Definitely worth the 'dispensation' ..... :) On 5/14/07, Rick Cook <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
** OK, it's not Friday, but we've missed more than a few, so I'll ask in advance for a one-time dispensation from the Fridays only rule. Three sons left home, went out on their own and prospered. Getting back together, they discussed the gifts that they were able to give to their elderly mother. The first said: "I built a big house for our mother." The second said: "I sent her a Mercedes with a driver." The third said: "I've got you both beat. You know how Mom enjoys the Bible and you know she can't see very well. I sent her a brown parrot that can recite the entire Bible. It took twenty monks in a monastery 12 years to teach him. I had to pledge to contribute $100,000 a year for twenty years but it was worth it. Mom just has to name the chapter and verse, and the parrot will recite it." Soon thereafter, Mom sent out her letters of thanks. She wrote to the first son: "Milton, the house you built is too big. I live in only one room, but I have to clean the whole house." She wrote to the second son: "Marvin, I am too old to travel. I stay home all the time, so I never used the Mercedes... and the driver is SO rude." She wrote to the third son: "Dearest Melvin, you were the only son to have the good sense to know what your mother likes... The chicken was delicious." This one hits too close to home for me...maybe you, too? A man called his mother in Florida: "Mom, how are you?" "Not too good!" said the mother, "I've been very weak." The son said: "Why are you so weak?" She said: "Because I haven't eaten in 38 days." The man said: "That's terrible. Why haven't you eaten in 38 days?" The mother answers: "Because I didn't want my mouth to be filled with food if you should call." *Rick* ------------------------------ *From:* Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *On Behalf Of *Sanford, Claire *Sent:* Monday, May 14, 2007 8:34 AM *To:* [email protected] *Subject:* OT- Whatever happend to the Friday humor thread.. ** we lost our sense of humor? ------------------------------ *From:* Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *On Behalf Of *Joe DeSouza *Sent:* Saturday, May 12, 2007 10:24 PM *To:* [email protected] *Subject:* OT: Whatever happend to the Friday humor thread.. ** I used to sort of look forward to those almost as if they were an indication that weekends here! ------------------------------ Boardwalk for $500?
