The brain is a wonderful organ. It starts working the moment you get up in the morning and
does not stop until you get into the office.
~ Robert Frost ~
When a man tells you that he got rich through hard work, ask him: 'Whose?'.

It is impossible to enjoy idling thoroughly unless one has plenty of work to do.
~ Jerome K. Jerome ~
I don't want to achieve immortality through my work... I want to achieve it through not
dying.
~ Woody Allen ~
Hard work never killed anybody, but why take a chance?
~ Charlie McCarthy (Edgar Bergen) ~
su·per·flu·i·ty
noun, plural. su·per·flu·i·ties. 1. The quality or condition of being
superfluous. 2. Something superfluous: could do without such superfluities as a second
car. 3. Overabundance; excess
He was a man to whom memories were an incumbrance, and anticipations a superfluity.
Simply feeling, considering, and caring for what was before his eyes, he was vulnerable
only in the present. His outlook upon time was as a consciousness into days gone by and to
come, which makes the past a synonym for the pathetic and the future a word for
circumspection, was foreign to Troy. With him the past was yesterday; the future,
to-morrow; never, the day after.
FAR FROM THE MADDING CROWD
by Thomas Hardy
Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and
receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
James1:21

The Furries It seems that when the astronauts landed on the moon they were met by a group of small fuzzy creatures known as "Furries." The King Furry introduced himself and offered the earthlings a tour of the underground kingdom. After visiting the mall, parks and schools, they were taken on a tour of the hospital. It was a fine facility but the astronauts did notice a small furry sitting in a corner with a hypodermic needle sticking out of its head. Curious about that, they asked the King what was wrong with that particular furry. "Why, nothing. Thats just a Furry with a syringe on the top." SOURCE: Shirley pnst@voicenet.com VIA Bill's Punch Line. Long ago there was a kingdom where the King wore a brightly colored vest instead of a crown. The vest was adorned with all different colors of berries to make it beautiful. Maintaining this vest was difficult because it needed freshening daily. His people would go into the mountains with big nets. They would throw the nets over the berry bushes, and snare the fresh berries for the King. The people valued and honored this vest as the symbol of the throne. One day the colors on the King's vest were fading badly. The people were asked to bring in fresh berries, but there were none to be had. The King looked very bad, so much so that he so he issued this proclamation: ... "A reward will be paid for those who snare enough to mend the berry vest." (By Harry Tilden) A wealthy man bought a ranch in Kentucky, bought several promising young thoroughbred horses, and hired some experts to raise them while he followed other pursuits. He quickly found, however, that the money flow was only in one direction, out of his pocket. He decided to make a surprise visit to his ranch, and found to his horror, that he had been financing a gentle retirement home for lazy race horses. Each horse gave clear evidence of living a wholly sedentary life. The horses were grossly overweight. Moreover, they were so unused to moving rapidly that many small birds had built nests in their hair, and these birds were busy raising their young. He was incensed and fired all his ranch hands. Next, he grabbed a ladder and garden rake, and he started cleaning up his horses, removing the bird nests from off their backs. In his anger, he gave these now immortal instructions to his new helpers: "BEAST IS BEAST, AND NEST IS NEST, AND NEVER THE MANE SHALL TWEET!" TRUE FACT ... Humans begin laughing at two to three months of age. Six year olds laugh about 300 times per day, while adults laugh from 15 to 100 times per day. |
