Sitting Next To A Parrot

Necessary Operationa surgeon examined a new patient most carefully. after studying the

x-rays and the charts, he turned to the man and said, “could you pay for an operation if i told you it was necessary?”

The patient thought for a moment, then said to the doctor, “Would you find one necessary if i told you i couldn’t pay for it?”

uote If you can't be kind, at least be vague.

~ Judith Manners

Relaxation means releasing all concern and tension and letting the natural order of life flow through one’s being. ~ Donald Curtis

Stress is an ignorant state. it believes that everything is an emergency. noth-ing is that important. ~ Natalie Goldberg

Learning to ignore things is one of the great paths to inner peace. ~ Robert J. Sawyer

It is not your love that sustains the marriage, but from now on, the marriage that sustains your love. ~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer

I pay very little regard to what any young person says on the subject of mar-riage. if they profess a disinclination for it, i only set it down that they have not yet seen the right person. ~ Jane Austen

DescriptiveThe dandelion swayed in the gentle breeze like an oscillating

electric fan set on medium.

on reaching his plane seat a man is surprised to see a parrot strapped in next to him. he asks the stewardess for a coffee where upon the parrot squawks "and get me a juice ugly lady!" The stewardess, flustered, brings back a juice for the parrot and forgets the coffee.

When this omission is pointed out to her the parrot drains its glass and bawls "and get me another juice you idiot". Quite upset, the girl comes back shaking with another a juice for the parrot and forgets the coffee.

unaccustomed to such slackness the man tries the parrot's approach. "i've asked you twice for a coffee, go and get it now or i'll kick you".

The next moment, both he and the parrot have been wrenched up and thrown out of the emergency exit by two burly stewards. Plunging down-wards the parrot turns to him and says "for someone who can't fly, you complain too much!"

Starting to Forget?

True Meaning of Adoption

soon after her brother was born, little sachi began to ask her parents to leave her alone with the new baby. They worried that like most four-year-olds, she might feel jealous and want to hit or shake him, so they said no. but she showed no signs of jealousy. she treated the baby with kindness and her pleas to be left alone with him became more urgent. They decided to allow it. Elated, she went into the baby's room and shut the door, but it opened a crack — enough for her curious parents to peek in and listen. They saw little sachi walk quietly up to her baby brother, put her face close to his and say quietly, "baby, tell me what God feels like. i'm starting to forget."

teacher cindy moon's first graders were discussing a picture of a family. one little boy in the picture had a different color hair than the other fam-

ily members. one child suggested that he was adopted and a little girl named Jocelynn Jay said, "i know all about adoptions because i was adopted."

"What does it mean to be adopted?" asked another child. "it means," said Jocelynn, "that you grew in your mommy's heart instead of her tummy."

Marketing Gone Awry

Recently a guy in Paris nearly got away with stealing several paintings from the louvre. however, after planning the crime, breaking in, evading security, getting out and escaping with the goods, he was captured only two blocks away when his Econoline van ran out of gas.

When asked how he could mastermind such a crime and then make such an obvious error, he replied:

“i had no monet to buy degas to make the Van Gogh.”

te A happy marriage is the union of two good forgivers. ~ Ruth Bell Graham

The coca-cola name in china was first read as “Kekoukela”, meaning “bite the Wax tadpole” or “female horse stuffed with Wax”, depending on the dialect.

coke then researched 40,000 char-acters to find a phonetic equivalent “kokoukole”, translating into “happi-ness in the mouth.”

a woman repeated a bit of gossip about a neighbor. Within a few days the whole community knew the story. The person it concerned was deeply hurt and offended. later the woman responsible for spreading the rumor learned that it was completely untrue. she was very sorry and went to a wise old sage to find out what she could do to repair the damage.

“Go to the marketplace,” he said, “and purchase a chicken, and have it killed. Then on your way home, pluck its feathers and drop them one by one along the road.” although surprised by this advice, the woman did what she was told.

The next day the wise man said, “now go and collect all those feathers you dropped yesterday and bring them back to me.”

The woman followed the same road, but to her dismay, the wind had blown the feathers all away. after searching for hours, she returned with only three in her hand. “you see,” said the old sage, “it’s easy to drop them, but it’s impossible to get them back. so it is with gossip. it doesn’t take much to spread a rumor, but once you do, you can never completely undo the wrong.”

