Advice from a Lawyer
A doctor and a lawyer were talking at a party. Their conversation was
constantly interrupted by people describing their ailments and asking
the doctor for free medical advice. After an hour of this, the
exasperated doctor asked the lawyer, "What do you do to stop people
from asking you for legal advice when you're out of the office?"
"I give it to them," replied the lawyer, "and then I send them a
bill."
The doctor was shocked, but agreed to give it a try. The next day,
still feeling slightly guilty, the doctor prepared the bills.
When he went to place them in his mailbox, he found a bill from the
lawyer.

Names of Companies
There are many companies / brands / products whose names were derived from strange circumstances.
Here are some :
Mercedes
This was actually the financier's daughter's name.
Adobe
This came from the name of the river Adobe Creek that ran behind the house of founder John Warnock.
Apple Computers
It was the favorite fruit of founder Steve Jobs. He was three months late in filing a name for the business and he threatened to call his company Apple Computers if the other colleagues didn't suggest a better name by 5 O'clock.
CISCO
It is not an acronym as popularly believed. It is short for San Francisco.
Compaq
This name was formed by using COMp, for computer, and PAQ to denote a small integral object.
Corel
The name was derived from the founder's name Dr. Michael Cowpland. It stands for COwpland REsearch Laboratory.
Google
The name started as a joke boasting about the amount of information the search-engine would be able to search. It was originally named 'Googol', a word for the number represented by 1 followed by 100 zeros. After founders - Stanford graduate students Sergey Brin and Larry Page presented their project to an angel investor, they received a cheque made out to 'Google'
Hotmail
Founder Jack Smith got the idea of accessing e-mail via the web from a computer anywhere in the world. When Sabeer Bhatia came up with the business plan forthe mail service, he tried all kinds of names ending in 'mail' and finally settled for hotmail as it included the letters "html" - the programming
language used to write web pages. It was initially referred to as HoTMaiL with selective uppercasing.
Hewlett Packard
Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard tossed a coin to decide whether the company they founded would be called Hewlett-Packard or Packard-Hewlett.
Intel
Bob Noyce and Gordon Moore wanted to name their new company 'Moore Noyce' but that was already trademarked by a hotel chain . So they had to settle for an acronym of INTegrated ELectronics.
Lotus (Notes)
Mitch Kapor got the name for his company from 'The Lotus Position' or 'Padmasana'. Kapor used to be a teacher of Transcendental Meditation of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.
Microsoft
Coined by Bill Gates to represent the company that was devoted to MICROcomputer SOFTware. Originally christened Micro-Soft, the '-' was removed later on.
Motorola
Founder Paul Galvin came up with this name when his company started manufacturing radios for cars. The popular radio company at the time was called Victrola.
ORACLE
Larry Ellison and Bob Oats were working on a consulting project for the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency). The code name for the project was called Oracle (the CIA saw this as the system to give answers to all questions or some such thing). The project was designed to help use the newly written SQL code by IBM. The project eventually was terminated but Larry and Bob decided to finish what they started and bring it to the world. They kept the name Oracle and created the RDBMS engine. Later they kept the same name for the company.
Sony
It originated from the Latin word 'sonus' meaning sound, and 'sonny' a slang used by Americans to refer to a bright youngster.
SUN
Founded by 4 Stanford University buddies, SUN is the acronym for Snford University Network. Andreas Bechtolsheim built a microcomputer; Vinod Khosla
recruited him and Scott McNealy to manufacture computers based on it, and Bill Joy to develop a UNIX-based OS for the computer.
Yahoo!
The word was invented by Jonathan Swift and used in his book 'Gulliver's Travels'. It represents a person who is repulsive in appearance and action and is barely human. Yahoo! founders Jerry Yang and David Filo selected the name because they considered themselves yahoos.

