quotes bern thinks are cool and/or apt

my s-in-l dodo is the queen of forward-ding
[i love it - keep em coming]
this week i received a couple that tickled me
ones a pun
the others a parable
heretofore covered by the quote umbrella (end quote)

the pun:

i wondered why the baseball was getting bigger
...then it hit me

LMAO and loving it!

honorable mentions to:
the short fortuneteller who escaped from prison
...was a small medium at large
when the smog lifts in los angeles, UCLA
time flies like an arrow - fruit flies like a banana

the parable:

a man wanted to know what heaven and hell are like
the Lord showed the man two doors
behind the first was a large round table
in the middle of the table was a large pot of stew which
smelled delicious and made the man's mouth water
however the people sitting around the table were thin
and sickly, they appeared to be famished
they were holding spoons with very long handles that were
strapped to their arms
each found it possible to reach into the pot of stew and take a
spoonful, but because the handle was longer than their arms
they could not get the spoons back into their mouths
the man shuddered at the sight of their misery and suffering
the Lord said "you have seen hell"

they then opened the second door
behind which they found to be quite similar to the first
the large round table with the large pot of aromatic stew
the people seated around the table were also equipped
with the same strapped-on long-handled spoons
but here the people were well nourished and plump
laughing talking and enjoying themselves

the man said "i don't understand"
"it is simple" said the Lord "it requires but one skill"
"they have learned to feed eachother,
while the greedy only think of themselves"

thats a cool message

we are all in this together
lets eat - who's hungry?
