Thought for the day

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, and comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who as the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat. [Theodore Roosevelt]

Dumb Questions

It has been said that the only dumb question is the one that is not asked, I beg to differ.  This is from the Weather Channel.

Today

I called the Suicide Hotline and got a call center in Pakistan.  I told them I was thinking about suicide and they got all excited and asked me if I could drive a truck.

Christmas Traditions

Santa was having a bad day.  Maybe the worst day of his long life.  It was a couple days before Christmas and he could not see how he was going to get all the gifts delivered.

The elves were trying to unionize and had a work slowdown going so they were way behind on making the toys.  Some of his suppliers were having trouble shipping the raw materials he needed and this was exacerbating the problem. The reindeer were sick with head colds and Rudolf could not get his nose to shine at all so Santa was looking at the possibility of flying with no navigation.  Mrs Clause kept nagging him because he had not finished the decorating.

Finally about 5 that evening Santa had had enough.  He went into his living room and poured himself a large scotch and settled into his easy chair to relax with his pipe and glass.  He had barely taken a sip when a little angel stuck her head through the doorway and cheerfully said "Santa, I have your Christmas tree here, where should I put it?"

And that boys and girls is why we always have an angel on top of our Christmas trees.

Unintentional But So Wrong

Duck Tales

This duck walks into a convenience store and asks the clerk, "Do you have any grapes?"
The clerk says no, and the duck leaves.
The next day, the duck returns and asks, "Do you have any grapes?"
The clerk again says no, and the duck leaves.
The day after that, the duck walks in the store again and asks "Do you have any grapes?"
The clerk screams at the duck, "You've come in here the past two days and asked if we had any grapes. I told you no every time that we don't have any grapes! I swear if you come back in here again, and ask for grapes, I'll nail your webbed feet to the floor!!"
The duck left, and returned the next day. This time he asked, "Do you have any nails?"
The clerk replied, "No,"
and the duck said, "Good! Got any grapes?"
