Animals

Once a man went to a Veterinary Doctor and said:

Doctor I have come on vacation for a month so that I can get myself treated fully within this period.

Doctor: I think you should go to the Doctor opposite to my clinic, see that board.

Man: No, Doctor, I have come to you only

Doctor: But, gentleman I am a Veterinary Doctor. I am an animal specialist. I do not treat human beings.

Man: I know, Doctor very well and that is why I have come to you only…

Doctor: I can not, because you speak like me, think like me, talk like me which means you are a human being and not an animal.

Man: I know I am a human but listen to my complaints first.

Doctor: OK. Tell me.

Man:

I sleep like a dog thinking about my work load whole night.
I get up in the morning like a horse.
I go to work running like a deer.
I work all the day like a donkey.
I run around for 11 months like a bull without any holiday.
I wag my tail in front of all my bosses.
I play with my children like a monkey if I get time.

Doctor: are you software engineer?

Man: Yes

Doctor: Instead of telling this long history you should have told me in the beginning itself that you are an engineer. Come man, no one can treat you better than me.

Impact of a job change

January 19th, 2009 2 comments

A taxi passenger tapped the driver on the shoulder to ask him a question. The driver screamed, lost control of the car, nearly hit a bus, went up on the footpath, and stopped centimeters from a shop window.

For a second everything went quiet in the cab, then the driver said: “Look mate, don’t ever do that again. You scared the daylights out of me!”.

The passenger apologized and said, “I didn’t realize that a little tap would scare you so much.”

The driver replied, “Sorry, it’s not really your fault. Today is my first day as a cab driver – I’ve been driving a van carrying dead Bodies for the last 25 years”.

Here is a story to illustrate, What is effecive communication?

After the prayer, Raja and Ram are returning from the temple. Ram wonders whether it would be all right to smoke while praying.

Raja replies, “Why don’t you ask the Priest?”

So Raja goes up to the priest and asks, “Priest,may I smoke while I pray?”

But the Priest says, “No, my child, you may not. That’s utter disrespect to our religion.”

Raja goes back to his friend and tells him what the good priest told him.

Ram says, “I’m not surprised. You asked the wrong question. Let me try.”

And so Ram goes up to the Priest and asks, “Priest, may I pray while I smoke?”

To which the priest eagerly replies, “By all means, my child. By all means.”

Moral : The reply you get depends on the question you ask.

For Example : Can I work on this project while I’m on vacation ?!?
