Cold Winter Coming?

Thanks to Butch

It was fall and the Indians on a remote reservation in Idaho

asked their new chief if the coming winter was going to be cold or mild.

Since he was a chief in a modern society, he had never been taught the old secrets. When he looked at the sky, he couldn't tell what the winter was going to be like.

Nevertheless, to be on the safe side,

he told his tribe that the winter was indeed going to be cold

and that the members of the village should collect firewood to be prepared.

But, being a practical leader, after several days, he got an idea.

He went to the phone booth, called the National Weather Service and asked,

'Is the coming winter going to be cold?'

'It looks like this winter is going to be quite cold,'

the meteorologist at the weather service responded.

So the chief went back to his people

and told them to collect even more firewood in order to be prepared.

A week later, he called the National Weather Service again.

'Does it still look like it is going to be a very cold winter?'

'Yes,' the man at National Weather Service again replied,

'it's going to be a very cold winter.'

The chief again went back to his people

and ordered them to collect every scrap of firewood they could find.

Two weeks later, the chief called the National Weather Service again.

'Are you absolutely sure that the winter is going to be very cold?'

'Absolutely,' the man replied.

'It's looking more and more like

it is going to be one of the coldest winters we've ever seen.'

'How can you be so sure?' the chief asked.

The weatherman replied,

'The Indians are collecting a shitload of firewood'

European Vacation

Thanks to Jane MacR.

Clyde and Marvin were brothers who lived in Kansas.

Marvin was born crippled and had used two crutches to get around with all of his life.

The two young men had won an all expense paid vacation for two in Europe.

The men were excited about their good fortune as neither had been more than a few hundred miles from their birthplace all of their lives. Their friends and neighbors had seen them off at the airport,

and upon their return the same folks gathered around them at their home in Kansas to hear all of the details of their trip to Europe.

Clyde was the eldest and more articulate of the two and he began the narration.

"Well, first we went to Paris, France and saw the Eiffel Tower.

There is a restaurant on top and you cans see for miles.

There's 10,000 steps going up to the top, but Marvin had to wait on the ground because he's crippled".

"Next", Marvin added, "we went to London, England where they have this huge clock they call Big Ben.

They take you up some stairs and ladders and across some catwalks and you can see the gears and wheels that make it work;

man is it loud when it gongs.

I could not take the tour because they did not have any provisions for folks with crutches."

Clyde then continued: "Then we took off for Rome, Italy; you know where the Vatican is.

Well we were just walking down the street looking at things and it got real quiet and people started pointing,

and then they started kneeling and making the sign of the cross on their chests.

We turned to see what the fuss was all about and it was the Pope-mobile coming.

We could see that white limousine with the glass cage on top heading our way.

The Pope was inside the cage,

I shit you not; he spoke into a microphone and the driver pulled over to where we were standing,

and the Pope got out and walked over to us.

Then the Pope looked at Marvin and took his crutches away from him and tossed them aside

and told Marvin that he was healed as he touched Marvin's forehead".

There was total silence as the gathering listened awestruck to every word of the account.

"What happened to Marvin?" asked a friend.

Clyde responded:

"Hell, he fell on his ass, he's crippled ya know".

Annual apology

Thanks to Graham H.

Over the past few months I have forwarded some inappropriate pictures and jokes to friends who I thought shared the same sense of humour... Unfortunately this wasn't the case and I seem to have upset quite

a few people who have accused me of being sexist and shallow...

If you were one of these people, please accept my sincerest apologies.

Looking to 2012 onward, I will only post or send e-mail with a cultural or educational

content such as old monuments, nature and other interesting topics.

Below is a picture of the Pont Neuf Bridge in Paris . It is the oldest bridge

in Paris and took 26 years to build. It was completed in 1604.
