It really wasn’t really until I started getting emails and comments asking if I was ok, that I remembered that the KFC and McDonalds had been bombed the other day. So yeah, I’m fine. Thanks for your concern though. My penchant for fried chicken did not endanger me on that particular day. The KFC is [...]

Yesterday morning I was sitting on my bed in a daze, pulling on my socks, trying to clear the haze of sleep from my head. To be fair, I usually accomplish this around 11:00, but I start working on it around 8:30 (the haze, not the socks). As I pulled on my left sock, which [...]

If a dentist has a bad day, is he allowed to say, “Man, that procedure was like pulling teeth”? Along those same lines, I’ve often wondered if brain surgeons ever shrug sarcastically and say, “Well, it’s not rocket science.”

Condoms make me laugh. Well, not the latex itself, but more so the brand names. And I guess they don’t make me laugh so much as chuckle ironically. It just seems to me that whoever it was that decided on these names just wasn’t using his head (or the right one anyway). Think about it: [...]

The latest billboard ad from the Karachi branch of Nando’s, the international chicken chain, states: Nandos: A Chick That Looks Good and Tastes Great! Of course, that is an admirable goal, one that I suppose I seek myself, but considering their audience, I’m not sure exactly what they’re going for with this one. If they [...]

This morning I almost dropped a bottle of cologne onto the cold, hard tile floor. This would have been a disaster, albeit the best smelling disaster this side of a bakery explosion.

This weekend, a friend of mine told me that she had decided that I really wasn’t that funny, it’s just that funny things seem to happen to me. I wasn’t at all sure how to take that. But… ouch. Oh well, at least I’m still funny looking.

Here are a few things I don’t care for.  I don’t hate them, I just don’t like them: Coloured Toilet Paper I’m not a fan of coloured toilet paper.  For some reason, there’s a lot of coloured toilet paper in Pakistan: pink, blue, it’s all about the pastels.  I don’t know why that is.  Why [...]

It’s amazing just how much snack foods in this country amuse me. Although, I suppose that it’s more so the advertising campaigns that crack me. Anyway, the latest one to catch my eye is a billboard I drive by most days advertising “F-16 Ice Cream.” It’s a product of Igloo Ice Cream, Pakistan and I [...]

Can you tell me why my Shampoo bottle contains 250 ml, whereas my conditioner only contains 200 ml? They’re the same brand. They are supposed to go hand in hand. But inevitably I end up with a quarter bottle of shampoo left when my conditioner runs out. Then I’m not very well going to make [...]
