This is a great one

A young guy from North Dakota moves to Florida and goes to a big "everything under one roof" department store looking for a job.

The Manager says, "Do you have any sales experience?"

The kid says "Yeah. I was a vacuum salesman back in North Dakota."

Well, "Yeah. I was a vacuum salesman back in North Dakota."

Well, the boss was unsure, but he liked the kid and figured  he'd give him a shot, so he gave him the job. "You start tomorrow. I'll come down after we close and see how you did."

His first day on the job was rough, but he got through it. After the store was locked up, the boss came down to the sales floor. "How many customers bought something from you today?"

The kid frowns and looks at the floor and mutters, "One."

The boss says "Just one?!!? Our sales people average about 20 to 30 customers a day. That will have to change, and soon, if you'd like to continue your employment here. We have very strict standards for our sales force here in Florida. One sale a day might have been acceptable in North Dakota, but you're not on the farm anymore, son."

The kid took his beating, but continued to look at his shoes, so the boss felt kind of bad for chewing him out on his first day. He asked (semi-sarcastically), "So, how much was you one sale for?"

The kid looks up at his boss and says "$101,237.65."

The boss, astonished, says $101.237.65!? What the heck did you sell?"

The kid says, "Well, First, I sold him some new fish hooks. Then I sold him a new fishing rod to go with his new hooks. Then I asked him where he was going fishing and he said down the coast, so I told him he was going to need a boat, so we went down the boat department and I sold him a twin engine Chris Craft. Then he said he didn't think his Honda Civic would pull it, so I took him down to the automotive department and sold him that 4x4 Expidition."

The boss said, "A guy came in here to buy a fish hook and you sold him a boat and a truck!?"

The kid said, "No, the guy came in here to buy tampons for his wife, and I said "Dude, your weekend's shot, you should go fishing."

Mr. Hi - Tech

A guy walks in a bar and sits down. He starts dialing numbers...like a telephone...on his hand, then talking into his hand. The bartender walks over and tells him this is a very tough neighborhood and he doesn't need any trouble here.

The guy says, "You don't understand. I'm very Hi-Tech. I had a phone installed in my hand because I was tired of carrying the cellular."

The bartender says, "Yeah? Prove it."

The guy dials up a number and hands his hand to the bartender. The bartender talks into the hand and carries on a conversation.

"That's incredible", says the bartender, "I would never have believed it!"

"Yeah ," said the guy,"I can keep in touch with my broker, my wife. you name it. By the way, where is the men's room? The bartender directs him to the men's room. 

The guy goes in and 5, 10, 20, minutes go by and he doesn't return. Fearing the worst given neighborhood, the bartender goes into the men's room. There is the guy spread-eagled against the wall. His pants are pulled down and he has a roll of toilet paper up his ****.

"Oh my god!" said the bartender. "Did they rob you? Are you hurt?"

The guy turns to him and says, "No, I'm fine...I'm just waiting for a fax."

He tried doing something nice for his wife's birthday

A man was sitting on the edge if the bed, watching his wife, who was looking at herself in the mirror. Since her birthday was not far off he asked what she'd like to have for her birthday.

"I'd like to be eight again" she replied, still looking in the mirror.

On the morning of her birthday, he arose early, made her a nice big bowl of Coco Pops, and then took her to Adventure World theme park. What a day! He put her on every ride in the park; the Death Slide, the Wall of Fear, the Screaming Roller Coaster, everything there was.

Five hours later they staggered out of the theme park. Her head was reeling and her stomach felt upside down. He then was took her to McDonald's where he ordered her a Happy Meal with extra fries and a chocolate shake.

Then it was off to a movie, popcorn, a soda pop, and her favorite candy M&M's. What a fabulous adventure!

Finally she wobbled home with her husband and collapsed into bed exhausted.

He leaned over his wife with a big smile and lovingly asked, "Well Dear, what was it like being eight again?

Her eyes slowly opened and her expression suddenly changed.

"I meant my dress size, you idiot!!!"

