We all read a lot of threads every day, and sometimes come across a post that tickles our funny bone.

Some are particularly outstanding.

Here is one that cracked me up today.

Which posts have you seen that you deem worthy of this award?

What does opprobium mean?

Famous black chat show hosts backside !!!

I got it tho i am sure alot will have to ponder upon it!!

What does opprobium mean?

I swallowed a dictionary....State of being criticized severely for wrong one has done

Hmmmmm....thoughtful..I like the explanation from Suiging better tho

I nominate Sriracha John for this gem in the Samak looks like a pig thread

He's 72 actually, which in pig years is only a deceptively youthful 8 years old.... he's but a mere child.

Some funny ones there alright!

While perhaps a little on the negative side, this post demonstrated a lot of wisdom to me.

Thailand

I had to bow out of this exchange of one-up-man-ship and thus defer to the superior ovenman.

Has Thai Immigration Gotten Stricter Or Is This Airline Hype?

A friend reported that on Tuesday afternoon there was mass confusion at Swampypoon Immigration desks as the immi officers were asking for the proof of booking a trip out of the country, and accommodation booking for all 30 day visitors. Much angst and confusion for some.

IF people think that is something new.... just wait.

Airport Immigration Counter Conversation (March 2008):

"Ok, sir, we see you have your confirmed onward ticket with you and the pre-paid hotel reservation confirmation for the 3 weeks you'll be in Thailand, so that's all sorted, but your check-in binder doesn't contain the certified copy of your pre-paid car rental agreement. Just how were you planning to get around during your stay? I am sad to also say the folder lacks the required credit card pre-approved verification for the restaurant meals you'll be consuming during your stay here in the Land of Smiles; outside the free ABF your hotel reservation covers you for, of course."

You forgot to mention needing a Tor-Por-Sor-403 form for every province you intend to visit during your stay in Thailand, duly signed by the governor of that province.

Yes, sometimes the binder is so full you can easily overlook that one, but don't forget also.... you need 3 notarized copies of the

Governor-approved-Tor-Por-Sor-403.

That was last week. Now they want four copies of the Tor-Por-Sor-403 along with a passport-sized photo of each Governor.

While perhaps a little on the negative side, this post demonstrated a lot of wisdom to me.

Thailand

Some food for thought there for sure - I'll bet many, if not most, of us have considered a similar path at times. I have always (so far) decided that on balance the grass is a nice enough shade of green here in the LoS. However, the new administration has a lot of potential to change a many expats' enthusiasm for the place.

We'll just have to wait and see, it's not over yet!

Briggsy mate I think if tried to use a potty in my car it's look like a cruise missile strike on Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory.
