多次被轉船的網路文內的"台灣人"都曾經被"大陸人""立委"等等有利人物替代過，商人到處有。

看完這個笑話，你就會知道台灣人包工程的能力了~~XD 很寫實的笑話啊~ 但個人意見是: 把台灣人改成國民黨財團更中肯啊~~~ --- 1、天堂的門壞了，上帝要招標重修。 印度人說：3000弄好，理由是材料費1000，人工費1000，我自己賺1000。 德國人說：要6000，材料費2000，人工2000，自己賺2000。 台灣人淡定地說：這個要9000，3000給你，3000我的，剩下3000給那個印度人做。 上帝拍案：臺灣人得標！ 2、後來地獄的門也壞了，閻王吸取了上帝的教訓，下了一個3000的定價。 德國人看了一眼，走了。 印度人報價3000。 台灣人給了評標的小鬼500，報價3000，又得標了。 德國人、印度人很納悶。之後，台灣人花了500材料，500人工，修了一半宣布停工。拖了半年，閻王被逼追加投資3000，完工。 3、再後來天堂連接地獄的電梯壞了，也要重修。經過前面兩次教訓後，控制定價3000而且規定要一次性修好。 德國人又來，看了一下走了。 印度人報價3000。 台灣人也報價3000，並稱完工後有茅台送，又得標了。 拿到錢後台灣人開工。材料500，人工500。完工後，上帝叫人驗收。事先收了台灣人紅包500的驗收員聲稱「合格」。 不久又壞了，安監、質檢（都收了錢）等部門說超載所致，要重建。上帝被逼追加資金9000重建！ 4、再再後來，通往人間的大門也壞了，死的上不來，投胎的下不去，上帝與閻王都著急。問題很嚴重。 經過前幾次的教訓之後，天國嚴格定價3000，監理、審計現場跟踪！並且免費保修1億年。 德國人被嚇跑了。 印度人報價3000。 台灣人來了，報無償修理，且免費保修2億年，但要1億年的管理權，上帝和閻王都同意了，台灣人又得標。 台灣人修好了門後，在門口設了個收費站，死了要上天堂的收500，下去投胎每人每次500，不但雙向收費，而且給500的投到歐洲，給1000的投胎到美國，逃費的一律投到中國。 上帝和閻王無語，徹底崩潰，台灣人完勝。

快樂比任何學問都難

 陳文茜：快樂比任何學問都難

朋友傳來一段不知出處的對話，道盡多數人性之荒謬：

弟子問老師：「您能談談人類的奇怪之處嗎？」老師答道：「他們急於成長，然後又哀嘆失去的童年；他們以健康換取金錢，不久後又想用金錢恢復健康。他們對未來焦慮不已，卻又無視現在的幸福。因此，他們既不活在當下，也不活在未來。他們活著仿佛自己從來不會死亡；直至臨死前，卻又仿佛從未活過。」

人，而且多數人皆活在上述狀態，所謂「生命」簡直成了「無意義之氣球」，在荒謬稀薄的空氣中，任意飄浮；直至死亡之日，氣球落下。

人生許多終極核心的難題是:「無論在任何狀態下，人始終不快樂。」

人貧困的時候不快樂；富裕的時候也不快樂。有工作的時候不快樂，失業當然不快樂。健康的時候不快樂，生病的時候更不快樂。

自小我們學習許多課程，學數學「1+1=2」「9-5=4」，但我們沒有學過人生何時該加、何時該減才會快樂；我們學英文、學歷史、學地理、學化學、甚至天文學…宇宙大爆炸，在某個點上、創造了生命，偶然創造了我們。但人如何快樂？所有我們學習的「課本」，都少了這門課。

人有許多天性，快樂、慾望、恐懼、嫉妒、自戀、愛、恨…當我們把這些天性列成一張表格時，赫然發現快樂在人的本性中，佔的比例非常少。如何在各種狀態中極大化「快樂」，絕非理所當然，它是一場萃取的物理，質變的化學，相對的數學，智慧的藝術，以及博而深奧的歷史學。

