I received these jokes a while back on my email and thought that I should share them on Orinity. As a student whose major is marketing, they are pretty funny. Enjoy!

1. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say: “I am very rich. Marry me!” – That is Direct Marketing
2. You’re at a party with a bunch of friends and see a gorgeous girl. One of your friends goes up to her and pointing at you and says: “He’s very rich. Marry him.” – That’s Advertising
3. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and get her telephone number. The next day, you call and say: “Hi, I’m very rich. Marry me.” – That’s Telemarketing
4. You’re at a party and see a gorgeous girl. You get up and straighten your tie, you walk up to her and pour her a drink, you open the door (of the car) for her, pick up her bag after she drops it, offer her ride and then say: “By the way, I’m rich. Will you marry me?” – That’s Public Relations
5. You’re at a party and see a gorgeous girl. She walks up to you and says: “You are very rich! Can you marry me?” – That’s Brand Recognition
6. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say: “I am very rich. Marry me!” She gives you a nice hard slap on your face. – That’s Customer Feedback
7. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and say: “I am very rich. Marry me!” Then she introduces you to her husband. – That’s the demand and supply gap
8. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and before you say anything, another person come and tell her: “I’m rich. Will you marry me?” and she goes with him – That is the competition eating into your market share
9. You see a gorgeous girl at a party. You go up to her and before you say: “I’m rich, marry me!” your wife arrives. – That’s restriction for entering new markets

Despite the ongoing recession and people’s investment portfolios at next to worthless, Austrian jeweller Peter Aloisson decided to create the most expensive iPhone 3G, the “Kings Button”. I am pretty sure this iPhone is the only iPhone with that much bling-bling on it. The price tag? A freaking $2.5 million (S$3.875 million)!

The home button is bedazzled with a 6.6 carat diamond and the case is remade out of solid 18-carat yellow, white and rose gold. What’s more? The jeweller finished off with a case outline of a white gold line encrusted with 138 diamonds “of the best quality”. Are you even tempted?

As a moderate PC gamer, I don’t buy PC games often mainly due to the prices that usually turn me off. However, I just found out that many games can be bought from SteamPowered at a price much lower compared to those at the stores. For example, my cousin bought Football Manager 2009 at S$61 while I got mine at US$27 which convert to around S$39. A total savings of S$22!

With everyone suddenly changing their minds on global warming, buying games online seems to be a much better move. The consumer saves the space needed to keep the boxes and also the material cost that comes with manufacturing the package. That’s killing two birds with one stone, I would say. For those who are interested in buying PC Games, SteamPowered seems to be a good alternative and you can even buy a game as a gift to someone else.

The main downside is that you will need to download and install the Steam client in order to download the game. It is a bit of a hassle but since my desktop is switched on 24/7, it don’t bother me.

Usually a typical train ride during a weekday morning rush hour is filled with inconsiderate acts of pregnant ladies having to stand while people with less burden snoring or reading newspapers in their seats. However, I managed to see something rather extreme just this morning while in transit. An old man actually spit on the train floor and tried to clean it up using his slippers. YUCKS!

Here’s a lesson to everyone. No matter what, please do not spit even when you are outdoors!

This entry should be pretty popular with lovers of the colour pink or Nintendo Mario fans. This pink Honda is a local car too!
