# 2: Crocodile Dew Glycerine

Have you ever written/had the pressing urge to write melodramatic and highly emotionally charged (and grammatically haywire) mails like this (marked to the world) for every trivial issue?

“I think he can't be a fit person handling abc It is matter of pure common sense I am frustrated and upset - am not in a position to write further. I am not blaming any one personally, but now it is a high time to give it a serious thought”

Then Crocodile dew glycerin is JUST the nifty accessory for you.

Crocodile Dew is made from the extract of the finest glycerides, for that absolutely translucence and odour free consistency. It goes through a five stage process to ensure the most distilled and refined pure glycerine with 80% hygroscopic properties – thus ensuring that that it looks and feels even more real than actual tears can ever hope to. This is why it’s been the preferred brand of all our cine – stars down the ages, right from Meena Kumari to Alok Nath.

Tears on tap – anytime, anywhere!


Special limited offer: Crocodile Tissue pack free on the purchase of two packs of Crocodile Dew Glycerine

To everything (turn, turn, turn)
There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
And a time for every purpose, under heaven

Isn’t that JUST what one feels in the corporate world? A season to say yes, and to change it to no. That is the genesis and the philosophy behind Spinners Turn Coat.

Hope you think of a mask which can mask all emotions when talking to the boss. Oh Wait! I guess I can just use the Joker mask from the roadside stall for that :)

Lekhini - hmmmm. That is the mint flavored hot air recharge station speciality!!!


captain obvious- cynical? noooo! :O. Whatever gave you that impression?

anu - heheh effect of a lousy workplace.

arvind - thank you

silverline - but would you be able to peel the skin off the politicians is the question. Indian politicians are not known to part with any of their property very easily no?

K.C. said...

My first time here. So funny. Where is your imagination coming from. Love it and I needed a laugh. Great! KC

Cynic in Wonderland said...

Epiphany – Sukhi raho balak. do you know any mba colleges which will hire me? All this knowledge I have picked up. Such a waste if I don’t use it constructively na?

Ideasmithy – aapke liye to CHAR tissues free!

Siri – allo allo. Thank you very much. Why do you want to mask emotions from the boss though? I cant say stuff verbally so I use my face instead hehe.

Amit. I am thinking of writing a book now. Damn. I need a new job

Naren – thankee. Where have u disappeared to?

Kraz- useless disappearing feller. Of course I looked it up. Do you think they have managed to jargonify me? Bah. Pictures are cute no. No one commented on any of them sigh. Plectrum ishtyle is those tiny upside down triangular thingies which some hip blokes don. Where you look at the face and think is that a inkspot I see there? Is it a shadow? Oh no, it’s a beard!

A to you too.

KC - too much annoyance at work results in this!

Artful Badger said...

quite amusing :)

Well for one, I dont want to get chucked out until I have another one in hand. Being a boss sensitizes one to facial contortions :).
