The Four Cats !

Four men were bragging about how smart their cats were.
The first man was an Engineer, the second man was an Accountant, the third man was a Chemist and the fourth man was a Government Employee.

To show off, the Engineer called his cat,  "T-square, do your stuff."
T-square pranced over to the desk, took out some paper and pen and promptly drew a circle, a square, and a triangle.

Everyone agreed that was pretty smart.


But the Accountant said his cat could do better.

He called his cat and said,  "Spreadsheet, do your stuff."
Spreadsheet went out to the kitchen and returned with a dozen cookies. He divided them into 4 equal piles of 3 cookies.............

Everyone agreed that was good.

But the Chemist said his cat could do better. He called his cat and said,  "Measure, do your stuff."
Measure got up, walked to the fridge, took out a quart of milk, got a 10 ounce glass from the cupboard and poured exactly 8 ounces without spilling a drop into the glass.

Everyone agreed that was pretty good.


Then the three men turned to the Government Employee and said, "What can your cat do?"

The Government Employee called his cat and said, "CoffeeBreak, do your stuff."
CoffeeBreak jumped to his feet,     

ate the cookies,  

drank the milk,  

shit on the paper,  

screwed the other three cats,  

claimed he injured his back while doing so,  

filed a grievance report for unsafe working conditions,        

put in for Workers Compensation, and            

went home for the rest of the day on sick leave.............

Age - Weight - etc
 
A Mom is driving her little girl to her friend's house to play.
"Mommy," the little girl asks, "How old are you?"
Mom:  "Honey, don't ask a lady her age," .
"Ok," the little girl says, "How much do you weigh?"
"Now stop the questions!"  These are personal questions and are really none of your business."
Undaunted, the little girl asks, "Why did you and daddy get a divorce?"
"That is enough questions!" The exasperated mother walks away as the two friends begin to play.
"My Mom wouldn't tell me anything" the little girl says to her friend.
"Well," said the friend, " .. all you need to do is look at her driver's license. It is like a report card, it has everything on it."
Later that night the little girl says to her mother, "I know how old you are, you are 32."
The mother is surprised and asks, "How did you find that out?"
"I also know that you weigh 140 pounds." The mother is past surprise and shock.  "How in heaven's name did you find that out?"
"Annnnd," the little girl says triumphantly, "I know why you and daddy got a divorce."
"Oh really?" the mother asks. "Why?"
"Because you got an F in sex."
God Bless You

 
Thimble
 
One day, when a seamstress was sewing while sitting close to a
river, her thimble fell into the river. When she cried out, the Lord appeared
and asked, "Why are you crying?"
The seamstress replied that her thimble
had fallen into the water and that she needed the thimble to help her husband
in making a living for the two of them.
The Lord went down into the water and reappeared with a golden
thimble.
"Is this your thimble?" the Lord asked. The seamstress replied, "No."
The Lord again went down and came up with a wooden thimble. "Is this your
thimble?"the Lord asked.
Again, the seamstress replied, "No." The Lord went
down again and came up with a silver thimble. "Is this your thimble?"
the Lord asked. The seamstress replied, "Yes."
The Lord was pleased with the woman's honesty and gave her all
three thimbles to keep, and the seamstress went home happy.
Some time later, the seamstress was walking with her husband along the riverbank, and
her husband fell into the river. When she cried out, The Lord again
appeared and asked her, Why are you crying?"
"Oh Lord, my husband has fallen intothe water!"
The Lord went down into the water and came up with Mel Gibson.
Is this your husband?" the Lord asked. "Yes," cried the
seamstress.The Lord was furious. "You lied! That is an untruth!" The seamstress
replied, "Oh, forgive me, my Lord. It is a misunderstanding. You
see, if I had said 'no' to Mel Gibson, you would have come up with Tom
Cruise.Then if I said 'no' to him, you would have come up with my husband. Had
I then said 'yes,' you would have given me all three. Lord, I'm not in the
best of health and would not be able to take care of all three husbands,
so THAT'S why I said 'yes' to Mel Gibson."
The moral of this story is: Whenever a woman lies, it's for a good
and honorable reason, and for the benefit of others.
That's our story, and we're sticking to it.

