so, do you think you can become the next fairest of the land?
this is how to .............

Humor: tips on how to take your measurements for Girls

Aim: find out if you meet the required standards of Miss Uganda

Hypothesis: due to evolution and genes most Ugandan woman, are less than a meter tall. (My view)


Materials you need: 1 book
1 tape measurer
1 pen
1 piece of paper
All the villagers to witness your occasion. It’s a good way to get people on your cheering committee


Method:
1. get to the venue of your own measurement before time
2. take your shoes off
3. stand straight with your back against the wall
4. tell your excited fans to get a book and place it straight over your head
5. Now, move away, while the book is still held into place.
6. measure the distance from the floor to the bottom of the book
7. record the results
8. Fill in the application forms if your height is on the mark.

Start practicing and perfecting your English, catwalk and the like.

So good luck

humour :10 tips on how to waste time at work for employees

10 ways on how to waste time at work for employees in these companies (mtn uganda, celtel, utl, warid)

There are lots of people out there who just don’t understand the finer points of wasting time at work. Lots of people are so afraid of getting caught, they don’t waste time at work. They work the entire 100,000 hours. For those scared of being fired, you are right to be afraid. but remember your working and doing too much and hence speeding your retirement process.

1. Drink Lots of rwenzori Water
Water, Tea and Coffee make you urinate quicker and more often than other drinks.use that water in the small Rwenzori frige alone. No one can blame you for normal bodily functions. pee peeee peee and peee

2. Be Clean
While you’re in the bathroom take an extra couple of seconds to wash your hands thoroughly. apply makeup on. And this goes for men too. you can also lock the door to the toilets and sheve your pubics or remove the hairs from your nose.


3. Be Sloppy
keep your desk a mess especially on Friday afternoons and public holiday eves. cleaning up your work area, rearranging pens in your desk, and categorizing your push pins by color.


4. refix all office Computer
Load your computer with unnecessary programs that make your machine run slower. or remove all the ram and resale it on Nasser road. (don't throw it away you nut case)
While your waiting for the PC to process information sit back and relax. pay or buy lunch for your comany IT specialist to fix that of the boss as well. he will agree with you when ever you say, “Damn computers”



5. The Internet
This is not a green flag activty in most companies.
Be very careful misusing the company PC to surf the web for personal enjoyment like say looking for a mate.
The best time wasting advantage is to use it for all research. If you need a phone number for a client across town, use the internet to find it. Most people just reach for a phone book, which is by far faster than using the internet especially if your service provider is slow on bandwidth.roughly 33 minutes each day will make expecting your next pay check relly agonisely less stressful.

6. Naps
Lots of people want to take naps at work. This is very dangerous and should only be attempted by the most seasoned napper. pretend to be reading so many bizzness but place them infront of your face as thou it's top secret company to do next week things. enjoy your nap but remember never snooze or let your head tilt sideways If you must take a nap you might try this idea from the “Nap Play Book”.

7. Nap tulo-tulo special--
Fill a coffee mug for breakfast and buy lots of fried cassava as acompanments. Find a low traffic area in the office and chew as if your are feed on concret.close your one eye and the other placed at the suppervior's door.


8. office KB
Enter business conversations around the office that are taking place in the open. don’t INPUT much in the conversation. but nod your head lots to show you are present and listening. excuse your self to the loo , once to many times as if your bladder is inpaired


9. Meetings
Go to every meeting that is inappropriate for you to attend. how many people miss the opportunity at wasting time by ducking out of or avoiding meetings. Once you’re in meeting, think about what you did at the EKIGUNDA KYOMWAKA


10. Ask Your most vocal pal to call you on the free customer service line.


Remember, you can’t waste the company’s time if you don’t work for the company. With a little effort no one will ever know how little you do.
plus, that way we get the chance to be hired if your fired . hehe
