Two men were boasting to each other about their old army days.
"Why, my outfit was so well drilled," declared one, "that when they presented arms all you could hear was slap, slap, click."
"Very good," conceded the other, "but when my company presented arms you'd just hear slap, slap, jingle."
"What was the jingle?" asked the first. "Oh," replied the other offhand, "just our medals."
This speaks a lot about the Japanese quality standards and also cultural misunderstandings.
They're still laughing about this at IBM. Apparently the computer giant decided to have some parts manufactured in Japan as a trial project. In the specifications, they set out that they will accept three defective parts per 10,000 .
When the delivery came in there was an accompanying letter. "We, Japanese people, had a hard time understanding North American business practices. But the three defective parts per 10,000 have been separately manufactured and have been included in the consignment.

As a muslim, it is my duty to examine everything I hear about anything thoroughly before believing it or not. Do you do this, or do you believe what you are told? What does this say to you?
"Islam urges all people to examine an issue thoroughly before coming to a conclusion or forming a belief. Allah says in the Holy Quran:
O believers: if a wicked person comes to you with any news, ascertain the truth, lest ye harm people unwittingly and afterwards become full of repentance for what ye have done. T.Q., Sura 49, verse 6."

An elderly man in Florida had owned a large farm for several years.
He had a large pond in the back, fixed up nice with
picnic tables, horseshoe courts, a volleyball court,
and some apple and peach trees.
The pond was properly shaped and fixed up for swimming.
One evening the old farmer decided to go down to the pond
and look it over, as he hadn't been there for a while.
He grabbed a five gallon bucket to bring back some fruit.
As he neared the pond, he heard voices shouting and laughing with glee.
As he came closer, he saw it was a bunch of young women skinny-dipping
in his pond.
He made the women aware of his presence and they all went to the deep end.
One of the women shouted to him, "We're not coming out until you leave!"
The old man frowned. He said, "I didn't come down here to watch you ladies swim naked or make you get out of the pond naked.”
Holding the bucket up, he said, "I'm just here to feed the alligator."
Old men can still think fast.
