    In a Store in US a man asked for 1/2 lb (pound) of butter. The salesperson, a young boy, said that only 1 lb packs were available in the Store, but the man insisted on buying only 1/2 lb So the boy went inside to the manager's room and said "An idiot outside wants to buy only 1/2 lb of butter". To his surprise, the customer was standing right behind him. So the boy added immediately, "And this gentleman wants to buy the other half". After the customer left, the manager said "You have saved your position by being clever enough at the right time. Where do you come from?" To this the boy said, "I come from Brazil. The place consists of only prostitutes and football players!" The manager replied coldly, "My wife is also from Brazil". To this the boy was stunned for a moment,but regained his posture and asked excitedly, "Oh yeah? Which team does she play for?" Moral: Presence of mind helps, Never Panic, There's always a solution!

    Quite often teachers of email etiquette would advise (business) email writers to imagine their email getting published in the front page of a newspaper, and then write that "private" email.

    UK's ambassador to the USA was recently involved in a politically motivated plot to get him into trouble by leaking one of his private cables to his Prime Minister. In that cable (email) he had divulged his opinion that he considers the American White House Office of the President to be totally inept. And then went on to advise the PM how the UK may design strategies to deal with that situation.

    The UK ambassador had to resign...... albeit revealing a fact that is universally well known.
