quote
To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.

Today's Fact

 

  
 

Too 
Much 
Money !
           

In 1836, the US Congress faced an unusual problem. It seems that during the administration of Andrew Jackson of that year, the government had accumulated a surplus of $37 million. Congress debated what to do with the surplus money. It was decided to refund the money to the states in proportion to their representation in Congress.

The following year the panic of 1837 hit and revenues decreased. The United States federal government would never again be burdened with a budget surplus. The federal deficit started in 1837, and it has never been eliminated.

A cheerful heart is good medicine,
but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.

Restaurant Jokes

An Englishman goes to a restaurant with his wife. After looking at the menu, he then calls the waiter over to order. - "I'll have the sirloin steak and a glass of red wine."

"But... what about the mad cow?!" the waiter gasps.

"Oh, and she'll have the fish."

"Waiter, what's this terrible stuff?" asked the hungry patron.

"Sir, that is fillet of sole." the waiter calmly replied.

"Then, please, go back and get me a nice tender piece from the top of the shoe."

"The child was a typical four-year-old girl - cute, inquisitive, bright as a new penny.

When she expressed difficulty in grasping the concept of marriage, her father decided to pull out his wedding photo album, thinking visual images would help.

One page after another, he pointed out the bride arriving at the church, the entrance, the wedding ceremony, the recessional, the reception, etc.

"Now do you understand?" he asked.

"I think so," she said, "is that when mommy came to work for us?"

How do you keep an idiot busy for hours?
