The WiNd0w...
2 men, both seriously ill,occupied d same hospital room. 1 man was allowed 2 sit up in his bed 4 n hour each afternoon 2 help drain d fluid from his lungs. His bed was nx 2 d room's oni window. D other man had 2 spend all his time flat on his back. D man talked 4 hours on end.they spoke of their wives n families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in military service, n where they had been on vacation.
Every afternoon when d man in d bed by d window could sit up, he wud pass d time by describing 2 his roommate all d things he cud c outside d window. D man in d other bed began 2 live 4 those one-hour periods where his world wud b brodened n enlivened by all d activity n colour of d world outside.
D window overlooked a park wit a lovely lake. Ducks n swans played on d water while children sailed their modal boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every colour n a fine view of d city skyline cud b seen in d distance. S d man by d window described all dis in exquisite detail, d man on d other side of d room wud close his eyes n imagine d picturesque scene.
Days n weeks passed.
One morning, d day nurse arrived 2 bring water 4 their baths oni find d lifeless body of d man by d window, who had died peacefully in his sleep. She was saddened n called d hospital attendants 2 take d body away. S soon s it seemed appropriate, d other man asked if he cud b moved nx 2 d window. D nurse was happy 2 make the switch, n after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone.
Slowly, painfully, he propped himself up on 1 elbow 2 take his 1st look at d real world outside. He strained 2 slowly turn 2 look out d window bside his bed. It faced a blank wall. D man asked d nurse wat cud have compelled his deceased roommate 2 have had describe such wonderful things outside dis window. D nurse responded dat d man was blind n cud nt even see d wall. She said, "Perhaps he juz wanted 2 encourage u 2 live..."
So, appreciate ur own precious life.

EngLisH Is A StraNge LaNguagE...
There is no egg in eggplant
No ham in hamburger
And neither pine or apple in pineapple
English muffins were not invented in England
French fries were not invented in France
We sometimes take English for granted
We find that
Quicksand take you down slowly
Boxing rings are square
And Guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor it is a pig
If writers write, how come fingers don't fing
If the plural of tooth is teeth
Shouldn't the plural of phone booth be phone beeth?
If the teacher taught
Why didn't the preacher praught?
If the vegetarians eats vegetable
What on Earth does a humanitarian eat?
Then how about this?
Park on driveways and drive on parkways
How can the weather be as hot as hell on one day
And as cold as hell on another
You have to marvel at the unique lunacy
Of a language where a house can bum up as
It bums down
And in which you fill in a form
By filling it out
And a bell is only heard once it goes
English was convented by peoples, not computers
And it reflects the creativity of human race
( which of course, is not a race at all )
That is why
When the stars are out, they are visible
But when the lights are out, they are invisible
And why is that
When I wind up my watch, it starts
But when wind up this poem,
It ends...

During one interview session, for hiring new clerk, the manager were shocked to see a candidate, wearing knee-torn jeans, hair mixed with orange, red and purple. the manager scratched his head, "OMG!! Diz kind of people oso gt"?? But, wan 2 say no?? Cannot... Not the right thing to do. Whatever it is, have to interview oso. So, the smart manager asked the candidate to make a sentence in English using the words green, pink, yellow, blue, white, purple, and black. After a short while, the candidate answered...
