Feb 4, 2003 Tea! We know, that in the prehistoric times, in the UK, the habit was born to drink tea during the Christmas days. The English started to feel bad about this, because tea and Christmas were not officially known in prehistoric Britain. This made the English insecure which you can still see in their language today: “Isn’t it?”, “I suppose it is.”, “Don’t I?”. Also in Victorian days, the habit of drinking tea during Christmas continued. At that time this was not so difficult anymore, since the English drink tea every day of the year. Special Detail: The brother of late Queen Victoria asked her once the historical question: “Would you like to have sugar in your tea?” Victoria answered: “Yes, please” Still you hear people quote Queen Victoria. Last thing to mention is that the habit of drinking tea in present times is completely gone. Even though most British people ignore this completely, this is a pity. Application letter I thought it would be interesting to show you a standard application letter, which I wrote a lot right after I graduated: Dear sir, Responding to your ad, in which you ask for personnel, considering and accepting, as described by you, also considering article 2 of your vacancy, and in such a way consequently as the person who signed this letter, aspiring a position like this, I remain. Hoping that I wrote an application letter, I sign. Awaiting your rejection, Etc, etc, etc... Newspaper article: Fuel Tank The fuel tank that was lost by an F16, crashed in the Nevada dessert. 2 women had to go to the doctor. On their way to the doctor, they got the fuel tank on their heads. There for they had to go to the doctor. The doctor was ordered to explain. There for the women found the doctor’s home empty. On their way back home they got a second fuel tank on their heads. The pilot was ordered to explain. On his way to his superiors, he lost 2 fuel tanks over the desert of Nevada. Nobody was hurt. At first there seemed to be word about 2 women that had to go to the doctor, but for unknown reasons this meeting never happened. One liners: “How would you like to be cut” asked the hair dresser to me. I said: “Topless please” Periodical abstention as anti-conception does work if you keep 3 very important rules in mind: 1 The woman must have a very regular cycle 2 You have to be good at math 3 You have to really love children Einstein: My wife does not understand me. ------------ Peter Faber is Dutch and has recently moved to Brazil.
