Rubber Gloves

>> Next time you use a pair of rubber gloves you can remember this.
>>
>> A dentist noticed that his next patient, a little old lady, was nervous
>> so he decided to tell her a little joke as he put on his gloves.
>>
>> "Do you know how they make these gloves?" he asked.
>>
>> "No, I don't," she replied.
>>
>> "Well," he spoofed, "there's a building in Mexico with a big tank of
>> latex and workers of all hand sizes walk up to the tank, dip in their
>> hands, let them dry, then peel off the gloves and throw them into boxes
>> of the right size."
>>
>> She didn't crack a smile.
>>
>> "Oh, well. I tried," he thought.
>>
>> But five minutes later, during a delicate portion of the procedure, she
>> burst out laughing.
>>
>> "What's so funny?" he asked.
>>
>> "I was just envisioning how condoms are made!"
>>
>> Gotta watch those little old ladies! Their minds are always working!

Duck, Pig

A husband walks into the room where his wife is and he is holding a duck under his arm.

He says, “This is the pig I’ve been fucking.”

The wife says, “That’s not a pig, that’s a duck”

The husband says, “I wasn’t talking to you.”

POSSIBLY THE VERY BEST CHICKEN JOKE EVER

A chicken and an egg are lying in bed. The chicken is leaning against

the headboard smoking a cigarette, with a satisfied smile on its face.

The egg, looking a bit pissed off, grabs the sheet, rolls over, and

says, "Well, I guess we finally answered THAT question."

How Cockroaches Work

by Tracy V. Wilson

Entomologists estimate that there are between 5 and 10 million species of insects on Earth. But if asked which insect they hate the most, many people would have no trouble choosing just one – the cockroach.

There are plenty of reasons to dislike cockroaches. Their flattened bodies, leathery wings, skittering legs and long, waving antennae give some people the creeps. Because roaches eat garbage and waste, they can spread bacteria like Salmonella and Shigella from place to place. As they walk, they leave trails of fecal matter which they use to find their way around. On top of being gross, these trails can cause stains and odors. The proteins in cockroach saliva and waste can also cause allergies and aggravate asthma.

Who wants to hire this guy ?

We have been doing hiring at Wirkle from some time and once you start landing into a services business, hiring is a constant phenomneon. But one good thing with services business (if you are developing products with other startups) is that you have smart sharp teams working in a charged environment and you work hard and have a constant challenge.

Today we got a funny email from a funny guy:

Forwarded email (credentials of the person are kept confidential) :
I would like to explore opportunities to establish
employment relationship with wirkle.
My brief introduction-
Name: XXX
Education: B.Tech.(IT) from a good institute (but not an IIT)
Current Employer: some big software consultancy firm
Job Philosophy: Optimize ratio of input and output
1.Work ex- More than 1.5 Years
2.Current CTC - 4lacs (expected to be 6.5+1 after
promotion in April or June)
3.Expected CTC - 10 to 12 (According to job profile
offered and company profile, Flexible and Negotiable)
4.Earliest joining date - (Max 3 Months from
offer,Flexible towards lower end)
So this email is Funny because, I don't know what this guy expects but I guess guys like these are interested more in money than in work. Startups need sincere dedicated guys and I have seen guys technically more sound who just love their work. Normally in startups I would like to have guys who have put in lot of self-initiative, contributed to open source projects and are community people rather than just being money driven. My advice to guys like this is - join some other area like real estate - you might make much more money in that than being a software engineer!!!

So if someone has a requirement and wants to hire this guy, let me know!!

Proto - the Indian DEMO



Proto.in - india's first technology roadshow is being held at Chennai on 20th and 21st January 2007. I have always been fascinated by companies presenting at DEMO . I have seen their online videos and it's great to see the technology initiatives in US. Kudos to the Proto organizers who must have put in lot of efforts in organizing such an event in India. Though I guess it will be hard for Proto to match Demo but nevertheless it's a great start. Events like this will boost up the product technology culture in India.
