Partial Hiatus

I anticipate another three weeks of activities which may take me away from blogging and blog-hopping. I may not be able to do it as much as before but will do so when I get a chance. Please bear with me.

Thank you, my dear friends.

I Like Your Thinking

A teacher asks her class, "If there are five birds sitting on a fence and you shoot one of them, how many will be left?" She calls on little Johnny.

"None, they all fly away with the first gunshot."

The teacher replies, "The correct answer is four, but I like your thinking." Then Little Johnny says, "I have a question for YOU. There are three women sitting on a bench having ice cream. One is delicately licking the sides of the triple scoop of ice cream. The second is gobbling down the top and sucking the cone. The third is biting off the top of the ice cream. Which one is married?"

The teacher, blushing a great deal, replies, "Well I suppose the one that's gobbled down the top and sucked the cone."

"The correct answer is the one with the wedding ring on... but I like your thinking."

*************************************

U.S. President George Bush's recently underwent a routine colon examination (Washington Post). CNN reported that the doctors found 5 polyps from the President's colon.

Anyway, colonoscopies are no joke but these comments during the exam were quite humorous. Remember colonoscopy patients have sedatives in their systems. A physician claimed that the following are actual comments made by his patients (predominately male) while he was performing their colonoscopies:

1. 'Take it easy, Doc. You're boldly going where no man has gone before!'

2. 'Find Amelia Earhart yet?'

3. 'Can you hear me NOW?'

4. 'Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?'

5. 'You know, in Arkansas , we're now legally married.'

6. 'Any sign of the trapped miners, Chief?'

7. 'You put your left hand in; you take your left hand out...'

8. 'Hey! Now I know how a Muppet feels!'

9. 'Hey Doc, let me know if you find my dignity.'

10. 'You used to be an executive at Enron, didn't you?'

11. 'God, now I know why I am not gay.'

12 'Could you write a note for my wife saying that my head is not upthere?'

Love the 'I like your thinking'. Will miss you when you are away from blogging.
Wonder what will keep you away cos in this age you could blog almost anywhere and anytime with a laptop. Please find time, otherwise you will never qualify to be Pee Em of this country cos you cant find the time. In this modern age you must have time for everything. Multitasking is the word. Do it while you are doing something else that requires the least of your mental faculty. I guess you get what I mean hahahaha.

JT,
All I can say is WOW! when i saw my Life As I See It to be listed on your Malaysian Connection. I am most honoured.
Thanks.

Hi Zawi

I am multitasking quite a bit these days. My activities are not taking me away completely from blogging. I am sure I will be able to find time to do it - just not as much as before.

Thanks for listing me on your blogroll. I am equally honoured. :)

Have a good weekend.

P.S. I decided to rephrase the message in my post. I realised it did sound like I was going to be completely away. oops... :)
There is a difference between "will" and "may". :D Thanks.

winniethepooh said...

nyonyapenang said...

Resting Is For A Longer Journey Ahead.

"I like your thinking" :)

silversarina said...

Will ( not may.. )miss you....

Nak 'cuti' pun sempat nakal-nakal..hey... I like your thinking !!

J.T. said...

Winnie - Thanks. Hopefully you won't have to hang on too long. :)

Nyonya Penang - I'll be back when I am good and ready.. for sure. You have a good weekend. :)

Linken Lim - Rest is good .. it's just that I am not getting much. ;) I hope to get it after the summer is over.

Sarinah (LUJ) - hahaha.. I selalu nakal lah (just don't show it all the time) :D
No cuti lah... less time to blog -that's all.

TO ALL, thanks for your support. I appreciate it very much.

Hi JT,

Like my mind played tricks on me. I thought I left a note already..hmm..nevermind..here;s one again.

JT dear do what you have to do. It is important to take breaks and have little changes here and there. We are only human, the brain slows down with routine, lemme tell ya. Love both the jokes. Heard the first one before, but boy I can read that again and again.

Take care love. Hear from ya soon.

zewt said...

hahahaha... so the way you eat ice cream has nothing to do with u being married or otherwise eh? :P

dont be away for too long.... come back soon!

p/s: you're in europe... also dont like bush ah?

Lee said...

Hi JT, get your batteries recharged, then have a tune-up and see you soon.
Be cool, Lee.

J.T. said...

