Better Not Interrupt

Let's take a breather and look on the funny side for a few minutes. Try this one: Little Johnny watched his daddy's car pass by the school playground and go into the woods. Naturally he was curious. So he followed the car and sawDaddy and Aunt Jan in a passionate embrace. Little Johnny found this so exciting that he could hardly wait as he ran home and started to tell his mother. "Mommy, I was at the playground and I saw Daddy's car go into the woods with Aunt Jane. I went back to look and he was giving Aunt Jane a big kiss, and then he helped her take off her shirt..." At this point Mommy cut him off and said: "Johnny, this is such an interesting story, suppose you save the rest of it for supper time. I want to see the look on Daddy's face when you tell it tonight." At the dinner table that evening Mommy asked little Johnny to tell his story. Johnny started his story: "I was at the playground and I say Daddy's car go into the woods with Aunt Jane. I went back to look and he was giving Aunt Jane a big kiss, then he helped her take off her shirt. Then Aunt Jane and Daddy started doing the same thing that Mommy and Uncle Bill used to do when Daddy was in the Army." Mommy fainted! Yep, there's a moral here. Sometimes you need to listen to the whole story before you interrupt. Thanks for visiting. -- Bob

Grass-Roots Philosophy #1

Shared with you from my achives of long, long ago. Some things never change. Hope you enjoy these as much as I did when first discovered. Real life: In Hollywood, it seems easy to shift dears. Pay back: The height of frustration. The wife who finds a letter she gave her husband to mail three months before in the coat that has been home ever since - waiting for a button to be sewed on. Sign in lumber yard: Come see, come saw. It comes down to this: Borrowing neighbors will take anything but a hint. Hearts are diamonds: Card games can be expensive, but so is any game where you hold hands. Touch of genius: They laughed at Watt, too, until he invented the Watt Schmacallit. Timeless: It would be interesting to hear today's teen tell their children what they had to do without. Voting: A process of standing in line to help decide which party will spend your money. Bears repeating: The worst moment for an atheist is when he feels grateful and he has no one to thank. The Long and Short of It: If all the economists were placed end to end, they wouldn't reach a conclusion. Getting the business: It's a tough world for the American businessman. Every time he comes up with something new, the Japanese invent it a week later and the Chinese make it cheaper. Watch 'em count: If you don't think your children can count, try giving them different allowances. Think of it: Rush hour is called that time of day when traffic moves at a snail's pace. With or without drugs: Experimenters say that with the aid of drugs you can enter a world where everything is blurred, unfamiliar, and fantastic. Well, at a certain age you can achieve the same result by misplacing your glasses. Thanks for visiting. -- Bob
