Why the COLOUR OF YOUR CAR tells us who you
are!
These are the results of a survey undertaken by Smartnav division, Trafficmaster
and published on July 15 2002
Black
Most volatile on the road - the ones most prone to fits of road rage.
47% of them are likely to shout and swear at other motorists. 50% admitted
doing absolutely nothing to avoid traffic.
Tom Cruise, Victoria Beckham, Simon Cowell (black Ferrari)
Blue or yellow
Cause more havoc on the roads. Most likely to fall out with his/her partner
over map reading.
Mike Tyson (yellow Lamborghini)
Silver
Best navigators and the most relaxed. Only 29% of them are likely to
shout and swear at other motorists.
David Beckham
Red
Traditionally considered to be the speediest on the road but hardly rate
a mention in the survey.
Rowan Atkinson, Rod Stewart
Blue
Most inclined to blame their children for taking a wrong turning
Hillary Clinton
Green
Most likely to shout at fellow passengers and resort to aggressive driving
when stressed. Also the most prone to miss a flight because they are
stuck in traffic.
White
Only preferred by 8%. These people say they sometimes wished they'd stayed
at home!
So, which one are you?
Wearing RED PANTS
will help you get the job of your dreams
Here's a feng-shiu tip for success:
Wearing red knickers, boxers or Y-fronts
when you go for an interview or to see your bank manager - will greatly
improve your chances of success. "People swear by it" so it
must be worth a try!

Colours of the Union Jack
| The national flag of the United Kingdom consists
of three heraldic crosses: |
 |
| The cross of St George, patron saint of England since
the 1270s, is a red cross on a white
background. It was the national flag of England until James I
succeeded to the throne in 1603, after which it was combined in 1606
with the crosses of St. Andrew and St. Patrick. |
 |
| The cross saltire of St Andrew, patron saint
of Scotland, is a diagonal white cross on a blue background. |
 |
| The cross saltire of St Patrick, patron saint
of Ireland, is a diagonal red cross
on a white background. This was combined with the previous
Union Flag of St George and St Andrew, after the Act of Union of
Ireland with England (and Wales) and Scotland on 1 January 1801,
to create the Union Flag that has been flown ever since. |
 |
The Welsh dragon does not appear on the Union Flag. This is because
when the first Union Flag was created in 1606, the Principality of Wales
by that time was already united with England and was no longer a separate
principality.
Colours of the U.S. flag
 In
the U.S. flag, white stands for purity and innocence. Red represents
valour and hardiness, while blue signifies
justice, perseverance, and vigilance. The stars represent the heavens
and all the good that people strive for, while the stripes emulate the
sun's rays.
Warning
Jenny Joseph (1932-)
When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple
With a red hat which doesn't go,
and doesn't suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired
And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
And run my stick along the public railings
And make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
And pick the flowers in other peoples' gardens
And learn to spit.
You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat
And eat three pounds of sausages at a go
Or only bread and pickle for a week
And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in boxes.
But now we must have clothes that keep us dry
And pay our rent and not swear in the street
And set a good example for the children.
We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.
But maybe I ought to practise a little now?
So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised
When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.
I Will Wear Purple
Joyce E Vranich ©1996
When I grow old I'm going to wear purple,
Smoke a cigar, spit at the cat.
I might decide to dance on the table,
Tell off-color jokes, what do you think about that?
When I grow old I'm going to wear purple.
Ride a big hog, get a tattoo.
How about if I pierce my navel,
Or some other part I couldn't tell you.
When I grow old I'm going to wear purple.
Streak through the church on a Sunday at noon.
Then as they leave I'll stand in my glory,
Thank them for coming, come back again soon.
When I grow old I'm going to wear purple.
Do all the things they said not to do.
For then it won't matter, they'll think I'm unstable.
I'll give them the finger and say, "to Hell with you".
Don't wait to grow old, why not wear purple?
Have you ever wondered...
- Why the sun lightens our hair, but darkens our skin?
- Why women can't put on mascara with their mouth closed?
- Why you don't ever see the headline: "Psychic Wins Lottery"?
- Why 'abbreviated' is such a long word?
- Why doctors call what they do 'practice'?
- Why you have to click on 'Start'
to stop Windows 98?
- Why lemon juice is made with artificial flavour, while dishwashing
liquid is made with real lemons?
- Why the man who invests all your money is called a 'broker'?
- Why there isn't mouse-flavoured cat food?
- Who tastes dog food when it has a 'new & improved' flavour?
- Why Noah didn't swat those two mosquitoes?
- Why they sterilize the needle for lethal injections?
- Why they don't make the whole plane out of the material used for
the indestructible black box?
- Why sheep don't shrink when it rains?
- Why they are called apartments when they are all stuck together?
- If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress?
- Why they call the airport 'the terminal' if flying is so safe?
Is the human race doomed due to stupidity?
In case you need further proof that the human race is doomed because
of stupidity, here are some actual label instructions on consumer goods:
On a Myer hairdryer:
Do not use while sleeping.
(Darn, and that's the only time I have to work on my hair).
On a bag of chips:
You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details
inside.
(The shoplifter special?)
On a bar of Palmolive soap:
Directions: Use like regular soap.
(And that would be how???)
On some frozen dinners:
Serving suggestion: Defrost.
(But, it's only a suggestion).
On Nana's Tiramisu dessert
(printed on bottom):
Do not turn upside down.
(Well...duh, a bit late, huh)!
On Marks & Spencer bread pudding:
Product will be hot after heating.
(And you thought ????...)
On packaging for a K-Mart iron:
Do not iron clothes on body.
(But wouldn't this save me more time?)
On Boot's children's cough medicine:
Do not drive a car or operate machinery after taking this medication.
(We could do a lot to reduce the rate of construction accidents if we
could just get those 5-year olds with head colds off those forklift
trucks...)
On Nytol Sleep Aid:
Warning: May cause drowsiness.
(And...I'm taking this because???)
On most brands of Christmas lights:
For indoor or outdoor use only.
(As opposed to...what?)
On a Japanese food processor:
Not to be used for the other use.
(Now, somebody out there, help me on this. I'm a bit curious.)
On Nobby's peanuts:
Warning: contains nuts.
(Talk about a news flash!)
On an American Airlines packet of nuts:
Instructions: Open packet, eat
nuts.
(Step 3: maybe, uh...fly Delta?)
I don't blame the company, I blame the parents for this one:
On a child's Superman costume:
Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly.
On a Swedish chainsaw: Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands
or genitals.
(Was there a lot of this happening somewhere?)
- Now that you've smiled at least once, it's your turn to spread the stupidity
and send this to someone you want to bring a smile to (maybe even a chuckle)...in
other words send it to everyone. We all need to smile every once in a
while.
