Spoke too soon

I noticed that there was a rather dashy blonde in another check-out line. Our eyes met, she raised her hand to wave, and smiled a "Hello" to me. I was rather taken aback that such a looker would be waving and, although she looked familiar; I couldn't place where I might know her from. As luck would have it, I saw her a few minutes later in the parking lot as she was loading her groceries, so I approached her and said, "Sorry, do you know me?" She replied, "I may be mistaken, but I think you might be the father of one of my kids." I was rather panicked, but my mind shot back to my one and only sexual indiscretion. "Holy crap," I exclaimed (much too loudly), "Are you that stripper from my bachelor party that I screwed on the pool table in front of all my friends, while your girlfriend whipped me with wet celery and stuck a cucumber up my butt?" She looked up, smiled and replied, "No... I'm your son's English t...

Don't Throw Your ATM Receipt Away

Since all of us have ATM card(s), I would like to share this important news. My friend saw a man at Novena MRT ATM trying to get all the receipts out of the ATM bin. Please read the following message from a friend of mine, it's true. Please be careful, it is not a joke.... Be careful when u draw cash from ATM with receipt complete with your account number. Please never throw the ATM receipt in the public bin even if u used to tear it into small pieces before throwing it away. Today, just got a call from my sister that she had lost all her cash from her account. She threw the receipt into the bin provided at ATM recently. Luckily, she only has $633/= in her account. Not much of suspicious when she was left with $11/= because she thought it was her petrol GIRO payment, however, that is not true.. She only got to know it when the petrol company, Mobil cut-off the petrol card's transaction when she realized something is wrong. After checking with the bank, she was tol...

Eye illusion (1) - moving

Image
Stare at the blinking pink dots, you will see only one color, pink. If you look at the the + in the center, you'll see a circle of pink dots and a rotating green dot. But, if you stare at the + without moving your eyes, the pink dots will disappear and you will see only a rotating green dot. It's amazing how our brain works. There really is no green dot and the pink ones don't really disappear. There is no spiral motion. There is no spiral motion. How many dots have you found? Another static picture. Tire Spiral. Those circulars are moving around? Wave moving. The boats are in fact not moving.

New Skill of Credit Card Fraud

Card Holders Please Read Just received an email, I think that I should share with you all. The story is as following: This is the true experience of my colleague and myself during last Saturday. We went to a restaurant during tea time, consumed roughly only dozens of dollars, she used his credit card to swap the payment. But when she was signing the printed receipt, she felt those receipts were much thicker than it used to be. Then she looked more onto it and found that there was another different receipt below of the one she was signing while the amount is several hundred dollars (the waiter deliberately used stapler to set two receipt together). Should be aware that the receipts are all single-Carbonless Paper, and she just need to sign the toppest receipt, those below will automatically printed her signature. Even if fraud was found after that, we will never can find a reason to argue because it is autographed by our own signture. How terrible it is! Fortunately, my colleague found...
