Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]# # Want to check the archives? http://www.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet/# # Please keep your discussion/tone polite, to reflect respect to others # ## - Forwarded message from Jerry Fernandes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Date: 1 Jun 2004 18:54:29 - From: Jerry Fernandes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hello Goanetters, Almeida is absolute right, and this is what i received thru some friend, which I am forwarding to all Goa netters. If you ever feel stupid, then just read on. If you've learned to speak fluent English, you must be a genius! This little treatise on the lovely language we share is only for the brave. Peruse at your leisure, English lovers. Reasons why the English language is so hard to learn: 1) The bandage was wound around the wound. 2) The farm was used to produce produce. 3) The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse. 4) We must polish the Polish furniture. 5) He could lead if he would get the lead out. 6) The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert. 7) Since there is no time like the present, he thought it was time to present the present. 8) A bass was painted on the head of the bass drum. 9) When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes. 10) I did not object to the object. 11) The insurance was invalid for the invalid. 12) There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row. 13) They were too close to the door to close it. 14) The buck does funny things when the does are present. 15) A seamstress and a sewer fell down into a sewer line. 16) To help with planting, the farmer taught his sow to sow. 17) The wind was too strong to wind the sail 18) After a number of injections my jaw got number. 19) Upon seeing the tear in the painting I shed a tear. 20) I had to subject the subject to a series of tests. 21) How can I intimate this to my most intimate friend? There is no egg in egg plant nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren't invented in England or French fries in France. Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat. Quicksand works slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig. And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of booth beeth? One goose, 2 geese. So one moose, 2 meese? Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend. If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it? Is it an odd, or an end? If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat? In what language do people recite at a play and play at a recital? Ship by truck and send cargo by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell? How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out and in which, an alarm goes off by going on. English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race, which, of course, is not a race at all. That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible. 1. If you're too open-minded, your brains will fall out. 2. Don't worry about what people think; they don't do it very often. 3. Going to a church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car. 4. It isn't the jeans that make your butt look fat. 5. Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity. 6. My idea of housework is to sweep the room with a glance. 7. Not one shred of evidence supports the notion that life is serious. 8. It is easier to get forgiveness than permission. 9. For every action, there is an equal and opposite government program. 10. If you look like your passport picture, you probably need the trip. 11. Bills travel through the mail at twice the speed of checks. 12. A conscience is what hurts when all your other parts feel good. 13. Eat well, stay fit, die anyway. 14. Men are from earth. Women are from earth. Deal with it. 15. No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes. 16. A balanced diet is a cookie in each hand. 17. Middle age is when broadness of the mind and narrowness of the waist change places. 18. Opportunities always look bigger going than coming. 19. Junk is something you've kept for years and throw away three weeks before you need it. 20. There is always one more imbecile than you counted on. 21. Experience is a wonderful thing. It enables you

## # Is Goanet not reaching you? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]# # Want to check the archives? http://www.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet/# # Please keep your discussion/tone polite, to reflect respect to others # ## The show was really entertaining, but heard everyone wisper, that first time in recent history people attended a drama in such small number, is this a sign of revolt for AVC's association with GWS, its belived that GWS is known as a oponant of Konkani movement. In the second place it was a revolt against Jose Rod who was wrongly projected as super star, if he was super star as advertised, why could his presence attract enough audience. The Chief Guest Mr. Wilson Coelho his his short speech during the interval said "do not creat a rift among us and further said the rift creators among tiatrist are those who are not tiatrist". Let me ask Mr. Coelho very humbly, if he does agree with Jose Rod's commandment which says "I Rosary is acting in any drama I will not act in that show" is it not correct to say that tiatrist only are creating a rift among themselves? The review jointly written by Mr. Damian D'Cruz with inputs from Goa-World faild to openly disclose those who were fighting at back-stage, by not disclossing the true picture they have simply given a fake story. In the third place the role played by Mr. Donald was superb along with his 2 brothers, Mr. Gracry was the glamour of the show, comedy was excellent, regretfully the role of a Manglorean played by the so called superstar was disasterous, cause the language he spoke in Manglorean accent was poor and an insult to our Manglorean brothers and sisters.How is it possible that he speaks in manglorean and his sister Jane speaks as a pure goan? Jane did well too as well as everyone else too. Cheers to Donald Colaco. Well wisher. Carlito Carneiro. - Still single?
