Guest guest Posted April 5, 2005 Report Share Posted April 5, 2005 When I first started college, the Dean came in and said " Good Morning " to all of us. When we echoed back to him, he responded " Ah, you're Freshmen. " He explained. " When you walk in and say good morning, and they say good morning back, they're Freshmen. When they put their newspapers down and open their books, they're Sophomores. When they look up so they can see the who's talking over the tops of the newspapers, they're juniors. And when they put their feet up on the desks and keep reading, they're seniors. " And when you walk in and say good morning, and they write it down, they're graduate students. " .................................... A well-worn one dollar bill and a similarly distressed twenty dollar bill arrived at a Federal Reserve Bank to be retired. As they moved along the conveyor belt to be burned, they struck up a conversation. The twenty dollar bill reminisced about its travels all over the county. " I've had a pretty good life, " the twenty proclaimed. " Why I've been to Las Vegas and Atlantic City, the finest restaurants in New York, performances on Broadway, and even a cruise to the Caribbean. " " Wow! " said the one dollar bill. " You've really had an exciting life! " " So tell me, " says the twenty, " where have you been throughout your lifetime? " The one dollar bill replies, " Oh, I've been to the Methodist Church, the Baptist Church, the Lutheran Church ... " The twenty dollar bill interrupts, " What's a church?

For all of us who are married, were married, wish you were married, or wish you weren't married, this is something to smile about the next time you open a bottle of wine. Sally was driving home from one of her business trips in Northern Arizona when she saw an elderly Navajo woman walking on the side of the road. As the trip was a long and quiet one, she stopped the car and asked the Navajo woman if she would like a ride. With a silent nod of thanks, the woman got into the car. Resuming the journey, Sally tried in vain to make a bit of small talk with the Navajo woman. The old woman just sat silently, looking intently at everything she saw, studying every little detail, until she noticed a brown bag on the seat next to Sally. " What's in the bag? " asked the old woman. Sally looked down at the brown bag and said, " It's a bottle of wine...got it for my husband. " The Navajo woman was silent for another moment or two. Then speaking with the quiet wisdom of an elder, she said, " Good trade. " .................................. The local high school has a policy that the parents must call the school if a student is to be absent for the day. Alice deciding to skip school and go to the mall with her friends. So she waited until her parents had left for work and called the school herself. " Hi, I'm calling to report that Alice is unable to make it to school today because she is ill. " Secretary at high school answered, " I'm sorry to hear that. I'll note her absence. Who is this calling please? " " This is my mother.
