She Caught Her Husband In The "A..." Act And Dazed Him

At a joint yesterday evening, a man came in with his girlfriend and ordered drinks and fish.

They were drinking and holding hands while the lady rested her head on the guy's shoulder.

They both were having fun, until a woman walked in with a baby not more than 4 months.

She dragged a chair and joined the man doing ROMANCE with his girlfriend.

The girl stared at the woman with surprise while the man was
dumbfounded. Immediately both of them lost their appetite

Then the woman called the Bar attendants "please give me a bottle of malt and Fresh fish" and they served her.

Then her baby started crying, she put him on her breast and continued eating.

She now called the bar attendant to call people in the kitchen which he did, then she ordered for two fresh fish (point & kill), they told her its N2,500 each, she ordered for two and also ordered for 3 full mortars of Isi-ewu @ N4,000 each.

They prepared and packaged all for her.

She then ordered for 7 cans of malt which they gave her.

All this while the man was scared that the woman would create a Scene at the joint, while the girl he came with was no longer comfortable.

When she was about to go, the bar man said "Please madam your
money" and she replied "My husband here will pay".

She quietly dropped her baby on her husband's laps and went with her Goodies home to meet her other 6 children for whom she told her husband that it would be their dinner.

People there started laughing and talking, while the girl now fully ashamed quietly left the joint with head bowed.

The man then asked for the bill, which obviously was more than what he has in his wallet.

He was however lucky to have ATM card which he gave to the bar attendant to withdraw money. When the guy came back, he settled the bill and left there in SHAME.

On getting him with the crying baby, guess what happened???

Just guess!!!

Protest can be done in a peaceful manner and the full aim and impact achieved.

The woman didn't make noise, but her actions effectively spoke for her.

25 Ridiculous Phrases To Stop Using At Work

Please Stop Saying These 25 Ridiculous Phrases at Work

By:     Travis Bradberry

These days, workplace conversations can sound like they're taking place on another planet.

At first, euphemisms surfaced in the workplace to help people deal with touchy subjects that were difficult to talk about.

Before long, they morphed into corporate buzzwords that expanded and took over our vocabulary until our everyday conversations started sounding like they were taking place on another planet:

Listen Ray, I don't have the bandwidth for it with everything that's on my plate, but ping me anyway because at the end of the day it's on my radar and I don't want to be thrown under the bus because I didn't circle back around on this no-brainer.

I understand the temptation.

These catchphrases are spicy and they make you feel clever (low-hanging fruit is a crutch of mine), but they also annoy the hell out of people.

If you think that you can use these phrases without consequence, you're kidding yourself. Just pay close attention to how other people react to your using them, and you'll see that these phrases don't cast you in a favorable light.

After all, TalentSmart has tested the emotional intelligence of more than a million people and one of the biggest need areas for most people is social awareness.

Most of us are so focused on what we're saying and what we're going to say next that we lose sight of how our words affect other people.

So give this list a read, think of how often you use some of these words, and see if you can catch yourself before you use them again.

Have some fun with it, because at the end of the day if you don't hit the ground running you can always go back to the drawing board and get the ball rolling...

At the end of the day

Back to the drawing board

Hit the ground running

Get the ball rolling

Low-hanging fruit

Throw under the bus

Think outside the box

Let's touch base

Get my manager's blessing

It's on my radar

Ping me

I don't have the bandwidth

No brainer

Par for the course

Bang for your buck

Synergy

Move the goal post

Apples to apples

Win-win

Circle back around

All hands on deck

Take this offline

Drill-down

Elephant in the room

On my plate

What phrases are your pet peeves?

Please share them in the comments section below.

It'll also be fun to read the ridiculous sentences you can come up with using words from the list above (write them in the comments).

I'll send an autographed copy of my book to whoever comes up with the phrase that makes me laugh the hardest.

Because, after all, I learn just as much from you as you do from me.
