Gratefulness is the key to a happy life that we hold in our hands, because if we are not grateful, then no matter how much we have we will not be happy -- because we will always want to have something else or something more.

Piggy was in a very foul mood for the rest of the day and when a new boy came up at recess to play, Piggy sidled up to him and asked gruffly:

‘What’s your name?” to which the impudent new kid replied, “PUDDIN ‘N’ TAME, ast me agin an’ I’ll tell you the same!” and then there was a fight.

Survival kit contents check.
In them you will find….

One forty-five caliber automatic,
Two boxes of ammunition,
Four days' concentrated emergency rations,
One drug issue containing antibiotics, morphine, vitamin pills, pep pills, sleeping pills, tranquilizer pills,
One miniature combination Russian phrase book and Bible,
One hundred dollars in rubles,
One hundred dollars in gold,
Nine packs of chewing gum,
One issue of prophylactics,
Three lipsticks,
Three pair of nylon stockings.

Shoot, a feller could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff!!

Farther out than inevitable,
Halloween be thy game
Sky King is come, and Wilma's done,
Uncertain as it is uneven
Give us this day hors d'oevres in bed,
And forgive those who have dressed up against us
For wine is the shingle,
And amor,
And a story for your father.

All Right!!

"You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it."

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

A very gentle older Texas lady was driving
across a high bridge in Texas one day.

As she neared the top of the bridge, she noticed

a young man fixin' (means 'getting ready to' in Texas ) to jump.

She stopped her car, rolled down the window and said,
"Please don't jump, think of your dear mother and father."

He replied, "Mom and Dad are both dead;
I'm going to jump."

She said, "Well, think of your wife and children."

He replied, "I'm not married and I don't have any kids."

She said, "Well, Remember the Alamo ..."

He replied, ''What's the Alamo ?''

She replied, ''Well bless your heart, just go ahead
and jump, you dumb Yankee.''
