Here is an interesting word by word reproduction of a sms forward i recieved today on my mobile

"In 1960 the first topless dance bar in malaysia opened in kaula lumpur. The good news, its still open. The bad news is the same girls still work there...send this msg to all or a ghost will rape ur dog."

And my poor friend sent this to me so that his dog is spared. I had a lot of questions after reading the sms

1. Who is the original source of this SMS, the mobile service provider?
2. How many ghosts are waiting in line to "rape" the dogs and is the ratio equal?
3. Do ghosts like dogs and vice versa?
4. How do the ghosts know that the message i recieved was subsequently forwarded by me and that they have to spare my dog?
5. Are the ghosts paid by the hour by this sinister mobile service provider?
6. I don't possess a dog here in Bangalore, will that mean, the ghost will rape me (since i have broken the "forwarding" sms chain) ? if yes, do i have a choice of choosing the female one?
7. How are ghosts related to the people who work in that age old topless bar?
8. Does this whole crap make sense?
9. How come i never thought of visiting malaysia?

Boy! some genius is at work at the mobile service provider's "creative sms forwards" dept. I always knew there was a sinister nexus between the mobile service providers and the sms which come asking us to forward them furthermore thereby creating wealth (sms revenue) to the mobile service provider, but i did not know that the nexus broadened to include "Malaysian Topless Bar of 1960" and "Ghosts".

Its fun watching a movie with subtitles on, most of the original dvd's have proper subtitles which goes in tandem with what the characters speak on screen..it really spices up when you watch the movie on a pirated or a bootleg version of the same movie

Here is an excerpt of a bootleg copy of a recent release

The characters speak at a very fast rate (british accent) and the subtitles go on like this

(Mumbling)

then you see the next subtitle

Boy, never seen that before, nor have i seen the outrageous cover-up of what they could not decipher.

Come to think of it, Life's a business

We balance out our savings and debt under the head Assets and Liabilities every year.
We ask the govt for tax rebates every financial year.
A Merger happens when we get married, in some cases more than one merger happens.
All the new products we buy can be termed as acquisitions.
When a baby comes, we call it "growth".
When the credit card people come knocking on your doors, you know that your P&L statement has gone awry.
Sometimes Viagra acts as venture capital to boost business
You're bankrupt when your doctor tells you that you are infertile.
A Hostile takeover happens when you are bankrupt (Infertile).

Now you have to be a good CEO to manage the business of life and ensure that you don't go bankrupt.
