Surdité sélective: un exemple concrait

July 4th, 2009 | No Comments | Posted in Just for fun

Ladies still wondering why you and your partner can’t communicate on the same frequency ? That will explain it !

L’ouïe sélective est un syndrome ontologique très répandu chez l’homme, et il demeure souvent méconnu auprès des femmes.

Par exemple, quand une femme dit :
« Écoute un peu !
Ce n’est pas possible ce bordel !
Toi et moi, on va nettoyer tout ça ensemble.
Regarde, toutes tes fringues traînent par terre et si on ne fait pas une lessive immédiatement, tu vas devoir te balader à poil.
Tu me donnes un coup de main maintenant et quand je dis ça, je veux dire là tout de suite ! »
L’homme entend :
« Blablablabla……….. *Écoute un peu*
Blablablabla……….. *Toi et moi*
Blablablabla……….. *Ensemble*
Blablablabla……… *Par terre*
Blablablabla……… *A poil*
Blablablabla……… *Maintenant*
Blablablabla……… *Là tout de suite !* »
A ce jour aucune thérapie ne semble pouvoir soigner efficacement cette faiblesse auditive.
De toute évidence les hommes concentrent leur attention sur l’essentiel uniquement.

Operation Bouchons Roulants

July 1st, 2009 | No Comments | Posted in Random

It has been quite a while I haven’t published anything on ShiFeshil but I have just received this email and I think it would be really nice if we can all mobilize and help with this.

It is really easy to do doesn’t cost us anything and could help people in need.

Read below for more info and thank you for your links/action/emails

« Bouchons roulants », un projet d’Arcenciel

Dans le cadre du programme environnement, Arcenciel présente son nouveau projet : « Bouchons roulants ». Ce projet a pour but de rendre un sourire en offrant 100 chaises roulantes à 100 personnes handicapées.

Comment? La recette est simple : il suffit que chacun de nous (groupe ou individuel) collecte dans des sacs des bouchons en plastique. À chaque fois que l’occasion se présentera, il faut nous envoyer au centre Arcenciel à Jisr el Wati ou au centre Arcenciel à Jisr el-Bacha, les sacs de bouchons, tous les jeudis et les vendredis entre 9h00 et 16h00.
Quels bouchons faut-il collecter ?

1- Les bouchons alimentaires (eau, lait, soda…).

2- Les couvercles en plastique (café soluble, pâte à tartiner, poudre chocolatée…).

3- Les bouchons de produits ménagers à l’exception des sprays comportant un ressort métallique (produit vaisselle, eau de javel…).

4- Les bouchons de produits d’hygiène (dentifrice, shampooing, gel douche…).

Sachant que : 1 tonne de bouchons = 500.000 bouchons = 1ère chaise roulante = 1sourire. 100 chaises roulantes = 50.000.000 de bouchons.

Nous comptons sur votre fidélité, votre engagement et votre solidarité pour rendre service aux personnes en difficulté tout en préservant l’environnement et surtout pour nous aider à atteindre notre objectif : 100 CHAISES = 100 SOURIRES !!!

Savez-vous qu’en récupérant des bouchons en plastique, vous pouvez faire trois choses à la fois ?

1- Offrir à une personne handicapée une chaise roulante.

2- Protéger l’environnement.

3- Booster l’économie.

Did you know: The Wizard of OZ

November 23rd, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Did you know


Just in case you haven’t watched the film here is a quick excerpt from teachwithmovies.org

The Wizard of Oz (1939) is a classic musical, beloved by children and their parents for generations. The film is perennially popular because it teaches several basic values and deals with many of the issues and fears that children ages 5 - 12 must confront as they mature: what happens if I can’t find my home, what happens if the adults who protect me are powerless against some outside force (Mrs. Gulch, the tornado), etc.

Now back to the question: Do you have any idea where does the name “OZ” comes from in the famous movie “The Wizard of OZ” ?

It’s writer “Frank Baum” named the magic world “OZ” after the alphabetical letters O - Z on the bottom drawer of his file cabinet.

So did you know that one ?

October 25th, 2008 | 1 Comment | Posted in Best of Ads

I haven’t posted since June 1st and the last post was a Honda ad. And today Honda brings me back to posting with another great ad.

Of course some people might think it is useless and a total waste of money but, for me, it is a piece of art.
