Is the water's wet?

I recently acquired a custom made fish tank from a friend. This dude has been rearing fish since young and had this really expensive custom made cool tank which he needed no more.

Well, I always wanted to have my own aquatic habitat in my room and guess this was the sign. But that's not what this post is about.

As i was carrying the tank into my lift from my car, a middle aged man, my neighbour, stepped into the lift with me and asked

" Fish Tank ah? "

After a second or two I replied

"Well, yeah"

No offence to the man, but that was really a dumb ass question.
But then again, I guess its kinda instinct.People tend to ask stupid questions when if you really think about it, you probably know the answer.

Ever bumped into a friend in a cinema, and usually the 1st sentence would be

" Hey, Watch movie ah? "

Sometimes it can be quite irritating. I mean what the hell would I be doing in a cinema for?
Theres a way around it.
The answers.

When you meet a friend in a cinema
"Hey Watch Movie ah "
"Nah, I paid $8.50 to use the cinema toilet. It's a toilet thing"

After the movie
" Hey, nice show rite! Did you see the part where KingKong takes on the 2 T-Rexs "
" Nah, I was reading a book la. "

I should have answered my neighbour in my lift
" Nah, it's a tank for me. I want to swim in it"

Suicide

I was reading rather an interesting news in the papers on suicide.
It stated that once an individual attempts suicide and fails,they stop trying.

I don't undertstand.

Why don't they keep trying? What's changed?
Is thier life better now?

NO. In fact,its worse, because now they've found out one more thing that they failed in

And that's why these people don't succeed at life to begin with. They give up too easy.

Quitters.

I say, pills don't work? Try a rope. Broke a few bones from the 6th floor? Try Swissotel.

Theres nothing more rewarding than reaching a goal you've set for yourself.

Public Speaking

I recently read that Public Speaking is the No.1 fear for humans next to death. Fear of death is No.2

What's up with that?

You mean you go to a funeral, you better off being in the casket then delivering an eulogy?

People say the strangest things when asked about fear i think.

Birthdays

I am getting a little tired of pretending to be excited every time it's somebody birthday. I Mean really, at this point, what's the big deal?
How many times do we have to celebrate that someone was born?
Every year, every person, over and over
All you did was not die for 12 months
Whats the big deal?

And the other thing, everyone at Birthdays pretends they like the gift

" Do you really like it?"
"Yes, i do"**
"Because if you don't you can return it and get a refund"**
"No, No i really like it"**
"Really, it looks good on you"**

**These are all lies

Stop lying people!
Can't we just make a list of all the things that we would want as presents and send them to our friends.
If you don't wanna buy me something, Don't Bother
If you cant afford it, Don't Bother

Next time, lets us all be very upfront about it

"Happy Birthday Karun!"
"What crap is this? what would i do with this shit"
"Err..i though you would like it....
"Didn't you get my list? You can keep this dude! Care for a drink?"

Lets all be a friend
