Being dead is quite painless. Pain, like time, is going to come on regardless. Question is, what glorious moments can you win from life in addition to the pain? -- Lois McMaster Bujold If you wait for tomorrow, tomorrow comes. If you don't wait for tomorrow, tomorrow comes. --African proverb "Anger is a condition in which the tongue works faster than Thought for the week: "Do not be wise in words--be wise "Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first." - Mark Twain "All people smile in the same language." "If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything." -- Denis Waitley ~TRAILS of KNOWLEDGE~ Caffeine prevents hair loss, claim Treating hair with caffeine products can stop men from going bald, according to a new German study. Professor Peter Elsner, part of the team at the ~TRAILS of HE-HAWS~ A blind man with his seeing eye dog walked into a bar. The blind man picked up the dog and swung it around and around over his head.The bartender ran up and asked, "Man, What on earth are you doing?" The blind man replied, "Just looking around." A young boy called the pastor of a local "corner" church to ask the pastor to come by to pray for his mother who had been very ill with the flu. The pastor knew the family and was aware they had been attending another church down the road. So the pastor asked, "Shouldn't you be asking Brother Simon down the road to come by to pray with your mom?" The young boy replied, "Yeah, but we didn't want to take the chance that he might catch whatever it is that Mom has." #3 Old man Fielding, the miser, at last went to his reward and presented himself at the Pearly Gates. St. Peter greeted him with appropriate solemnity and escorted him to his new abode. Walking past numerous elegant mansions finally they arrived at a dilapidated shack at the end of the street. Fielding, much taken aback, began, "Why am I left with a rundown shack when all of these others have fine mansions?" "Well, sir," replied St. Peter, "we did the best we could with the money you sent us." #4 A game warden noticed how a particular fellow named Sam consistently caught more fish than anyone else. Whereas the other guys would only catch three or four fish a day, Sam would come in from the lake with a boat full of fish. Stringer after stringer was packed with freshly caught trout. The warden, curious, asked Sam his secret. The successful fisherman invited the game warden to accompany him and observe. So the next morning, the two met at the dock and took off in Sam's boat. When they got to the middle of the lake, Sam stopped the boat, and the warden sat back to see how it was done.Sam's approach was simple: He took out a stick of dynamite, lit it, and threw it into the air. The explosion rocked the lake with such a force that dead fish immediately began to surface. Sam took out a net and started scooping them up. Well, you can imagine the reaction of the game warden. When he recovered from the shock of it all, he began yelling at Sam, "You can't do this! I'll put you in jail, buddy! You will be paying every fine there is in the book." Sam, meanwhile, set his net down and took out another stick of dynamite. He lit it and tossed it in the lap of the game warden with these words: "Are you going to sit there all day complaining, or are you going to fish?" |
