WELCOME to WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 8th, 2026

 Here’s The Story…..
 A lion was walking through the forest, asking who was the king of the jungle.

The first thing he saw was the buffalo. The lion, shining in all his glory, asked.

Who is the king of the jungle?

It’s you. The wild buffalo agreed.

I saw a bear nearby. I asked it, without losing any seriousness.

Tell me, are you the king of the jungle?

You are the one. The bear bowed his head.

I saw a rhinoceros nearby.

Okay, tell me, let me hear you, king of the jungle?

Oh, isn’t that you? The rhinoceros also quickly agreed.
Finally, an elephant was found. When I confidently patted the elephant’s leg and asked
this question, the elephant grabbed the lion with its trunk and threw it into a nearby large tree.
The lion, who had fallen on the tree and the ground, slowly got up, shook off the dust that had stuck to his body, and said:
“Yes, there’s no need for you to get all heated about not knowing the answer to the question, you hear!”😯
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it! Have a HAPPY WEDNESDAY ‘people, stay safe,
and whatever you do, don’t forget to laff it up! Peace, I am outta here! Eucman! 😁

Now that the metric system is in wide use all over the world,
we can see why American have not adopted it:
A miss is as good as 1.6 kilometers.
Put your best .3 of a meter forward.
Spare the 5.03 meters and spoil the child.
Twenty-eight grams of prevention is worth 453 grams of cure.
Give a man 2.5 centimeters and he’ll take 1.6 kilometers.

TUESDAY’s Movie Trivia of the day!      
In “A Tree Grows In Brooklyn” the Nolan family was quite poor in the early 1900s. The mother, Katherine, was a sturdy sort with two fiercely independant children (Francie and ‘Neely’). The clan struggled to survive, even to thrive due, in great part, to the kindness of heart that defined the father Johnny Nolan. Johnny, while gentle to the core, had a major flaw though. What was it?

Answer: He was an alcoholic.! It is usually difficult to portray a drunkard as a noble person, but it happened in this film. The amazing thing is that it was just a fact that all the characters lived with, instead of a weapon/element of blame the others used on him. In the 60 years since this project, the view of alcoholism has changed drastically and this movie showed it (somewhat before others did) as an ‘affliction’ and not as a heinous signal of low character. It was clear that Mr. Nolan couldn’t help himself, and equally clear that if he could have he would have.
 
WEDNESDAYS Movie Trivia of the day!  
The pivotal role of Francie Nolan, the strong and sensitive (and smart) young daughter of a poor New York family, was coveted by many.
Who eventually played her in the 1945 film?

TUESDAY’s Quizzler….
It’s true I bring serenity,
And hang around the stars,
But yet I live in misery,
You’ll find me behind bars.
With thieves and villains I consort,
In prison I’ll be found,
But I would never go to court,
Unless there’s more than one.
Answer:  The letter S

WEDNESday’s  Quizzler is….
A new student met the Zen Master after traveling hundreds of miles by yak cart. He was
understandably pleased with himself for being selected to learn at the great master’s feet .

The first time they formally met, the Zen Master asked, “May I ask you a simple question?”
“It would be an honor!” replied the student.

“Which is greater, that which has no beginning or that which has no end?” queried the Zen Master.
“Come back when you have the answer and can explain why.”

After the student made many frustrated trips back with answers which the master quickly cast
off with a disapproving negative nod, the Zen Master finally said, “Perhaps I should ask you another question?”

“Oh, please do!” pleaded the exasperated student.

The Zen Master then asked, “Since you do not know that, answer this much simpler riddle.
When can a pebble hold back the sea?”

Again the student was rebuffed time and again. Several more questions followed with the same result.
Each time, the student could not find the correct answer. Finally, completely exasperated, the student
began to weep, “Master, I am a complete idiot. I can not solve even the simplest riddle from you!”
Suddenly, the student stopped, sat down, and said, “I am ready for my second lesson.”
What was the Zen Master’s first lesson?
