I was asked by a shipping agent, who was working for a restaurant chain, to travel all over Europe collecting consignments of sugar, eggs, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk and vanilla. When he had finished giving me the routing instructions I said, "I love it when a flan comes together".

A transport manager told me recently of an annual appraisal interview with a driver on his fleet.  Having been on a management course, and therefore in keeping with modern methods and managerial philosophy, the manager asked the driver if he was able to show something of his feminine side.  The driver thought for a moment and said, "If I don`t get what I want, your life is going to be f...... hell".
