~~ At work, my dad noticed that the name of an employee was the

same as that of an old friend.
So he found the man's email address and sent him a message.
When Dad received a reply, he was insulted.
So he fired back another email: "I have put on some weight, but I didn't
realize it was that noticeable!"
His friend's hastily typed message, with an apparent typo,
had read: "Hi, Ron. I didn't know you worked here,
but I did see a gut that looked like you in the cafeteria."

☺
~~ As we gathered in the living room, my father opened up his birthday
present from my mother, two exquisite silk ties.
With nary a thank you, he quietly slipped away to their bedroom.
There he changed into a crisp white shirt and his best suit before
parading in front of us wearing one of the ties.
Mom looked at his ensemble, then asked, "Don't you like the other one?"

☺
~~ My six year-old nephew, Noah, was given an allowance equal to his
age.
On his seventh birthday, he welcomed the news from his mother that his
weekly allowance would increase to seven dollars.
"Oh man!" he said, "I can't wait till I'm 50!"

☺
~~ Every sixty seconds you spend angry, upset or mad,
is a full minute of happiness you'll never get back.

~~ My daughter Sonya's Grade 4 class went on a field trip to
Fort Langley, a historic Hudson's Bay Company fur-trading post.
Upon entering a cabin with various fur-bearing animals strung from the
ceiling, Sonya and her friend, Hilary, shrieked with disgust.
They went on about how cruel and nasty people must have been in the
olden days to kill these helpless animals.
Overhearing their chatter, the tour guide asked Hilary where her lovely
shoes came from.
Looking at her leather shoes, Hilary thought for a brief moment and then
replied, "The Bay.
Thanks for noticing!"

~~ Q. Why did the blind man give up skydiving?
A. It was scaring the hell out of his dog!

☺
~~ Pete really brought home how obsessive we've all become about
appearances.
One day, with a very serious look, he asked,
"What do you think, does this body make me look fat?"

☺
~~ A series of deadbeat tenants made my friend Marie skittish about
whom to rent to next.
"I'm trying to decide between a woman and a man whose license plate
says HOSTILE."
"Pick the woman," I suggested.
A few days later Marie told me, "I took your advice."
"And she doesn't have plates that read PSYCHO or anything, right?"
"Well, no, but her last name is Hazzard."

☺
~~ It was eleven o'clock at night, and I was in the barracks talking
on the phone with my wife.
A familiar tune began to play.
"Hear that? I asked her.
"They're playing taps outside."
My wife grew quiet.
"Oh," she said....... "Well, you can go play with them if you want."

☺
~~ Often when my children were little, one of them would want
something that cost too much, and I'd have to say,
"Do you see a money tree outside?
Money doesn't grow on trees, you know."
Years later, on a warm, spring Mother's Day morning,
I happened to look out my window and saw a new tree planted right
in my yard.
I put my glasses on and couldn't believe what I saw.
There were dollar bills taped all over the new tree, a hundred of them,
in fact.
I live up in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, where winters are long and cold,
and summers are way too short.
But every winter now I look out my window and think about what my
children did for me, and I get tears, every time.
I'm still not sure that money grows on trees.
But I know love does!

Todays Thought: People say that money is not the key to happiness,

but I always figured if you have enough money,  you can have a key made.
