Quote: "The only way to do great work is to love what you do."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A dog ran into a butcher shop and grabbed a roast off the counter. Fortunately, the butcher recognized the dog as belonging to a neighbor of his. The neighbor happened to be a lawyer.

Incensed at the theft, the butcher called up his neighbor and said, "Hey, if your dog stole a roast from my butcher shop, would you be liable for the cost of the meat?" The lawyer replied, "Of course, how much was the roast?" "$7.98."

A few days later the butcher received a check in the mail for $7.98. Attached to it was an invoice that read: Legal Consultation Service: $150 .
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Two anthropologists fly to the south sea islands to study the natives. They go to two adjacent islands and set to work. A few months later one of them takes a canoe over to the other island to see how his colleague is doing. When he gets there, he finds the other anthropologist standing among a group of natives.

"Greetings! How is it going?" says the visiting anthropologist.

"Wonderful!" says the other, "I have discovered an important fact about the local language! Watch!"

He points at a palm tree and says, "what is that?"
The natives, in unison, say "Umbalo-gong!"
He then points at a rock and says, "and that?"
The natives again intone "Umbalo-gong!"

"You see!", says the beaming anthropologist, "They use the SAME word for 'rock' and for 'palm tree'!"

"That is truly amazing!" says the astonished visiting anthropologist, "On the other island, the same word means 'index finger'!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The linguist's husband walked in and caught his wife sleeping with a young co-ed.

He said, "Why, Susan, I'm surprised."

She bolted upright, pointed her finger and corrected him, "No. I am surprised. You are astonished."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What do you give a nine-hundred-pound gorilla for her birthday?

I do not know, but you hope she enjoys it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Look, guide, here are some LION tracks."

"Good. You see where they go and I'll find out where they came from."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Those three boys are in the schoolyard bragging of how great their fathers are.

The first one says: "Well, my father runs the fastest. He can fire an arrow, and start to run, I tell you, he gets there before the arrow".

The second one says: "Ha! You think that's fast! My father is a hunter. He can shoot his gun and be there before the bullet".

The third one listens to the other two and shakes his head. He then says: "You two know nothing about fast. My father is a civil servant. He stops working at 4:30 and he is home by 3:45"!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A man was recently flying to New York. He decided to strike up a conversation with his seat mate. "I've got a great policeman joke. Would you like to hear it?"

"I should let you know first that I am a policeman."

"That's OK. I'll tell it really slow!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wayne was returning home from a business trip... bags in hand ... and slowly making his way to his vehicle in the crowded airport garage.

Suddenly a large dark car screeched to a stop in front of Wayne, and the driver pointed menacingly at him. “Get in,” the driver ordered. “I’ll take you to your car.”

Startled, Wayne took a step backward. “Ah ... no thanks,” he answered.“ I can get there myself.”

“No,” the man barked back as he threw open his passenger side door. “Get In !”

Wayne’s eyes now darted around the garage, hoping to find a security guard.

Just then, the driver’s face softened ..... “Please,” he said, “I’ve been driving up and down for two hours. I can’t find a space to park and I want yours.
~~~~~~~~~~~

Don't LOOK at anything in a physics lab.
Don't TASTE anything in a chemistry lab.
Don't SMELL anything in a biology lab.
Don't TOUCH anything in a medical lab.
and, most importantly,
Don't LISTEN to anything in a philosophy department.

Donald MacDonald from the Isle of Skye was admitted to Oxford University, and was now living in his first year of residence there. His clan was very excited that one of their own had made it into the upper class of education, but were concerned how he'd do in "that strange land." After the first month, his mother came to visit, with reinforcements of whiskey and oatmeal.

"And how do you find the English students, Donald?" she asked.

"Oh, Mother," he replied, shaking his head sadly, "they're such terrible, noisy people: The one on that side keeps banging his head against the wall, and won't stop; and the one on the other side screams and screams and screams away into the night."

"But Donald! How do you manage with those dreadful noisy English neighbors?"

"Well, mother, I just ignore 'em. I just stay here quietly, playing my bagpipes..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~

After his wife divorced him, Joe asked his best friend, Bill, to fix him up with a blind date. Bill obliged. The next day Joe called up Bill and shouted at him angrily: "Bill, what kind of a guy do you think I am. That girl you fixed me up with was cross-eyed; she was almost bald; her nose was long, thin and crooked; she had hair growing on her face; she was flat chested; and her ankles were as thick as her thighs".

Bill answered: "Either you like Picasso, or you don't like Picasso."
~~~~~~~~~~~~

The professor of a contract law class asked one of his better students, "If you were to give someone an orange, how would you go about it?"

The student replied, "Here's an orange."

The professor was outraged. "No! No! Think like a lawyer!"

The student then replied, "Okay. I'd tell him `I hereby give and convey to you all and singular, my estate and interests, rights, claim, title, claim and advantages of and in, said orange, together with all its rind, juice, pulp, and seeds, and all rights and advantages with full power to bite, cut, freeze and otherwise eat, the same, or give the same away with and without the pulp, juice, rind and seeds, anything herein before or hereinafter or in any deed, or deeds, instruments of whatever nature or kind whatsoever to the contrary in anywise notwithstanding...'"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Judge: "Have you anything to offer to this Court before I pass sentence?"

Defendant: "No your honor, my lawyer took every penny."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fantastic Friday the 13th ya'll puppy

Been up, been busy, am freezing. I've got on my cold weather pants, socks and shoes!!!! and my warm, fuzzy housecoat, but my feet are still freezing sad They have been saying the "S" word for the northern areas of AL.

BrightHouse finally sent some guys out to bury the cable lines in our back yard. I kid you not, they've been on top of the ground for years and years and years. The guys had to walk through the house to get to the back yard. I told 'em I'd leave the door unlocked so they could come on through when they were done, but they declined the honor. Said they'd rather I walked them through. lol

I've been researching Nettle tea this morning and seasoning an iron skillet. Going to head to the kitchen which is warmer because the oven is on and the floor is not cement, and make smoothies. Back later wave

It's a beautiful day here, and as soon as I got home I headed out on a long walk with Baby. lab

After that I came back and had some dinner. bravo

My work day was hustle, bustle, rush rush rush, and I am so happy to be off for two days. woot

I hope you're all having a great day. yes

Ana that parrot is a riot. lol

I hope he calms down and lets his feathers grow back. Naked birds look so pathetic. smirk

I think I'm ready for a nap. wink

Are we ready for the weekend?

I made oven steak, and in the midst of prep got distracted and Skymonkey fed himself! Baaaaaaaaaaaad dog puppy

But dinner is over, kitchen is cleaned, we are all fed, and now may head upstairs and watch "Oliver makes bad decisions" for awhile (son's name for Green Arrow).

Also reading a new book by Greg Isles (I think). Sigh...remember when I could keep all those names in my head. Not anymore rotfl

He's probably traumatized, distressed, and insecure from all the changes Ana.

I had my nap, and then took my shower, and I feel refreshed and renewed now. yay

Time for bed. lol

It was 23 years ago that the family divorced, so I don't think he's stressed anymore Joe.

They usually pull their feathers out when they're stressed about something, or depressed.
