The Blonde and the Lawyer
A blonde and a lawyer are seated next to each other on a flight from LA to NY.
The lawyer asks if she would like to play a fun game.
The blonde, tired, just wants to take a nap, politely declines and rolls over to the window to
catch a few winks.
The lawyer persists and explains that the game is easy and a lot of fun.
He explains, "I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me
$5.00, and vise versa."
Again, she declines and tries to get some sleep. The lawyer, now agitated, says, "Okay, if
you don't know the answer you pay me $5.00, and if I don't know the answer, I will pay you
$500.00."
This catches the blonde's attention and, figuring there will be no end to this torment
unless she plays, agrees to the game. The lawyer asks the first question. "What's the distance
from the earth to the moon?" The blonde doesn't say a word, reaches into her purse, pulls
out a $5.00 bill and hands it to the lawyer. "Okay" says the lawyer, "your turn."
She asks the lawyer, "What goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four
legs?" The lawyer, puzzled, takes out his laptop computer and searches all his references,
no answer. He taps into the air phone with his modem and searches the net and the library
of congress, no answer. Frustrated, he sends e-mails to all his friends and coworkers, to no
avail. After an hour, he wakes the blonde, and hands her $500.00.
The blonde says, "Thank you", and turns back to get some more sleep.
The lawyer, who is more than a little miffed, wakes the blonde and asks, "Well, what's the
answer?" Without a word, the blonde reaches into her purse, hands the lawyer $5.00, and goes
back to sleep.

Muslim's Headscarf
The right to freedom of religion is enshrined in the UN charter and considered by many to be
a basic human right. Some religions require special diet, others prayer at specific times. Why
should a religious mode of dress receive as much protection as these other aspects of religious
freedom?
Many Muslim women view the veil as a means to protect their modesty and privacy.
Just as we would not force any women to be seen in public in her underwear if she did not
feel comfortable doing so, why should a woman be forced to show her hair if she does not
want to? Modesty is a personal judgment call; some are comfortable in the smallest bikini
while others prefer a lot more clothing. No one but the woman herself should make that
decision.
Muslim women are not the only ones to feel coerced over their mode of dress. Most
people are affected by the societal norms surrounding them. Fashion trends could be seen
in exactly the same light as religious traditions.
Banning head coverings is only likely to provoke a more extreme reaction among highly
religious communities. Framing laws to ban only Islamic forms of dress could be considered an
attack on one religion. Feeling under attack could cause the Islamic community to close off into
itself. They could set up religious schools where their children can dress as they want them to
and not mix with children from other faiths. These effects could never be good for the integration
of society and would further the influence of extremists. Internationally, the perceived attack on
Islamic values would inflame wider Muslim opinion, feed conspiracy theories and add to the
dangerous feeling that there is a clash of civilizations.
Intolerant schools make up problems as an excuse for not allowing Muslims freedom
of religious expression. In a multicultural society, students should be aware of the different
religious practice and cultural traditions of their classmates, and be taught to understand
and respect these. Without such respect, Muslims and other groups with distinctive dress,
such as Orthodox Jews and Sikhs, will be driven out of mainstream education and forced to
educate their children separately, which will really create divisions and alienation.
Based on the above discussion, the government should not banned Muslim's headscarf
as a part of school or office uniforms.

Day
Julia Ward Howe and Anna Jarvis were the best known pioneers who took up the cause
of Mothers Day in the United States. Julia Ward Howes Mothers Day in 1872 was a call
for disarmament by women. Anna Jarvis, in 1907, organized a day to raise awareness of
poor health condition in her community, a cause she believed would be best advocated by
mothers. She called it Mothers Work Day. In 1914, US President, Woodrow Wilson
signed a Joint Declaration. He declared the second Sunday of May as Mothers Day, the
day to honor motherhood. Today, however, some may think that the commercial
community
purposely
created
Mothers
Day
to
make
some
extra
money.
Nowadays, this auspicious day has literally become commercial affair. Many people
spend their time buying material gifts for their mothers. In order to sell more products,
many restaurants, gift shops, cake shops and florists usually give special offers on
Mothers Day. Consequently, their cash registers keep ringing non stop. Obviously,
Mothers
Day
has
become
major
profit
makes
for
businesses.
It is important to remember that the reason behind celebrating Mothers Day is to say
thanks to the most important person in our life our mother. It is the day to tell her how
much
we
love
her
and
how
special
she
is
for
us.
Therefore, instead of merely giving material gifts, giving our mother what she needs and
really wants is more precious. Showing off our love by spending more time with her, for
example, will certainly give us nothing but heartfelt thanks and real gratitude from our
mother.

A Lion
and a Mouse
A lion was awakened from sleep by a mouse running over his face. Rising up angrily, he
caught him and was about to kill him when the mouse piteously entered, saying, If you
would
only
spare
my
life,
would
be
sure
to
repay
your
kindness.
The lion laughed and let him go. It happened shortly after this that the lion was caught by
hunters, who bound with him with strops to the ground. The mouse, recognizing his roar,
came, gnawed the rope with his teeth, and set him free, exclaiming, You ridiculed the idea
of my ever being able to help you, expecting to receive from me any repayment of your
favor; now you know that it is possible for even a mouse to confer on a big lion.