「快樂」比任何學問都難。

賈伯斯一生未曾快樂；直至面對死亡。當死神逼近時，他珍惜家人，和從不承認的私生女和解，戮力iPhone、iPad移動時代的創造。那一刻，他的親生父母為何遺棄他，他創辦的公司為何開除他…一點都不重要了。他珍惜還擁有的，死神的腳步步步逼近，他一天比一天體會快樂的價值。

他放下了一切「怨與恨」，找到自己的價值。賈伯斯不只是名天才，他永遠改造了人類歷史，進入移動時代；但很長很長的時間裡，這位「天才」沒有能力從自己的創傷中移動，找到快樂。

因此聰明的人，在「快樂」這門功課上仍可能得零分。事實上我們的家庭教育和「社會」大學，拼命地教人如何盤算、如何奪取、如何自我保護…所有該教人「快樂」方法不教，反而教的儘是慫恿人憤怒、憂鬱、沮喪的「本事」。

2010年荷蘭好聲音冠軍得主 Martin Hurkens，他在得獎之後走到街頭演唱「You Raise Me Up」，其影片在Youtube上已數億人觀看。他原是一名麵包師傅，擁有荷蘭一家麵包店的部份股權。金融危機後，麵包店撐不下去，賣給了連鎖商家，他失業了。整整兩年，遊蕩街頭，尋找工作，包括遠赴巴黎。

他的女兒知道父親除了做麵包，還唱了一口好嗓音；2010年為他偷偷報名「荷蘭好聲音」。一位55歲的老頭站上舞台，高唱「公主徹夜未眠」，贏得冠軍寶座。接下來電視台及舞台劇邀約不斷，Martin沒有選擇立刻出名賺錢的「本能」慾望；他選擇了「街頭」演唱，唱起祕密花園(Secret Garden)的歌曲「You Raise Me Up」。

「每當我心情低落，噢，我的靈魂如此疲憊；當麻煩接踵而至，我的內心沉重不安，然後，我在寂靜中沉默等待，直到你出現，坐於我身旁。你鼓舞了我，…所以，我能站在群山之巔，你鼓舞了我，使我能遊走驚濤駭浪…因為你的鼓舞，我超越了自己。」

Martin選擇的街頭，那正是他失業潦倒、痛苦匱乏的時最熟悉的角落。2015年2月底他受邀至高雄「草地音樂節」，「文茜的世界周報」訪問了他，「記得那天下著雨，我鼓起勇氣走到街上，沒有人認出我，甚至沒有人注意到我，我決定站在那熟悉的街口唱:你鼓舞了我」。

Martin知道，街頭總有許多飄零的心。他選擇了一個讓別人快樂，然後自己感覺有意義的方式回答他剛剛獲得的「好聲音冠軍」寶座。排除計算、慾望、不急於成名後，他反而成了全球最令人感佩的歌者。

訪問他時，Martin當然是快樂的。而他的快樂來自於與世俗教導相反的選擇。

什麼是快樂？快樂的定義可能很簡單，「今天的你比昨日的你慈悲、感恩。」貧窮的人，可以因家人還相聚快樂；因自己還健康快樂。即使面臨死亡，回憶一生曾擁有的美好時光，那怕只是片段，也可含笑而去。」

近日我為自己搭建了一堂「快樂學校」，我的手機上是一張敘利亞四歲兒童照片，2014年12月一名土耳其攝影記者薩厄爾在難民營看到女孩可愛的臉龐，拿起照相機以長鏡頭對準拍她，她以為「相機」是「武器」，看到攝影師「瞄準」自己，小女孩嚇地立刻高舉雙手投降。

晨起，打開手機，看著「投降女孩」的照片，我告訴自己，「人生是一齣短暫的美夢」，別讓它虛度，我們都有幸，不活在戰亂的國度。「人生無常，請珍惜平常」。

難得空閒，準備周末「世界周報」工作之餘，將二個月前購置的廚餘機內放家中的剩餘食物、壞葉子，打成的有機肥料；一一放置花園及盆景中。看到「五彩茉莉」比往年盛開，天竺葵、玫瑰花朵燦爛，狗孩子陽台上曬太陽，所謂夢想的「山居歲月」，就在當下。聽著「風流寡婦」，頭髮都飛揚愉悅。

我們最終都要遠行，好好習得人生減法，早日懂得「快樂」這門課。永遠相信明天的朝陽，會有新的音符。和未來乾一杯吧!

