The World's Largest Daily Joke Network Quote of the Day "I just got out of the hospital. I was in a speed-reading accident. I hit a bookmark." -Steven Wright Jokemaster's Note Rex Barker here with "Blessings from A Whale", sent to us by Donald and Samantha from the Bay Area. Please submit your favorite inspirational stories, quotes or pieces to RexBarker In the San Francisco Chronicle, December 2005, you would have read about a female humpback whale who had become entangled in a web of crab traps and lines. The fifty-foot whale was weighted down by hundreds of pounds of traps that caused her to struggle to stay afloat. She also had hundreds of yards of line rope wrapped around her tail, her torso and a line tugging in her mouth. A fisherman spotted her just east of a local island chain and called an environmental group for help. Within a few hours, the rescue team arrived and determined that she was so bad off, the only way to save her was to dive in and untangle her - a very dangerous proposition. One slap of the tail could kill a rescuer. They worked for hours with curved knives and eventually freed her. When she was free, the divers say she swam in what seemed like joyous circles. She then came back to each and every diver, one at a time, and nudged them, pushed them gently around - she thanked them. Some said it was the most incredibly beautiful experience of their lives. The guy who cut the rope out of her mouth says her eye was following him the whole time, and he will never be the same May you, and all those you love, be so blessed and fortunate this year-to be surrounded by people who will help you get untangled from the things that are binding you.. This is Rex Barker, CS (Cutting the tangled cords from your Stressful Lives) reminding you that you will never cease to be amazed by the feeling of selflessly helping others. *** Having Problems Getting Joke-Of-The-Day in Your Inbox? *** This Page will show you how to keep it in the inbox Note: Our Registration Page is now fixed, so please tell your friends and have them sign up RESPOND: RexBarker NOTE: To manage your account, see below.

He is asked to walk behind the elephants in the center ring, shoveling aside their droppings as they walk about. After a rather difficult evening at work, he goes to the circus cafeteria, sits with other workers, and begins complaining about his work. "It's just terrible work, walking behind those huge beasts and first dodging, then shoveling aside the dung they produce. My arms are tired, my shoes and pants are a mess, and I'll have to shower before I return home, because of the stink." His friends at work agree: "Why don't you just quit this miserable job and find something more rewarding to do.You have to have some skills and talents that you can put to use somewhere else." He looks at them, stunned: "You know, you're probably right, but I just can't give up the glamour of show business!"
