60 life might not be over after all, assuming I make it that far

been busy 16th August 2018 4:51 PM

It sounds like you've worked very very hard. Well done. Followers don't just appear so I admire your tenacity! I don't think I put nearly enough time into my social media but then my children and my work take up all my time. And that's a feeble excuse I know 

I'd love some help, I'm starting a blog with grammar and spelling tips, not sure it's really your readership's thing though.  

I was talking about bulldogs today and how they used to have such a bad image but don't now.
