LOL that's great!!!

A traveling sales man walks into a bar for a drink and notices a sign above the bar............"$500 to anyone who can make my horse happy"

"Whats with the horse" he asks the bar man?

"Dunno" he says "he's just alwas sad..........mopes around, can't get any useful work out of him. I've tried every thing and every vet, no one can help"

"mind if i give it a go" asks the sales man as he finnishes his beer

"Give it your best shot and i'll glady give you the $500" replys the barman.

The sales man walks to the barn, follows by the bar man...........sure enough, the horse is standing there, long face...........doesn't even bother to turn his head.

The man stands next to the horse and wishpers in it ear..............

Instantly the horses ears prick up and it actually begins laughing, tears streaming down its face, galloping around................

The barman gladly count out the $500 and thanks the sales man.

6 months later, the sales man is passing by again and pops in for a drink.

Now there is a sign above the bar " $500 to anyone who can make my horse stop laughing"

The sales man doesn't even get time to order a drink this time.........
"please sir, you seemed to work magic last time, my horse won't stop laughing, its worse than before, not only is he useless to me, he keeps everyone awake at night, with his laughing, please can you do anything."

Sure said the sales man, as he walks to the barn, but i need some privacy........

No worries says the barman and walks outside.

30 seconds later the sales amn walk out, and says there you go, back to normal. The barman runs inside to find his horse all depressed, with a tear in its eye.

He rushes outside and asks "i have to know how you were able to effect such changes in my horse?"

Well, says the salesman, when he was sad i wispered in his ear and told him that my "big-fella" was bigger than his. Of course he found this hillarious.




Then, just now, i showed him.

heard it before, but told better
Two different occasions, first to make it laugh second to make it cry. same punch line

told better the first time or now?

pretty damn close. I think the fact that I heard it the first time in person made it funnier.

not really funny but if you got a 'clean' mind you should only see the 9
fishes in the pic as most young children would.

But if your 'tainted' you would only see a man and woman

What if you can see both, CG?

well then you would be naughty & nice, i guess, then you should be here with me

Yep - I immediately saw all the fishes, needed a 2nd look to find out what everyone was on about :cherry:

Oh dear I'm still looking for the fishes

yeah, can't see any fish myself

Im with you Joyce. I see the dolphins and the couple

i like those pics, i have seen a few different ones to that one though

I like them too Daniel. I buy books with them in it, (not necessaily this picture) but ones to help the children expand their minds. I started my children out with search pictures when they were young and they all are excellant artists and great in school.
CG, Barbados is a long ways away.
Cute porposes.

As I walked down the busy sidewalk, knowing I was late for an important interview, my eyes fell upon one of those unfortunate, homeless vagabonds that are found in every city these days. Wearing what can only be described as rags, carrying every worldly possession in two plastic bags, my heart was touched by this person's condition. Some people turned to stare. Others quickly looked away, as if the sight would somehow contaminate them.
Recalling some long ago Sunday School admonition to "care for the sick, feed the hungry, and clothe the naked", I was moved by some powerful inner urge to reach out to this unfortunate person. Yes, where some people saw only rags, I saw a hidden beauty. A small voice inside my head called out, "Reach out, reach out!" So, I did..........

I get out of the hospital in about 3 months. It would be nice to get a card or maybe a visitor
