Thoughts for April Fool’s Day 2016!!!

Welcome April and April Fools Day!

  1. Thought – Mama taught her well!  You’ve got to love this little girl. What a  woman she’ll make.

 

A teacher asked her class, “What do you want out of life?” A little girl in the back row raised her hand and said, “All I want out of life is four little animals, just like my Mom always says”.

 

The teacher asked, “Really and what four little animals would that be?”The little girl said, “A mink on my back, a jaguar in the garage, a tiger in the bed and a jackass to pay for all of it.

The teacher got a coughing fit and had to leave the room.

  1. Thought – At a meeting of the college faculty, an angel suddenly appears and tells the head of the philosophy department, “I will grant you whichever of the three blessings you choose: Wisdom, Beauty – or ten million dollars.”

Immediately, the professor chooses Wisdom.

There is a flash of lightening, and the professor appears transformed, but he just sits there, staring down at the table.

 

One of his colleagues whispers, “Say something.”

The professor says, “I should have taken the money.” (Plato and Platypus Walk into a Barr.. by Thomas Cathcart & Daniel Klein)

  1. Thought – Maybe ten years ago I was at a church presentation and our pastor put the coexist bumper sticker up and it was discussed.  Some liked it, some didn’t like it…but in wrapping up the presentation, the pastor asked for questions.  I asked, “Joe, if you look at all religious symbols on that bumper sticker, and you think about all those different beliefs and their perspectives, in order to ‘coexist’ some one, or many, must change.  Tell me, who is going to change?”  Well, the question was a show stopper as you can imagine.

Thoughts on Friday the 5th before Super Bowl 50!

Good Friday Morning! It’s Super Bowl weekend! Couple of thoughts on football:
1. Forest Gregg, coach of the Bengals was asked why he let the Bengal players sleep with their wives before the Super Bowl. His answer: “They’re married to them.”
2. Jerry Glanville on what the NFL stands for: “If you’re a pro coach, NFL stands for ‘Not For Long.'”
3. Pete Wysocki on tackling Earl Campbell: “When you tackle Campbell, it reduces your IQ.”
4. On Bum Phillips coaching: “He won because he coached people, not football.”
5. Bear Bryant on his staff: “I don’t hire anybody not brighter than I am. If they’re not brighter than I am, I don’t need them.”
6. Billy Graham on Super Bowl Sunday: “More than being concerned with who’s going to win the Super Bowl, I feel the Lord is probably more concerned that they might find a day other than Sunday to play on.”
7. Chuck Noll on the day after winning the Super Bowl: “We consider our Super Bowl trophy an antique.”
8. Keith Jackson, asked if he would retire if the Packers won Super Bowl XXXI: “You know, greed will set in, and say, maybe we can win two.'”
9. Matt Millen on tackling Walter Payton: “You felt honored to tackle him.”
10. Lou Holtz on saving face: “The best way to save face is by keeping the lower part of it shut.” (Football Shorts by Glenn Liebman)
