During class

During one of my classes one day...

Lecturer: Ok! Can anyone tell me who invented Spa and from which country?
(and he pointed at me for an answer)

Me: Erm...erm.....spa...spa...SPArtans!!!! The SPArtans invented Spa!

We were asked to do a SWOT analysis on a particular organization. If you don't know, SWOT analysis refers to Strength, Weakness, Opportunity and Threat. We were given a piece of paper to jot down our answer.

I was especially tired and uninterested that day.

My answers:
Strength: Very Strong
Weak: Quite weak
Opportunity: Got chance
Threat: A bit threatening

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After so many years I am still that same bag of nonsense. I always thought I am already a changed man. Apparently not.

I am a doctor

One fine day while in my office working(I work in a private school), this student from China suddenly came in and said she was sick.

This conversation is all in Chinese.

She: Doctor, I am not feeling well.
Me: I am not a doctor.

She: Then where is the doctor? I am really not feeling well and need to see one.
Me: There is no doctor here.

She: How come hospital got no doctor?
Me: This is not a hospital. This is a school.

She: But how come outside the signboard says that this place is a hospital?
Me: Which sign? There is definitely no sign that suggests that this place is a hospital.

She: Come, I show you.

With that, I followed her out of my office to the sign which she was referring to. There was indeed a sign.

The sign reads:
SCHOOL D' HOSPITALITY

It was from that day onwards I understood why the China students in my school always seem to be so polite upon seeing me. They must have thought that I am a doctor who practises in this school.

Maybe I should put another notice round the school informing them that SCHOOL D' HOSPITALITY is NOT equal to HOSPITAL OF THE SCHOOL.
