Drop that defence shield

Update : 

Am sticking to my guns and firing the first shot back . Have just contacted the customer careline to file in a complaint . The manager will be alerted on the matter . Hopefully this harassment stops . If it doesn't I will start taking their pictures and post it up here .

Was at the hypermart just now . Wanted to get some sardines and white bread to make sardine sandwiches .

Something I picked up in my teens after asking the enthusiastic Celeste for tips on how to make it like the one she brought to pot luck .

( Ya ...dis iz mahkehreil , I know , still ai like to call eeet sahrdeens )

Stress ball stars

Tried squeezing these but I

just could not get past the count of 5.

Seeing my pathetic excuse of an effort,  the resident show off , demonstrated how he could work them 23 times without breaking a sweat .

Sheesh....have I got some catching up to do.

Smoke magnet

Problem's been bugging me for quite some time now.

Somehow or other, I seem to have an inbuilt signal which draws smokers towards me. Can be talking face to face to Mr Meek, Short and Skinny , when all of a sudden, he gets the inspiration to whip out his Malboro.

The more annoyed I look, the harder they'll suck.
Most times I move, to the next table. Still doesn't work.
They WILL find me.

Have tried coughing. Loudly. Desperately.

My reward ? That corner of the eye look which makes me wanna snip it off their lips. Or douse them. With a Bomba hose.

Frustrated I query the ex smoker.
