21st June 2011 The Sneeze

They walked in tandem, each of the ninety-two students filing into the already crowded auditorium. With their rich maroon gowns flowing and the traditional caps, they looked almost as grown up as they felt.

Dads swallowed hard behind broad smiles, and Moms freely brushed away tears. 
 
This class would NOT pray during the commencements, not by choice, but because of a recent court ruling prohibiting it.

The principal and several students were careful to stay within the guidelines allowed by the ruling. They gave inspirational and challenging speeches, but no one mentioned divine guidance and no one asked for blessings on the graduates or their families.

The speeches were nice, but they were routine until the final speech received a standing ovation.

A solitary student walked proudly to the microphone. He stood still and silent for just a moment, and then, it happened. All 92 students, every single one of them, suddenly SNEEZED!!!! 
 
The student on stage simply looked at the audience and said,
'GOD BLESS YOU'. And he walked off the stage ...

The audience exploded into applause. This graduating class had found a unique way to invoke God's blessing on their future with or without the court's approval. 
 
Isn't this a wonderful story? A true story!  Pass it on to all your friends ... and
GOD BLESS YOU!!!!

21st June 2011 Giggles - When It Snows In Ireland ...

One winter morning a husband and wife in Cornerbrook were listening to the radio during  breakfast. They  heard the announcer say, "We are going to have 8 to 10 inches of snow today... You must park your car on the even-numbered side of the street, so the snowploughs can get through." So the good wife went out and moved her car.

A week later while they are eating breakfast again, the radio announcer said, "We are expecting 10 to 12 inches of snow today. You must park your car on the odd-numbered side of the street, so the snowploughs can get through." The good wife went out and moved her car again.

 

The next week at breakfast, when the radio announcer says, "We are expecting 12 to 14 inches of snow today. You must park..."  Then the electric power went out. The good wife was very upset, and with a worried look on her face she said, "Honey, I don't know what to do. Which side of the street do I need to park on so the snowploughs can get through?"

With the love and understanding in his voice, that all men who are married to GOOD Irish WOMEN exhibit, the husband replied, "Why don't you just leave it in the garage this time?"

21st June 2011 Giggles - Pharmaceutical Advertising

I am sure you have seen pharmaceutical advertising in doctors' offices on everything from tissues to note pads. This one should get first prize ...

I e-mailed it to my Chinese doctor friend; he e-mailed back: 'If light stays on more than 4 hours, call erectrician.'
