What is Globalization?

A definition of globalization that I can understand and to which I now can relate:
Question:
What is the truest definition of Globalization?
Answer:
Princess Diana's death.
Question:
How come?
Answer:
An English princess with an Egyptian boyfriend crashes in a French tunnel, riding in a German car with a Dutch engine, driven by a Belgian who was drunk on Scottish whisky, (check the bottle before you change the spelling), followed closely by Italian Paparazzi, on
Japanese motorcycles, treated by an American doctor, using Brazilian medicines. This is sent to you by a
Canadian, using American Bill Gates' technology, and you're probably reading this on your computer, that uses Taiwanese chips, and a Korean monitor, assembled by Bangladeshi workers in a Singapore plant, transported by Indian truck drivers, hijacked by Indonesians, unloaded by Sicilian longshoremen, and
trucked to you by Mexican illegal..... .

That, my friends,
is Globalization !

Buddha Said NO!!

YOU HAVE TO THIS!!!
Buddha Said NO!!

I hope that you can get the effects on your computers!
The words are great, but the movements of the faces add a lot....

I asked Buddha to take away my habit.

Buddha said, No.

It is not for me to take away,
but for you to give it up.

I asked Buddha to make my handicapped child whole.
Buddha said, No.
His spirit is whole, his body is only temporary.

I asked Buddha to grant me patience.

Buddha said, No. Patience is a byproduct of tribulations;
it isn't granted, it is learned.

I asked buddha to give me happiness.

Buddha said, No.

I give you blessings;
Happiness is up to you.

I asked buddha to spare me pain.

Buddha said, No.
Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares and brings you closer to me.

I asked Buddha to make my spirit grow.
Buddha said, No.
You must grow on your own, but I will prune you to make you fruitful.

I asked Buddha for all things
that I might enjoy life.

Buddha said, No.
I will give you life, so that you may enjoy all things.

I asked Buddha to help me LOVE others, as much as He loves me.
Buddha said... Ahhhh,
finally you have the idea.

If you love others as you would also have love yourself, send this to those you know.

THIS DAY IS YOURS
DON'T THROW IT AWAY

May Buddha Bless You,

'To the world you might be one person,
But to one person you just might be the world'

'May Buddha Bless you and keep you,
May Buddha Make his face shine upon you,
And give you Peace......Forever'

'Good friends are like stars....
You don't always see them, But you know they are always there.

Don't overwork yourself

Joke of the nite...

INDIANA BLONDE JOKE

A young blonde woman in Michigan City, was so depressed that she decided to end her life by throwing herself into the channel leading out to Lake Michigan. She went down to the docks and was about to leap into the frigid water when a handsome young sailor saw her tottering on the edge of the dock, crying her eyes out. He took pity on her and said, 'Look, you have so much to live for. I'm off to Europe in the morning, and if you like, I can stow you away on my ship. I'll take good care of you and bring you food every day.' Moving closer, he slipped his arm around her shoulders and added, 'I'll keep you happy
and you'll keep me happy.' The girl nodded yes. After all, what did she have to lose? Perhaps a fresh start in Europe would give her life new meaning. That night, the sailor brought her aboard and hid her in a lifeboat. From then on, every night he brought her three sandwiches and a piece of fruit, and they made passionate love until dawn. Three weeks later, during a routine inspection, she was discovered by the captain. 'What are you doing here?' the captain asked. 'I have an arrangement with one of the sailors,' She explained. 'I get food and a trip to Europe , and he's screwing me.'

'He certainly is,' the captain said.
'This is the Blue Chip Casino, and we never leave Michigan City .'

The Polite way to Pee

During one of her daily classes, a teacher trying to teach good manners,
asked her students the following question:

"Michael, if you were on a date having dinner with a nice young lady,how
would you tell her that you have to go to the bathroom?"

Michael said, "Just a minute I have to go pee."

The teacher responded by saying, "That would be rude and impolite.

What about you Sherman, how would you say it?"

Sherman said, "I am sorry, but I really need to go to the bathroom. I'll
be right back."

"That's better, but it's still not very nice to say the word bathroom at
the dinner table.

And you, little Johnny, can you use your brain
for once and show us your good manners?"

"I would say: Darling, may I please be excused
for a moment? I have to shake hands with a
very dear friend of mine, whom I hope to introduce you to after dinner."

The teacher fainted...

The dallas solution

Thanks for shopping at walmart

One day, in line at the company cafeteria, Joe says to Mike behind him,
"My elbow hurts like hell. I guess I'd better see a doctor."

"Listen, you don't have to spend that kind of money," Mike replies.

"There's a diagnostic computer down at Wal-Mart.
Just give it a urine sample and the computer will tell you what's wrong
and what to do about it.

