SHORT BUT SWEET: A man dropped into a bank and found the customer service clerk chatting on the phone about new restaurants in town. After three minutes of exchanging dark glances with the man, she told her caller, “Hold on a minute. I’m being interrupted by a customer!”
SOME THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK: “Every one of us has something we don’t like to do. Washing dishes, doing accounts. But when you get into the meditation consciousness you see that nothing is more important than anything else, or less important. There is no way of wasting time because what is time for except to be wasted.” Alan Watts “Sometimes I lie awake at night, and I ask, ‘Where have I gone wrong’. Then a voice says to me, ‘This is going to take more than one night’”. Charles Schulz “If from infancy you treat children as gods, they are liable as adults to act as devils.” P.D. James “You treat an outside wound with rubbing alcohol, you treat an inside wound with drinking alcohol.” Jake Johnson “If you see someone without a smile, give “em” yours.” Dolly Parton “I wonder if it’s like this for mountain climbers, he thought. You climb bigger and bigger mountains and you know that one day one of them is going to be that bit too steep. But you go on doing it, because it’s so-o good when you breathe the air up there. And you know you’ll die falling.” Terry Pratchett “Last Wednesday, I stupidly dropped my iPhone in the bath, and my life has sort of spiralled almost out of control.” P. Stewart.
