Subject: Denver Airport
Denver
Airport -- True Story
This
is hilarious.
I wish I had the guts of this girl. For all of you
out there who've had to deal with an irate customer, this one is for
you. It's a classic! An award should go
to the United Airlines gate agent in Denver for being
smart and funny, while making her point, when
confronted with a passenger who probably deserved
to fly as cargo.
A crowded United Airlines flight was canceled.
A single agent was rebooking a long line of inconvenienced
travelers. Suddenly an angry
passenger pushed his way to the desk. He slapped
his ticket on the counter and said, "I HAVE to be
on this flight and it has to be FIRST CLASS."
The
agent replied, "I am sorry, sir. I'll be happy to try to help
you, but I've got to help these folks first, and I'm sure we'll be
able to work something
out."
The
passenger was unimpressed. He asked loudly, so
that the passengers behind him could hear, "DO YOU
HAVE ANY IDEA WHO I AM?"
Without
hesitating, the agent smiled and grabbed
her public address microphone, "May I have your
attention please," she began, her voice heard
clearly throughout the terminal. "We have a passenger
here at Gate 14 WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHO HE IS.
If anyone can help him find his identity, please come
to Gate 14."
With
the folks behind him in line laughing hysterically,
the man glared at the United agent, gritted his teeth
and swore "F*** You!".
Without
flinching, she smiled and said, "I'm sorry,
sir, but you'll have to get in line for that too.

The

Charges
as per weight
A German hotel owner who
charges guests according to their weight defended himself against
accusations that he was discriminating against fat people. Juergen
Heckrodt said the 50 cents ($0.64 cent) per kg rate he charges is
competitive for local three-star hotels and added there is a 74-euro
($94) limit for a double room for those who refuse to get on the
scale. “It’s not discrimination at all,” Heckrodt said. “No
one has refused to climb the scale. Nevertheless, no one has yet to
say ‘no, forget that’.” He said that some guests strip down to
try to save money.

Release Your Tension Through Meditation
The moment you are in tension
You will lose your attention
Then you are in total confusion
And you will feel irritation
Then you will spoil personal relation
Ultimately you won't get co-operation
Then you will create complication
Then your BP may rise caution
And you may have to take medication
Instead understand the situation
And try to think about solution
To get real freedom from tension
You have to undergo spiritual education
And learn Rajyoga meditation
Which is soul and God communication
You need to have determination
To make time for divine contemplation
Because only meditation can replace medication
Which will bring real relaxation
Of mind and body, to have satisfaction.

A
Needle Can Save LIFE of a STROKE PATIENT!!!??
First Aid for Stroke
Keep a syringe or needle
in your home to do this...
It ' s amazing and an unconventional way of recovering from
stroke, read it through it can help somebody 1 day.
This is amazing, if it works. Please keep this very handy...
Excellent tips. Do take a minute to read this. You ' ll never
know. One ' s life may depend on you.
My father was paralyzed and later died from the result of a
stroke. I wish I knew about this first aid before. When a stroke
strikes, the capillaries in the brain will burst gradually. When a
stroke occurs, stay calm. No matter where the victim is, do
not move him/her. If the victim is moved, the capillaries
in the brain will burst. Help the victim to sit up where he is to
prevent him from falling over again, and then the bloodletting can
begin.
If you have in your home an injection syringe that would be the
best, otherwise, a sewing needle or a straight pin will do. Place
the needle/pin over fire to sterilize it, and then use it to prick
the tip of all 10 fingers.
There are no specific acupuncture points, just prick about one mm
from the fingernail. Prick till blood comes out. If blood does not
start to drip, then squeeze with your fingers. When all 10
fingernails is bleeding, wait for a few minutes until the victim
regain consciousness.
If the victim ' s mouth is crooked, then pull on his ears until
they are red. Then prick each ear lobe twice until two drops of
blood comes from each ear lobe. After a few minutes, the victim
should regain consciousness.
Wait until the victim regains his normal state. If he does not
show any abnormal symptoms, take him to the hospital. Otherwise,
if he was taken to the hospital in an ambulance, the bumpy trip to
the hospital could cause all the capillaries in his brain to
burst.
I learned about bloodletting to save life from Chinese traditional
doctor Ha Bu-Ting who lives in Sun-Juke. Furthermore, I had
practical experience with it. Therefore I can say this method is
100% effective. In 1979, I was teaching in Fung-Gaap College in
Tai-Chung. One afternoon I was teaching class when another teacher
came running to my class room and said in panting, "Mr. Liu,
come quick, our supervisor has had a stroke!."
I immediately went to the 3rd floor. When I saw our supervisor,
Mr.Chen Fu-Tien,
his color was
off, his speech was slurred, his mouth was crooked-all the
symptoms of a stroke.
I immediately asked one of the practicum students to go to the
pharmacy outside the school to buy a syringe, which I used to
prick Mr. Chen ' s 10 fingers tips. When all 10 fingers were
bleeding (each with a pea-sized drop of blood), after a few
minutes, Mr. Chen ' s face regained its color and his eyes '
spirit returned, too.
But his mouth was still crooked. So I pulled on his ears to fill
them with blood.
When his ears became red, I pricked his right earlobe twice to let
out 2 drops of blood. When both earlobes had two drops of blood
each, a miracle happened.
Within 3-5 minutes, the shape of his mouth returned to normal and
his speech became clear. We let him rest for a while and have a
cup of hot tea, then we helped him go down the stairs, drove him
to Wei-Wah Hospital .
He rested one night and was released the next day to return to
school to teach. Everything worked normally. There were no ill
after-effects. On the other hand, the usual stroke victim usually
suffers irreparable bursting of the brain capillaries on the way
to the hospital. As a result, these victims never recover. If he
survived the stroke, chances are, the damaged capillaries in the
brain could cause him disabilities and he would remain paralyzed
for the rest of his life.
Therefore, stroke is the second cause of death.
It is such a horrible thing to happen to anybody. If we can all
remember this bloodletting method and start the life-saving
process immediately, we may save the victim.. The victim will be
revived from the stroke. We may also save him from paralysis and
he may regain 100% normality.
We hope you can tell others about this first aid method. Someday,
stroke may be removed from the list of major causes of death.
