Irish Bailout

It is a slow day in a damp little Irish town. The rain is beating down and the streets are deserted. Times are tough, everybody is in debt, and everybody lives on credit. On this particular day a rich German tourist is driving through the town, stops at the local hotel and lays a €100 note on the desk, telling the hotel owner he wants to inspect the rooms upstairs in order to pick one to spend the night. The owner gives him some keys and, as soon as the visitor has walked upstairs, the hotelier grabs the €100 note and runs next door to pay his debt to the butcher. The butcher takes the €100 note and runs down the street to repay his debt to the pig farmer. The pig farmer takes the €100 note and heads off to pay his bill at the supplier of feed and fuel. The guy at the Farmers' Co-op takes the €100 note and runs to pay his drinks bill at the pub. The publican slips the money along to the local prostitute drinking at the bar, who has also been facing hard times and has had to offer him "services" on credit. The hooker then rushes to the hotel and pays off her room bill to the hotel owner with the €100 note. The hotel proprietor then places the €100 note back on the counter so the rich traveller will not suspect anything. At that moment the traveller comes down the stairs, picks up the €100 note, states that the rooms are not satisfactory, pockets the money, and leaves town. No one produced anything. No one earned anything. However, the whole town is now out of debt and looking to the future with a lot more optimism. And that, Gentlemen, is how the bailout package works.

Azam Ali - Forty one ways to die

Forty one ways to die
One strong will to live
World's gone all awry
Faith is the battlefield

Tender, I feel
And the wheels turn
To fortify a design of free will

Forty one ways to die
One strong pain to feel
Strapped to a suicide
With just one more place to be

Tender, I feel
And the wheels turn
To fortify a design of free will

We test, we form, we fear, we tilt
We strive, we fall, we want, we kill
And we hail, and we doubt
And with all waisted
We heal, and we call
We atone kneeled here
And will stray fortified
In a windfall

Manvel Ter-Pogosyan feat Tiff Lacey - Sweet Memories (Original Mix)

Still you remain like a ghost at the door
In the back of my mind
You come to the fore
So long, so long,
Yes I long for your touch
But I know its wrong
Enough is enough.

Sweet memories, I remember
Sweet memories,
Like burning embers
Deep in secrecy
I can't forget you
Sweet Memories, I remember

Deep in secrecy,
I can't forget you
Sweet memories, I remember

Sweet Memories, I remember
Sweet memories,
Like burning embers,
Deep in secrecy
I can't forget you
Sweet Memories, I remember

Headstrong Feat. Stine Grove – Tears (Aurosonic Progressive Remix)

I’ll keep it simple, I’ll keep it true
All the love I have I’ll give to you

I’ll keep it easy, I’ll keep it real
All the love I have is what you’ll feel

I’ll make it clear, I’ll make you see
I’ll hold you near, close to me

I’ll take it deeper, I’ll break it down
Only love can turn your life around

I’ll make it stronger, I’ll keep it free
All the dreams I have are what you see

Love is here, just let it be
I’ll kill the fear, deep in me

I’ll lift you up, we’ll touch the sky
I’ll wipe away those tears from your eyes

I’ll wipe away the tears from your eyes
I’ll wipe away those tears from your eyes

I’ll shake you up, I’ll make you try

I’ll lift you up, we’ll touch the sky
I’ll wipe away those tears from your eyes
I’ll wipe away the tears from your eyes

Are you Kidding ?

Reaching the end of a job interview, the Human Resources Person asked a young Engineer fresh out of MIT, "And what starting salary were you looking for?"

The Engineer said, "In the neighborhood of $125,000 a year, depending on the benefits package."

The interviewer said, "Well, what would you say to a package of 5 weeks vacation, 14 paid holidays, full medical and dental, a company matching retirement fund for 50% of your salary, and a company car leased every 2 years -- say, a red Corvette?"

The Engineer sat up straight and said, "Wow! Are you kidding?"

And the interviewer replied, "Yeah, but you started it."

Nothing Personal

"I hope you didn't take it personally, Reverend," an embarrassed woman said after a church service, "when my husband walked out during your sermon."

"I did find it rather disconcerting," the preacher replied.

"It's not a reflection on you," insisted the church goer. "Ralph has been been walking in his sleep since childhood."
