Jokes : Too smart for the 1st Grade
A first-grade teacher was having trouble with one of her students.
The teacher asked, "Little Johnny, what is your problem?"
Little Johnny answered, "I'm too smart for the first-grade. My sister is in the third-grade and I'm smarter than she is! I think I should be in the third-grade too!"
The teacher had enough. She took Little Johnny to the principal's office. While Little Johnny waited in the outer office, the teacher explained to the principal what the situation was.
The principal told the teacher he would give the boy a test and if he failed to answer any of his questions he was to go back to the first-grade and behave. The teacher agreed. Little Johnny was brought in and the conditions were explained to him and he agreed to take the test. Principal: "What is 3 x 3?"
Little Johnny: "9"
Principal: "What is 6 x 6?"
Little Johnny: "36"
And so it went with every question the principal thought a third-grade should know.
The principal looked at the teacher and told her, "I think Little Johnny can go to the third-grade. "The Teacher said to the principal, "Let me ask him some questions?"
The principal and Little Johnny both agreed. Teacher: "What does a cow have four of that I have only two of?
Little Johnny: "Legs"
Teacher: "What is in your pants that you have but I do not have?" (The principal wondered, why she asked such a question!)
Little Johnny: "Pockets"
Teacher: "What does a dog do that a man steps into?"
Little Johnny: "Pants"
Teacher: "What's starts with a C and ends with a T, is hairy, oval, delicious and contains thin whitish liquid?" (The principal's eyes opened really wide but before he could stop the answer...)
Little Johnny: "Coconut"
Teacher: "What goes in hard and pink then comes out soft and sticky?"
Little Johnny: "Bubblegum"
Teacher: "What do men do standing up, woman do sitting down and dogs do on three legs?"
Little Johnny: "Shake hands"
Teacher: "Now I will ask some 'Who am I' sort of questions, okay?"
Little Johnny: "Yup"
Teacher: "You stick your poles inside me. You tie me down to get me up. I get wet before you do."
Little Johnny: "Tent"
Teacher: "A finger goes in me. You fiddle with me when you're bored. The best man always has me first." (The Principal was looking restless and bit tense)
Little Johnny: "Wedding Ring"
Teacher: "I come in many sizes. When I'm not well, I drip. When you blow me, you feel good."
Little Johnny: "Nose"
Teacher: "I have a stiff shaft. My tip penetrates! I come with a quiver."
Little Johnny: "Arrow"
Teacher: "What word starts with an 'F' and ends in 'K' that means a lot of excitement?"
Little Johnny: "Firetruck"
The principal breathed a sigh of relief and told the teacher, "Put his little ass in the fifth-grade. I got the last ten questions wrong myself.""
The teacher asked, "Little Johnny, what is your problem?"
Little Johnny answered, "I'm too smart for the first-grade. My sister is in the third-grade and I'm smarter than she is! I think I should be in the third-grade too!"

My take on this:
That's the current layoff that has occurred in the US alone.
More information on the layoffs since November fro the companies. Apparently the largest layoffs came from Citigroup, one of the largest banking organization. US is already in a recession since December 2007, and if this continues on until second quarter 2009, it will be one of the longest recession period since the Great Depression. The other economies officially in recession currently: Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, New Zealand, Ireland, Italy, Germany and Britain.
I don't know about you, but to say Malaysia is 'shielded' (as mentioned by some ministers) from the impact and hiccups of the current world situation is undermining and being delusional to say the least.
Next year will be an 'interesting' year, especially for banking/insurance/retail and real estate in Malaysia. For the opportunists, it is a great time to do some smart investing (buy low prices, wait, and sell high) and let 'time' does its magic, although most will be very conservative. As cliche as it sounds, Warren Buffett's "Be brave when others are fearful, and be fearful when others are brave" holds a true ring. Coupled that with a bit of intelligence, patience and logical (not emotional) investing, I believe the strategy will bear its fruits when the market is up again.
Happy investing and carpe diem!

Current Financial Crisis explained in simple terms
One day, a plain-looking man came with a pretty-looking SYT (Sweet Young Thing) to the 'LOUIS VOTTON( LV) store in Causeway Bay (Hong Kong Island.) He chose an expensive LV bag worth
HKD 65,000 for the SYT.
When it came time to pay, the man took out a chequebook and wrote out a cheque.
The salesperson was hesitant because the couple hadn't shopped there before.
The man discerned what the salesperson was thinking and he said
calmly:'I sense that you are concerned that this
cheque may bounce, right? Today is Saturday and the banks are closed.
Let me suggest that I leave the cheque and the handbag here. When the cheque clears on Monday, you can deliver the handbag to this lady.How about that?
The salesperson was reassured and gladly accepted the suggestion.In addition, he waived the delivery charges.He promised that he would personally make sure that this gets done.
On Monday, the salesperson took the cheque to the bank. The cheque bounced! The irate salesperson called up the client, who told him:
'What is the big deal? Neither you nor I have suffered any loss.
Last Saturday night, I went to bed and screwed that girl already!
Oh, by the way, I thank you for your cooperation.'
This story reveals the nature of the sub-prime mortgage crisis. When
people have high hopes for huge future returns, they lower their guard about the potential risks. This pretty girl thought that the HKD65,000 LV bag was going to come home on Monday, and so she lowered her guard.
Therefore, she believed that her investment in the ONS
(one night stand) was worth it even though it was based upon huge and highly uncertain risks.
Investment companies are great with packaging high return (but high
risk) deals. The Chinese stock speculators are like this pretty woman.
As such, they deserve to lose money. Without people like these, how are people going to make money from the stock market?
As for the media and the stock analysts, they often play the role of
the LV salesperson.

New job... anyone ?
The crisis has left food bound for Bangkok stranded in a number of airports across the globe. A shipment of 1,000 live Canadian lobsters was stuck at the Hong Kong airport and eventually flown back to Canada, according to Nuntiya Hameunggull, general manager of Gourmet One, a food distributor that ordered the crustaceans.
A container filled with fish, French cheeses, foie gras, many types of berries and a large white truffle worth $4,000 was stranded at Charles de Gaulle Airport near Paris last week. All the contents were sold off in France except the truffle, which was for a party in Bangkok on Dec. 7 and was flown to Malaysia and driven to Bangkok by van up the Malay Peninsula and through Thailand, a distance of 1,500 kilometers, or 930 miles.
