cup half empty or half fool?


Ah! the wondrous institution of marriage. Sacredly ordained and blessed with elaborate rituals since time immemorial. None quite so fitting as the "bachelors party". How better to embark on a life long (read the fine print on this one if you are marrying a celeb') journey and partnership, than to guzzle down liters of booze, clumsily grope at a semi clad lady covered in icing, and display a puke covered set of Y fronts to your prospective father-in-law. Good times.

Tonight i, like many others of my ilk, took part in the ritual, but with a few slight adjustments. One- the soberest participant turned out to be the groom. Two - there was no oversized cake forthcoming, never mind the awaited professional within and thirdly, there was a decided lack of degradation. In fact the groom maintained his somber yet cheerful disposition throughout the night. There where a few threats of tarring and feathering and some of the revelers enjoyed cider via a funnel and tube. Nevertheless all was calm on the front. As an admirer of the morbid, this would have been a let down had i not been expecting the night to be tame.

With this in mind therefore i would like to pose the following equation
satisfaction = perception(Actuality/Expectation) where the greater the variance between expectation and the actuality, the greater the cause for upset.

Long Jin green tea = crap. you will not be disappointed by this tea, because it is not in our stable, at www.teabox.co.za, nor will you shell out hard earned dineros at www.cafesakura.com for this tea as it will not be offered their in the foreseeable future
