Why men die before women

LOL PIC: Why men die before women

Statistically, the average First World woman lives 22.6% longer than the average First World man. Okay I made that up, as convincing as it sounded. But the point is that women today are out-living men more than ever – slowly building an underground, right-wing, feminist society that will one day rule the entire world.

But perhaps women do not owe their longevity to a well-balanced diet or anti-aging L’Oréal products. Perhaps it is freak accidents such as these that place men lower down on the survival scale…

It's those damn sexy women that seem to cause the most deaths in men

Who wants a Foozi foozball table?

FOR SALE: Cutom-branded 2010 World Cup Foozi foozball table

Dear Potentially Interested Reader,

I’ve won this fantastic Foozi foozball table as part of a blogger challenge. They’re giving me the opportunity to have it fully custom-branded. Because I don’t own a business/company myself, I thought that such a table would be put to better use in the hands of someone who does.

The idea is that a respectable company (or individual) would have the table fully custom-branded however they see fit and then use it as a sort of interactive advert. It could either be used as a personal company table for staff or placed in a busy area where it would entertain the broader public and be more appreciated than it would be if kept for my own personal use/entertainment.

An example of a Foozi branded table

The gents at Foozi have sent me a technical, architectural looking template of the table - illustrating exactly where each bit of branding goes. The table itself is massive, with side panels and a coin slot. Foozi have said that they will put the whole thing together using whatever designs are sent to them!

More about Foozi
Foozi is the world’s first foosball table advertising platform. Foozi Gaming places free foosball tables in high-traffic, social venues throughout South Africa that are targeted at the urban youth market. Foozi’s eye-catching soccer tables provide an exciting, competitive and interactive form of entertainment. It’s a feel-good, do-good advertising platform.

I simply feel that this opportunity of having the table fully custom-branded should certainly be seized! As mentioned I don’t personally have much to brand myself, so I’d like to pass this opportunity on.

Please let me know if you’re interested by leaving a comment below, or drop me an email. If not interested, could you suggest any companies that might be?

Check out the Foozi website for more info on their tables.

Kind Regards,

The Power of Interpretation

HUMOUR: Once upon a time in Italy …

SEVERAL centuries ago, the Pope decreed that all the Jews had to convert to Catholicism or leave Italy. There was a huge outcry from the Jewish community, so the Pope offered a deal.

He’d have a religious debate with the leader of the Jewish community. If the Jews won, they could stay in Italy; if the Pope won, they’d have to convert to Catholicism or leave Italy.

The Jewish people met and picked an aged and wise, learned rabbi to represent them in the debate. However, as the rabbi spoke no Italian, and the Pope spoke no Yiddish, they agreed that it would be a ’silent’ debate.

On the chosen day the Pope and rabbi sat opposite each other. The Pope raised his hand and showed three fingers. The rabbi looked back and raised one finger.

Next, the Pope waved his finger around his head. The rabbi pointed to the ground where he sat.

The Pope brought out a communion wafer and a chalice of wine. The rabbi pulled out an apple.

With that, the Pope stood up and declared himself beaten and said that the rabbi was too clever. The Jews could stay in Italy!

Later the cardinals met with the Pope and asked him what had happened.

The Pope said: “First I held up three fingers to represent the Trinity. He responded by holding up a single finger to remind me there is still only one God common to both our beliefs.
Then, I waved my finger around my head to show him that God was all around us. He responded by pointing to the ground to show that God was also right here with us.
I pulled out the wine and wafer to show that God absolves us of all our sins. He then pulled out an apple to remind me of the original sin. He bested me at every move and I could not continue.”

Meanwhile, the Jewish community gathered to ask the rabbi how he’d won.

“I haven’t a clue!” said the rabbi. “First, he told me that we had three days to get out of Italy, so I gave him the finger.
Then he tells me that the whole country would be cleared of Jews and I told him that we were staying right here.”
“And then what?” asked a woman.
“Who knows?” said the rabbi. “He took out his lunch so I took out mine.”

Happy Friday!
