Bir öğretmen gemiye binmiş. Gemiciye, “Sen hiç dilbilgisi kitabı okudun mu?” diye sormuş. Gemici “Hayır, daha önce hiç dilbilgisi kitabı okumadım.” diye cevap vermiş. Bunun üzerine öğretmen, gemiciye “Ömrünün yarısı mahvolmuş.” demiş.
Gemici çok sinirlenmiş, kalbi kırılmış ama öğretmene hiçbir şey söylememiş. Bir süre sonra büyük bir fırtına çıkmış, fırtına sebebiyle gemi çok sallanmış. Gemici, öğretmene “Sen yüzme biliyor musun?” diye sormuş. Öğretmen, “Hayır, yüzme bilmiyorum.” demiş. O zaman gemici, öğretmene şunları söylemiş: Şimdi senin ömrünün tamamı mahvoldu. Çünkü gemi biraz sonra batacak!

There's a video on TikTok in which a user takes a jar of seasoning called "Everything But the Bagel" and carefully separates the ingredients into small piles to find out the secret to the recipe.

The video has been viewed almost 2 million times — a sign of just how popular this seasoning mix, made by US company Trader Joe's, has become.

People like to put it on top of bagels and use it in lots of different meals.

However, fans of the mix have been finding out that it's not welcome everywhere in the world.

Signs have been posted at Incheon Airport in Seoul, telling passengers they can't bring jars of the seasoning into the country.

The reason is that one of the ingredients is banned in South Korea.

The mix contains things like sesame seeds, dried garlic, dried onion and salt — but poppy seeds are the problem.

Poppy seeds are banned in South Korea because they are narcotic-related items, according to the airport. The ban is not new but travelers have said that airports are now cracking down on the seasoning mix.

The seeds are also banned in a number of other countries, including Saudi Arabia and Singapore.

The poppy plant is used to make drugs like heroin and morphine, although the seeds don't contain any opiates.

However, the country worries that the seeds could be contaminated by opiates.

In fact, in the US, members of the armed forces have been advised not to eat products containing poppy seeds in case they affect the results of drug tests.

Drug tests can be very sensitive but experts say that it would be almost impossible to eat enough poppy seeds to feel any narcotic effect.

CHISTES MEXICANOS

CUIDADO CON LOS BESITOS.

Nació en la ciudad de Oaxaca el 15 de septiembre de 1830. Fueron sus padres José
Faustino Díaz y Petrona Mory. Ingresó al Instituto de Ciencias y Artes del Estado, para
seguir allí la carrera de leyes. Hizo amistad con Benito Juárez, quien entonces dirigía el
Instituto.
El primero de diciembre de 1854 el presidente convocó a un plebiscito para
afirmarse en el poder. Porfirio Díaz se negó a votar; y se pronunció a favor de que se le
entregara la presidencia a Juan Álvarez. Con tal motivo buscó refugio entre las
guerrillas adictas al Plan de Ayuda. Al triunfo de la revolución, Porfirio fue nombrado
jefe político del Distrito de Ixtán, asistió a una cátedra de estrategia y táctica, creada
por Benito Juárez e impartida por el teniente coronel Ignacio Uría. Como jefe político
de Ixtán, organizó la guardia nacional de su distrito.
Esto valió que el gobernador de Oaxaca, Benito Juárez, le otorgara implementos
de guerra para armar a sus hombres. Después de servir un año como jefe político, Díaz
entró al servicio activo del Ejército, con el grado de capitán de granaderos adscrito a la Guardia Nacional de
Oaxaca. En 1857 ocurrió la rebelión de los conservadores contra la Constitución promulgada ese año. Díaz quedó
entonces como gobernador y comandante militar de Tehuantepec. Díaz derrotó en Las Jícaras a los conservadores
(13 de abril de 1858), por cuyo triunfo ascendió a mayor de Infantería.
Se incorpora a las fuerzas del gobierno en Tlalixtac y con ellas avanzó sobre Oaxaca, a la que pusieron sitio
del primero de febrero al 11 de mayo de 1859, pero tuvieron que levantarlo ante la superioridad de los
conservadores. Perseguidos por éstos, Díaz les hizo frente en Ixtepeji y les infligió severa derrota. Una vez
reorganizadas sus fuerzas, tomó Oaxaca el 15 de mayo de 1860. En premio el presidente Juárez lo ascendió a
coronel efectivo. Fue electo diputado al Congreso de la Unión por el distrito oaxaqueño de Ocotlán. El 24 de junio
de1861 el general...