 
Who's in charge!
 
All the organs of the body were having a meeting, trying to decide who was the one in charge.
"I should be in charge," said the brain, "because I run all the body's systems, so without me nothing would happen."
"I should be in charge," said the blood, "because I circulate oxygen all over so without me you'd all waste away."
"I should be in charge," said the stomach," because I process food and give all of you energy."
"I should be in charge," said the legs, "because I carry the body wherever it needs to go."
"I should be in charge," said the eyes, "because I allow the body to see where it goes."
"I should be in charge," said the rectum, "because I'm responsible for waste removal."
All the other body parts laughed at the rectum and insulted him, so in a huff, he shut down tight.
Within a few days, the brain had a terrible headache, the stomach was bloated, the legs got wobbly, the eyes got watery, and the blood was toxic.
They all decided that the rectum should be the boss.
The Moral of the story?
The butt hole is usually in charge.  

Women in Afganistan
 
Barbara Walters did a story on gender roles in Kabul several years before the Afghan conflict. She noted that women customarily walked about 5 paces behind their spouse, as a sign of submission to the superiority of the husband.
She returned to Kabul recently and observed that women still walk behind their husbands, but now seem to walk even further back and are now happy with the old custom.
Ms. Walters approached one of the Afghani women and asked, "With the removal of the Taliban and the new government recognizing the equality of women, why do you now seem happy with the old custom that you used  to try and change?"
the woman said "Land mines!!!!"

Interview with God
 
I dreamed I had an interview with God.

So you would like to interview me? God asked.

If you have the time I said.

God smiled. My time is eternity.
What questions do you have in mind for me?

What surprises you most about humankind?

God answered...
That they get bored with childhood,
they rush to grow up, and then
long to be children again.

That they lose their health to make money...
and then lose their money to restore their health.

That by thinking anxiously about the future,
they forget the present,
such that they live in neither
the present nor the future.

"That they live as if they will never die,
and die as though they had never lived.

Gods hand took mine
and we were silent for a while.

And then I asked...
As a parent, what are some of lifes lessons
you want your children to learn?

To learn they cannot make anyone
love them. All they can do
is let themselves be loved.

To learn that it is not good
to compare themselves to others.

To learn to forgive
by practicing forgiveness.

To learn that it only takes a few seconds
to open profound wounds in those they love,
and it can take many years to heal them.

To learn that a rich person
is not one who has the most,
but is one who needs the least.

To learn that there are people
who love them dearly,
but simply have not yet learned
how to express or show their feelings.

To learn that two people can
look at the same thing
and see it differently.

To learn that it is not enough that they
forgive one another, but they must also forgive themselves.

"Thank you for your time," I said humbly.

"Is there anything else
you would like your children to know?"

God smiled and said,
Just know that I am here... always.

Psychological Test

It is a story about a girl. While at the funeral of her mother,
she met a man whom she did not know. She thought he was amazing,
her dream guy, and she fell in love with him but never asked for
his number and could not find him after the funeral.         

A few days later the girl killed her sister.


Question:

What was her motive in killing her sister?

Give this some thought before you scroll down
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Answer:

She was hoping that the guy would appear at the sister's funeral.


If you answered this correctly, you think like a psychopath. This was a
test that a famous American psychologist used to test if one has the
same mentality as a killer. Many arrested serial killers took this test
and answered it correctly.

If you didn't answer correctly, good for you.

If you DID answer correctly, please let me know so I can take you off my e-mail list.

16 Things that it took me over 50 years to learn

 

1. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.
 
2. If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be "Meetings"
 
3.There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness"

5. You should not confuse your career with your life

9. You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe daylight savings time.
 
10. You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests that you think she's pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment.
 
11. There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to make a big deal about your birthday. That time is age eleven.
 
12. The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age,gender,religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside,we ALL believe that we are above average drivers.
 
13. A person, who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person. (This is very important. Pay attention. It never fails.)
 
14. Your friends love you anyway
 
15. Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark. A large group of professionals built the Titanic.