It takes ten seconds and costs ten dollars . . A lot cheaper than a
doctor."

So, Joe deposits a urine sample in a small jar and takes it to Wal-Mart.

He deposits ten dollars, and the computer lights up and asks for the
urine sample. He pours the sample into the slot and waits.

Ten seconds later, the computer ejects a printout:

"You have tennis elbow. Soak your arm in warm water and avoid heavy
activity. It will improve in two weeks. Thank you for shopping @
Wal-Mart."

That evening, while thinking how amazing this new technology was, Joe
began wondering if the computer could be fooled.

He mixed some tap water, a stool sample from his dog, urine samples from
his wife and daughter, and a sperm sample for good measure.

Joe hurries back to Wal-Mart, eager to check the results. He deposits
ten dollars, pours in his concoction, and awaits the results.

The computer prints the following:

1. Your tap water is too hard. Get a water softener. (Aisle 9) 2. Your
dog has ringworm. Bathe him with anti- fungal shampoo. (Aisle 7) 3. Your
daughter has a cocaine habit. Get her into rehab.
4. Your wife is pregnant. Twins. They aren't yours.
Get a lawyer.
5. If you don't stop playing with yourself, your elbow will never get
better!

Thank you for shopping @ Wal-Mart

Welcome February 2010....!!!

Thats what I call a pet. -- Read the Story

IF you thought the legend of the horse whisperer was impressive,
here ' s an animal tale with even more bite.Rather than trying to
tame wild stallions, fearless Costa Rican fisherman Chito prefers
a playful wrestle in the water with his best pal Pocho - a deadly
17ft crocodile. The 52-year-old daredevil draws gasps of amazement
from onlookers by wading chest-deep into the water, then whistling
for his 980lb buddy - and giving him an affectionate hug. Crazy Chito
says: "Pocho is my best friend. This is a very dangerous routine but
we have a good relationship. He will look me in the eye and not attack
me. "It is too dangerous for anyone else to come in the water. It is only
ever the two of us." Chito made friends with the croc after finding him
with a gunshot wound on the banks of the Central American state's
Parismina river 20 years ago. He had been shot in the left eye by a
cattle farmer and was close to death. But Chito enlisted the help of several
pals to load the massive reptile into his boat. He says: "When I found Pocho
in the river he was dying, so I brought him into my house.




"He was very skinny, weighing only around 150lb I gave him chicken
and fish and medicine for six months to help him recover. "I stayed by
Pocho ' s side while he was ill, sleeping next to him at night. I just
wanted him to feel that somebody loved him, that not all humans are
bad . "It meant a lot of sacrifice. I had to be there every day. I love all
animals - especially ones that have suffered." It took years before
Chito felt that Pocho had bonded with him enough to get closer to
the animal. He says: "After a decade I started to work with him.
At first it was slow, slow. I played with him a bit, slowly doing more.
"Then I found out that when I called his name he would come over to me.
" At one point during his recovery, Chito left the croc in a lake near his house.
But as he turned to walk away, to his amazement Pocho got out of the
water and began to follow him home. Chito recalls: "That convinced me
the crocodile could be tame." But when he first fearlessly waded into the
water with the giant reptile his family was so horrified they couldn ' t bear
to watch. So instead, he took to splashing around with Pocho when they
were asleep. Four years ago Chito showed some of his tricks to friends,
including getting the animal to close his eyes on command, and they convinced
him to go public with a show. Now he swims and plays with Pocho as well as
feeding him at the lake near his home in the lowland tropical town of Sarapiqui
The odd couple have now become a major tourist attraction, with several tour
operators, including Crocodile Adventures, taking visitors on touring cruises to
see the pair. On the Crocodile Adventures website it describes the spectacle as:
"One of the most amazing things that no cruise ship passenger will want to miss,
the adventure show between the man and the crocodile."


American crocodiles, which inhabit North, Central and South America , can
live to around 70 years old. It is estimated that Pocho is around 50 - almost the
same age as his owner. They are also said to be less aggressive than their Nile
or Australian counterparts. Chito, whose real name is Gilberto Shedden, was given
hi nickname by friends, who also call him "Tarzan Tico" - Tico being a familiar word
for a Costa Rican. And he certainly plays up to the name, wearing a tattered pair of
leopard-print shorts for his half-hour performances with Pocho. A keen conservationist,
he also offers boat tours, where he eagerly points out a variety of wildlife. But he only
charges a few dollars to watch the breathtaking crocodile show, claiming he does not
want to cash in on Pocho. He says: "He’s my friend; I don’t want to treat him like a
slave or exploit him. "I am happy because I rescued him and he is happy with me
because he has everything he needs."
