the desperate & the idiot

i got this story from a friend

------------------------------
There's this guy on at bar, just looking at his drink.
He stays like that for half an hour.
Then, this big trouble-making truck driver steps next to him, takes the drink from the guy, and gulps it down.

The poor man starts crying.

The truck driver says:
"Come on man, I was just joking.
Here, I'll buy you another drink.
I just can't see a man crying."

"No, it's not that.
This day is the worst of my life.
First, I fall asleep, and I go late to my office.
My boss, outraged, fires me.

When I leave the building, to my car, I found out it was stolen.
The police, they say they can do nothing.
I get a cab to return home, and when I leave it, I remember I left my wallet and credit cards there.
The cab driver just drives away.
I go home, and when I get there, I find my wife in bed with the gardener.
I leave home, and come to this bar.
And when I was thinking about putting an end to my life, you show up and drink my poison!!!"

idiot test for professionals

the following short quiz consists of 4 questions and tells whether you are qualified to be a "professional".
the questions are not that difficult.

1. how do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator?

2. how do you put an elephant into a refrigerator?

3. the lion king is hosting an animal conference. all the animals attend except one. which animal does not attend?

ok, even if you did not answer the first three questions correctly, you still have one more chance to show your abilities.

4. there is a river you must cross. but it is inhabited by crocodiles. how do you manage it?

--------
answers:

1. how do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator?
open the refrigerator, put the giraffe in and close the door.
this question tests whether you tend to do simple things in an overly complicated way.

2. how do you put an elephant into a refrigerator?
if you said "open the refrigerator, put in the elephant and close the door", you're wrong you idiot!
correct answer: open the refrigerator, take out the giraffe, put in the elephant and close the door.
this tests your ability to think through the repercussions of your actions.

3. the lion king is hosting an animal conference. all the animals attend except one. which animal does not attend?
the elephant. the elephant is in the refrigerator. this tests your memory.

4. there is a river you must cross. but it is inhabited by crocodiles. how do you manage it?
you swim across. all the crocodiles are attending the animal meeting. this tests whether you learn quickly from your mistakes.

---------------------------------------------
according to "andersen consulting worldwide", around 90% of the professionals they tested got all questions wrong.
but many preschoolers got several correct answers.
"anderson consulting" says this conclusively disproves the theory that most professionals have the brains of a four year old.

---------------------------
My feelings are filled with the performance of time,
With a clear voice, the endless future continues to
walk to your eyes.

My heart is honestly fragile.
Everybody around me is breaking.
Suddenly, in the sudden rain, although you
stopped again. You still believe in me.

Higher than everybody else. Close to the sky.
I am close to something bright and shiny.
I wished for light.
If I were burning, I will be o.k.
Everything is accompanying the truth.

"The boy saw the the hatred to which he is hiding
a persons shadow."
I don't want to see this kind of world anymore.
No more! No more! No more!

But I still think of you,
even if the season is coming to an end.
It has rained many times but now it has stopped.
It looks like the scene which I always watched with
my eyes closed.

The person in pain. The dream which never comes true.
Why does love have to be born in my chest?
The flowers that are blossoming are sinking back into the ground.

The time is filled with love.
With a clear voice continues to
to give the endless night to your eyes.

wanna know the result?
take the online test here (tickle.com)
but you must login there to get the result

this is the example of the result you'll get:

---------------------------------------------
aAng, you are a Bossy Brat

Large and in charge — that's what you hope to be. And while it's never a bad idea to have a little ambition, you'll do what it takes to get to the top. Unfortunately, it's not always the best way to make friends. Try to remember that life's all about give and take. And sometimes, you have to listen to other people's ideas, especially before you, uh, borrow them.

Being CEO of everything doesn't mean you've gotta step on other people's toes. So, slow down, cowboy. Take a big, long breath. Ahhhh. Doesn't that feel better?
---------------------------------------------

well, honestly, that's not how i really am... yet :P
this test doesn't judge how our real personality is, but only shows our hidden "dark side" which can appear on certain times
everybody has his/her own dark side
so do i >:D
