Aliens

Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus

This phrase is so commonly used after some author published a book just to talk about the differences between men and women. Personally, I thought it was a book to shield both men and women from their inadequacies, no doubt there are quite major differences between the 2 genders. Still, the book makes entertaining reading for those who take the time to flip through the pages. Then again, if men are from Mars and women are from Venus, wouldn't their off-spring be some weird alien from Men in Black? Probably thats why there are gays and lesbians around to preserve the pure race of Marshians and Venusians!

As far as I am concerned, hamburgers are not from Hamburg and french fries are not French. Men and women are merely 2 ends of the same rainbow.


Humans Are Alien

Anyway, to humans are very contradictory species. To illustrate how alien human beings can be sometimes, I thought of a list of some weird things human beings engage in:

1. Work - humans invented work, then slog themselves to death working.

2. Education - humans created education, then force everybody to learn something. Yet eventually, we end up doing something different from what we learned later in life.

3. Sex - sex is a procreation process. Humans call it sex to make it sound more appealing. Then they invented contraceptives to prevent procreation. The government eventually steps in to encourage more sex by promoting a happy family. Then humans get taxed for bearing more children when the population gets a little too big. Vicious cycle!

4. Pornography - its a lame excuse to have sex as part of your work. Its entirely different from prostitution because sex is everything about your work. Its amazing why humans like watching other humans having sex when its better doing it yourself. Is it because of the 108 positions ... err ... transformations?

5. Food - humans argue that we live to eat, thats why we create food with cute little designs and all kinds of flavours. The fact is that we have to eat to live, period!

6. Laws - when human creativity is stifled, advocates of the creative spirit encourages others to think out of the box, to know that laws are meant to be broken. Yah I agree, Law is a boring subject to be studying.

7. Speech - if a picture speaks a thousand words, I would rather draw a picture. Correspondingly, if speech is silver, silence is gold, its always better to keep your mouth shut. Still, human beings talk more than anything else.

So what should you do when someone offers to hold for you while you are peeing at the urinal in the toilet at Zouk on a Sunday night? My best friend advocates this reply, "50 dollars!"
