Look out for The Last Story.....
It Will Pull Your Socks Up!!!!
Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once
Talked about a contest he was asked to judge.
The purpose of the
Contest was to find the most caring child.
The winner was:
A four - year - old child, whose next door
neighbor was an elderly gentleman, who had
recently lost his
wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy
went into the old
Gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just
sat there.
When hismother asked him what he had
said to the neighbor, the little boy just said,
'Nothing, I just
Helped him cry.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Teacher Debbie Moon's first graders were
discussing a picture of a family. One little boy in
the picture
had a different hair color than the other
members. One of her
students suggested that he was adopted.
A little girl said, 'I know all about
Adoption, I was adopted...'
'What does it mean to be adopted ?' asked
another child.
'It means', said the girl, 'that you grew
in your mommy's heart instead of her tummy!'
------------------------------------------------------------------------
On my way home one day, I stopped to
watch a Little League baseball game that was
being played in a
park near my home. As I sat down behind the
bench on the first - base line,
I asked one of the boys what the score was
'We're behind 14 to nothing,' he answered
With a smile.
'Really,' I said. 'I have to say you
don't look very discouraged.'
'Discouraged ?', the boy asked with a
Puzzled look on his face.....
'Why should we be discouraged ? We haven't
Been up to bat yet.'
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Whenever I'm disappointed with my spot
in life, I stop and think about little Jamie Scott.
Jamie was trying out for a part in the
school play. His mother told me that he'd set his
heart on being
in it, though she feared he would not be chosen.
On the day the parts were awarded, I went
with her to collect him after school. Jamie
rushed up to her,
eyes shining with pride and excitement... 'Guess
what, Mom, 'he
shouted, and then said those words that will
remain a lesson to
me.... 'I've been chosen to clap and cheer.'
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
An eye witness account from New York
City, on a cold day in December,
some years ago: A little boy,
about 10 - years - old, was standing before a shoe
store on the
roadway, barefooted, peering through the
window, and shivering
With cold.
A lady approached the young boy and said,
'My, but you're in such deep thought staring in
that window!'
'I was asking God to give me a pair of
shoes, 'was the boy's reply.
The lady took him by the hand, went into
the store, and asked the clerk to get half a dozen
pairs of socks
for the boy. She then asked if he could give her a
basin of water
and a towel. He quickly brought them to her.
She took the little fellow to the back
part of the store and, removing her gloves, knelt
down, washed
his little feet, and dried them with the towel.
By this time, the clerk had returned with
the socks... Placing a pair upon the boy's feet, she
purchased him
a pair of shoes...
She tied up the remaining pairs of socks
and gave them to him... She patted him on the
head and said, 'No
doubt, you will be more comfortable now.'
As she turned to go, the astonished kid
caught her by the hand, and looking up into her
face, with tears
in his eyes, asked her.
'Are you God's wife ?'

Hope this put a smile on your face it
Sure did mine!

BOTTLE OF WINE
(Women will LOVE this one)
A woman and a man are involved in a car accident on a snowy, cold Monday morning; it's a bad one. Both of their cars are totally demolished, but amazingly neither of them is hurt. God works in mysterious ways. After they crawl out of their cars, the man is yelling about women drivers.The woman says, 'So, you're a man. That's interesting. I'm a woman. Wow, just look at our cars! There's nothing left, but we're unhurt. This must be a sign from God that we should be friends in peace for the rest of our days.' Flattered, the man replies, 'Oh yes, I agree completely, this must be a sign from God! But you're still at fault....women shouldn't be allowed to drive.' The woman continues, 'And look at this, here's another miracle. My car is completely demolished but this bottle of wine didn't break. Surely God wants us to drink this wine and celebrate our good fortune. She hands the bottle to the man.
The man nods his head in agreement, opens it and drinks half the bottle and then hands it back to the woman. The woman takes the bottle, puts the cap back on and hands it back to the man. The man asks, 'Aren't you having any ?' The woman replies, 'No. I think I'll just wait for the police....'
MORAL OF THE STORY:
Women are clever, evil bitches.
Don't mess with them.
your feet hit the floor in the morning,
Satan shudders and says....
'Oh shit....she's awake!!!!

LESBIANS JOKE
The lesbians next door asked me what I would like for my birthday.
I was quite surprised when they gave me a Rolex.
It was very nice of them, but I think they misunderstood me when I said, "I wanna watch."
