At least someone thought about the men !!!
Thought 1
When we are born, our mothers get the compliments and the flowers.
When we are married, our brides get the presents and the publicity.
When we die, our widows get the life insurance.
What do women want to be liberated from?

Thought 2
The average man's life consists of :
Twenty years of having his mother ask him where he is going,
Forty years of having his wife ask the same question;
and at the end, the mourners wondering too.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thought 3
A Man was walking down a street when he heard a voice from behind, "If
you take one more step, a brick will fall down on your head and kill you." The man stopped and a big brick fell right in front of him. The man was astonished.
He went on, and after a while he was going to cross the road. Once again
the voice shouted, "Stop! Stand still! If you take one more step a car will run over you, and you will die." The man did as he was instructed, just as a car came careening around the corner, barely missing him.
The man asked. "Who are you?"
"I am your guardian angel," the voice answered.
"Oh, yeah?" the man asked "And where the hell were you when I got
married?"

This is the best!!!

Everyone in the wedding ceremony was watching the radiant bride as her
father escorted her down the aisle to give away to the groom.
They reached the altar and the waiting groom; the bride kissed her
father and placed some thing in his hand. Everyone in the room was wondering what was given to the father by the bride.
The father could feel the suspense in the air and all eyes were on him to divulge the secret and say something. So he announced "Ladies and Gentlemen today is the luckiest day of my life." Then he raised his hands with what his daughter gave him and continued, "My daughter finally, finally returned my credit card to me."
The whole audience including priest started laughing.......... but not
the poor groom!

goog night corne hit the sack and best of luck....lynnie so are u working here now in doha? say u from new york ?am going there this eid for a conference? need to know if brooklyn is close to newark airport?
yes, but not right away. I am 20,000 USD (like 80,000 Riyal) in debt from schooling and I need to get some of that paid first.
Ur right lynnie, I should go. And Cool, don't worry I'm not staying here for internship or clerkship or anything. I'm out of here as soon as I'm done with med school. Phew! And yeah I'm into digital. Ok I'm off for real now, see ya guys xxx
lynnie thats a great way to feel.....do u plan to make it into reality?
LOVE LOVE LOVE photography. Try to take tons of pics every weekend. I use digital. Much more immediate than film. Although I do enjoy developing film and making prints. I took a class on it and fell in love.
lynnie wants to talk to me alone... so she s sending u off to bed ....lol
kiss photography goodbye should u choose a surgical speciality.....but if u chose say general medicine or ent or radiology......life could still be great.....i did most of my photography in pre digital era...with manual cameras ....are u into digital...?ps the scrubs in HMC are blue not green but i suppose u could look hot in either....just kidding ...lol....lynnie where are u
thanks corne...but I thought you were off to finish that paper. You better get going girl or you are gonna be dead in the morning.
Very noble cause. Wish u the very best.
I think in the end all of us want to help eachother but do it differently, whether it be a doctor, a social worker, a lawyer, an engineer or a jouralist.
keep children from harm. Meaning pedophiles or abusive parents or bad living situations. Social work I guess would be what I want. It oreally upsets me to see youth in danger and it breaks my heart that not all children are in loving safe homes.
I still try to keep doing the things I like outside school, though it keeps getting harder. By the way, I love photography. Anyways, so u wonder if it's worth? Personally, I know it's only going to get tougher but remembering how good it'll feel to cure people is what keeps me going (well that and thinking of how hot I would look in those green scrubs lol). I hope u don't doubt whether it's worth it or not...ofcourse it is!
so what did u really want to do....? from deep within ur heart...tell us
I think that no matter what profession you choose a part of your adventerous side will fade. It just comes with age and responsibility. So don't feel too bad cqman.
True. It's just that I realized it wasn't the right thing for me. It's something I could live with but wouldn't be happy with. Just to bad I didn't figure that out before I wasted all that time and money. Egh, what can ya do?
corne have u wondered why this question ever gets asked only in med school....IT geeks dont hear it...engineering students dont....and neither did journalism students....right lynnie ?.....sure everyone wants to know why a gal would willingly screw up ten years of their life ?b4 i joined in med school i was a guy who went trekking mountain climbing, did photography , was interested i wildlife.....that boy died 15 years back .....out came a respected surgeon(not trumpeting here ok).....but sometimes i wonder if it was worth it...
Oh and see what I mean about going off topic. The thread was about men,then to women power, going to clubbing, through medicine and ending up at journalism! LOL
Ok I'm off to finishing my paper. Have a goodnight :-)
Journalism can be pretty cool. U can travel the world, make documentaries, go to all those crazy places, discover so many new things. Very interesting.
.
Well I have finished my English and Journalism Degree (please no comments on me having to be perfect at grammar and what not b/c I really don't try on here) When I get back home I am hoping to get my teacher degree.
Now u have to tell me the secret!
lynnie u know what we do so tell us what are u studying..
i ll tell u a little secret ...or guess not....wouldnt want to spoil ur nite.....
Surgeon? Awesome. I'm thinking of surgery but we'll see how things go. Why med ? LOL this reminds me of EVERY single interview or meeting I had with a professor...why med? why med? why med? I think I'm gana have it tape recorded and just played back lol. So I chose med cause it's really interesting, I can't see myself as anything but a doctor and I wana help people.

