Negativity “Parable”

This is something to think about when negative people are doing their best to rain on your parade.

So remember this story the next time someone who knows nothing and cares less tries to make your life miserable.

A woman was at her hairdresser’s getting her hair styled for a trip to Rome with her husband.. She mentioned the trip to the hairdresser, who responded: “Rome? Why would anyone want to go there? It’s crowded and dirty.. You’re crazy to go to Rome . So, how are you getting there?”

“We’re taking Continental,” was the reply. “We got a great rate!”

“Continental?” exclaimed the hairdresser. “That’s a terrible airline. Their planes are old, their flight attendants are ugly, and they’re always late. So, where are you staying in Rome?”

“We’ll be at this exclusive little place over on Rome’s Tiber River called Teste.”

“Don’t go any further. I know that place. Everybody thinks its gonna be something special and exclusive, but it’s really a dump.”

“We’re going to go to see the Vatican and maybe get to see the Pope.”

“That’s rich,” laughed the hairdresser. “You and a million other people trying to see him. He’ll look the size of an ant. Boy, good luck on this lousy trip of yours. You’re going to need it.”

A month later, the woman again came in for a hairdo. (After the last visit, I wondered why!!?) The hairdresser asked her about her trip to Rome.

“It was wonderful,” explained the woman, “not only were we on time in one of Continental’s brand new planes, but it was overbooked, and they bumped us up to first class. The food and wine were wonderful, and I had a handsome 28-year-old steward who waited on me hand and foot. And the hotel was great! They’d just finished a $5 million remodeling job, and now it’s a jewel, the finest hotel in the city. They, too, were overbooked, so they apologized and gave us their owner’s suite at no extra charge!”

“Well,” muttered the hairdresser, “that’s all well and good, but I know you didn’t get to see the Pope.”

“Actually, we were quite lucky, because as we toured the Vatican, a Swiss Guard tapped me on the shoulder, and explained that the Pope likes to meet some of the visitors, and if I’d be so kind as to step into his private room and wait, the Pope would personally greet me. Sure enough, five minutes later, the Pope walked through the door and shook my hand! I knelt down and he spoke a few words to me.”

“Oh, really! What’d he say ?”

He said: “Who f****d up your hair?”

THAT’S why she went back eh?? Go girl!!

Shampoo warning


Please share the following information with your friends.

I don’t know WHY I didn’t figure this out before !!!!!

I wash my hair in the shower and the shampoo runs down over my whole body.

Printed very clearly on the label is the following warning:

“FOR EXTRA VOLUME AND BODY.”
No WONDER I have been gaining weight!!!

Well, I have got rid of that shampoo and I am going to
start using Dish Washing Liquid instead.
Its label reads,

“DISSOLVES FAT THAT IS OTHERWISE DIFFICULT TO REMOVE.”

Problem solved! If I don’t answer the phone . .. . I’ll be in the shower!

Wild Turkey and Coke On A Tuesday Morning

An email from david at David the Letterman.com came in passing on this little gem! Glad I wasn’t driving!

“I had to go to Harrison this morning and saw this Coke truck sitting on the side of the road. When I got close to it I could see what was wrong and turned around to go make sure the driver was OK; he was fine.

I told him he should get a medal for keeping the truck on the road and not having a major accident. You’ll see why in one of the pictures.

I guess he wanted a little Wild Turkey with his Coke this morning”

Great Answer!

A senior citizen drove his brand new BMW Z4 convertible out of the car  salesroom.  Taking off down the motorway, He  floored it to 100mph, enjoying the wind blowing  through what little hair he had  left.

“Amazing!” he thought as  he flew down the M1, enjoying pushing the pedal to the  metal even more.  Looking in his rear view  mirror, he saw a police car behind him, blue lights  flashing and siren blaring.

“I can  get away from him – no problem!”  thought the  elderly nutcase as he floored it to 120mph,then 130mph  then 140mph   Suddenly, he thought, “What on  earth am I doing? I’m too old for this  nonsense!”  So he pulled over to the side of the   road and waited for the police car to catch up with  him.

Pulling in behind him, the  police officer walked up the driver’s side of the BMW,  looked at his watch and said, “Sir, my shift ends in  10 minutes.  Today is Friday and I’m taking  off  for the weekend.  If you can give me a  reason why you were speeding that I’ve never  heard before, I’ll let you  go.”

The old man, looked very  seriously at the policeman, and replied, “Years ago,  my wife ran off with a policeman.   I  thought you were bringing her  back.”

“Have a good day, Sir”,  said the policeman .

A Dog Named Faith

This came in as an email to me and I just thought it was a good point to pass on. Read to the end…

“Be kind, for everyone you meet is engaged in a great struggle.” Philo of Alexandria

Faith

Faith

This dog was born on Christmas Eve in the year 2002. He was born with 2 legs – He of course could not walk when he was born. Even his mother did not want him.

His first owner also did not think that he could survive and he was thinking of ‘putting him to sleep’.

But then, his present owner, Jude Stringfellow, met him and wanted to take care of him.

She became determined to teach and train this little dog to walk by himself.

She named him ‘Faith’.

In the beginning, she put Faith on a surfboard to let him feel the movement.
Later she used peanut butter on a spoon as a lure and reward for him for standing up and jumping around.

Even the other dog at home encouraged him to walk..

Amazingly, only after 6 months, like a miracle, Faith learned to balance on his hind legs and to jump to move forward.

After further training in the snow, he could now walk like a human being…

Faith loves to walk around now.

No matter where he goes, he attracts people to him.

He is fast becoming famous on the international scene and has appeared on various newspapers and TV shows. There is now a book entitled ‘With a Little Faith’ being published about him. He was even considered to appear in one of Harry Potter movies.

His present owner Jude Stringfellow has given up her teaching post and plans to take him around the world to preach that even without a perfect body, one can have a perfect soul’.

In life there are always undesirable things, so in order to feel better you just need to look at life from another direction.

I hope this message will bring fresh new ways of thinking to everyone and that everyone will appreciate and be thankful for each beautiful day.

Faith is the continual demonstration of the strength and wonder of life.
