Apple


heheh, just heard about this joke from my gf. she said she overhead it from the radio. ;D

There is a girl which stuck between two guys who admire her so much.
One of them, let us call him A, is an ordinary lorry driver
The other guy, B is a doctor in a famous hospital.

And so, one day there is a job for the lorry driver which requires him to leave the town for a week. One of the first few things popped in his mind -yeah, the girl. He couldn`t just let the doctor using the opportunity to win the girl`s heart!

He decided to give a bucket of apples to the girl with a note saying that he`s leaving the town just for a week. Apparently the girl became confused and started wondering why would A give him a bucket of apples.

Before she turned her head to something else, she took a glance of small sentences at the bottom of the note saying :

AN APPLE A DAY, KEEPS THE DOCTOR AWAY!!! ;D

Fun Facts about Poker

Why dogs can't play poker

Hye there, have u played poker before? I mean like really playing it, using chips and stuff.

When I say playing poker, if you are playing the usual card games (e.g 5 cards, B2, etc. ), then it is NOT POKER.

Poker is more exhilarating and adrenaline pumping. You would feel the rush whenever you wanna place a bet, call other`s bet or maybe when you wanna call a bluff.

The thing is, you might say that poker is just a game of chance. well, it`s not entirely true since you also have to acquire the capability to bluff and read other people`s mind/body language. experienced player could tell the difference if someone is bluffing or not.

But I`m not gonna explain all about it since I`m supposed to present the fun facts about poker! ;)
