****JOKE
TIME****
A man was being tailgated by a
stressed-out woman on a busy boulevard. Suddenly, the light turned yellow, just
in front of him. He did the right thing, stopping at the crosswalk, even though
he could have beaten the red light by accelerating through the
intersection.
The tailgating woman hit the roof, and the horn, screaming
in frustration as she missed her chance to get through the intersection with
him. As she was still in mid-rant, she heard a tap on her window and looked up
into the face of a very serious police officer. The officer ordered her to exit
her car with her hands up. He took her to the police station where she was
searched, fingerprinted, photographed, and placed in a cell.
After a
couple of hours, a policeman approached the cell and opened the door. She was
escorted back to the booking desk where the arresting officer was waiting with
her personal effects.
He said, "I'm very sorry for this mistake. You see,
I pulled up behind your car while you were blowing your horn, flipping the guy
off in front of you, and cussing a blue streak at him. I noticed the 'Choose
Life' license plate holder, the 'What Would Jesus Do" bumper sticker, the
'Follow Me to Sunday School' bumper sticker and the chrome-plated Christian fish
emblem on the trunk. Naturally, I assumed you had stolen the car." <><><><><><><><>><><><><><>><<><>>><<>><>><<>><<>><<>><>> /x-tad-bigger>/color>/fontfamily>TO:
ALL EMPLOYEES SUBJECT: SICK LEAVE POLICY
SICKNESS: No excuse...We
will no longer accept your doctor's statement as proof. We believe that if you
are able to go to the doctor, you are able to come to work.
AN
OPERATION: We are no longer allowing this practice. We wish to discourage any
thoughts that you may need an operation. We believe that as long as you are an
employee here, you will need all of whatever you have and should not consider
having anything removed. We hired you as you are, and to have anything removed
would certainly make you less than we bargained for.
DEATH: Other
than your own: This is no excuse for missing work. There is nothing you can
do for them, and we are sure that someone else can attend to the arrangements.
However, if the funeral can be held in the late afternoon, we will be glad to
allow you to work through your lunch hour and subsequently let you leave 1 hour
early, provided your share of the work is ahead enough to keep the job going in
your absence.
Your own: This will be accepted as an excuse. However,
we require at least two weeks notice as we feel it is your duty to train your
replacement.
ALSO: Entirely too much time is being spent in the
restroom. In the future, we will follow the practice of going in alphabetical
order. For instance, those whose names begin with "A" will go from 8:00-8:15,

A cat dies and goes to Heaven. God meets him at the gate and says, "You've
been a good cat all of these years. Anything you desire is yours, all you have
to do is ask."
The cats says, "Well, I lived all my life with a poor
family on a farm and had to sleep on hardwood floors." God says, "Say no more."
And instantly, a fluffy pillow appears. A few days later, 6 mice are killed in a
tragic accident and they go to Heaven. God meets them at the gate with the same
offer that He made the cat.
The mice said, "All our lives we've had to
run. We've been chased by cats, dogs and even women with brooms. If we could
only have a pair of roller skates, we wouldn't have to run anymore." God says,
"Say no more." And instantly, each mouse is fitted with a beautiful pair of tiny
roller skates.
About a week later, God decides to check and see how the
cat is doing. The cat is sound asleep on his new pillow. God gently wakes him
and asks,
"How are you doing? Are you happy here?"
The cat yawns
and stretches and says, "Oh, I've never been happier in my life. And those Meals
on Wheels you've been sending over are the
best!" <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> An
elderly couple were having dinner at another couple's house and after their
meal, the wives left the table to go to the kitchen.
The two elderly
gents were talking, and one says: "Last night we went out to a fabulous new
restaurant .I'd highly recommend."
The other man says: "What's the name
of the restaurant?"
The first man thinks long and hard with a furrowed
brow, finally saying: "Ah, what is the name of that red flower you give to
someone you love?"
His friend replies: "A carnation?" "No, no. The other
one," the man says.
His friend suggest "The poppy?"
"No, no, no"
growls the man.
"You know - the one that is red and has
thorns."
His friend says: "Do you mean a rose?"
