Zimbabwe and Hyper Inflation

This is what it looks like in Zimbabwe. Inflation at 231 million % a year has meant 25 million Zimbabwe Dollars equals to just 1 US Dollar.

Visiting the neighborhood grocer!
Some pocket money!
Awesome price tag!
This is how people pay in restaurants!
The bill of course!
The 100 billion dollar note in circulation!

They are now releasing a 100 TRILLION banknote… If you want to feel like a trillionaire for a few days, a holiday to Zimbabwe will surely give you that feeling!

And 1 trillion = $33 USD..

In 1980 ZMD was equivalent to British pounds and now!

This is what we call Hyper Inflation!

Honeymoon

Once upon a time in China, there lived a happy couple, Mr. & Mrs.Chan with their 3 lovely daughters: Elaine, Ena & Ella.

The 3 daughters were brought up in a prim-and-proper way and when they reached 20, they were still virgins.

Years passed, and it was time to get them married. So, the parents found them the most suitable 'leng chais'(handsome guys). They got married and were preparing to set-off on their honeymoon.

As 'concerned' parents, Mr.& Mrs. Chan were curious about their daughters' first-night experience. So, before the daughters went on their respective honeymoons, Mrs. Chan told them, 'Your father & I want to know about your 1st night encounters and whether you are satisfied. Write a letter to us, but so as not to raise your husbands' curiosity... you all must use a code to describe your experiences. '

So, the excited daughters were off. A week passed. Mr. & Mrs. Chan got the first letter. It was from Elaine.

They opened the letter and found the word STANDARD CHARTERED.

They immediately took the newspaper and looked for the Standard Chartered advertisement. 'Ah! Here it is!!!!' .. exclaimed Mr. Chan. The motto for Standard Chartered was:

'BIG, STRONG & FRIENDLY.' Mr. & Mrs. Chan were happy.

A week later, they got another letter. This time it was from Ena. The content was simple.. 'NESCAFE'. So again they took the newspaper and looked for the Nescafe ad. 'Ah! here it is..

'NESCAFE: PLEASURE TILL THE LAST DROP.' Mr.. and Mrs. Chan jumped for joy.

Another week passed. A month passed. 2 months passed. There was still no letter from Ella. The Chans became worried.

Finally, the letter came. It was scribbled and could hardly be read, but Mrs. Chan managed to figure it out. The code was 'PHILIPPINE AIRLINES'.

Mr.Chan, confused on why she chose Philippine Airlines, rushed to the nearest store and got a newspaper. He flipped the pages frantically. ....... 'Ah! Here it is!!!' Mrs.Chan grabbed the page and read aloud.

Before she could finish...THUMP! !!...she fell off her chair...

The Airline's motto was...
'7 TIMES A WEEK. 4 TO 6 TIMES A DAY. NON-STOP....

Can You Con

An Indian discovered that nobody can create a FOLDER anywhere on the computer which can be named as “CON”. This is something pretty cool and unbelievable.. At Microsoft the whole team, including Bill Gates, couldn’t answer why this happened!

So, inform about this to all your friends. TRY IT NOW, IT WILL NOT CREATE "CON” FOLDER. Try to rename the New Folder as CON or con it will not accept.
