			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s a joke I posted by Sunsoron. I just copied it straight. Credits is given to him and his blog.</p>
<p><a href="http://giuk.net/visit/13777/Ah-Pek-vs-The-Pope" target="_blank" class="broken_link">Original Post</a></p>
<p>About a century or two ago, the Pope decided that all the Chinese had to leave Italy . Naturally there was a big uproar from the Chinese community.</p>
<p>So the Pope made a deal. He would have a religious debate with a member of the Chinese community. If the Chinese win, they could stay.</p>
<p>If the Pope wins, the Chinese would leave. The Chinese realized they had no other choice. So they picked a middle-aged man named Ah Pek to represent them.</p>
<p>Ah Pek asked for one condition to be added to the debate. “To make it more interesting” he said “neither side would be allowed to talk”.</p>
<p>The Pope agreed. The day of the great debate came.</p>
<p>Ah Pek and the Pope sat opposite each other for a full minute.</p>
<p>Then the Pope raised his hand and showed three fingers. Ah Pek looked back at him and raised one finger.</p>
<p>The Pope waved his fingers in a circle around his head. Ah Pek pointed to the ground at where he sat.</p>
<p>The Pope pulled out a loaf and a glass of wine. Ah Pek pull out an apple.</p>
<p>The Pope stood up and said “I give up. This man is too good. The Chinese can stay.”</p>
<p>An hour later, the cardinals were all around the Pope asking him what happened?</p>
<p>The Pope said “First I held up three fingers to represent the holy trinity. He responded by holding up one finger to remind me that there was still one God common to both our religions.”</p>
<p>“Then I waved my finger around me to show him that God was all around us. He responded by pointing to the ground and showing that God was also right here with us.”</p>
<p>“I pulled out the wine and loaf to show that God absolves all sin. He showed me an apple to remind us of the original sin. He had an answer for everything. What could I do?”</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the Chinese community had crowded around Ah Pek. “What happened?” they asked.</p>
<p>“Well” said Ah Pek “first he indicated to me that all Chinese had 3 days to get out of here. I replied to him f*@k off and not one of us was leaving.</p>
<p>Then he pointed that this whole city would be cleared of Chinese. I showed him that we are staying right here.”</p>
<p>“Yes, and then???” asked the crowd.</p>
<p>“I don’t know” said Ah Pek “he took out his lunch and I took out mine!!!”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ali was driving his taxi along a dark winding road one night, along a cemetery when he spotted a girl, with long flowing hair flagging his taxi down.</p>
<p>As he approached her, he noticed that she looked pale and her eyes were sorta glowing, and he was mesmerised by her stunning beauty. He stopped his car by her side. She put her hand on his car door and he noticed that her finger nails were long, sharp and painted dark red.</p>
<p>She tells him with a quiet but melodious voice that she was lost and would like him to drive her back out to town, Ali agreed and she got in. She smelt wonderful &#8211; of jasmine and he felt quite heady inhaling her scent.</p>
<p>Whenever he could take his eyes off the road, he&#8217;d steal glances at her through his rear view mirror and couldn&#8217;t help but admire her loveliness.</p>
<p>At the next junction after he made a left turn, he looked into his rear view mirror again. Ali was alarmed when he couldn&#8217;t see her. He jammed on his brakes and immediately felt a chill up his spine and the hair on the back of his neck was standing. But Ali dared not turn his back to look. Timidly, he stole another fleeting peek at the rear view mirror and there she was, blood flowing out of her nose, her eyes look stricken and she was gaping with her mouth wide open at him.</p>
<p>She screamed at him, why did you have to brake so suddenly?</p>
<p>Apparently she had bent over to pick her nose and her fingernail has cause some serious damage there&#8230; hehehe.</p>

<li>If they want to loan you money, tell them you just filed for bankruptcy and you could sure use some money.</li>
<li>If they start out with, &quot;How are you today?&quot; say, &quot;I&#8217;m so glad you asked, because no one these days seems to care, and I have all these problems. My arthritis is acting up, my eyelashes are sore, my dog just died . . . &quot;</li>
<li>If they say they&#8217;re John Doe from XYZ Company, ask them to spell their name. Then ask them to spell the company name. Then ask them where it is located, how long it has been in business, how many people work there, how they got into this line of work if they are married, how many kids they have, etc. Continue asking them personal questions or questions about their company for as long as necessary.</li>
<li>This works great if you are male. Telemarketer: &quot;Hi, my name is Judy and I&#8217;m with XYZ Company. &quot; You: Wait for a second and with a real husky voice ask, &quot;What are you wearing?&quot;</li>
<li>Cry out in surprise, &quot;Judy? Is that you? Oh my God! Judy, how have you been?&quot; Hopefully, this will give Judy a few brief moments of terror as she tries to figure out where she could know you from.</li>
<li>Say &quot;No&quot; over and over. Be sure to vary the sound of each one, and keep a rhythmic tempo, even as they are trying to speak. This is most fun if you can do it until they hang up.</li>
<li>If MCI calls trying to get you to sign up for the Family and Friends Plan, reply, in as sinister a voice as you can, &quot;I don&#8217;t have any friends, would you be my friend?&quot;</li>
<li>If the company cleans rugs, respond: &quot;Can you get out blood? Can you get out goat blood? How about human blood?&quot;</li>
<li>After the Telemarketer gives his or her spiel, ask him or her to marry you. When they get all flustered, tell them that you can&#8217;t just give your credit card number to a complete stranger.</li>
<li>Tell the Telemarketer that you work for the same company, and they can&#8217;t sell to employees.</li>
<li>Answer the phone. As soon as you realize it is a Telemarketer, set the receiver down, scream, &quot;Oh my God!&quot; and then hang up.</li>
<li>Tell the Telemarketer you are busy at the moment and ask him/her if he/she will give you his/her home phone number so you can call him/her back. When the Telemarketer explains that telemarketers cannot give out their home numbers say, &quot;I guess you don&#8217;t want anyone bothering you at home, right?&quot; The Telemarketer will agree and you say, &quot;Me either!&quot; Hang up.</li>
<li>Ask them to repeat everything they say, several times.</li>
<li>Tell them it is dinner time, but ask if they would please hold. Put them on your speaker phone while you continue to eat at your leisure. Smack your food loudly and continue with your dinner conversation.</li>
<li>Tell the Telemarketer you are on &quot;home incarceration&quot; and ask if they could bring you some beer.</li>
<li>Ask them to fax the information to you, and make up a number.</li>
<li>Tell the Telemarketer, &quot;Okay, I&#8217;ll listen to you. But I should probably tell you, I&#8217;m not wearing any clothes.&quot;</li>
<li>Insist that the caller is really your buddy Leon, playing a joke. &quot;Come on, Leon, cut it out! Seriously, Leon, how&#8217;s your momma?&quot;</li>
<li>Tell them you are hard of hearing and that they need to speak up . . . louder . . . louder . . .</li>
<li>Tell them to talk very slowly, because you want to write every word down. </li>