The moral of this story: Even when a man is listening , he is gonna get it wrong.

Waiting For The Right Time

As EUR/GBP continues declining it is difficult to decide weather I should buy or sell a position.

Usually I will do both, but this time the movement is unpredictable. If there are any Forex traders that have any opinions on how the pair will move, please do let me know. It has been stuck below 0.69700 for a while now, and I have to make a decision by the end of the day. Hope there is feedback for this matter. Have a great day.

Be Humble

John worked at a meat distribution factory. One day, when he finished with his work schedule, he went into the meat cold room (Freezer) to inspect something but in a moment of bad luck, the door closed and he was locked inside with no help in sight. Although he screamed and knocked with all his might, his cries went unheard as no one could hear him. Most of the workers had already gone and outside the cold room (Freezer), it's impossible to hear what was going on inside. Five hours later, whilst John was on the verge of death, the security guard of the factory eventually opened the door and saved him. John then asked the security guard what he came to do there as it wasn't part of his work routine. He replies: "I've been working in this factory for 35 years. Hundreds of workers come in and out everyday but you're one of the few who greets me in the morning and says goodbye to me every night when leaving after work hours. Many treat me as if I am invisible. So today like every other day, you greeted me in your simple manner "Hello" at the entrance when resuming for work, but curiously after working hours today, I observed I've not heard your "Good bye see you tomorrow." Hence I decided to check around the factory. I look forward to your greetings every day because to you, I am someone, by not hearing your farewell, I knew something had happened. Then I sought and found you!

Moral lesson: Be humble, love and respect those around you because life is too short. Try to have an impact on people in ways we can't imagine especially the people that cross our path daily. Stay blessed!

*A Great Day*

Following up from yesterday.

As USD/JPY was stuck and wouldn't cross 123.600, it has finally risen above 123.900.

For me this is great news because I had bought the position and my profits are coming back.

For now I am planning to put a pause on it, as I am not really sure how the movement will be over night. Well just wanted to mention that the results became positive and I think I assume my vacation will be in August. Until then I will be posting more stories and of course funny ones as well. I would also like to ask for any opinions for a great place to have a summer vacation, looking for white sand beaches and not to pricey. Have a great day.

Only one move

A 10 year old boy decided to study Judo despite the fact that he had lost his left arm in a devastating car accident.

The boy began lessons with an old Japanese Judo Master. The boy was doing well, so he couldn't understand why, after three months of training the master had taught him only one move.

"Sensei" (Teacher in Japanese) the boy finally said, "Shouldn't I be learning more moves?"
"this is the only move you know but this is the only move you'll ever need to know," the Sensei replied.

Not quite understanding, but believing in his teacher, the boy kept training. Several months later, the sensei took the boy to his first tournament.

Surprising himself, the boy easily won his first two matches. The third match proved to be more difficult, but after some time, his opponent became impatient and charged; the boy deftly used his one move to win the match. Still amazed by his success, the boy was now in the finals.

This time, his opponent was bigger, stronger, and more experienced. For a while, the boy appeared to be over matched. Concerned that the boy might get hurt, the referee called time-out.

He was about to stop the match when the sensei intervened. "No," the sensei insisted, "Let him continue." Soon after the match resumed, his opponent made a critical mistake: he dropped his guard. Instantly, the boy used his move to pin him. The boy had won the match and the tournament.

He was the champion. On the way home, the boy and sensei reviewed every move in each and every match. Then the boy summoned the courage to ask what was really on his mind.

"Ｓensei, how did I win the tournament with only one move?"

"You won for two reasons," the sensei answered. "First, you've almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in all of judo. And second, the only known defense for that move is for your opponent to grab your left arm."

The boy's biggest weakness had become his biggest strength.

Sometimes we feel that we have certain weaknesses and we blame others, the circumstances or ourselves for it but we never know that our weaknesses can become strengths one day.

Each of us is special and important, so never think you have any weakness, never think of pride or pain, just live your life to it's fullest and extract the best out of it"