cornellian i bet thats a medical paper ur working on.....have burnt my midnight oil for those things too.......good luck
whatever gets your brain juices flowin. What worked for me was when I had about an hour before it was due and I was in a panic. Ha.
A wealthy man was having an affair with an Italian woman for several years.
One night, during one of their rendezvous,
she confided in him that she was pregnant. Not wanting to ruin his
reputation or his marriage, he would pay her a large
sum of money if she would go to Italy to secretly have the child. If she
stayed in Italy to raise the child, he would also
provide child support until the child turned 18. She agreed, but asked how
he would know when the baby was born.
To keep it discrete, he told her to simply mail him a post card, and write
Spaghetti" on the back. He would then arrange
for child support payments to begin.
One day, about 9 months later, he came home to his confused wife. His wife
said, "Honey, you received a very strange
post card today." "Oh, just give it to me and I'll explain it," he said.
The wife handed him the card and watched as her
husband read the card, turned white and collapsed.
On the card was written: "Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti. Two with
meatballs, one without! Request bread...
If you can't change your fate, change your attitude.
I'm taking a break, can't stand it anymore! Besides, I work best when I'm either talking to someone or listening to music or something else...I'm weird I know lol, but that's the way I function hehe.
You are never going to get that paper done if you are chatting on QL. But I feel your pain. I spent many a nights staying up late because I procrastinated on my papers. Good luck on it!
lol u need to be fresh n not sleepy n tired to give your best
If you can't change your fate, change your attitude.
While clubbing is fun at times ya gotta be in the mood for coming out smelling like one big cigarette. Yuck. As far as this new name...not sure if it will catch on but it does have that consonance thing going on which is always good.
u deffinetely dont sound cool for your age..... if at this age u call your self old what will u do at my age.... age is just a # the main thing is how young u feel at heart that counts. n clubbing has got nothing to do with age specially in qatar where u will find different age group
If you can't change your fate, change your attitude.
Lucky as'es! I wish I was up cause I couldn't sleep, instead I'm up cause of a stupid paper I need to write and I can barely keep my eyes open, and after the last gallon of coffee I had, nothing can keep me awake!
call me cool..saves the typing...dont know bout u guys but guess i am a bit old for the clubbing scene....dont feel too comfy there anymore...yes lynnie the lioness...hmm name that does have a certain ring to it yeah.....lol
I am up during the night and sleep during the day. So yup a night owl I am. And am I the lioness?
being a weekend night is still young ..... most of the QL r busy clubbing
nice to see u here
If you can't change your fate, change your attitude.
hey u people are night owls like me? or did u sleep too much in afternoons like me?? lol. is that passivity temporary? when is the lioness out to roar again? lol
we all have 1 life to live so being submissive is not atall good for our blood pressuer... by the way in this hightech age tension is the # uno killer so taking a chill pill n once in a way having a laugh is a good remedy for our heart
If you can't change your fate, change your attitude.
Thanks for the suggestion. I have long since taken a 'chill pill.' I was having a woman power moment that is now gone. Passivity has taken its place.
thats why its called a joke so take a chill pill n have a laugh thats what jokes r for to lighten our mood n to have a good time plz dont take jokes so seriously
If you can't change your fate, change your attitude.
the one thing which can start a fight btween 2 women.........a topic on men lol....hey girls chill...
If you don't find it funny...I guess the author/writer suck at it.
Fortunately, it's not ME.
Relax...it's the weekend.
yes, but sometimes jokes can involve certain issues. Is a racial joke funny? Maybe, but you can also look at it as highly offensive. To me, this joke just wasn't funny.
That's why it's posted under the "Funnies"...
People constantly think about the men. Woman get the shaft on most things. Compliments and presents in no way outway what men get. Women must work for respect in what for years has been the 'mens' places of work (lawyers, doctors, anything in the business world). Men suppress women in so many ways and whether we like to think so or not men often see women as mere sexual objects there to fulfill their 'needs.' I just do not agree with this post at all. Men get plenty of the intangible things which are often more satisfying.
