Oh No , not another one . Psych professor and students.

John from East Invercargill

Psych professor on his first class lecture, wants to break the ice, and is lecturing his students about his thesis on human conditioning response.
He outlines 3 typical steps of emotional response:
1. Surprise
2. Annoyance
3. Anger.
Seeing his students dumbfounded he offers to demonstrate it.
He picks up a burner phone and ask students for randomly chosen phone number. He then prank calls a stranger, puts the phone next to microphone.
Professor: Hello! Can I talk to Johnny?
Stranger: Who is this? There is no one by this name.
Professor: hangs the phone. class, you just witnessed ,
1. Surprise emotion.
Professor: Calls back the same number. Can I talk to Johnny?
Stranger: Why are you calling me again? I told you, no one here by the name of Johnny. Who are you?
Professor: hangs up the phone, this was
2. Annoyance
The Professor tells his students " here comes No 3 , Anger.
He calls back the same number again. "Can I talk to Johnny?
Stranger: Hey you SOB, what is your address,
I’ll show you a Johnny $&@! ##@&&
The classroom seems to be entertained by the prank call, starts to applaud professor on their first impressions.
Suddenly there is a hand raised by one of the students.
Student: I read your thesis professor . I found that there is 4th emotional response called “Confusion”.
He goes to the mic, takes his phone and dials the same stranger: the classroom turns quiet.
Student: Hello, “This is Johnny. Any messages?”

Seeing as we may get a little more freedom , probably after the week end I might as well punish you all with this one.

An American, a Frenchman, a Hong-Konger, and a Chinese man found themselves all in a train carriage. Conversation was awkward and stilted, until the Frenchman thought he would take the opportunity to show off a little to his fellow passengers.
Opening his suitcase, he takes out a fresh bottle of champagne, and pours himself a flute of it. After making a great show of enjoying his sparkling wine, he opens the window and throws everything out! His fellow passengers are obviously surprised. The Frenchman leans back in his seat smugly. “There is more of that where I come from!”
After some thought, the American whips out a cigar and a lighter. However, instead of lighting the cigar directly, he takes out a $100 note and lights that first. After he gets the cigar lighted to his satisfaction, he tosses the burning note out the window as well. He leans back, puffing his cigar contentedly. “There is more of that where I come from!”
Not to be outdone, the Hong-Konger leaps up… and throws the Chinese man out the window.

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
