Interlude

Congratulations to Barack Obama on being elected as the 44th President of the United States of America. It took more than 200 years for Americans to effect a seemingly impossible change, but change they did. I hope that we Malaysians need not wait that long.

In the meantime, I leave you with this bit of trivia about Americans that would probably apply to us too...

Sporting Preference of the Workforce

In the United States, research was carried out to determine the sporting preferences of the workforce.

The sport of choice of the general workers and unskilled employees is basketball. The sport of choice of the technicians and supervisors is bowling. The professionals and executives prefer baseball.

The sport of choice of the top managers and CEOs is, of course, golf.

The conclusion of the research is :

The higher you are in the management hierarchy, the smaller your balls.

Yup, congrats to Obama. Praying that he will make a positive transition on the US admins.
You know? HB does not take up golf. He did last time masa bujang. Now no more... what does that mean??? Hahaha!

Agreed, congrats to Obama.

Re the trivia, at least they've got balls. Some don't have any!!!

Re your comment in my blog post, just imagine me as a typical makcik blogger :B whose idea of having a new gate is sparked by the collapse of her rusty old gate.

Have a great weekend.

Salam Hanitha,

Heheheh (gelak dulu!)... I tak kisah bola mana, asalkan ada bola! :-)

Ja,

I think it means your HB doesn't want the top management job. Smart man!

Chahya,

Yup, better to have small balls than not have any! Hahaha...

Err... macam mana agaknya rupa `typical makcik blogger' ni ye?
