Your Daily Prescription for Laughs...
A little girl walked daily to and from school.
Though the weather
one morning was questionable and clouds were forming, she made the daily
trek to the elementary school. As the day progressed, the
winds whipped up, along with thunder and lightning. The mother was
worried that her daughter would be frightened walking back home
from school, and she herself feared the electrical storm might cause
her harm. Following each roar of the thunder, lightning would cut
through the sky like a flaming sword. Being very concerned, the
mother got into her car and drove along the route to the school.
Soon she saw her small child walking along. The thunder would boom, and
then, at each flash of lightning, the child would stop, look
and smile. One followed another, each time with her child stopping,
looking up at the streak of light and smiling. Finally, the mother
called out and asked, "Honey, what are you doing?" Her little girl
answered, "God keeps taking pictures of me!"
Two men are sitting drinking at a bar at the top of the Empire State
Building when the first man turns to the other and says, "You know,
last week I discovered that if you jump from the top of this building,
by the time you fall to the 10th floor, the winds around the building
are so intense that they carry you around the building and back into
the window."
The bartender just shakes his head in
disapproval while wiping the
bar.
The second guy says, "What are you a nut?
There is no way that could happen." "No, it's true," said the
first man, let me prove it to you." He gets up from the bar, jumps over
the balcony, and plummets to the street below. When he passes the 10th
floor, the high wind whips him around the building and back into the 10th
floor window and he takes the elevator back up to the bar. He met the second
man, who looked quite astonished. "You know, I saw that with my own
eyes, but that must have been a one time fluke."
"No, I'll prove it again," says the
first man as he jumps. Again just
as he is hurling toward the street, the 10th floor wind gently carries
him around the building and into the window.
Once upstairs he urges his fellow drinker to try
it. "Well, what the
hey," the second guy says, "it works, I'll try it!" He jumps
over the
balcony plunges downward, passes the 11th, 10th, 9th, 8th floors
...and hits the sidewalk with a 'splat.' Back upstairs the Bartender
turns to the other drinker, saying "You know, Superman, sometimes you
can be a real jerk."
