My Time's UP (Story)
Cracked pot
A water bearer in China had two large pots, each hung on the ends of
a pole which he carried across his neck. One of the pots had a crack
in it, while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of
water.
At the end of the long walks from the stream to the house, the cracked
Pot arrived only half full. For a full two years this went on daily, with
The bearer delivering only one and a half pots full of water to his house.
Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments, perfect
For which it was made.
But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and
Miserable that it was able to accomplish only half of what it had been made to do.
After 2 years of what it perceived to be a bitter failure, it spoke to the
Water bearer one day by the stream.
"I am ashamed of myself, and because this crack in my side causes
water to leak out all the way back to your house."
The bearer said to the pot, "Did you notice that there were flowers only on your side of the path, but not on the other pot's side? That's because I have always known about your flaw, and I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back, you've watered them.
For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to
Decorate the table.
Without you being just the way you are, there would not be this
beauty to grace the house"
Moral: Each of us has our own unique flaws. We're all cracked pots.
But it's the cracks and flaws we each have that make our lives
Together so very interesting and rewarding. You've just got to take each person for what they are, and look for the good in them.
Blessings to all my crackpot friends & family!
Scratching Your Testicles Can Increase Your Lifespan
Scratching Your Testicles Can Increase Your LifespanResearch Conducted At Aga Khan UniversityScratching testicles in public, as the paper notes, is fairly common in South Asia. Historians and anthropologists are at odds as to how such activity became a national past time for many. Dr. Ahmer, a leading historian at the Kennedy School of Government, attributes the Mughal emperors for introducing testicle scratching to the sub-continent. However, Inzamam-ul-Haq, the former Pakistan cricket captain, thinks that credit needs to go to the cricketers. "Pakistani men have grown up watching their heroes scratching their testicles with cricket balls on TV and then bowl yorkers. It's naive to think that the Mughals have anything to do with it."Dr. Aneeq and his team interviewed hundreds of men during the course of the study. "Our hypothesis was that men scratched themselves primarily due to hygienic issues or humid weather, but were surprised by the reasons found in the study." The study finds that 60% of men scratch their testicles because it makes them feel 'proud and macho,' while another 30% of testicle scratchers scratch their testicles merely out of habit. The finding also concluded that improved comfort which results from obsessive scratching improves overall quality of life, and thus increasing the average lifespan of a scratcher by at least five years.
A 28 year old man interviewed in the study says that it is normal for him and his friends to scratch themselves outside of girl's colleges. "Yaar two girls smiled at me and gave me that look as I was adjusting my shalwar the other day," claimed the participant. Other participants of the study claimed that it was simply the quality of the underwear. "If you wear those used underwear that you get from Bori Bazaar, then it's impossible not to scratch," explained the participant. "Sometimes I use Mospel or Mortein before I am going out for a poondi session, as that controls itching felt in the area," claimed a young student who wished not to be named.
Other medical researchers and cultural anthropologists were quick to dismiss the new findings, claiming that the paper was biased. "This report is an attempt by Dr. Aneeq to not feel guilty about always scratching his testicles in public," claimed Dr. Ghazi Rizvi. "It is an absolute abhorrent habit by Pakistani men, and now after the release of this report they will continue to scratch their testicles in public without any shame."
With the release of the study, Dr. Aneeq predicts that men will continue to scratch their testicles and adjust their pants openly in public. He expects that this will become a fashion statement and that we should get used to watching famous personalities, such as Dr. Shahid Masood, Ansar Abbasi and other members of the media men doing it constantly on live television. Wasi Zafar, a former Law Minister, contacted Maila Times for this report and claimed credit for promoting scratching testicles in public. "My great grandparents knew the benefit of such activities and I carried on the tradition on national television. I was castigated at that time, but now this report justifies my actions." Fatimah Mansoor, a student at LUMS, told Maila Times that she is happy that more men will scratch their testicles in public. "I just think that it's classy," said Ms. Mansoor. "It shows that a man has character, and isn't afraid to show the world who he is." |

Things Girls Always Notice on a Date
Do you want to impress a girl on the very first date? If you really know what girls always notice on a date, there’s a good chance you’ll be able to impress that pretty lass within the first few minutes. And you know what they say, first impressions are everything when you’re trying to have a great date! Unlike men, who don’t notice a great deal too much, women are a lot sharper on a date.
They put in a lot of effort, and they expect their date to look spruced up and primped for them. So what are the things that girls notice on a date? Men, you might just be surprised.
What girls always notice on a date #1 CLEANLINESS
You definitely need to be clean. Women like guys who can groom themselves. Even if you sport a stubble, it should look like every strand of hair exists to accentuate your face.
Clean hands and nails, crisp clothes, and a fresh face. And no bad breath or body odor. No girl would ever like that! Maybe a few kinky ones, but definitely not on a date. In a restaurant.
What girls always notice on a date #2 LABELS!
Girls love labels and fancy brands. It’s a sign anyways, isn’t it? If you can pamper yourself, you definitely can pamper her.
Go figure about big brands. Some labels may be expensive, but they don’t necessarily turn out to be the best. But the biggest names don’t come cheap. Senor D’Orsi charges over fifty grand a suit and still makes just fifty suits a year, but that’s never ever going to look bad on you, would it?
And it’s never going to hurt. Maybe just your Louis Vuitton wallet. A wee bit, you big, rich boy!
What girls always notice on a date #3 YOUR CONVERSATION SKILLS
Girls want a guy who knows how to keep his woman happy. So are you a smooth talker? Do you stutter and splutter and run out of things to say, half way through dinner and resort to “so you say something… no, no, you say…” to cover the fact that you have nothing to talk about? That’s not good. [Read: What to talk about on a first date with a girl] A woman wants to be with someone who knows to talk, and talk well. Yup, back when you were in tenth grade, backstreet boys were hot stuff! Now, it’s still a Simon Cowell.
What girls always notice on a date #4 HOW FAR CAN YOU GO?
How far can you go for your date? What can you do to pamper her? Flowers and sparkling wine are great starters. But can you call back your waiter and ask him for more flowers on your table? Or perhaps, a white candle? Anything else? A woman wants to test how far a man would be willing to go for her. Of course, subconsciously.
So pamper her. She can’t make up her mind about which dessert to pick, order three of them. Try it. It definitely works. Tell her to take a bite off all of them. She can have what she wants, and the waiter can take back the rest. If you have to be her king, treat her like the queen she deserves to be. But never be pompous, and don’t forget to be a brat boy now and then.
What girls always notice on a date #5 YOUR ATTIRE
Brands are one thing, but women definitely notice the way you dress. A Gucci shirt looks good, but untucked and crumpled on a formal date? Don’t think so. Dress for the occasion. Be pleasing to her eyes, and don’t ever go overboard. A clean shirt or a suit is the best thing to wear when you’re out at a great date restaurant in the middle of paradise. And yeah, do take her to a great place.
What girls always notice on a date #6 Ogling other women
You may have done all of the above things to impress your date, but this one wrong move can be a killer! There’s nothing more insulting for a woman than to see her man staring at other women or craning his neck to ogle at other women now and then. When you’re out on a date, remember, all eyes on your date. You can ogle at all the beautiful women and stare at a girl’s breast or her never ending legs when you’re with the guys. On a date, just focus on your date, if you do want to impress her.
