Highstrung

I'm going to walk out of the exam venue to do my thinking once I finish future exams next time - seriously, realizing loopholes in your solution after handing the paper in is becoming too common an occurrence for me. Hopefully it will cost only a couple of the twenty marks on offer.

With all the stuff due soon, I'm feelin' like a bunny placed in a circular enclosure and told to relac one corner, lah.


How to relac??? (Source: Guess where?)

Econs has been pretty entertaining, though - my Thai TA described to the class how a bank back in his native country nearly collapsed after a dog got hit by a car.

Huh?

Yes, after a dog got hit by a car.

You see, the dead dog happened to get flung onto the pavement just outside the bank's doorsteps. And a crowd gathered around it. Then some police arrived to check out the fuss. Then some responsible citizens began calling up their friends, relatives and countrymen about the mass of people and police outside the bank.

So, when the bank got around to opening its doors for the day, it faced a mob of depositors eager to withdraw at any cost.

Sucked to be them.

And what's with the Specialize in Door-to-Door to Moscow tagline I saw on a presumably local moving company's vans? Didn't know SG-Russian freight could be such a prominent niche.

Sir,

I was not about to dignify that with a response, but public interest dictates that I clarify the mechanics of "poking" and "petting" with respect to bunnies. Please refer to the image below.


The popular procedure pursuant to proper poking involves delicate but firm application of a digit to the subject's tummy, and that for proper petting involves rubbin' of its noggin'. I am certain that you are misunderstood in the context in which the terms are taken. Moreover, I would wish to reiterate here that IFUL should not be interpreted as a literal invitation when signalled by a bunny, even when in one of your rooms of no consequence.

I wish to thank you for your interest in this matter and remain, as always, your most humble and obedient servant, etc etc (insert your choice of insincere closing statements).
