Let me tell you a story about 13-month bonus......

Why there is a 13-month bonus when it is really isn't a bonus? The
mystery is finally revealed! When the British were in Singapore, they
were being paid weekly & they argued that Singaporeans were actually
being cheated into believing that the 13th month pay is a bonus.

Singaporeans are being paid monthly which is equivalent to 4 weeks pay
coz there are 4 weeks in a month. As the British were paid weekly, it
worked out to the same. You see, there are 7 days in a week. 4 weeks
in
a month. 12 months in a year. Then 12 months should work out to 48
weeks
only.

But 1 year actually has 52 weeks!!! Hence the 13th month is your own
pay
not bonus??!!). So, the British argued that there is in fact no bonus
at
all??? It is a very simple calculation that stunned many!!!!

BONUS??? What bonus??? .
Now you understand ?? Hmmmm....... ...

saint73,

On the basis of your English spelling and grammar, I would say that I've still got a lot more on the ball at almost 60 than you have at what would appear to be 14. Especially seeing that you apparently have no idea what emoticons are and how they are supposed to be used.
