Hmmm serious bout of bloggers block (also called more work at work).

I love interesting signs and names… heres one below (I guess its a travel agency for people who Panic)

Oh by the way theres a company name I saw called Gulfart (I think it’ll look better if they split the Gulf and Art up) ;-)

    Panikkar is the real name and Panicker, also pronounced the same, is used mostly by Christian. This particular travels, quite famous and reliable is owned by Christians. Among the Hindus, Panikkars were/are the warrior caste.

    I never realized what a funny name, Egmore was, Heh Heh Heh.

    I so wanted to take a picture of the “puncher” “puntcher” sign boards [:(]. Also near the Ramakrishna Ashrama speedbreaker there is a signboard that actully says, speedlimit:0.0 km!!!!!!!!!

    A Polish man moved to the USA and married an American girl.

    Although his English was far from perfect, they got along very well
    until one day he rushed into a lawyer’s office and asked him if he could
    arrange a divorce for him – “very quick.”

    The lawyer said that the speed for getting a divorce would
    depend on the circumstances, and asked him the following questions:

    LAWYER: “Have you any grounds?”

    POLE: “JA, JA, acre and half and nice little home.”

    LAWYER: “No,” I mean what is the foundation of this case?”

    POLE: “It made of concrete.”

    LAWYER: “Does either of you have a real grudge?”

    POLE: “No, we have car port, and not need one.”

    LAWYER: “I mean, What are your relations like?”

    POLE: “All my relations still in Poland.”

    LAWYER: “Is there any infidelity in your marriage?”

    POLE: “Ja, we have hi-fidelity stereo set and good DVD player.”

    LAWYER: Does your wife beat you up?”

    POLE: “No, I always up before her.”

    LAWYER: “Is your wife a nagger?”

    POLE: “No, she white.”

    LAWYER: “WHY do you want this divorce?”

    POLE: “She going to kill me.”

    LAWYER: “What makes you think that?”

    POLE: “I got proof.

    LAWYER: “What kind of proof?”

    POLE: “She going to poison me. She buy a bottle at drugstore
    and put on shelf in bathroom. I can read, and it say, ‘Polish Remover’.

    (Paapa praani!)
