Hello all -
Rarely would I forward an email making the rounds, but this seems too
apropos not to. I love finding popular examples of "abstract" things -
rather like R.H. Blyth and his book "Zen in English Literature."

*/Repairing Differences/*
A mechanic was re moving a cylinder head from the motor of a Harley
motorcycle when he spotted a well-known heart surgeon in his shop.
The surgeon was there, waiting for the service manager to come and
take a look at his bike.
The mechanic shouted across the garage, "Hey, Doc, can I ask you a
question?"
The surgeon a bit surprised, walked over to the mechanic working on
the motorcycle. The
mechanic straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag and asked, "So Doc,
look at this engine. I
open its heart, take the valves out, fix 'em, put 'em back in, and
when I finish, it works
just like new. So how come I get such a small salary and you get the
really big bucks, when
you and I are doing basically the same work?"
The surgeon paused, smiled and leaned over, and whispered to the
mechanic...
"Try doing it with the engine running."

*/ GETTING OLDER /*
A distraught senior citizen
phoned her doctor's office.
"Is it true," she wanted to know,
"that the medication
you prescribed has to be taken
for the rest of my life?"
"'Yes, I'm afraid so,"' the doctor told her.
There was a moment of silence
before the senior lady replied,
"I'm wondering, then,
just how serious is my condition
because this prescription is marked
'NO REFILLS'."

First you forget names,

Then you forget to pull up your zipper....
it's worse when
you forget to pull it down.

*/Sound Thinking/*
Two guys, one old, one young,
are pushing their carts around Wal-Mart when they collide.
The old guy says to the young guy,
"Sorry about that. I'm looking for my wife, and I guess I wasn't
paying attention to where I was going."
The young guy says, "That's OK, it's a coincidence.
I'm looking for my wife, too...
I can't find her and I'm getting a little desperate."
The old guy says, "Well,
maybe I can help you find her...
what does she look like?"
The young guy says,
"Well, she is 27 yrs. old, tall,
with red hair,
blue eyes, is buxom...wearing no bra,
long legs,
and is wearing short shorts.
What does your wife look like?'
To which the old guy says, "Doesn't matter,
--- let's look for yours."