 

 

 

A B C's TO LIVE BY

Although things are not perfect
Because of trial or pain
Continue in thanksgiving
Do not begin to blame
Even when the times are hard
Fierce winds are bound to blow
God is forever able
Hold on to what you know
Imagine life without His love
Joy would cease to be
Keep thanking Him for all the things
Love imparts to thee
Move out of "Camp Complaining"
No weapon that is known
On earth can yield the power
Praise can do alone
Quit looking at the future
Redeem the time at hand
Start every day with worship
To "thank" is a command
Until we see Him coming
Victorious in the sky
We'll run the race with gratitude
Xalting God most high
Yes, there'll be good times and yes some will be bad, but...
Zion waits in glory...where none are ever sad!
 
"I AM Too blessed to be stressed!" The shortest distance between a problem and a solution is the distance between your knees and the floor.
 
The one who kneels to the Lord can stand up to anything. Love and peace be with you forever, Amen.

P.U.S.H
 
 
A man was sleeping at night in his cabin when suddenly his room filled with light.
The Lord told the man he had work for him to do, and showed him a large rock in front of his cabin. The Lord explained that the man was to push against the rock with all his might. So, this the man did,day after day.
For many years he toiled from sun up to sun down;his shoulders set squarely against the cold, massive surface of the unmoving rock, pushing with all of his might.
Each night the man returned to his cabin sore and worn out, feeling that his whole day had been spent in vain.
       
Since the man was showing discouragement, the adversary (Satan)decided to enter the picture by placing thoughts into the weary mind: 
"you have been pushing against that rock for a long time, and it hasn't moved." 
      
Thus, giving the man the impression that the task was impossible and that he was a failure. These thoughts discouraged and disheartened the man. Satan said, "Why kill yourself over this?" "Just put in your time, giving just the minimum effort; and that will be good enough." That's what he planned to do, but decided to make it a matter of prayer and take his troubled thoughts to the Lord. 
      
"Lord," he said, "I have labored long and hard in your service,putting all my strength to do that which you have asked. Yet, after all this time, I have not even budged that rock by half a millimeter.
What is wrong? Why am I failing?" The Lord responded compassionately,
"My friend, when I asked you to serve Me and you accepted, I told you that your task was to push against the rock with all of your strength, which you have done. Never once did I mention to you that I expected you to move it. Your task was to push. And now you come to Me with your strength spent, thinking that you have failed. But, is that really so?
Look at yourself. Your arms are strong and muscled, your back sinewy and brown, your hands are callused from constant pressure, your legs have become massive and hard. Through opposition you have grown much,and your abilities now surpass that which you used to have. Yet you haven't moved the rock. But your calling was to be obedient and to push and to exercise your faith and trust in My wisdom. This you have done.
Now, my friend, I will move the rock." 
      
At times, when we hear a word from God, we tend to use our own intellect to decipher what He wants, when actually what God wants is just a simple obedience and faith in Him. By all means, exercise the faith that moves mountains, but know that it is still God who moves mountains.
 
When everything seems to go wrong ... just P.U.S.H.!        
When the job gets you down... just P.U.S.H.!
When people don't react the way you think they should.just
P.U.S.H.!
When your money is "gone" and the bills are due...just P.U.S.H!
When people just don't understand you ...just P.U.S.H.! 
       
P= Pray
U= Until
S= Something
H= Happens

Memo from God

 

To:                  YOU
Date:               TODAY
From:               GOD-The Boss!
Subject:
           YOURSELF
Reference:        LIFE
 

This is God.  Today I will be handling All of your problems for you.
I do Not need your help. So, have a nice day.
I love you.
GOD

P.S.  And, remember....
If life happens to deliver a situation to you that you can not handle, do Not attempt to resolve it yourself !! Kindly put it in the SFGTD (something for God to do) box.
I will get to it in MY TIME. All situations will be resolved, but in My time, not yours.           

P.P.S.
Once the matter is placed into the box, do not hold onto it by worrying about it. Instead, focus
on all the wonderful things that
are present in your life now.           

If you find yourself stuck in traffic; Don't despair. There are people in this world for whom driving is an unheard of privilege. 
      

