Once upon a time, in a village, a man appeared and announced to the
villagers that he would buy monkeys for $10 each.* The villagers, seeing
that there were many monkeys around, went out to the forest and started
catching them. The man bought thousands at $10 and, as supply started to
diminish, the villagers stopped their effort. He further announced that
he would now buy at $20 for a monkey.
This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started catching
monkeys again. Soon the supply diminished even further and people
started going back to their farms. The offer increased to $25 each, and
the supply of monkeys became so small that it was an effort to even find
a monkey, let alone catch it! The man now announced that he would buy
monkeys at $50!
However, since he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant
would now buy on behalf of him. In the absence of the man, the assistant
told the villagers. "Look at all these monkeys in the big cage that the
man has collected. I will sell them to you at $35, and when the man
returns from the city, you can sell them to him for $50 each."
The villagers rounded up all their savings and bought all the monkeys.
They never saw the man nor his assistant again, only monkeys everywhere!
Now you have a better understanding of how the stock market works."


Dunno who wrote that but it's brilliant :)

Made me realise just how stupid the human race can be....

my tooth is sore :( I think it's finally time for that wisdom to come out. It's been threatening to come out for a long time now and i've been dreading it. I don;t want to go to the dentist again.

The last time I went in, just for a cleaning, he started drilling at the back of my mouth. Then he asked me to tell him if it hurts. As if my gagging and the tears pouring down my face meant i was perfectly comfortable...... !I hate dentists...i know they mean well, but they always hurt me.

i wonder what makes a dentist want to become a dentist. perhaps they want to be doctors but are too queasy to deal with all that blood and hurt and dead people. Or maybe they want to be something in the medical field, but not a doctor, coz that's too long and not a nurse, coz that pays too low...and again it has the blood and dead people factor that comes with medicine...and one by one they chuck everything off the list until they're left with nothing but dentistry...
Or maybe they just enjoy the zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzt sound the drill makes....aargh! I think like a business outsurance advert:P
