WELC0ME to FRIDAY January 12. 2024
Here’s The Story…..
A boss wondered why one of his most valued employees had not
phoned in sick one day. Having an urgent problem with one of
the main computers, he dialed the employee’s home phone
number and was greeted with a child’s whisper.
“Hello.”
“Is your daddy home?” he asked.
“Yes,” whispered the small voice.
“May I talk with him?”
The child whispered, “No.”
Surprised and wanting to talk with an adult, the boss asked,
“Is your Mommy there?”
“Yes.”
“May I talk with her?”
Again the small voice whispered, “No.”
Hoping there was somebody with whom he could leave a message,
the boss asked, “Is anybody else there?”
“Yes,” whispered the child, “a policeman”
Wondering what a cop would be doing at his employee’s home,
the boss asked, “May I speak with the policeman?”
“No, he’s busy”, whispered the child.
“Busy doing what?”
“Talking to Daddy and Mommy and the Fireman,” came the whispered
answer. Growing more worried as he heard what sounded like a
helicopter through the earpiece on the phone, the boss asked,
“What is that noise?”
“A helicopter,” answered the whispering voice.
“What is going on there?” demanded the boss, now truly
apprehensive.
Again, whispering, the child answered, “The search team
just landed the helicopter.”
Alarmed, concerned and a little frustrated the boss asked,
“What are they searching for?”
Still whispering, the young voice replied with a muffled
giggle, “Me.” 😳😳😳😎
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it! Have a GREAT WEEKEND, people, stay safe,
and whatever you do, don’t forget to laff it up! Peace, I am outta here! Eucman! 😁

Guaranteed to Roll Your Eyes
Millions of years ago, there was no such thing as the wheel.
One day, some primitive guys were watching their wives drag
a dead mastodon to the food & fire area. It was exhausting
work; the guys were getting tired just watching.
Then they noticed some large, smooth, rounded boulders and
they had a great idea! They could sit on top of the boulders
and get a better view of their wives working.
This was the first in a series of breakthroughs that ultimately
led to television…and later to the remote control. 😳😳😳😎

ANSWER: Birbal wrote, “This time will pass soon.”
When read in happy times, you will feel sad that the good times will end.
When read in sad times, you will have hope that the situation will improve, making you happy.
It’s a fact of life that there will be high points and low points. It can help deal with the difficult times knowing that they will pass, and appreciate the good times while you have them, knowing that they won’t last forever. Learn to appreciate what you have, before time makes you appreciate what you had. Abraham Lincoln is known to have included this idea in one of his speeches, “And this, too, shall pass away.”
“When life is good, enjoy it. But when life is hard, remember: God gives good times and hard times, and no one knows what tomorrow will bring.” (Ecclesiastes 7:14)