Five Truths of Accountability

i've been speaking on or writing about PERsonal account-ability since 1995—and i've come to believe there are five truths that are self-evident:

1. Everybody wants everybody else to practice personal accountability. Enough said.

2. individuals make exceptions for themselves when it comes to ac-countability/responsibility/ownership:

Example: if i earned an annual income of, say, $65,000 back when the real estate market was peaking, but bought a half million dollar home—and then lost that home—it was due to "predatory lending." but if a neighbor flies to Vegas, gambles away his entire net worth and comes back broke, we think, "Wow. That was really stupid. What a foolish thing for him to do!" sometimes, we need to say that to ourselves, and then ask The Question behind the Question (QbQ), "What can i learn from this experience?"

3. i am more effective in all roles—father, mother, professional, spouse, friend, volunteer—when i practice personal accountability.

4. life is more enjoyable—downright more fun!—when i walk on the high Road of Personal accountability.

5. it's simply the "right thing to do." The wrong things to do are blame, whine, point fingers, play victim, become entitled—and expect others to bail me out of my bad choices.

now, if you don't agree with these five ideas—that's just fine. but that's the way i see it.

Marveling At The Moonon June 16, 1963, colonel-Engineer Valentina Vladimirovna tereshkova was a soviet cosmonaut and the first woman in space. sally Ride, astronaut from the united states, became the first american woman in space in 1983.

neil armstrong, astronaut for the united states, became the first person to walk on the moon. his moon walk took place on July 20, 1969. he trav-eled to the moon aboard apollo 11.

sergei Kirkalyov, cosmonaut from the soviet union, has spent the most time in space. he was aboard the space station for 2 years and 73 days.

Census CorundumThe Problem:

a census taker approaches a house and asks the woman who answers the door, ”how many children do you have, and what are their ages?”

Woman: “i have three children, the product of their ages are 36, the sum of their ages are equal to the address of the house next door.”

The census taker walks next door, comes back and says, “i need more information.” The woman replies, “i have to go, my oldest child is sleeping upstairs.”

census taker: “Thank you, i now have everything i need.” What are the ages of each of the three children?

The Solution:The reason the census taker could not figure out the children’s ages is be-

cause, even with knowing the number on the house next door, there were still two possibilities. The only way that the product could be 36 and still leave two possibilities is if the sum equals 13. These possibilities being 9, 2 and 2 or 6, 6 and 1.

When the home owner stated that her “oldest” child is sleeping she was giving the census taker the fact that there is an “oldest.” The children’s ages are therefore 9,2 and 2.

Very Punnya man takes his Rottweiler to the vet and says, “my dog’s cross-eyed; is there anything you can do for him? “ “Well,” says the vet, “let’s have a look at him.” so he picks the dog up and

examines his eyes, then checks his teeth. finally, he says “i’m sorry, but i'm going to have to put him down.”

“What? because he’s cross-eyed?” wails the owner. “no, because he’s really heavy!”

x-rays and the charts, he turned to the man and said, “could you pay for an operation if i told you it was necessary?”

The patient thought for a moment, then said to the doctor, “Would you find one necessary if i told you i couldn’t pay for it?”

It is not your love that sustains the marriage, but from now on, the marriage that sustains your love. ~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer

I pay very little regard to what any young person says on the subject of mar-riage. if they profess a disinclination for it, i only set it down that they have not yet seen the right person. ~ Jane Austen

DescriptiveThe dandelion swayed in the gentle breeze like an oscillating

electric fan set on medium.

on reaching his plane seat a man is surprised to see a parrot strapped in next to him. he asks the stewardess for a coffee where upon the parrot squawks "and get me a juice ugly lady!" The stewardess, flustered, brings back a juice for the parrot and forgets the coffee.

When this omission is pointed out to her the parrot drains its glass and bawls "and get me another juice you idiot". Quite upset, the girl comes back shaking with another a juice for the parrot and forgets the coffee.

unaccustomed to such slackness the man tries the parrot's approach. "i've asked you twice for a coffee, go and get it now or i'll kick you".

The next moment, both he and the parrot have been wrenched up and thrown out of the emergency exit by two burly stewards. Plunging down-wards the parrot turns to him and says "for someone who can't fly, you complain too much!"

Starting to Forget?

True Meaning of Adoption

soon after her brother was born, little sachi began to ask her parents to leave her alone with the new baby. They worried that like most four-year-olds, she might feel jealous and want to hit or shake him, so they said no. but she showed no signs of jealousy. she treated the baby with kindness and her pleas to be left alone with him became more urgent. They decided to allow it. Elated, she went into the baby's room and shut the door, but it opened a crack — enough for her curious parents to peek in and listen. They saw little sachi walk quietly up to her baby brother, put her face close to his and say quietly, "baby, tell me what God feels like. i'm starting to forget."

teacher cindy moon's first graders were discussing a picture of a family. one little boy in the picture had a different color hair than the other fam-

ily members. one child suggested that he was adopted and a little girl named Jocelynn Jay said, "i know all about adoptions because i was adopted."

