Costly Fishing Trip
Dangerous Horns
Two avid fishermen go on a fishing trip. They rent all the equipment: the reels, the rods, the wading suits, the rowboat, the car, and even a cabin in the woods. They spend a fortune.
The first day they go fishing, but they don't catch anything. The same thing happens on the second day, and on the third day. It goes on like this until finally, on the last day of their vacation, one of the men catches a fish.
As they're driving home they're really depressed. One guy turns to the other and says, "Do you realize that this lousy fish cost us fifteen hundred dollars?"
The other guy says, "Wow! It's a good thing we only caught the one!"
The teacher spent the entire hour reading to her class about farm animals, and bulls in particular. When she had finished, she asked, "name some things that are very dangerous to get near to and have horns."
Little Johnny spoke up without hesitation, "Automobiles?"

Your True Colors
All art requires courage.
~ Anne Tucker
After a long, bumpy flight, the passengers were glad to finally land. They got off the airplane and the flight attendants checked for items
left behind.In a seat pocket, one attendant found a bag of home-made cookies with a
note saying, "Much love, Mom." Quickly, she gave the bag to the gate agent in hopes it would be reunited with its owner.
A few minutes later, an announcement came over the public-address sys-tem in the airport: "Would the passenger who lost his cookies on Flight 302, please return to the gate?"
The Great Unknown
The pale half-moon shaped area at the bottom of our finger nails is called the lunula, named for its likeness to the crescent moon.
Left behind by astronauts, the moon has mirrors on its surface. They were used to bounce laser beams off them to measure the distance to the moon.
It takes approximately 1.25 seconds for a moonbeam to reach the Earth.
Never go to bed mad. Stay up and fight.

No Whistling Dixie! Strange as it may seem, organizers of the Scottish Traditional Boating
Festival ( June 20-22) have called for a ban on whistling!According to marine folklore, whistling at sea or near the seaside was
considered mocking the devil who could stir up a gale or two in retaliation. Taking precautions to ensure good weather for the festivities, the town has banned whistling…even for calling Fido.
But singing or humming is quite acceptable so you can still warble to your heart’s content in the shower.

A man without a wife is like a vase without flowers.
FYIIn south Florida officials cut open the belly of
a 16-foot Burmese python they had captured and killed in the Everglades. Inside the reptile they found a 76-pound, fully intact deer.
The snake, which was a female, weighed 215.4 pounds with the deer, and 139.1 pounds without it. The girth of the snake's stomach, stretched to accommodate the carcass, measured a whopping 44.1-inch-es. From head to tail, the reptile measured 15.65 feet.

A Fresh Perspective The Price of Raising Kids
The government recently calculated the cost of raising a child from birth to 18 and came up with $160,140.00 for a middle income family. Talk about price shock! That doesn’t even touch college tuition.
But $160,140.00 isn’t so bad if you break it down. It translates into: * $8,896.66 a year, * $741.38 a month, * $171.08 a week. * A mere $24.24 a day! * Just over a dollar an hour. Still, you might think the best financial advice is; don’t have children
if you want to be ‘rich.’ Actually, it is just the opposite. What do you get for your $160,140.00? * Naming rights . First, middle, and last! * Glimpses of God every day. * Giggles under the covers every night. * More love than your heart can hold. * Butterfly kisses and Velcro hugs.. * Endless wonder over rocks, ants, clouds, and warm cookies. * A hand to hold usually covered with jelly or chocolate. * A partner for blowing bubbles and flying kites. * Someone to laugh yourself silly with, no matter what the boss said
or how your stocks performed that day. For $160,140.00, you never have to grow up. You get to: * finger-paint, * carve pumpkins, * play hide-and-seek, * catch lightning bugs, * never stop believing in Santa Claus. You have an excuse to: * keep reading the Adventures of Piglet and Pooh, * watch Saturday morning cartoons, * go to Disney movies, and
* wish on stars. You get to frame rainbows, hearts, and flowers under refrigerator
magnets and collect spray painted noodle wreaths for Christmas, hand prints set in clay for Mother’s Day, and cards with backward letters for Father’s Day .
For a mere $24.24 a day, there is no greater bang for your buck. You get to be a hero just for:
* retrieving a Frisbee off the garage roof, * taking the training wheels off a bike, * removing a splinter, * filling a wading pool , * coaxing a wad of gum out of bangs, and * coaching a baseball team that never wins but always gets treated to
ice cream regardless. You get a front row seat in history to witness the: * First step, * First word, * First bra, * First date, * First time behind the wheel. You get to be immortal. You get another branch added to your fam-
ily tree, and if you’re lucky, a long list of limbs in your obituary called grandchildren and great grandchildren. You get an education in psy-chology, nursing, criminal justice, communications, and human sexual-ity that no college can match..
In the eyes of a child, you rank right up there under God. You have all the power to heal a boo-boo, scare away the monsters under the bed, patch a broken heart, police a slumber party, ground them forever, and love them without limits, so one day they will, like you, love without counting the cost. That is quite a deal for the price!
Love & enjoy your children & grandchildren & great-grandchildren! It’s the best investment you’ll ever make!

Costly Fishing Trip
Dangerous Horns
Two avid fishermen go on a fishing trip. They rent all the equipment: the reels, the rods, the wading suits, the rowboat, the car, and even a cabin in the woods. They spend a fortune.
The first day they go fishing, but they don't catch anything. The same thing happens on the second day, and on the third day. It goes on like this until finally, on the last day of their vacation, one of the men catches a fish.
As they're driving home they're really depressed. One guy turns to the other and says, "Do you realize that this lousy fish cost us fifteen hundred dollars?"
The other guy says, "Wow! It's a good thing we only caught the one!"
The teacher spent the entire hour reading to her class about farm animals, and bulls in particular. When she had finished, she asked, "name some things that are very dangerous to get near to and have horns."
Little Johnny spoke up without hesitation, "Automobiles?"
