Being in a bank we

Being in a bank we often get lists of rules and regulations we need to follow. This one came from our legal department, detailing what personal events you need to notify the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) in HK about:

Any changes to the following personal “basic information” that you provided to the SFC when applying for your license:
 Title and full personal name and surname in Chinese and English;
 Gender;
 Chinese commercial code and the number on your HK identity card or (if no HK identity card held) the number, name of the issuing agency and the date of expiry of your passport;
 Nationality;
 Business, residential and correspondence address; and
 Contact telephone and facsimile numbers and electronic mail address.

Did you spot it too? Gender. They want to know if you change your gender. As if the trip to Stockholm for the operation wasn't enough.

Some other funnies courtesy of Dilbert. These are to say to those who only listen to the first half of what you say:


"You're not out of shape... because technically a circle is a shape."

"My respect for you knows no bounds... on the low end."

"I can tell that you're a renaissance man... and by that I mean a sissy."

Finally this:

A noted Czech orchestral composer has revealed a secret to his success: the ability to hear mushrooms sing.

I wonder if eating them also plays a part in his composing?