A-型肝炎, 禍首竟然是................青蔥

A-型肝炎, 禍首竟然是................青蔥(Q and A on Hepatitis A Outbreaks ...with Eating Raw or Undercooked Green Onions(Scallions)

 

A-型肝炎, 禍首竟然是................青蔥

 

從來沒想過，但看起來，的確是有可能的．．．

最近數起A-型肝炎的食品中毒事件，禍首竟然是青蔥。

青蔥最好別生吃,在顯微鏡下看有好多噁心的虫虫!

沒錯.以前修microbiology 時,在顯微鏡下,看過青蔥管

內有好多噁心的虫虫,蛋蛋....。

還有:香菜也是常見有大量 fungus,而且與香菜同保存

的食物也會遭到染污。

所以奉勸愛生吃香菜、青蔥的人們,先把牠燙死再吃！

飲食衛生青蔥最好別生吃。

中國人愛吃脆皮烤鴨,往往將脆皮烤鴨肉包著生的青蔥段

裹著甜麵醬吃,吃炒米粉、貢丸湯、肉羹湯、麵湯、餛飩湯、

火鍋料理、燒烤料理及魚肉料理時，也免不了要來點兒青

蔥花提味。

中國人生吃青蔥的機會實在太多了，麵攤、火鍋店，各個

餐廳?  VIP房裡索性就擺一大碗青蔥花，讓消費者自行取用，

但是，愛吃青蔥花的人在下箸前可得三思了，因為美國食

品藥物管理局日前呼籲消費者注意，最近數起 A型肝炎的食

品中毒事件，禍首竟然是青蔥A型肝炎病毒是一種肝臟疾病，

通常在感染A型肝炎病毒六週後會有症狀，輕微者是發燒、

腹瀉、噁心、嘔吐、無食慾、腹痛、疲倦、皮膚變黃。嚴重

者則引發為肝臟疾病。

美國食品藥物管理局建議消費者應將青蔥放入鍋中加蓋完全

煮熟，或在烹煮魚、肉類或其他料理放入青蔥時，也應將青

蔥完全煮熟後再吃，以降低罹患 A型肝炎的風險.

再提醒一次

A型肝炎,禍首竟然是:青蔥及香菜

美國食物管理局(FDA - U..S. Food and Drug

Administration) 網站上所公佈的警告。

關於青蔥，最好不要生吃。這是FDA的網站，

Questions and Answers on Hepatitis A Outbreaks

Associated with Eating Raw or Undercooked Green Onions(Scallions) 

1.  What did FDA announce today? FDA advised consumers that three recent hepatitis A outbreaks have been associated with eating raw or undercooked green onions (scallions). 

2.  Does this announcement apply to all products containing green onions? No... It only applies to raw or undercooked green onions or products containing them. Commercially prepared products, such as salsa in jars, have received a treatment that eliminates the hepatitis A virus. 

3. What can consumers do to decrease their risk of infection from hepatitis A caused by contaminated green onions? Consumers can cook all raw green onions thoroughly before eating them. This minimizes the risk of illness by reducing or eliminating the virus. Consumers can also avoid eating raw or lightly cooked green onions. Consumers who wish to avoid undercooked green onions should also specifically request that raw or lightly cooked green onions not be added to their food prepared in restaurants. 

