JOKE CORNER
Today's word is.................. Fluctuations
I will never hear or see this word again without thinking of this.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was at my bank today; there was a short line.
There was just one lady in front of me, an Asian lady who was
trying to exchange yen for dollars.
It was obvious she was a little irritated ... . She asked the
teller, "Why it change? Yesterday, I get two hunat dolla fo yen.
Today I only get hunat eighty? Why it change?"
The teller shrugged his shoulders and said, "Fluctuations."
taken aback for only a second,
The Asian lady says, "Fluc you white people too"
Medical Distinction between Guts and Balls
There is a medical distinction between Guts and Balls. We've all heard about people having Guts or Balls. But do you
really know the difference between them?
In an effort to keep you informed, here are the definitions:
GUTS - Is arriving home late after a night out with the guys, being met by your partner with a broom, and having the
Guts to ask: "Are you still cleaning, or are you flying somewhere?"
BALLS - Is coming home late after a night out with the guys, smelling of perfume and beer, lipstick on your collar,
slapping your partner on the butt and having the Balls to say: "You're next, Chubby."
I hope this clears up any confusion on the definitions.
Medically speaking there is no difference in the outcome.
Both result in death.

QUICKLEEN
FAQ’S
Q. Because Quickleen does not dissolve completely in water, does it affect household waste pipes?
There was a major problem with Jiff a few years ago where it was clogging the pipes up, because it also didn’t dissolve
in water.
A. No problems with Quickleen in pipes or in septic tanks. Jiff was a problem because they used calcium carbonate as an
abrasive and when it gets wet, it clumps and will
not “flow” with the water in the pipes. Quickleen flows well in water and the “surge” that occurs when a toilet flushes
etc. It tends to move it very well. The antibacterial properties in Quickleen dissipate when diluted with normal volumes
of water flushed to the tank, so the bugs remain unaffected.
Q. How do you dispose of the Quickleen-R solution once it has been used?
A. There is a blurred line between what is domestic and what is industrial waste. Quickleen-R can be treated exactly the
same as an auto dishwashing liquid or powder. That is, the spent solution from a dishwasher (domestic or commercial
machine) is permitted to go down the drain as waste without complicated waste agreements. The solution is fine for
any sewerage treatment plant.
When you change the source to a commercial filter cleaning system, then the waste must be treated and disposed of to
a sewer in accordance with any trade waste agreement that the premises may have, even if the volume is the same as
the commercial/domestic situation. Commercial premises washing their canopy filters on site (in a sink or tub) can
dispose of the solution into the sewer. Quickleen-R spent solutions are ok for disposal to sewer provided the operation
is small commercial or domestic. If industrial, the waste can still be disposed of to a sewer, but need to comply with any
discharge license agreement.
Quickleen-R is compatible with all waste treatment (sewerage) plants, and will not affect any type of pipe work or
fittings
Q. Why, if your product is so environmentally acceptable, can’t I just dispose of it to the environment?
DTI Newsletter
A. In almost every country, discharge of material to the environment is illegal. In Australia, if you are caught washing your
car and allowing the run off to go to storm water, you can be fined for polluting. It is even illegal for us to put storm
water down the sewer. Also, you need to look at the bigger picture. Not just for disposal, but also the energy and
resources used to make, use and dispose of this product. Disposal is not the only impact on the environment. With
detergents, nearly every detergent on earth (including most naturally occurring ones like tannins and lignin’s) has a
negative effect on the ability of fish to extract oxygen from water. The wetting action of the detergent causes the
water to flow through fish gills without oxygen being removed. This is an effective way of inland fishing in the early
days. It would be unusual to find a MSDS that says a product has no effect on fish.
Quickleen-S is environmentally more acceptable than MOST cleaning chemicals, it still can cause some problems if
misused. It is very biodegradable and becomes a natural part of the environment very quickly. This is the aim of the
governments to encourage manufacturers to produce products that work well, then break down quickly to minimise
pollution.
In summary Quickleen-S cleans more efficiently on a kg for kg basis than most other products, uses fewer resources to
clean (eg: water), absorbs more soils that other detergents, cleans up faster and easier, is easily disposed of
(lower volume of waste per cleaning job) and does not impose a high load on the environment as do
detergents (lower BOD, COD)
All these facts clearly show that it is a more environmentally acceptable product to use than normal detergents or cleaning
products

Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846.
John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.
Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860.
John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960.
Both were particularly concerned with civil rights.
Both wives lost their children while living in the White House.
Both Presidents were shot on a Friday.
Both Presidents were shot in the head
Now it gets really weird.
Lincoln ' s secretary was named Kennedy.
Kennedy ' s Secretary was named Lincoln .
Both were assassinated by Southerners.
Both were succeeded by Southerners named Johnson.

Page 8 of 10 DTI Newsletter
Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln , was born in 1808.
Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908.
John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln , was born in 1839.
Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939.
Both assassins were known by their three names.
Both names are composed of fifteen letters.
Now hang on to your seat.
Lincoln was shot at the theater named ' Ford. '
Kennedy was shot in a car called ' Lincoln ' made by ' Ford. '
Lincoln was shot in a theater and his assassin ran and hid in a
warehouse.
Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and his assassin ran and
hid in a theater.
Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials.
And here ' s the kicker...
A week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe , Maryland
A week before Kennedy was shot, he was with Marilyn Monroe.
Creepy huh

DIRECTORS BLOG
HOW D.T.I MAINTAIN GREAT STAFF
DRESS CODE
It is advised that you come to work dressed according to your salary. If we see you
wearing $350 Prada Sneakers & carrying a $600 Gucci Bag, we assume you are doing
well financially & therefore you do not need a raise. If you dress poorly, you need to
manage your money better, so that you may buy nicer clothes, & therefore you do not
need a raise. If you dress somewhere in-between, you are right where you need to be &
therefore you do not need a raise.
SICK DAYS
We will no longer accept a doctor’s statement as proof of sickness. If you are able to
go to the doctor, you are able to come to work.
PERSONAL DAYS
Each employee will receive 104 personal days a year. They are called Saturday &
Sunday.
BEREAVEMENT LEAVE
This is no excuse for missing work. There is nothing you can do for dead friends,
relatives or co-workers. Every effort should be made to have non-employees attend to
the arrangements. In rare cases where employee involvement is necessary, the funeral
should be sheduled in the late afternoon. We eill be glad to allow you to work through
your lunch hour & subsequently leave one hour early.
RESTROOM USE
Entirely too much time is being spent in the restroom. There is now a strict 3 minute
time limit in the stalls. At the end of three minutes, an alarm will sound, the toilet
paper roll will retract, the stall door will open & a picture will be taken. After your
second offense, your picture will be posted on the company bulletin board under the
“Chronic Offenders” category.
LUNCH BREAK
Skinny people get 30 minutes for lunch as they need to eat more, so that they can look
healthy. Normal size people get 15 minutes for lunch to get a balanced meal to
maintain their average figure. Fat people get 5 minutes for lunch, because that’s all
the time needed to drink a Slim Fast.
THANK YOU
Thank you for your loyalty to our company. We are here to provide a positive
employment experience. Therefore, all questions, comments, concerns, complaints,
frustrations, irritations, affravations, insinuations, allegations, accusations,
contemplations, consternations, and input should be directed elsewhere.
Have a nice week!
