Crazy people talk
A doctor of psychology was doing his normal morning rounds when he entered a patient's room. He found Patient #1 sitting on the floor, pretending to saw a piece of wood in half.

Patient #2 was hanging from the ceiling, by his feet.

The doctor asked patient number 1 what he was doing. The patient replied, "Can't you see I'm sawing this piece of wood in half?" The doctor inquired of Patient #1 what Patient #2 was doing. Patient #1 replied, "Oh. He's my friend, but he's a little crazy. He thinks he's a lightbulb." The doctor looks up and notices Patient #2's face is going all red.

The doctor asks Patient #1, "If he's your friend, you should get him down from there before he hurts himself"

Patient #1 replies, "What? And work in the dark?"

Boss wants too much
For thirty years, Johnson had arrived at work at 9A.M. on the dot. He had never missed a day and was never late.

Consequently, when on one particular day 9 A.M. passed without Johnson's arrival, it caused a sensation. All work ceased, and the boss himself, looking at his watch and muttering, came out into the corridor.

Finally, precisely at ten, Johnson showed up, clothes dusty and torn, his face scratched and bruised, his glasses bent. He limped painfully to the time clock, punched in, and said, aware that all eyes were upon him, "I tripped and rolled down two flights of stairs in the subway. Nearly killed myself."

And the boss said, "And to roll down two flights of stairs took you a whole hour?"

Want a day off work?
So you want a day off. Let's take a look at what you are asking for. There are 365 days per year available for work. There are 52 weeks per year in which you already have 2 days off per week, leaving 261 days available for work. Since you spend 16 hours each day away fron work, you have used up 170 days, leaving only 91 days available. You spend 30 minutes each day on coffee break which counts for 23 days each year, leaving only 68 days available. With a 1 hour lunch each day, you used up another 46 days, leaving only 22 days available for work. You normally spend 2 days per year on sick leave. This leaves you only 20 days per year available for work. We are off 5 holidays per year, so your available working time is down to 15 days. We generously give 14 days vacation per year which leaves only 1 day available for work and I'll be darned if you are going to take that day off!

B. Konsep Membentuk Kalimat Pasif
pada kalimat yang menggunakan to be, jika sudah memahami aturan penggunaan to be maka kita mampu dengan mudah membentuk kalimat pasif dari aktifnya.
Rumus :
S + V + O ……..(akrif)
S + to be + V3 + by … (pasif)

Keterangan :
Obyek pada kalimat aktif berubah menjadi pasif
Verb pasif diubah dalam bentuk : to be (is, am, are, was dan were) + verb3
Verb yang menggunakan modal pasifnya diubah dalam membentuk : Modal + be + V3
Contoh :
He wrote a letter. (aktif)
A letter was written by him. (pasif)

Tips :
- BIla ada kalimat pasif, selalu lihat dulu susunannya. Kalimat akan benar bila sudah menggunakan is/am/are atau was/were atau has/have dan V3.
- Bila unsur – unsure itu sudah ada, maka lihat faktanya, terjadi pada saat ini atau lampau : was,were dan had menunjukkan waktu lampau.

C. Kalimat Pasif Khusus : Menggunakan Require, Need dan Want.
Rumus :
Require/Need/ Want + Verb-ing /to be V3 >>> berarti “perlu di …”

Disini hanya ingin ditunjukkan bahwa kalimat pasif, mungkin saja tidak menggunakan Verb3, jika menggunakan kata Require, Need atau Want. Yaitu menggunakan Gerund. Sedangkan bila menggunakan V3 harus diawali dengan kata “to be” (bukan dalam artian is/am/are, namun dalam artian kata to be).

Penggunaan to be ini juga berlaku pada kata “Keterangan tujuan pasif".
Contoh :
The progress of this class needs to be evaluated.
He has’nt got enough experience to be promoted principal of our scholl.

Indiscriminate Sestina

Of all my favorite chocolate
desserts, I like the ones draped in caramel
with pieces of chopped pecans,
slathered in air filled marshmallow,
sprinkled with emerald coconut,
making a perfect Irish torte.

This is not a court tort, but a torte
made of the good dark chocolate
sometimes used in cookies, like coconut
macaroons, with dollops of caramel,
the edges filled in bits of pecans.

My favorite ice cream is praline…pecans
placed between layers of rich torte,
covered in ooey, gooey marshmallow,
drizzled with homemade caramel,
adding steaming hot milk chocolate
syrup, with fresh, shredded coconut.

I like cream pies of grated coconut,
but best of all, those made with sliced pecans,
a cardinal sin filling of caramel
on a butter and brown sugar crushed shell torte,
then, around the plate, stepping-stones of chocolate
dotted with daubs of melted marshmallow.

In a jar, a can, or bag…a marshmallow
leads me to make fancy coconut
S’mores, covered in Belgian chocolate,
lying on a bed of hand picked slivered pecans,
cradling a raspberry cream cheese torte,
topped with figure eights of warm caramel.

Should one eat the caramel,
then wallow in the marshmallow,
or perhaps fall into the raspberry torte
sprinkled with shaved coconut,
surrounded by deluxe pecans,
dipped in hot thick fudgie chocolate…

The caramel and the coconut will stick between one’s teeth.
The marshmallow with pecans could crack a crown in two.
The torte…covered in lucious Godiva chocolate…will finish you.

New York is a funny place.I was at the coffee shop last week, and I'm paying the cashier for my cup of coffee, and the other girl got sprayed by the espresso machine with the hot milk. And her shirt was burning her, and so she just ripped it off. But she forgot she has no bra on, and so she just ran in the back. And the cashier looks at me and goes, 'That'll be an extra two bucks.'

You give me a tree that can live off glass, cigarette butts and pebbles -- that's a real tree. No this 'I need sunshine' crap, no way. Our trees come up -- the branches are in the shape of middle fingers.

CAUSATIVE

2009-01-02T09:37:00.000-08:00

CAUSATIVE
HAVE & GET

Causative adalah kalimat yang digunakan untuk menyuruh orang lain untuk mengerjakan sesuatu. Bentuk suruhan ini ada dua macam, yaitu menggunakan bentuk “have(has/had) dan get (gets/got).

Tiga bentuk Causative menggunakan “Get” dan “Have”
1. Causative Menggunakan Get dengan obyek orang/manusia
Bentuk kalimat :
S + get(gets/got) + orang + to infinitive
Contoh :
Yesterday, he got the woman to wash the shirt.

2. Causative Menggunakan Have dengan Obyek orang/manusia
Bentuk kalimat :
S + have (has/had) + orang + Verb1
Contoh :
Yesterday, he had the woman wash the shirt.

3. Causative Menggunakan Get atau Have dengan Obyek Benda
Apabila have/get diikuti obyek pasif(benda), maka bentuk kalimat :
S + have /Get + benda + Verb3
Contoh :
I get my motorcycle repaired.

Catatan :
Bentuk Have dam get bisa berubah tenses menjadi had, will have, got dan sebagainya, tanpa mengubah verb(kata kerja) yang mengikutinya.
Hal yang pertama dilihat dari Causative adalah obyek yang mengikuti have/get. Jika obyek yang mengikuti adalah benda, maka bisa dipastikan Verb nya ada pada bentuk ketiga (V3). Sedangkan jika orang/manusia maka tergantung yang digunakan, jika Get pasti menggunakan to infinitive kalau Have menggunakan Verb1