Should you have a bad day at work; Think of the man who has been
out of work for years.       

Should you despair over a relationship gone bad; Think of the person who has never known what it's like to love and be loved in return.            

Should you grieve the passing of another weekend; Think of the woman in dire straits, working twelve hours a day, seven days a week to feed her children.      


Should your car break down, leaving you miles away from assistance; Think of the paraplegic who would love the opportunity to take that walk.           


Should you notice a new gray hair in the mirror; Think of the cancer patient in chemo who wishes she had hair to examine.           


Should you find yourself at a loss and pondering what is life all about, asking what is my purpose?
Be thankful. There are those who didn't live long enough to get the opportunity.            

Should you find yourself the victim of other people's bitterness, ignorance, smallness or insecurities; Remember, things could be worse. You could be one of them!

Should you decide to send this to a friend; Thank you, you may have touched their life in ways you will never know!

Now, you have a nice day,

God

God's Boxes

I have in my hands two boxes,
Which God gave me to hold.
He said, "Put all your sorrows in the black box,
And all your joys in the gold."
I heeded His words, and in the two boxes,
Both my joys and sorrows I stored,
But though the gold became heavier each day,
The black was as light as before.
With curiosity, I opened the black,
I wanted to find out why,
And I saw, in the base of the box, a hole,
Which my sorrows had fallen out by.
I showed the hole to God, and mused,
"I wonder where my sorrows could be!"
He smiled a gentle smile and said,
"My child, they're all here with me."
I asked God, why He gave me the boxes,
Why the gold and the black with the hole?
"My child, the gold is for you to count your blessings,
The black is for you to let go."
 

King and his four wives

Once upon a time there was a rich King who had four wives. He loved the 4th wife the most and adorned her with rich robes and treated her to the finest of delicacies. He gave her nothing but the best.

He also loved the 3rd wife very much and was always showing her off to neighboring kingdoms.  However, he feared that one day she would leave him for another.

He also loved his 2nd wife. She  was his confidant and was always kind,considerate and patient with him. Whenever the King faced a problem, he could confide in her, and she would help him get through the difficult times.

The King's 1st wife was a very loyal partner and had made great contributions in maintaining his wealth and kingdom. However, he did not love the first wife. Although she loved him deeply, he hardly took notice of her!

One day, the King fell ill and he knew his time was short. He thought of his luxurious life and wondered, "I! now have four wives with me, but when I die, I'll be all alone." Thus, he asked the 4th wife, "I have loved you the most, endowed you with the finest clothing and showered great care over you.
Now that I'm dying, will you follow me and keep me company?"

"No way!", replied the 4th wife, and she walked away without another word.

Her answer cut like a sharp knife right into his heart. The sad King then asked the 3rd wife, "I have loved you all my life. Now that I'm dying, will you follow me and keep me company?"

"No!", replied the 3rd wife. "Life is too good!  When you die, I'm going to remarry!" His heart sank and turned cold.

He then asked the 2nd wife, "I have always turned to you for help and you've always been there for me. When I die, will you follow me and keep me company?"

"I'm sorry, I can't help you out this time!", replied the 2nd wife. "At the very most, I can only send you to your grave."

Her answer came like a bolt of lightning, and the King was devastated.

Then a voice called out: "I'll leave with you and follow you no matter where you go."

The King looked up, and there was his first wife. She was so skinny as she suffered from malnutrition and neglect.

Greatly grieved, the King said, "I should have taken much better care of you when I had the chance!"

In truth, we all have 4 wives in our lives: Our 4th wife is our body. No matter how much time and effort we lavish in making it look good, it will leave us when we die. Our 3rd wife is our possessions, status and wealth.
When we die, it will all go to others. Our 2nd wife is our family and friends. No matter how much they have been there for us, the furthest they can stay by us is up to the grave.

And our 1st wife is our Soul. Often neglected in pursuit of wealth, power and pleasures of the world.  However, our Soul is the only thing that will follow us wherever we go. Cultivate, strengthen and cherish it now, for it is the only part of us that will follow us to the throne of God and continue with us throughout Eternity.

When the world pushes you to your knees.....You're in the perfect position to pray.
