QUOTES OF THE DAY
To be interested in the changing seasons is a happier state of mind than to be
hopelessly in love with spring. ~George Santayana
Happiness is an attitude. We either make ourselves miserable, or happy
and strong. The amount of work is the same. ~Francesca Reigler
If you don’t like something change it; if you can’t change it, change the
way you think about it. ~Mary Engelbreit
So often time it happens, we all live our life in chains, and we never
even know we have the key. ~The Eagles, “Already Gone”
He who has so little knowledge of human nature as to seek happiness
by changing anything but his own disposition will waste his life in
ruitless efforts. ~Samuel Johnson
G U A R A N T E D T O M A K E Y O U L A F F….
A certain English lady visited Switzerland and was having difficulty finding
a room, soshe asked the local schoolmaster to help her. After a satisfactory room had been found,
she returned to her home and did some packing. Suddenly, it occured to her that she hadn’t
noticed a W.C. (in England, the toilet is called a Water Closet), so she wrote the schoolmaster
about the W.C. The Schoolmaster, not knowing the meaning, asked the parish priest and
together they decided that it must mean “Wayside Chapel.” He wrote her the following letter:
Dear Madame, It is my pleasure to inform you that there is a W.C. just 9 miles from your home, in the center of a grove of pine trees. It seats 229 people, and it is open on Thursdays and Sundays. This is an unfortunate situation if you are in the habit of going regularly. You will, no doubt, be glad to hear that some people bring their lunches and make a day of it. I would especially recommend Thursdays, for then there is an Organ accompaniment. The accoustics in the W.C. are excellent; even the most delicate sound can be heard. My son was married in the W.C. and there was such a rush for seats that 10 people had to sit in the same seat. The looks on their faces were very interesting. My wife is sickly but dedicated. She doesn’t go regularly, and she hasn’t gone for nearly a year. I will be glad to reserve a seat in the W.C. for you, where you will be seen and heard by everyone. Hoping I have been of some assistance.
Sincerely yours, The Schoolmaster
