想不到, 保險行業跟人道工作竟然有接合之處...

Quoted from Reuters (ADDIS ABABA, March 6)

The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) said on Monday it had signed a deal with AXA RE to cover for drought in Ethiopia, the world's first insurance contract for humanitarian emergencies.

Under the contract, AXA will pay out $7 million in contingency funding if extreme drought wrecks Ethiopia's harvest in the 2006. The money will be used to aid up to 17 million poor Ethiopian farmers should an extreme drought arise.

AXA RE CEO Hans-Peter Gerhardt said the deal was the first time a financial institution had taken on risk for protecting people in poor countries against the consequences of drought.

The statement said payment will be triggered when rainfall over the March-October 2006 period is significantly below historic averages, signalling likely crop failure.

昨日，在地鐡站看見一個男人為他的女朋友摺褲腳。

明知是有點偏激，但心裡還是立時駡了他一句「犯賤」。

回心一想，如果蹲下來摺褲腳的是女的，我想我還是會駡男的「賤格」。

唉，香港女人的特權也。 不論扮演強者或是弱者，女人好像永遠都是對的一方。

女人氣勢凌人，把男人都迫到牆角去。 其實，香港的一衆「無能男」，某程度上是否女人自己一手養成的呢?

好一條兩頭蛇!

eBay US$150,000 有售... :P

兩頭蛇個洋名叫"We"呢。