"Yes! Thank you!"
the first man says. He then turns toward the kitchen and yells: "Rose, what's
the name of that restaurant we went to last
night?" ><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> An
extraordinarily handsome man decided he had the God-given responsibility to
marry the perfect woman so they could produce children beyond
comparison.
With that as his mission he began searching for the perfect
woman. After a diligent, but fruitless, search up and down the east coast, he
started to head west. Shortly thereafter he met a farmer who had three stunning,
gorgeous daughters that positively took his breath away. So he explained his
mission to the farmer, asking for permission to marry one of them.
The
farmer simply replied, "They're all lookin' to get married, so you came to the
right place. Look them over and select the one you want."
The man dated
the first daughter. The next day the farmer asked for the man's
opinion. "Well" said the man, " She's just a weeeeee bit, not that you can
hardly notice, but pigeon-toed."
The farmer nodded and suggested the man
date one of the other girls; so the man went out with the second
daughter.
The next day, the farmer again asked how things
went. "Well," the man replied, "She's just a weeeee bit, not that you can
hardly tell, cross-eyed."
The farmer nodded and suggested he date the
third girl to see if things might be better. So he did.
The next
morning the man rushed in exclaiming, "She's perfect, just perfect! She's the
one I want to marry!" So they were wed right away.
Months later the baby
was born. When the man visited nursery he was horrified: the baby was the
ugliest, most pathetic human you can imagine. He rushed to his father-in-law
asking how such a thing could happen considering the parents.
"Well,"
explained the farmer, "She was just a weeeee bit, not that you could hardly
tell, pregnant when you met
her." <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> An
elderly couple who were childhood sweethearts had married and settled down in
their old neighborhood . They we're celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary
and decided to walk down the street to their old school. There, they hold hands
as they find the old desk they 'd shared and where he had carved "I love you,
Sally."
On their way back home, a bag of money falls out of an armored
car and lands practically at their feet. Sally quickly picks it up and decides
to take it home until they decide what to do with it. There, she counts the
money, and it's fifty thousand dollars.
The husband says, "We've got to
give it back."
She says, "finders keepers" and puts the money back in the
bag and hides it up in their attic.
The next day, two FBI men are
going door-to-door in the neighborhood looking for the money and show up at
their home. They say, "Pardon me, but did either of you find or know about some
money that fell out of an armored car yesterday?"
She says,
"No."
The husband quickly interjects, "She's lying!! She hid it up in the
attic."
She says, "Don't believe him, he's getting
senile."
However, the agents sit the man down and begin to question him.
"Sir, please tell us the story from the beginning."
The old man says,
"Well, when Sally and I were walking home from school yesterday..."
The
FBI agents immediately look at each other and say, "Let's get out of
here!!" ><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> One
night at about 3am my wife was getting up from the toilet to return to bed when
she heard a little noise. It was a suspiciously rodent like sound that seemed to
be right in the bathroom with her.
She of course froze and listened
attentively for any further sign of invaders. After a moment, satisfied that she
was alone, she took a step for the door. Rodent scratchy sounds
again!
She froze, not breathing. Silence. Her heart beat fast as she once
again tried to retreat from the bathroom.
This time the noise was
accompanied by something touching the back of her leg! That was, of course, too
much to bear. She literally flew the 8 feet to the bed, clearing the foot board
by a couple feet, to land screaming by my side.
This is not a pleasant
way to wake up. Scrambling into consciousness, now scared half to death myself,
I managed to get the light on.
The culprit was right there in plain
sight, a trail of toilet paper neatly marked the path from bed to the
bathroom.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Three
friends were stranded on a desert island. After several weeks with no food and
no drinking water, they were beginning to lose heart.
Suddenly, a bottle
floated into the shore and a beautiful genie popped out. She said "I have three
wishes to grant. Each of you gentleman can make one wish come
true."
Friend number one got excited. He said "I wish I was in Las Vegas
with dice in one hand and a drink in the other, surrounded by music, food, and
beautiful women." Instantly he was gone, his wish granted.
