Cool Dutch Department Store

I worked in The Netherlands many years ago.  I found their sense of humour similar to ours.

Hema is a Dutch department store. The first store opened Nov. 24, 1926 in

Amsterdam. Now there are 150 stores all over the Netherlands.

Take a look at Hema's product page. You can't order anything and it is in

Dutch, but just wait a couple of seconds and watch what happens.

*****Don't click on any of the items in the picture, just wait and see what

happens. You don't even have to scroll the page. It does it automatically.

This company has a sense of humour and a great computer programmer!

First Day back to work

This is a "Gaff Award". It is mine for a few weeks.

On my first day, after thinking about wearing a pocket protector and then rejecting the idea because it would make me look like a Nerd, I stuck a brand new Artline pen in my top pocket. And it leaked.

A quick shopping expedition to Country Road at lunchtime mitigated the embarrassment to some extent ($99 buys a nice shirt with NO pocket). However, I still deserved the award. Tasteful, don't you think?

p.s. I am working 4 days per week at the QV1 building, West End of Perth - photo taken on iPhone, uploaded via Evernote.

.......a TRUE (internet) STORY!!!

A senior couple we know went to breakfast at a
restaurant where the 'seniors' special' was two eggs, bacon, hash
browns and toast for $1.99.

'Sounds good,' the wife said. 'But I don't want the eggs.'

'Then, I'll have to charge you two dollars and
forty-nine cents because you're ordering a la carte,' the
waitress warned her.

'You mean I'd have to pay for not taking the eggs?' the
wife asked incredulously.

'YES!!' stated the waitress.

'I'll take the special then,' the wife said.

'How do you want your eggs?' the waitress asked.

'Raw and in the shell,' the wife replied.

She took the two eggs home.

DON'T
MESS AROUND WITH SENIORS!!!

They’ve
been around the block more than once!

It has been a strange week

Even with the best facilities in the country, we can't seem to get an election.
