What's in a name??
Isn't the Blame game terrible and isn't retaliation something really bad? This next story illustrates these points well.
Jet Li walked into a pub in New York with his pal. He says to his pal: "Hey! That's Steven Spielberg over there! Boy, How I wish he'll come over to say "hi".
Spielberg suddenly walked over but without notice he just gave Jet Li a punch on the nose.
Li: "Hey!! What's that for?!"
Spielberg: "You bloody Japanese killed my granddad when you bombed Pearl Harbour!"
Li : "But I'm not Japanese! I'm Chinese!"
Spielberg : "Chinese, Vietnamese, Japanese, who cares? You're all the same!"
Spielberg walks back to the other side. After a while, Jet Li calmly walks over to Spielberg and suddenly gives him a really heavy punch on the face.
Spielberg : "Hey! What's that for..... !?!"
Li : "YOU STUPID IDIOTS SANK THE TITANIC!"
Spielberg : "but how can you say that? It was an iceberg that sank the Titanic!"
Li : "Iceberg, Carlsberg, Spielberg, what's the difference? You're all the same!"

A really great laugh
The Titannic was sinking. There were not enough life-boats. The captain announced that the life-boats will be kept for the women and children. So he shouted to the men to jump into the icy waters to make room for them. He turned to the Englishmen first and said, "You Englishmen are gentlemen" and beckoned. The English jumped without hesitation
He turned to the Americans and said, "You Americans are heroes" and beckoned. The Americans quickly jumped. Then the Captain turned to the Germans and pointedly said, "For you Germans, it is the rule." The Germans obliged and jumped. Then he turned to the Japanese bowed and said, "It is the consensus of all of you" and the Japanese jumped without hesitation.
Then, he turned to the Singaporeans. He persuaded them to jump but they won't move. He tried all kinds of methods but none worked. Finally, he said, there will be free life jackets given for those who will jump. That was when all the Singaporeans jumped because "free gifts" are a way of life for them.
HOW DIFFERENT PEOPLE RESPOND TO SITUATIONS IS VERY INTERESTING, ISN'T IT?