Friend number
two smiled and said, "I wish I was back home right now with my wonderful wife
and our two small children, at our log cabin in the woods sitting in front of
the fire and singing Christmas carols together." Just like that, he
disappeared.
The genie asked the remaining man, "And what do you wish
for?"
He answered, "Gee, I wish I had my buddies back to help me
decide..." ><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> A
couple just started their Lamaze class and they were given an activity requiring
the husband to wear a bag of sand to give him an idea of what it feels like to
be pregnant. The husband stood up and shrugged saying, "This doesn't feel so
bad."
The instructor then dropped a pen and asked the husband to pick it
up.
"You want me to pick up the pen as if I were pregnant, the way my
wife would do it?" the husband asked.
"Exactly," replied the
instructor.
To the delight of the other husbands, he turned to his wife
and said, "Honey, pick up that pen for
me." ><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Well,
the hours passed and the beer was going down way too easy. At around 2:30 a.m.,
drunk as a skunk, I headed for home. Just as I got in the door, the cuckoo clock
in the hall started up and cuckooed 3 times. Quickly, I realized she'd probably
wake up, so I cuckooed another 9 times. I was really proud of myself, having a
quick-witted solution, even when smashed, to escape a possible
conflict.
The next morning my wife asked me what time I got in, and I
told her twelve o'clock. She didn't seem disturbed at all. Whew! Got away with
that one!
She then told me that we needed a new cuckoo clock.
When
I asked her why, she said, "Well, last night our clock cuckooed three times,
then said "uh-oh," cuckooed 4 more times, cleared its throat, cuckooed another 3
times, giggled, cuckooed twice more, and then
farted." ><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> A
man got his prescription for Viagra, and goes home to get ready for when his
wife gets home. He calls her on the phone, and says, "I'll be home in an hour."
"Perfect," she replies. The man thinks her agreement is because the Doctor told
him to take his Viagra an hour before. He takes the Viagra and waits. Well, and
hour goes by, the man is ready to go, but no wife? She calls him on the phone
and she says, "Traffic is terrible. I won't be there for about an hour and a
half." The man, frustrated, calls his Doctor for advice. "What should I do?" he
asks. The Doctor replied, "It would be a shame to waste it. Do you have a
housekeeper around?" "Yes" the man replied. "Well, maybe you can occupy yourself
with her instead?" said the Doctor. The man then replied with dismay, "But I
don't need Viagra with the housekeeper..." /fontfamily> /x-tad-bigger>/bigger>/fontfamily>><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Joe
was moderately successful in his career, but as he got older he was increasingly
hampered by incredible headaches. When his personal hygiene and love life
started to suffer, he sought medical help. After being referred from one
specialist to another, he finally came across a doctor who solved the problem.
"The good news is I can cure your headaches... The bad news is that it will
require castration. You have a very rare condition which causes your testicles
to press up against the base of your spine. The pressure creates one hell of a
headache. The only way to relieve the pressure is to remove the testicles."
Joe was shocked and depressed. He wondered if he had anything to live
for. He couldn't concentrate long enough to answer, but decided he had no choice
but to go under the knife.
When he left the hospital, his mind was
clear, but he felt like he was missing an important part of himself. As he
walked down the street, he realized that he felt like a different person. He
could make a new beginning and live a new life.
He walked past a men's
clothing store and thought, "That's what I need: a new suit." He entered the
shop and told the salesman, "I'd like a new suit."
The salesman eyed him
briefly and said, "Let's see... size 44 long." Joe laughed, "That's right, how
did you know?"
"It's my job."
Joe tried on the suit. It fit
perfectly. As Joe admired himself in the mirror, the salesman asked, "How about
a new shirt?" Joe thought for a moment and then said, "Sure..."
The
salesman eyed Joe and said, "Let's see... 34 sleeve and... 16 and a half neck"
Joe was surprised, "That's right, how did you know?"
"It's my job."
Joe tried on the shirt, and it fit perfectly. As Joe adjusted the collar
in the mirror, the salesman asked, "How about new shoes?" Joe was on a roll and
said, "Sure..."
The salesman eyed Joe's feet and said, "Let's see...
