31st May 2012 Parrot, Anniversary, Funeral

May 31A
** Mama's Parrot **
Police called out to investigate reports of a young child left home alone found a talking parrot instead. Police were called to the house in Koblenz, Germany, by an elderly lady who said she could hear a child next door constantly screaming, "Mama, Mama". The woman felt the child must have been left home alone as nobody was answering the cries. 


When officers broke into the house they found the cries were coming from a 25-year-old talking parrot.

** Happy Anniversary! **
A couple goes out to dinner to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. On the way home, she notices a tear in his eye and asks if he's getting sentimental because they're celebrating 50 wonderful years together. He replies, 


"No, I was thinking about the time before we got married. Your father threatened me with a shotgun and said he'd have me thrown in jail for 50 years if I didn't marry you. Tomorrow I would've been a free man!"

** Congratulations ** - Stolen from Mick
A new business was opening, and one of the owner’s friends sent flowers for the occasion. But when the owner read the card with the flowers, it said. “Rest in Peace” 


The owner was quite upset and called the florist to complain. After he had told the florist about the obvious mistake, the florist said, 


“Sir, I’m really sorry for the mistake, but rater than getting angry, you should imagine this: Somewhere there is a funeral taking place today, and they have flowers with a note saying, 


“Congratulations on you new location.”

31st May 2012 Life's Choices ...

May 31

Many of us must have at one time or another imagined what our life would have been like, had we chosen a different direction this or that way, when we first set out on our life's journey as an adult, instead of the one we had taken.

I believe this doesn't just happen to people who are not happy or content with their spouse, partner, job, career, or how life had generally turned out. Those who are blessed with a satisfactory life too think about it I am sure, as a way to reconfirm a decision well made, by wisdom, impulse or based on calculated risk. Or the ones who had at times thought of making a major life change but had decided , for better or worse, not to, for which they now have proven reason to congratulate themselves for their own foresight and decisiveness.

What about all those twist and turns, crossed roads, fork junctions, temptations and disastrous traps dotted along the path of life? Each and everyone of them need our decisions to follow or avoid. Have we made the right choices? The answers, alas, take time to show. Years or even a whole life time. When they do, you laugh, or cry, but in either case your destiny is set.

Until you go ahead, and make yet another choice. There are always choices even though they might not be obvious.
