A friend of mine was having a bit of marital tension in his household
and was trying to figure out just what to do about it. In the course
of our conversation, I happened to mention to him that: "You know,
quite often God speaks to us through our wives. " My friend looked at
me kind of funny and said, "Wow! I didn't know God used that kind of
language! "
Sir Isaac Newton had a theory of how to get the best outcomes in a
courtroom. He suggested to lawyers that they should drag their
arguments into the late afternoon hours. The English judges of his
day would never abandon their 4 o'clock tea time, and therefore would
always bring down their hammer and enter a hasty, positive decision
so they could retire to their chambers for a cup of Earl Grey. This
tactic used by the British lawyers is still recalled as Newton's Law
of Gavel Tea. (Guy Ben Moshe)
The Christian missionary was making his first visit to a tribe in
Borneo. The missionary asked the chief, "Do you people know anything
about religion?" After a pause, the chief answered, "We got a little
taste of it when the last missionary was here."
Each day when I would come home from work I would drop to my knees
and ask my 4 year old son if he wanted to box. I wanted him to learn
how to protect himself. We would spar around for a few minutes before
supper. One day my wife and I took our son to get new shoes. The shoe
salesman was friendly and allowed my son to try on several pairs of
shoes before we decided on a particular pair that he liked. We asked
if he wanted to wear them home and he replied, "yes." The salesman,
who was kneeling on the floor in front of our son, held the old shoes
in his hands and asked, "do you want a box?" Our son stood up and
punched him right on the nose. After grabbing our son we had to spend
the next several minutes explaining why this happened. Luckily, our
salesman was the father of a 4 year old.
