Roland the Englishman went to Spain on a fishing trip.

Roland hired a Spanish guide to help him find the best fishing spots. Since he was learning Spanish, of course Roland asked the guide to speak to him only in Spanish and correct any mistakes of usage.

They were hiking together on a mountain trail, when a very large purple and blue-coloured fly crossed their path.
~
The Englishman appraised the fly, pointing upwards with his new fishing rod in his hands, offering a phrase in broken Spanish, "Mira...el...mosca."

The relentless guide, turning the error into an honest opportunity to show proper language skills, chided, "No, señor, 'la mosca' es feminina."

Roland looked at the guide, then back at the fly, and said, "You have spectacular eyesight!"

NIETZSCHE's Guide to Tech Support

When a noxious user comes calling for assistance do not forget that HE is the nitwit and HE is weak. Moreover, only that archaic loser would need to come to you for the crumbs of help that may fall from your godlike mouth.
=
He is a fool, more, a poor mug! He's also not a clue in the race of the weak and strong. His kind's doomed to extinction. Focus, show no mercy... zilch. You must treat the poor beggar firmly with the full contempt he deserves. It's the Law of Nature, crucial, that you do so.

THE SPECIAL CATEGORY

1st - Adie Pena with:
Aoi Sorawa


2nd - Tony Crafter with:
CURTAIN RODS

On the first day, she sadly packed her belongings into boxes, crates and suitcases.

On the second day, she had all her things collected by the removal company.

On the third day, she sat down for the very last time at their beautiful teak dining-room table. She put on some soothing background music, and feasted by candlelight on a plate of shrimps, a jar of caviar, and a bottle of spring-water.

When she had finished, she went into every room and deposited a few half-eaten shrimps dipped in caviar into the hollow centre of the curtain rods.

She then cleaned up the kitchen and left the house.

On the fourth day, the husband moved in with his new girlfriend, and at first it was all blissful harmony.

Then, slowly, the house began to smell.

They tried everything: cleaning, mopping, and airing-out the whole house.

The vents were thoroughly checked for dead rodents, and all the carpets were steam cleaned.

Air fresheners were hung everywhere. Exterminators were brought in to fumigate the whole house, during which time the two lovers had to move out for several days. They even paid to have the expensive wool carpeting replaced. But nothing they tried worked. The house still reeked.

Suddenly, people stopped coming to call.

Repairmen refused to do any work in the house.

The maid quit.
~
In the end, they could bear the stench no longer, and decided they had to move. But a month later - even though they'd cut the price in half - they still couldn't find a buyer for such a smelly house.

Word began to spread, and in time even the local realtors refused to visit or return their calls.

Unable to wait a moment longer for a purchaser, they had to borrow a vast sum of money from the bank in order to purchase a new place.

Then the ex-wife called the man and asked him how things were progressing. He told her the grim story of the stinking house. She listened quietly and replied that she was missing her old home terribly and would even be prepared to reduce her final divorce settlement in exchange for having the house she loved.

Knowing that she could have no possible idea of how disgusting this smell was, he accepted her offer and settled on a sale figure that was a tenth of what the house had initially been priced at ... but only if she signed the papers that very day.

She concurred, and within two hours her lawyers delivered the completed paperwork.

A week later the man and his girlfriend stood smiling as they watched a moving company packing their possessions to send off to their new abode.

And to spite the ex-wife, they even took the curtain rods.

I just love a happy ending, don't you?