9-1/2... E." Joe was astonished, "That's right, how did you know?"
"It's
my job."
Joe tried on the shoes and they fit perfectly. Joe walked
comfortably around the shop and the salesman asked, "How about a new hat?"
Without hesitating, Joe said, "Sure..."
The salesman eyed Joe's head and
said, "Let's see... 7-5/8." Joe was incredulous, "That's right, how did you
know?"
"It's my job."
The hat fit perfectly. Joe was feeling
great, when the salesman asked, "How about some new underwear?" Joe thought for
a second and said, "Sure..." The salesman stepped back, eyed Joe's waist and
said, "Let's see... size 36."
Joe laughed, "No, I've worn size 34 since
I was 18 years old."
The salesman shook his head, "You can't wear a size
34. It would press your testicles up against the base of your spine and give you
one hell of a headache." /fontfamily> /x-tad-bigger>/bigger>/fontfamily>><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> A
Captain in the foreign legion was transferred to a desert outpost. On his
orientation tour he noticed a very old, seedy looking camel tied out back of the
enlisted mens barracks. He asked the Sergeant leading the tour, "What's the
camel for?".
The Sergeant replied "Well sir it's a long way from
anywhere, and the men have natural sexual urges, so when they do, uh, we have
the camel."
The captain said "Well if it's good for moral, then I guess
it's all right with me."
After he had been at the fort for about 6
months the captain could not stand it any more so he told his Sergeant, "BRING
IN THE CAMEL!!!"
The sarge shrugged his shoulders and led the camel into
the captains quarters. The captain got a foot stool & proceeded to have
vigorous sex with the camel. As he stepped, satisfied, down from the stool,
and was buttoning his pants he asked the Sergeant, "Is that how the enlisted men
do it?"
The Sergeant replied, "Well sir, they usually just use it to
ride into town."/fontfamily> /x-tad-bigger>/bigger>/fontfamily>><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> A
police officer, though scheduled for all-night duty at the station, was relieved
of duty early and arrived home four hours ahead of schedule, at 2 in the
morning. Not wanting to wake his wife, he undressed in the dark, crept into the
bedroom and started to climb into bed. Just then, his wife sleepily sat up
and said, "Mike, dearest, would you go down to the all-night drug store on the
next block and get me some aspirin? I've got a splitting headache."
"Certainly, honey," he said, and feeling his way across the dark room,
he got dressed and walked over to the drug store.
As he arrived, the
pharmacist looked up in surprise, "Say," said the druggist, "I know you - aren't
you a policeman? Officer Fenwick, right?"
"Yeah, so?" said the officer.
"Well what the heck are you doing all dressed like the Fire Chief?" /fontfamily>

husband and wife had four boys. The odd part of it was that the older three had
red hair, light skin, and were tall, while the youngest son had black hair, dark
eyes, and was short. The father eventually took ill and was lying on his
deathbed when he turned to his wife and said, "Honey, before I die, be totally
honest with me - is our youngest son my child?"
The wife replied, "I
swear on everything that's holy that he is your son."
With that the
husband passed away. The wife then muttered, "Thank God he didn't ask about the
other three."/fontfamily> /x-tad-bigger>/bigger>/fontfamily>><><><><><><><><>Fred

Preparing for a garage sale at our house, my wife
and I decided to put out a mirror we'd received as a wedding gift. Because of
its garish aqua colored metal frame we just couldn't find a room in our house
where it looked good. Shortly after the garage sale started, a man looking to
decorate his apartment bought it for one dollar.
"This is a great deal,"
he said excitedly." It still has the plastic on it."
Then he peeled off
the aqua colored protective covering to reveal a beautiful gold finished
frame. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ One day, Uncle Jim got fired from his
construction job. His nephew asked him what happened.
You know what a
foreman is?" Uncle Jim asked.
"The one who stands around and watches the
other men work, what's that got to do with it?" the nephew
inquired.
Well, he just got jealous of me," Uncle Jim explained.
"Everyone thought I was the foreman." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A guy is working on a steep roof and
starts to slide down out of control.