"What does it mean to be adopted?" asked another child. "it means," said Jocelynn, "that you grew in your mommy's heart instead of her tummy."

Marketing Gone Awry

Recently a guy in Paris nearly got away with stealing several paintings from the louvre. however, after planning the crime, breaking in, evading security, getting out and escaping with the goods, he was captured only two blocks away when his Econoline van ran out of gas.

When asked how he could mastermind such a crime and then make such an obvious error, he replied:

“i had no monet to buy degas to make the Van Gogh.”

coke then researched 40,000 char-acters to find a phonetic equivalent “kokoukole”, translating into “happi-ness in the mouth.”

a woman repeated a bit of gossip about a neighbor. Within a few days the whole community knew the story. The person it concerned was deeply hurt and offended. later the woman responsible for spreading the rumor learned that it was completely untrue. she was very sorry and went to a wise old sage to find out what she could do to repair the damage.

“Go to the marketplace,” he said, “and purchase a chicken, and have it killed. Then on your way home, pluck its feathers and drop them one by one along the road.” although surprised by this advice, the woman did what she was told.

The next day the wise man said, “now go and collect all those feathers you dropped yesterday and bring them back to me.”

The woman followed the same road, but to her dismay, the wind had blown the feathers all away. after searching for hours, she returned with only three in her hand. “you see,” said the old sage, “it’s easy to drop them, but it’s impossible to get them back. so it is with gossip. it doesn’t take much to spread a rumor, but once you do, you can never completely undo the wrong.”

Five Truths of Accountability

i've been speaking on or writing about PERsonal account-ability since 1995—and i've come to believe there are five truths that are self-evident:

1. Everybody wants everybody else to practice personal accountability. Enough said.

2. individuals make exceptions for themselves when it comes to ac-countability/responsibility/ownership:

Example: if i earned an annual income of, say, $65,000 back when the real estate market was peaking, but bought a half million dollar home—and then lost that home—it was due to "predatory lending." but if a neighbor flies to Vegas, gambles away his entire net worth and comes back broke, we think, "Wow. That was really stupid. What a foolish thing for him to do!" sometimes, we need to say that to ourselves, and then ask The Question behind the Question (QbQ), "What can i learn from this experience?"

3. i am more effective in all roles—father, mother, professional, spouse, friend, volunteer—when i practice personal accountability.

4. life is more enjoyable—downright more fun!—when i walk on the high Road of Personal accountability.

5. it's simply the "right thing to do." The wrong things to do are blame, whine, point fingers, play victim, become entitled—and expect others to bail me out of my bad choices.

now, if you don't agree with these five ideas—that's just fine. but that's the way i see it.

Marveling At The Moonon June 16, 1963, colonel-Engineer Valentina Vladimirovna tereshkova was a soviet cosmonaut and the first woman in space. sally Ride, astronaut from the united states, became the first american woman in space in 1983.

neil armstrong, astronaut for the united states, became the first person to walk on the moon. his moon walk took place on July 20, 1969. he trav-eled to the moon aboard apollo 11.

sergei Kirkalyov, cosmonaut from the soviet union, has spent the most time in space. he was aboard the space station for 2 years and 73 days.

Census CorundumThe Problem:

a census taker approaches a house and asks the woman who answers the door, ”how many children do you have, and what are their ages?”

Woman: “i have three children, the product of their ages are 36, the sum of their ages are equal to the address of the house next door.”

The census taker walks next door, comes back and says, “i need more information.” The woman replies, “i have to go, my oldest child is sleeping upstairs.”

census taker: “Thank you, i now have everything i need.” What are the ages of each of the three children?

The Solution:The reason the census taker could not figure out the children’s ages is be-

cause, even with knowing the number on the house next door, there were still two possibilities. The only way that the product could be 36 and still leave two possibilities is if the sum equals 13. These possibilities being 9, 2 and 2 or 6, 6 and 1.

When the home owner stated that her “oldest” child is sleeping she was giving the census taker the fact that there is an “oldest.” The children’s ages are therefore 9,2 and 2.

Very Punnya man takes his Rottweiler to the vet and says, “my dog’s cross-eyed; is there anything you can do for him? “ “Well,” says the vet, “let’s have a look at him.” so he picks the dog up and

examines his eyes, then checks his teeth. finally, he says “i’m sorry, but i'm going to have to put him down.”

“What? because he’s cross-eyed?” wails the owner. “no, because he’s really heavy!”