Two Coats
A blonde decides to show her husband that despite what everyone says, blondes really are smart. So she decides that she is going to paint
the living room in their house while her husband is at work.
So the next day as soon as he leaves, she gets down to the task at hand. Her husband arrives home after work and smells the distinctive smell of paint. He walks into the living room and finds his wife lying on the floor in a pool of sweat. He notices that she is wearing a parka and a mink. He asks her what she is doing. She replies that she
wanted to prove to him that not all blonde women are dumb and she
wanted to do it by painting the room.
He says that he was impressed at the good job she had done, but
what's with her wearing the two coats?
She replies that she was reading the directions on the paint can and

FAMILY
A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his
5-year-old son waiting for him at the door...
Son: "Daddy, may I ask you a question"
Daddy: "Yeah sure, what it is?"
Son: "Dad, how much do you make an hour"
Daddy: "That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?" that man said
angrily
Son: "I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an
hour?"
Daddy: "I make Rs. 500 an hour"
"Oh", the little boy replied, with his head down. Looking up, he said,
"Dad, may I please borrow Rs. 300?"
The father was furious, "if the only reason you asked that is so
you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or other nonsense,
then march yourself to your room and go to bed. Think why you are
being so selfish. I work hard everyday for such this childish behavior"
The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The man
sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's
questions.
How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?
After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to
think:"May be there was something he really needed to buy with that
Rs. 300 and he really didn't ask for money very often!"
The man went to the door of little boy's room and opened the door.
"Are you asleep, son?" He asked.
"No daddy, I'm awake," replied the boy.
"I've been thinking, may be I was too hard on you earlier", said
the man, "It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on
you. Here's the Rs.300 you asked for" The little boy sat straight
up, smiling "oh thank you dad!" He yelled.
Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled some crippled up
notes.The man, seeing that the boy already had money, started to
get angry again.
The little boy slowly counted out his money, then looked up at his
father.
"Why do you want money if you already had some?" the father grumbled.
"Because I didn't have enough, but now I do," the little boy
replied."Daddy I have Rs. 500 now. Can I buy an hour of your time?
Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with
you"
MORAL
It's just a short reminder to all of you working so hard in life.
We should not let time slip through our fingers without having
spent some time with those who really matter to us, those close to
our hearts.
If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could
easily replace us in a matter of days. But the fami! ly & friends we
leave behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And
come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into work than to our
family. An unwise investment indeed!

Night Bulb Inventor - Thomas A Edison
THOMAS A. EDISON (NIGHT BULB)
Born in 1847 - Died in 1931
Thomas Alva Edison was called Alva, or Al by his family. He was a very
curious child. He was always asking questions. Even his mother, who had once
been a schoolteacher could not answer all his questions. He would experiment
to try to find the answers. Once he tried to hatch some eggs by sitting on
them. Another time he accidently burned down the family's barn.
The teacher told someone that she thought there was something wrong with
Alva; that he was "addled" * . He told his mother and they took him out of
the school. He only went to school for 3 months in his whole life. After
that, he was taught at home.
He wanted to experiment. To make money for his experiments, he went to work
at age 12 selling newspapers and candy on a train. When he had some spare
time on the train, he would do experiments in the baggage car.
When he was 16 he went to work for the telegraph * office sending messages.
He became nearly deaf due to an injury to his ears. He later said he didn't
mind being deaf because it helped him to concentrate.
When he was 22 years old he went to New York. He only had $1 in his pocket.
He hunted for a job during the day, and at night he slept in the basement of
a gold company. He watched everything around him very closely. Some
equipment broke down and Edison was able to fix it because he had been
watching it work before he went to sleep each night. The owners gave him a
job. He improved the machine so much that the company paid him $40,000 for
his invention. He started the American Telegraph Works in New Jersey.
He built a laboratory in Menlo Park, New Jersey. It was here with his
employees that he made many of his inventions. He would work night after
night, and sometimes he would fall asleep at his workbench. His wife
wouldn't see him for days at a time.
He and his team worked to make a light bulb that would burn for a long time
without burning out. They tried 1,500 materials and nothing worked well.
Finally he tried a new material in
the filament * that burned nearly 200 hours.
After he had made the light bulb, he worked to make a power system so that
people could use the bulb. In 1882 he flipped a switch and 85 houses in New
York City had electric lights for the first time.
Thomas Edison was probably the world's greatest inventor. He had a patent on
1,093 inventions. In addition to the electric light, he also invented the
phonograph * , a camera to take motion pictures, a cement mixer, the
automatic * telegraph, and he improved Alexander Graham Bell's telephone.