"Help me God," he cries.
A
large nail catches on his overalls and stops his decent.
"Never mind God,
a nails got me," he sighs with
relief. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ An old timer is looking at tools at the
local building supply store. He picks up a hammer.
"Don't make these like
they used to," he tells the salesman. "I've had the same one for over fifty
years, just had to replace the handle six times and the head twice."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jake got a
job at an apartment complex. After three days the superintendent called him into
his office.
"How could you even apply for this job?" he said. "You have
bungled every repair that I've asked you to do."
"Well your sign said
'Handyman Wanted'. I'm handy, I live around the corner."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This morning
three old citizens were standing on the street discussing the weather and the
prolonged drought, when one of them remarked, "Did you ever see such a long dry
spell in your life?" "Yes," replied the jovial Col. E. von Seutter, "I remember
a dry spell that lasted two years." "Why, when was that," asked his two
companions. "Two years ago when we had Prohibition," responded the
Colonel ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ While leading a tour of kindergarten
students through our hospital, I overheard a conversation between one little
girl and an x-ray technician.
"Have you ever broken a bone?" he
asked.
"Yes," the girl replied.
"Did it
hurt?"
"No."
"Really? Which bone did you break?"
"My
sister's arm."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I dialed a number and got the following recording: "I am not
available right now, but thank you for caring enough to call. I am making
some changes in my life. Please leave a message after the beep If I do
not return your call, you are one of the changes." ~~~~~ At pilots
training back in the Air Corps they taught us, "Always try to keep the number
of landings you make equal to the number of take offs you

house. Knowing his sweet tooth, Tommy's mother looked straight into his eyes
and said, "I hope you didn't ask for a second piece of cake." "No, but I
asked Mrs. Smith for the recipe so you could make some like it, and she gave
me two more pieces without asking. " ~~~~~ Aspire to inspire before you

mine. ~~~~~ As my five year old son and I were headed to McDonald's one
day, we passed a car accident. Usually when we see something terrible like
that, we say a prayer for those who might be hurt, so I pointed and said to
my son, "We should pray." From the back seat I heard his earnest
request: "Please, God, don't let those cars block the entrance to
McDonald's." ~~~~~ Frustration is trying to find your glasses without your

**** HEALTH NEWS **** Study says girls with ADHD face same
risks
BERKELEY, Calif., -- A University of
California-Berkeley study says risks faced by girls diagnosed
with attention- deficit hyperactivity disorder are as high as
that of boys. The federally funded study of girls, who were
diagnosed with ADHD in elementary school, says they are at
greater risk for substance abuse, emotional problems and
academic difficulties in adolescence than girls without the
neuro- behavioral condition, reports The Washington Post.
The study says the findings, published in the June issue
of the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology,
should help refute the widely held belief that ADHD poses
less risk to girls than to boys, the Post reported.
Psycholo- gist Stephen P. Hinshaw, lead author of the study,
said, "The cumulative picture is that girls with ADHD are
at risk for a lot of
problems.
Study expands
knowledge about autism
PITTSBURGH, -- U.S.
researchers say they believe they've identified why people
suffering from autism think in pic- tures. The researchers in
the National Institutes of Health- funded study found autism
might involve a lack of con- nections and coordination in
separate areas of the brain. In people with autism, brain areas
performing complex analysis appear less likely to work together
during problem- solving tasks than in non-afflicted people. The
researchers found communications between those brain centers in
autis- tics appear to be directly related to the thickness of
the anatomical connections between them. In a separate
study, the same research team found that, in people with
autism, brain areas normally associated with visual tasks
also appear to be active during language-related tasks,
which might explain a bias toward visual thinking common
in autism. "The findings may one day provide the basis
for improved treatments for autism that stimulate
communication between brain areas," said Dr. Duane Alexander,
director of NIH's National Institute of Child Health and Human
Develop- ment. The research was led by psychology Professor
Marcel Just at Carnegie Mellon University and Dr. Nancy
Minshew, professor of psychiatry and neurology at the University
of Pittsburgh School of
Medicine.
