TDU sir,

Thank you for giving us all the ideas in case I ever need it I can use them may be.

TDU Sir - Very witty answers!

Very nice answers, TDU. I also liked the explanation to SLEEP.
When I was caught sleeping, of course not in the office but in the house, I used to say that 'I didn't sleep, just keeping my eyes shut'. How is that?

Hi TDU,

I think I shoud hand a print of this thread to all the 60+ retainers of our organizations who snore to glory...... But anyways, nobody questions them............... We cannot think about it in a MNC... the door is open for such activities.............

Good ideas.......
