I wish the people that stole from out front of our Family Store were this stupid!  (Note:  I’ve taken photos of some already and plan to pass them on to the Police)

Though I showed it to my dog Georgie and she didn’t “get it”!

I suspect in response to my post “Where are Our Great Leaders” Michael Osterman tweeted the following which should, in my opinion, be recorded for posterity!

As for current great leaders in politics, we could tweet the entire list and still use nowhere near 140 characters!

I love it.

With due acknowledgment to David Letterman and “The Late Show” here’s Pastor Paul’s top ten ways to lie (or things to watch for when you think someone might not be telling the truth).

10.  Choose a really simple lie, one that you can remember because otherwise you’ll contradict it yourself at some stage.

9.  Blame someone else, and if that fails, blame the dog.

8.  Change the subject.  (Hat tip – all politicians)

7.  Repeat this phrase, “I don’t remember.”

6.  Look the person directly in the eye when lying.

5.  Say nothing – ever.

4.  Flatly deny everything no matter what proof is forthcoming.

3.  Deny everything and claim it is all a media beat up. (Hat tip – Winston Peters)

2.  Admit to just a fraction of the lie; something you can take the heat on.

And the number 1 way to lie is…

1.  Tell the whole truth but in such a way that nobody will believe you!

From the “Only in New Zealand” file (via Stuff) the story of Bus versus Police Station.  Red faces (and more) all around I suspect.

A Hamilton flasher’s antics have led to a spectacular crash where a bus has smashed into the local police station.
Police say the strange incident happened shortly before 9am when a teenager on the Orbiter bus allegedly exposed himself to a woman passenger. She screamed, prompting the driver to phone a bus company representative, who in turn told him to drive to the nearby police station at the Flagstaff shops, River Rd.
With the female passenger still screaming, the bus driver stopped in the station carpark and – believing the bus was in neutral – activated the emergency door lock.
"Unfortunately for the driver, the bus was still in gear and it rolled into the entranceway of the station, cracking its windscreen and causing minimal damage to the building," a police statement said.
A police spokesman later confirmed that the driver and the victim left the bus and, in activating the emergency lock to trap the flasher, the park brake disengaged.
The victim was okay and recovering from her ordeal, the spokesman said.
No-one was injured in the crash and, as police said, the suspect – a 14-year-old boy – "was arrested … in a flash".
The boy was charged with carrying out an indecent act.

Oh dear…

I thought it might be fun to put together a long list about the need for people to use “Getting Things Done” GTD by David Allen.

But then I thought, lets make it a bit more interesting.  So I’ve only listed 10 reasons and I’ve tried to add a little humour.

Now it’s your turn…  Please add as many of your own reasons, (extra points awarded for wit!), as you like.

If I get enough, I’ll repost the whole list later.  Have fun, but keep it clean please.

1. You never get anything done because you’re always doing everything.
2. You don’t sleep well because you’re worried about something you haven’t done.
3. You over promise and under deliver.
4. You never seem to achieve anything significant even though you work hard and long.
5. Your memory doesn’t seem to be what it once was.
6. You don’t sleep well because you’re worried there might be something you haven’t done.
7. People feel they have to keep reminding you about something you promised to do.
8. Your natural creativity is being blocked by time constraints.
9. Your children feel the need to ask your spouse, “Who’s that?” when you do manage to get home on time.
10. You’re always constipated because you don’t even have time to…
