Retired US Admiral becomes Walmart greeter

You just have to appreciate this one. Young people forget that we old people had a career before we retired.

 Charley, a new retiree-greeter at Wal-Mart, just couldn't seem to get to work on time. Every day he was 5, 10, 15 minutes late. But he was a good worker, really tidy, clean-shaven, sharp-minded and a real credit to the company and obviously demonstrating their "Older Person Friendly" policies.

 One day the boss called him into the office for a talk.

 "Charley, I have to tell you, I like your work ethic, you do a bang-up job when you finally get here; but your being late so often is quite bothersome."

 "Yes, I know boss, and I am working on it."

 "Well good, you are a team player. That's what I like to hear”.

 “Yes sir, I understand your concern and I will try harder”.

 Seeming puzzled, the manager went on to comment, “I know you're retired from the Armed Forces. What did they say to you there if you showed up in the morning late so often?"

 The old man looked down at the floor, then smiled. He chuckled quietly, then said with a grin,

"They usually saluted and said, Good morning, Admiral, can I get your coffee, sir”?

Comical Conversation with Dad

Fake eggs, fake cooking oil ....from China

Since the 1990s fake chicken eggs have been made in China, said to cost half the price of the genuine ones. Also thrown-away cooking oil is being used in some eateries and restaurants in China. All these in the quest for a fast buck. And false eggs are found in South-East Asia. I have bought a few from the supermarts and sundry goods shops. Even salted eggs are no longer what they claim to be - the york is clearly fake when cooked, and so is the white. Chemicals and other toxic stuff are masqueraded as foods. Terrible world we are living in today.

Typical Asian Drivers

Parking and some mannerisms of our car drivers. Surprisingly overtaking and cutting into your lanes are left out, which are outstanding daily feats on our roads. So this sketch is not typical but comical.

2016 CNY Riot Hong Kong Mongkok

There was an all-night riot on 8th February 2016 when Hong Kong authorities disallowed unlicenced hawkers from selling their goods in the Kowloon area of Mong Kok. The police fired a few shots into the air and this started the riot in which some police officers were injured. The rioters started a fire on the street and hurled bricked and bottles at the police. The police withstood the riot and the streets were cleared of debris.

Don't mess with the Hong Kongers.

Maybe they want me to stop blogging on their blogspot. But they have not officially told me to stop.