Ruby - Hi Ruby, a break every now and then is good. Sometimes that down time is needed to get other things in order.
At this point of time, I am not getting much rest due to juggling of a few things at a time. So, I have no choice but to take away some blogging time to make way for other stuff. I'll be around and will try to drop by some blogs when I can. :) You take care too, dear.

Zewt - Hey Zewt, actually, it can be confusing if we go with the ice cream method because some unmarried people know how to work around an ice cream and its cone ... and certain fruits, foods and vegetables. hahaha

As for Bush, I think he is generally disliked throughout the world.

U.Lee - Hi Lee, hopefully by the time summer is over, I will have all systems going again. Right now, I feel like one of those jalopies barely making it out of its parking spot. :)

TO ALL, thanks for your support. I appreciate it very much.

I did try the other mix, though - Laksa (Coconut Curry). yummm...
I will be around, just not often as before.

Pi Bunny - Sorry, hahaha, could not help it.
That is true, I cannot keep away from blogging. So I will be visiting every time I get a chance. :)

Mush - Hiya Mush, You have a good week too. See ya around. :)

Maegen - Hello Maegen. Welcome to my blog.
"I like your thinking" is sounds sweet and encouraging for a child but we have to be careful not to encourage too much. They get cheeky! :D Thanks for dropping by. Hope to see you around.

svllee - Hi Steven, I am caught up with other things, which takes me away from blogging like before. Summer holidays? Not this year. Just a little bit of break here and there but not visiting anywhere. Have a great week.

Since, it's summer time - you can be any where on earth right? How's the weather like at ur place? Not dreary UK's summer?

J.T. said...

Hi Rad

No, I am not in Malaysia. I won't be there for a while. I would love to meet you someday, though. :)
I am in Germany as I write this. The weather has been good, overall. Enjoying a little cooler weather this week with some rain every other day.
I'll be back to blogging soon.

JamyTan said...

Sorry that I have not been around for a while.
Just drop by to say hello.

Kak Teh said...

Anonymous said...

Hi J.T.

That was a good post. I sure like the Prez Bush one, it's so true!

Take care, JT can have a good one.

J.T. said...

Jamy (Kayatan) - Hi Jamy, thanks for dropping by. Hope all is well with you. :)

Kak Teh - Hi Kak Teh, hope you get your rest soon. *breathe, breathe* :D

Dawn - Hi Dawn. I just tried leaving a comment in your blog but it did not appear. hmmm..
Anyway, glad you like the one on Prez Bush. You take care too. :)

Anonymous said...

Hi JT, thanks for popping in. I need to fix the comment moderation thing. When you submit a comment, it's there, but it will not appear til I go into WP to approve it. Sorry for the confusion. :)

J.T. said...

Hi Dawn

When I put in a second message and it did not appear, I guessed you had the moderation thing on. Don't worry about it. Keep it on, if you prefer it that way. I will know next time I visit your blog. :)

Have a good weekend.

david santos said...

I come to congratulate you with your work and to desire a good Month to you of August in vacation. In Portugal already we walk for beaches and to live the heat of the Summer.

Editor said...

Hi J.T.,

Back again blogging. Was away in school teaching Korean kids English for a month of their holidays in Malaysia. My postings are expected to be irregular for another month because of other activities. Hope all is well with you. I believe your postings are going to be irregular as well for some time. Please send in your comments when you can. Cheers.

Anonymous said...

JT Darling...where are you going? What could be keep you away from blogging, I wonder...anyhow, cepat balik sini eh...we want to hear from you...

Cheers and love.

J.T. said...

David - Hello David, the beach sounds like a good place. I think I need that. Although the weather has not been too bad in Germany, I could use some sea, its breeze and sand for relaxation. Thanks for visiting. You have a good weekend. :)

Rajahram - Hi Rajahram, glad to see you are back, albeit irregular. Same case here. I will probably be back to regular blogging in September. I will drop by your blog when I can. I heard on the news those two Korean hostages were freed. Thank God.

Raden Galoh - Darling Dalilah, I am not going anywhere... as yet. I was busy with a one-week camp for children at church, attended some short courses needed for this camp plus other stuff. I will balik soon. I was also suffering from blogger's block (if there is such a thing lah). :)

Apandi said...

Your three weeks is almost up !!!

J.T. said...

Hi Apandi

Yes, I know. I am almost out of my partial hiatus. As you wrote your comment, I was working on a new look for my blog.

Glad to see you are back too. :)
