KoSong: Some classified advertisements which tickled me

How should we judge a government?

In Malaysia, if you don't watch television or read newspapers, you are uninformed; but if you do, you are misinformed!

"If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." - Malcolm X

Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience - Mark Twain

Why we should be against censorship in a court of law: Publicity is the very soul of justice … it keeps the judge himself, while trying, under trial. - Jeremy Bentham

"Our government is like a baby's alimentary canal, with a happy appetite at one end and no

responsibility at the other. " - Ronald Reagan

Some classified advertisements which tickled me

"BMW 735i 2004/2008 push start..." in the old days 'push start' meant having to push a car (having a weak battery) with someone in the driving position controlling the clutch and throttle and the ignition on, hoping to get it started.

"BMW Z3 Cabrio '98 expert owner..." do we need an expert to be car owner or having an expert owner is supposed to be a plus point?

Saw a full page colour advertisement of Vauxhall Agila in a foreign magazine with a sign (in place of the number plate) Agila Design! Not sure if others in Malaysia reading it would feel the same but it sure sounds like 'A gila Design' which in English/Malay (which is common here) means 'A mad design'!
