"I do my exercises every morning. Immediately after waking I sternly say to myself, 'Ready, now. Up. Down. Up. Down.' And after two strenuous minutes I tell myself, 'Okay, now try the other eyelid.'"

A minister was preoccupied with thoughts of how he was going to ask the congregation to come up with more money than they were expecting for repairs to the church building. Therefore, he was annoyed to find that the regular organist was sick and a substitute had been brought in at the last minute. "Here's a copy of the service," he said impatiently. "But you'll have to think of something to play after I make the announcement about the finances." During the service, the minister paused and said, "Brothers and Sisters, we are in great difficulty; the roof repairs cost twice as much as we expected, and we need $4,000 more. Any of you who can pledge $100 or more, please stand up." At that moment, the substitute organist played, "The Star Spangled Banner."

My mother always used to tell me,
At the Pet Shop A lady is looking to purchase a pet for companionship, and so goes to the local pet shop to purchase a cat or such. However, when she arrives, she is intrigued by the beautiful young parrot on a perch by the counter. "Will this parrot talk?" she asks the owner. "Oh yes, this parrot comes from a long line of excellent talkers. In two weeks he will be mimicing your speech like he's having a conversation with you." The lady excitedly purchases the bird in a large cage (for a handsome fee) and takes it home. Two weeks later, she comes into the store. "This bird you sold me hasn't said a word!" The owner looks puzzled. "I can't understand it, that is our best talker. He should talk when he swings. " "What? You didn't sell me a swing!" The owner happily sells her a swing for the bird's cage. But, two weeks later, she returns with the same complaint. "I really can't understand it, he should talk after exercising on the ladder," the owner says. Frustrated that he didn't tell her this before, she buys the ladder. Two weeks later, ...you know. The owner says, "something is wrong, because when he climbs on the stairs, and gets on his swing, and looks into the mirror, he definitely should be talking!" She buys the stinkin' mirror, and in 2 more weeks... In she walks with the cage, containing the swing, ladder, mirror... and one dead parrot with it's legs up in the air. "Here's your mute bird and all the junk you sold me - all I want is my money back!" The owner was dumbfounded. "Lady, this is the first parrot that has ever come back - didn't the parrot say any words at all??" "Well, now that you mention it, he did, say one thing," she said. "He said, 'Doesn't, that, shop, sell... Bird food?!?'"

PAGOO
Ask It Joe and Frank were in the office, and noticed that someone had put up a suggestion box with some 3x5 cards next to it. Both decided that this was a great idea, and each took a card to fill out. Joe wrote, "The office workers should all be given raises!" When he looked at Frank's card, it said "Can we all have raises, and keys to the executive washroom, and personal secretaries, and new company cars, and new coffee cups, and longer lunch breaks, and an extra three weeks vacation each year, and a holiday on St. Patrick's Day, and Columbus Day and Martin Luther Kings Birthday?" Joe said, "Frank, that isn't the right way of getting things changed around here . . . . You shouldn't put all of your begs in one ask-it."

The Dress "Do you like my dress?" she asked of a passing stranger. "My mommy made it just for me." She said with a tear in her eye. "Well, I think it's very pretty, so tell me little one, why are you crying?" With a quiver in her voice the little girl answered. "After Mommy made me this dress, she had to go away." "Well, now," said the lady, "with a little girl like you waiting for her, I'm sure she'll be right back." "No ma'am, you don't understand," said the child through her tears, "my Daddy said that she's up in heaven now with Grandfather." Finally the woman realized what the child meant, and why she was crying. Kneeling down she gently cradled the child in her arms and together they cried for the mommy that was gone. Then suddenly the little girl did something that the woman thought was a bit strange. She stopped crying, stepped back from the woman and began to sing. She sang so softly that it was almost a whisper. It was the sweetest sound the woman had ever heard, almost like the song of a very small bird. After the child stopped singing she explained to the lady, "My mommy used to sing that song to me before she went away, and she made me promise to sing it whenever I started crying and it would make me stop." "See," she exclaimed, "it did, and now my eyes are dry!" As the woman turned to go, the little girl grabbed her sleeve, "Lady, can you stay just a minute? I want to show you something." "Of course," she answered, "what do you want me to see?" Pointing to a spot on her dress, she said, "Right here is where my Mommy kissed my dress, and here," pointing to another spot, "and here is another kiss, and here, and here," "Mommy said that she put all those kisses on my dress so that I would have her kisses for every boo-boo that made me cry." Then the lady realized that she wasn't just looking at a dress, no, she was looking at a Mother... Who knew that she was going away and would not be there to kiss away the hurts that she knew her daughter would get. So she took all the love she had for her beautiful little girl and put them into this dress, that her child now so proudly wore. She no longer saw a little girl in a simple dress. She saw a child wrapped... in her Mother's love.
Lamaze Class The room was full of pregnant women and their partners, and the Lamaze class was in full swing. The instructor was teaching the women how to breathe properly, along with informing the men how to give the necessary assurances at this stage of the plan. The teacher then announced, "Ladies, exercise is good for you. Walking is especially beneficial. And, gentlemen, it wouldn't hurt you to take the time to go walking with your partner!" The room really got quiet. Finally, a man in the middle of the group raised his hand. "Yes?" replied the teacher... ... "Is it all right if she carries a golf bag while we walk?"

Got My Promotion! Well I met with my department head yesterday morning. I got there bright and early. In fact, I was only 15 minutes late to work! "Joe, the position I have in mind for you was vacated by Peterson", the boss started explaining. "He had a master's degree, granted it was in English, but it was a master's degree none the less. In fact, everyone in that section has at least a master's degree." "Wow!" I thought, this is one smart section. "Your job," he continued explaining, "will be to allocate prepackaged energy units, via direct interface with internal customers." "Oh boy!" I exclaimed. Visions of power filled my head. I was finally going to be in charge of something besides the coffee maker. I get to allocate via direct interface! "You'll be working with some dangerous equipment, so that means no day dreaming!" He advised. "You'll need to wear some special clothing as well". "I'll be allocating via direct interface?" I asked, just to make sure I hadn't misunderstood. "That's right," he answered. "Mostly by saying would you like fries with that!?"
