Of rings and words

Rings! Those circular things that bring about endless fascination and envy. Gold rings, silver rings, nose rings, diamond rings, earrings, toe rings, you have them all. Or at least you think you have them all. If you want to get married but are too poor or cheapskate, rather than get the cliche coke can ring, you should get the scientific and intellectual benzene ring.







Now available in four different shapes and sizes at all good jewelry stores.

It's gonna be a riot if you buy it. After all, you've seen a diamond ring, but have you seen a benzene ring before?

And it shouldn't be too expensive since it's a component of cigarette smoke. next time you see someone smoking, don't scold him for making you breathe second-hand smoke. instead, read out into the smoke and grab all you can, for you might just grab the all-valuable benzene ring.

Anyway, on to the part about words. Now I've learnt a lesson in that i should not use abbreviations in my daily life. Observe the following dialogue between me and a friend when we were trying to catch up with each other's lives. of course I've added a bit of crap here and there so don't believe entirely.

me: So what you doing now

friend: I'm in RP now

me:!! You're one year older than me wat. I thought mine was the first batch to go through RP. How come you kope my pioneer status?

friend: Huh? What say you? I'm in Republic Polytechnic leh.

Me:(jacked)

See? This teaches you not to use abbreviations because you never know what other things they can stand for.
