Actually mumsie wanted to 'share' the following with all of you last week but just didn't get round to doing it...So mumsie add in this weeks 'sharing' too....Got them together with the Sunday's bulletin.
WHY MEN ARE HAPPIER......
MEN : When the bill arrives, Mike, Dave and John will each throw in $20/- , even though it's only $32.s0. None of them will have anything smaller and none will actually admit they want change back.
WOMEN : When the girls get their bill, out come the pocket calculators.
MEN : Will pay $2/- for a $1/ item he needs (had to admit ..so like dadda)
WOMEN: Will pay $1/- for a $2/- item that she doesn't need but it's on sale. (so like mumsie)
MEN : Have seven items in his bathroom: tooth brush and toothpaste, shaving cream, razor, a bar of soap, deodorant and a towel.
WOMEN: The average number of items in the typical woman's bathroom is 37
MEN : Will let the woman have the last word in any argument.
WOMEN: Anything a man says after that is the begining of a new argument.
MEN: Never worries about the future until he gets a wife.
WOMEN: Worries about the future until she gets a husband.
MEN: Is only successful if he makes more money than his wife can spend.
WOMEN: Is only successful if she can find such a man.
MEN: A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, but she does.
WOMEN: A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't.
MEN: Will dress up for weddings and funeral.
WOMEN: Will dress up to go shopping, water the plants, empty the trash, answer the phone,
read a book and get the mail.
MEN: Wake up looking as they did at bedtime.
WOMEN: Somehow deteriorate during the night.
MEN: Are vaguely aware of some short people living in the house.
WOMEN: Knows all about her children. She knows about the dentist appointments and
romances, best friends, favourite foods, secret fears and hopes and dreams.
A married man should forget his mistakes. There's no use in two people remembering the
same thing!!!!!!
NOW THIS IS THIS WEEK'S "SHARING"
THE BRICK
A successful executive was travelling down a neighbourhood street. Suddenly, a brick smashed into his Jaguar's side door!!
He slammed on the brakes and backed the Jag to the spot where the brick had been thrown. The angry driver then jumped out of the car and grabbed the nearest kid. Pusing him up against a parked car he shouted, "What was that all about and who are you?! That's a new car and that brick you threw is going to cost a lot of money."
The young boy was apologetic and tearful. "Please, I'm sorry mister but I didn't know what else to do. I threw the brick because no one else would stop..." The youth pointed to a spot just around a parked car. "It's my brother, he rolled off the curb and fell out of his wheelchair and I can't lift him up."
Now sobbing, the boy asked the stunned executive, "Would you please help me get him back into wheelchair? He's hurt and too heavy for me."
The driver tried to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. He hurriedly lifted the handicapped boy back into the wheelchair then took out a linen handkerchief and dabbed at the fresh scrapes and cuts. A quick look told him everything was going to be okay. "Thank you and God bless you," the grateful child told the stranger. Too shook up for words, the man simply watched the boy push his wheelchair-bound brother down the sidewalk toward their home.
It was a long, slow walk back to the Jaguar. The damage was very noticeable but the driver never bothered to repair the dented side door. He kept the dent there to remind him of this message:
' Don't go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to get your attention!"
