Tip for good service?
EXPATRIATE Moaning Myrtle wants to know if she should tip petrol
attendants and hairdressers here, like she does back home.
dumb says it is not necessary, although he sometimes tips taxi
drivers.
He says: 'Surely you don't want it to end up like the United
States, where everybody expects it whether the service is bad or
not. Do you get tipped at work?'
complexbeing agrees, and says tipping is the start to
corruption.
goodgesture tips out of goodwill. 'I sometimes give $20 for a $15
haircut.

Naughty goings on
NETIZENS wonder if the game Naughty America: The Game, set to
launch early this summer, will make it to Singapore.
In the game, players assume the forms of alluring but cartoonish
people who flirt and have sex with other characters.
Characters have their own apartments, but the world also has
'public sex zones' and themed rooms.
ponpokku is convinced the game will be banned.
radish, meanwhile, thinks it is a reflection of the state of
American society.
He thinks youths there are exposed to too much violence, something
he feels is ' just tragic'.