Computer brain
implants aid the paralyzed
PROVIDENCE, R.I., -- The
latest development in brain-com- puter interface technology
presents a potential way to replace or restore lost motor
function in paralyzed humans. John Donoghue and colleagues at
Brown University have demonstrated a patient paralyzed by a
spinal cord injury can move a cursor on a screen simply by
thinking about it. The movement is made possible by a device
known as a neuro- motor prosthesis, or NMP, consisting of a
sensor with an array of electrodes implanted in the patient's
brain in at area known as motor cortex. Information recorded by
the electrodes is decoded and processed by a computer,

Krishna Shenoy and colleagues at Stanford University address
the system performance of NMPs. They show a fast and
accurate system, capable of communicating information at a
rate approximately equivalent to typing 15 words per minute

Positive Mental Attitude!!
We
can all learn a lesson from this great old girl!
The 92-year-old, petite,
well-poised and proud lady, who is fully dressed each morning by eight
o'clock, with her hair fashionably coifed and makeup perfectly applied, even
though she is legally blind, moved to a nursing home today.
Her
husband of 70 years recently passed away, making the
move necessary.
After many hours of waiting patiently in the lobby of
the nursing home, she smiled sweetly when told her room was ready.
As
she maneuvered her walker to the elevator, I provided a visual description of
her tiny room, including the eyelet sheets that had been hung on her
window.
"I love it," she stated with the enthusiasm of an
eight-year-old having just been presented with a new puppy
"Mrs.
Jones, you haven't seen the room . just wait."
"That doesn't have
anything to do with it," she replied. "Happiness is something you decide on
ahead of time. Whether I like my room or not doesn't depend on how the
furniture is arranged... it's how I arrange my mind.
I already decided
to love it "It's a decision I make every morning when I wake up. I have a
choice; I can spend the day in bed recounting the difficulty I have with the
parts of my body that no longer work, or get out of bed and be thankful for
the ones that do.
Each day is a gift, and as long as my eyes open I'll
focus on the new day and all the happy memories I've stored away .ju st for
this time in my life.
Old age is like a bank account .you withdraw
from what you've put in.
So, my advice to you would be to deposit a lot
of happiness in the bank account of memories.
Thank you for your part
in filling my Memory bank. I am still depositing.
Remember the five
simple rules to be happy:
1. Free your heart from hatred.
2. Free
your mind from worries.
3. Live simply.
4. Give more.
5.
Expect less. FRED **** ON THIS DAY

**** TODAY'S
USELESS FACT ****
Is it true you should change your shampoo every 6
months?
While it's true hair is sometimes shinier after a hot oil
treatment or a beer rinse, the switching shampoos
theory seems to be a tangle of marketing hype. Because unless the suds are
prescription or for dandruff, most
shampoos have the same active ingredients.
Regardless, some believe an
occasional clarifying shampoo can get rid of "product buildup." Where do people
get this idea? From some stylists and some product lines. We need more
proof.
According to Cosmetic Mall's Beauty Tips, frequent use isn't the
only reason to purchase a rotating cast of shampoos. The weather is also a
culprit. "In dry winter air, a moisturizing shampoo may become necessary. In the
summer, you may need a volume-building shampoo which will help keep your hair
fuller."
But before you spend your paycheck on shampoos for all seasons,
famed colorist Robert Craig has another theory: it's the water. After learning
detergent manufacturers alter their product based upon each region's water
hardness, he developed shampoos to do the same. He says, "if you are using a
shampoo formulated for the water it is used with...there is never a need to
change products." Maybe only a different kind of marketing hype, but it's an
argument we'll buy.

LAST CALL Y'ALL
A school
teacher injured his back and had to wear a plaster cast around the upper part
of his body. It fit under his shirt and was not noticeable at all.
On
the first day of the term, still with the cast under his shirt, he found
himself assigned to the toughest students in school.
Walking
confidently into the rowdy classroom, he opened the window as wide as
possible and then busied himself with desk work.
When a strong breeze
made his tie flap, he took the desk stapler and stapled the tie to his
chest.
He had no trouble with discipline that term.
