Deep Thoughts for the Weekend….
I hope if dogs ever take over the world, and they choose a king, I hope they don’t
just go by size, because I bet there are some Chihuahuas with some good ideas.
It takes a big man to cry, but it takes an even bigger man to laugh at that man.
I’d rather be rich than stupid.
I guess we were all guilty, in a way. We all shot him, we all skinned him, and we
all got a complimentary bumper sticker that read, “I helped skin Bob.”
I bet the main reason the police keep people away from a plane crash is they don’t
want anybody walking in and lying down in some crash stuff, then, when somebody
comes up, act like they just woke up and go, “What was THAT?!”
The face of a child can say it all, especially the mouth part of the face.
If you define cowardice as running away at the first sign of danger, screaming and
tripping and begging for mercy, then yes, Mr. Brave Man, I guess I am a coward.
Ambition is like a frog sitting on a Venus Flytrap. The flytrap can bite and bite, but it
won’t bother the frog because it only has little tiny plant teeth. But some other
stuff could happen and it would be like ambition.
Hey I’m just saying! That’s my story and I’m sticking to it! Have a
great weekend people and whatever you do, don’t forget
to laff it up! Peace, I am outta here! Eucman!

Guaranteed to Roll Your Eyes….
My dear friend, a divorcee, never remarried, and her daughter wanted to know why.
“The men I know would bring too much heavy baggage to the marriage and I simply
don’t want to put up with it,” she explained. Taking her mother’s hand in hers, my friend’s daughter said sweetly, “I hate to break the news to you, Mom, but you’re not exactly carry-on yourself.” 😁😎

Thursday’s Quizzler is….
Emperor Akbar once ruled over India. He was a wise and intelligent ruler, and he had in his court the Nine Gems, his nine advisors, who were each known for a particular skill. One of these Gems was Birbal, known for his wit and wisdom. The story below is one of the examples of his wit. Do you have it in you to find out the answer?
The King of a distant land had heard that Birbal was one of the wisest men in the East and so desired to meet Birbal. He sent Birbal an invitation to visit his country.
In due course, Birbal arrived in the distant kingdom. When he entered the palace he was flabbergasted to find not one but six kings seated there. All looked alike. All were dressed in kingly robes. Who was the real king?
The very next moment he got his answer. Confidently, he approached the king and bowed to him.
How did Birbal know who was the real king?
Answer: The king, puzzled and shocked by this instant discovery asked Birbal, “But how did you identify me?”
Birbal explained: “The false kings were all looking at you, while you yourself looked straight ahead. Even in
regal robes, the common people will always look to their king for support.”
Overjoyed, the king embraced Birbal and showered him with gifts.
Friday’s Quizzler is…….
As part of a lesson the Middle Ages, a ninth-grade teacher spent a day teaching about medieval heraldry. To spice things up, he offered extra credit to any student who took the time to research his or her family history. The students’ enthusiasm made the lesson a success. From the information provided, can you determine the crest and motto belonging to the family of each student?
First Names: Fiona, Howard, Missy, Paul, Shannon
Last Names: Cole, Killman, Nathanson, Ruff, Zeigler
Crest: griffin, helmet, mastiff, rising sun, three stars
Motto: Ad Finem Fidelis, Ex Merito, In Veritate Victoria, Omnia Pro Bono, Te Ipsum Nosce
1. The family crest of the student surnamed Nathanson (who isn’t Shannon) depicts three stars.
2. Fiona Kilmann’s family crest depicts a rising sun, but isn’t the one inscribed with the motto “Ex Merito” (which means “With Merit”).
3. Shannon’s family’s motto is “In Veritate Victoria” (which means “Victory in Truth”).
4. Missy’s family’s motto is “Omnia Pro Bono” (which means “All Things for Good”).
5. The student surnamed Zeigler isn’t the one whose family crest is a helmet.
6. Howard Cole’s family crest depicts a griffin.
7. The crest depicting a mastiff is inscribed with the motto “Ad Finem Fidelis” (which means “Faithful to the End”).