4.        Should additional precautions be taken by people with chronic liver disease or weakened immune systems such as patients undergoing chemotherapy or AIDS patients? Persons ! with chronic liver disease or weakened immune systems are not more likely to acquire hepatitis A. However, persons with these chronic illnesses sometimes have a more severe form of hepatitis A. People with chronic liver disease or weakened immune systems should consider avoiding raw or undercooked green onions until the cause of green onion contamination has been identified and corrected. All persons with chronic liver disease should get hepatitis A vaccination (see below). 

5.        What caused the outbreak of hepatitis A in the Pittsburgh area? The State of Pennsylvania , the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and FDA are working together to investigate this outbreak. As of November 15, 2003, the investigation is not finished, and it is not yet known what caused this outbreak. Investigators are now trying to determine if the outbreak was caused by a contaminated food such as raw or undercooked green onions. 

6.        Has FDA asked the restaurant industry to do anything in response to these outbreaks? Yes. FDA has informed the restaurant industry of the association of hepatitis A with raw or undercooked green onions in recent outbreaks so that restaurants can take actions to protect their customers. 

7.        What are the symptoms of hepatitis A? The average incubation period for hepatitis A is 28 days (range: 15-50 days). This means that symptoms of hepatitis A develop within 50 days of exposure.. Persons with hepatitis A virus infection may not have any signs or symptoms of the disease. Adults are more likely to have symptoms than children... If symptoms ! are present, they usually occur abruptly and may include fever, tiredness, loss of appetite, nausea, abdominal discomfort, dark urine, and jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes). Symptoms usually last less than 2 months; a few persons are ill for as long as 6 months. There is no chronic infection with the hepatitis A virus. 

8...        How serious is hepatitis A? Most persons with hepatitis A make a full recovery and will never get hepatitis A again... However, in rare instances (an average of 3 in every 1000 reported cases), hepatitis A can be fatal.. 

9.        What should consumers do if they recently ate food containing raw or lightly cooked green onions?Consumers who have recently eaten raw or lightly cooked green onions and feel well only need to monitor their health.. Consumers who are experiencing symptoms that might be hepatitis A should consult their health care provider. 

10.        Is there a test for hepatitis A? Yes, there is a blood test for hepatitis A, called an IgM anti-HAV. However, the only people who need this test are those who are showing symptoms of hepatitis A. Persons who feel well should not be tested, even if they recently ate green onions. 

11.        What is immune globulin (often called IG or ISG) and who should receive it? Immune globulin is a preparation of antibodies that can be given before exposure to provide short-term protection against hepatitis A to reduce the risk of infection among persons who have recently been exposed to hepatitis A. For maximum protection immune globulin must be given within 2 weeks after exposure. Persons who have recently eaten green onions do not need to get immune globulin unless they have been specifically exposed within the previous 2 weeks to individuals or food involved in an outbreak and believe by public heal! th officials to have been potentially contaminated. 

12.        Are there treatments for hepatitis A? There is no medication that treats hepatitis A. Some patients with hepatitis A may need to be hospitalized to treat dehydration or liver complications. 

13.        Is there a vaccine for hepatitis A? Yes, but it should be given before an exposure to work most effectively. Hepatitis A vaccine has been licensed in the United States for use in persons 2 years of age and older. The vaccine is recommended for persons who are more likely to get hepatitis A virus infection or are more likely to get seriously ill if they do get hepatitis A. More information on vaccination can be found at http://www./.cdc.gov/ncidod/diseases/hepatitis/a/faqa.htm. CDC does not recommend that persons who have eaten green onions get vaccinated, unless a healthcare professional recommends that they get vaccinated because of other risk factors for hepatitis A.. 

14..        Have there been other recent outbreaks of hepatitis A caused by contaminated food in the U.S. ? Have these outbreaks been associated with raw green onions? Yes. Hepatitis A outbreaks associated with raw or undercooked green onions served in restaurants occurred in Tennessee , North Carolina and Georgia in September. The source of the green onions from the Tennessee outbreak appears to be Mexico . The agency has been in consultation with Mexican authorities to obtain their assistance in assessing the situation. In addition, FDA is monitoring certain import entries of green onions for evidence of potential contamination.
