Just got this, and it IS a good one.

Before the inauguration, George Bush was invited to a get-acquainted
tour of the White House. After drinking several glasses of iced tea, he
asked Bill Clinton if he could use his personal bathroom.

He was astonished to see that the President had a gold urinal.

That afternoon, George told his wife, Laura, about the urinal. “Just
think,” he said, “When I am President, I’ll get to have a gold urinal!”

Later, when Laura had lunch with Hillary at her tour of the White
House, she told Hillary how impressed George had been with his
discovery of the fact that in the President’s private bathroom, the
President had a gold urinal.

That evening, Bill and Hillary were getting ready for bed. Hillary
turned to Bill and said, “Well, I found out who pissed in your
saxophone.”

Saw two shows on this on a plane once.

Its a nice show, with a lot of self deprecating humor.  I hope it will continued to be aired.

“Flight of the Conchords” defy struggling TV story - Yahoo! News

U.S. cult hit television show “Flight of the Conchords” follows the travails of a marginally talented musical duo from New Zealand trying to make it in New York City, but in reality the pair are far from struggling.

A Doctor was addressing a large audience:

“The material we put into our stomachs is enough to have killed most of
us sitting here, years ago. Red meat is awful. Soft drinks corrode your
stomach lining. Chinese food is loaded with MSG. High fat diets can be
disastrous.

But Can anyone here tell
me what food it is that causes the most grief and suffering for years
after eating it?”

After several seconds of quiet, a 75-year-old man in
the front row raised his hand, and softly said, “Wedding Cake?”

Somebody in Wales needed a bilingual road sign, so a person who speaks Welch sends a note for a road sign with the following message to be translated.

“No entry for heavy goods vehicles. Residential site only.”

the translator wasn’t around, and the email sent an automated reply which said.

”
“I am out of the office at the moment. Please send any work to be translated.”

The person upon receiving it thought it was the official english translation, and therefore had the road sign printed, and posted  in the subdivision….

Swansea is not a city that every swan would choose as its home. Its average monthly temperature never exceeds 19 degrees Centigrade–yes, 66 degrees Fahrenheit. But its city council tries to make it a livable place.

The good news and the bad news about technology is that there are always great websites that makes us wastes time every week!

An entertaining site is the FAIL blog ,which you can gleam from http://failblog.org.  I shows various kinds of failed endeavors, and it is entertaining and hilarious.  When I chanced upon it, it was a straightforward simple blog, but now people can now tag, dig, and do all kinds of things. Based on the comments there, it is a very popular blog, and it also has now lots of ads.

There are now many copycats of this, and one of them which is also entertaining is at http://mediaeater.tumblr.com/ which dubs itself as the  original, first fail blog..

Protester tosses eggs at Ballmer

Steve Ballmer is accustomed to audiences tossing difficult questions in his direction. Eggs are a different matter entirely.

Microsoft’s CEO was forced to take cover behind a desk Monday during an appearance at a university in Budapest, Hungary, when a man in the audience interrupted to protest — and then threw three eggs at Ballmer.

I am pleased that very soon, my second humor book will be coming out.

The first book has a subtitle ” Business is a Joke, and we can prove
it”. Our second book subtitle is ” Technology Creates Morons, and we
can Powerpoint it.”

Look forward to the same irreverent humor in the workplace.

We are pleased that our<a href=”http://www.itsngenius.net”> humor toon</a> is now listed in http://comics.alltop.com

Next week, we are anticipating the first eNGy Business humor Cartoons to be released.

This is an initial 72 pages of humor, and our first print run of 3,000 copies will be mainly given out to customers, friends and partners, as well as to be sold in our own retail stores.

Here is the front cover.

If we don’t get overwhelmed by work, and continue to see humor amidst all the seriousness in the office, we are hoping that Book 2 will be coming out by June 2008….

The last three months, i have been pretty much occupied in trying to be ‘funny’.  This is in line with my thinking of going into the Blue Ocean Strategy.  Do something other people are not doing.  Take the Road Less Travelled.  So instead of funneling resources to usual marketing, we decided to use it to sponsor our own Toons which when popular, will help also create our company brand.

It has been a great learning experience, and I want to share some of my reflections, as well as answer some questions.  Launching a brand ( humorous at that) is like any business venture and I would like to relate some of the things i learned to the general business.

Why call it eNGy?

Its a branding initiative.  Last 2005, we decided to launch a computer chain store which we called NGenius.  NGenius ( which is a play of my family name) was a unique name, and it is a word that means innovation, solution to a problem, being cool!  Our slogan became “Its NGenius! The Latest word for cool! ” as the stores were predominantly selling gadgets for the new generation.