Farmer vs Lawyer
A Yankee lawyer went duck hunting in eastern North Carolina. He shot and dropped a bird, but it fell into a farmer's field on the other side of a fence. As the lawyer climbed over the fence, an elderly gentleman asked him what he was doing. The lawyer responded, "I shot a duck and it fell in this field, I'm going into retrieve it."
The old farmer replied. "This is my property, and you are not coming over here."
The indignant lawyer said, "I am one of the best trial attorneys in the U.S. and, if you don't let me get
that duck, I'll sue you and take everything!
The old farmer smiled and said, "Apparently, you don't know how we do things here in North Carolina.
We settle small disagreements like this with the NC Three-Kick Rule."
The lawyer asked, "What is the NC three-Kick Rule?"
The Farmer replied. "Well, first I kick you three times and then you kick me three times, and so on,
back and forth, until someone gives up."
The Yankee attorney quickly thought about the proposed contest and decided that he could easily
take the old southerner. He agreed to abide by the local custom.
The old farmer slowly climbed down from the tractor and walked up to the city feller. His first kick
planted the toe of his heavy work boot into the Yankee lawyer's groin and dropped him to his knees.
His second kick nearly wiped the man's nose off his face. The barrister was flat on
his belly when the farmer's third kick to a kidney nearly caused him to give up.
The Yankee lawyer summoned every bit of his will and managed to get to his feet and said,
"Okay, you old redneck southerner, now it's my turn."
The old North Carolina farmer smiled and said, "Naw, I give up. You can have the duck."
The old farmer replied. "This is my property, and you are not coming over here."
The indignant lawyer said, "I am one of the best trial attorneys in the U.S. and, if you don't let me get

Womens Dictionary
Fine
This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.
Five Minutes
If she is getting dressed, this is half an hour.
Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given 5 more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.
Nothing
This is the calm before the storm. This means "something" and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with "nothing" usually end in "fine".
Go Ahead
This is a dare, not permission, DON'T DO IT!
Loud Sigh
Although not actually a word, the loud sigh is often misunderstood by men. A "Loud Sigh" means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you over "Nothing".
That's Okay
This is one of the most dangerous statements that woman can make to a man. "That's Okay" means that she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.
Thanks
This is the least used of all words in the female vocabulary. If a woman is thanking you. Do not question it, just say you're welcome and back out of the room slowly.

Nothing
This is the calm before the storm. This means "something" and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with "nothing" usually end in "fine".
Go Ahead
This is a dare, not permission, DON'T DO IT!
Loud Sigh
Although not actually a word, the loud sigh is often misunderstood by men. A "Loud Sigh" means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you over "Nothing".
That's Okay
This is one of the most dangerous statements that woman can make to a man. "That's Okay" means that she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.
Thanks
This is the least used of all words in the female vocabulary. If a woman is thanking you. Do not question it, just say you're welcome and back out of the room slowly.

Scooter Stand
A guy rides up in a scooter to a theatre and asks another person "Where is the scooter stand?"
The other person replies "Tell me, what is your name?"
"Rajesh", he answered somewhat puzzled.
"What do your parents do?"
"Why? My mother's a doctor and my father's an engineer"
"Are you endowed with property and things like that?"
"Yes", he said more puzzled now, "We in fact have quite a bit of property back in our village"
"What is your qualification?"
"I've done M. Com"
"Look, Mister. You have a good background, both your parents have high qualifications and in fact, you yourself have done M. Com and yet you don't know the simple fact that a scooter stand is fixed to the bottom of the scooter."

Think Out of the Box
Imagine this...
You are driving along in your car on a wild, stormy night, it's raining heavily, when suddenly you pass by a bus stop, and you see three people waiting for a bus:
1. An old lady who looks as if she is about to die.
2. An old friend who once saved your life.
3. The perfect partner you have been dreaming about.
Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing very well that
there could only be one passenger in your car?
Think before you continue reading...
.........
.........
......
This is a moral/ethical dilemma that was once actually used as part of a job application.
* You could pick up the old lady, because she is going to die, and thus you should save her first;
* or you could take the old friend because he once saved your life, and this would be the perfect hence to pay him back.
* However, you may never be able to find your perfect mate again.
The candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants) had no trouble
coming up with his answer.
......
......
.....
He simply answered: "I would give the car keys to my Old friend and let him take the lady to the hospital. I would stay behind and wait for the bus with the partner of my dreams."
Sometimes, we gain more if we are able to give up our stubborn thought limitations. Never forget to "Think Outside of the Box."
