Home Depot Customer

Thanks to Ray O'

This picture is real and was taken by a Transportation

Supervisor for a company that delivers building materials

For 84 Lumber. When he saw it in the parking lot of IHOP,

He went to buy a camera to take pictures.

The car is still running, as can be witnessed by the exhaust.

The driver finally came back after the police were called,

And was found crouched behind the rear of the car, attempting

To cut the twine around the load! Luckily, the police stopped him

And had the load removed.

The materials were loaded at Home Depot. Their store manager

Said they made the customer sign a waiver.

While the plywood and 2X4s are fairly obvious, what you can't see

Is the back seat, which contains -- are you ready for this?

10 bags of concrete @ 80 lbs. Each!

They estimated the load weight at 3000 lbs. Both back tires exploded,

The wheels bent and the rear shocks were driven through the floorboard.

A Poor Scottish Farmer

Thanks to Tony H.

His name was Fleming, and he was a poor Scottish farmer.

One day, while trying to make a living for his family,

he heard a cry for help coming from a nearby bog.

He dropped his tools and ran to the bog.

There, mired to his waist in black muck,

was a terrified boy, screaming and struggling to free himself.

Farmer Fleming saved the lad from what could have been a slow and terrifying death.

The next day, a fancy carriage pulled up to the Scotsman's sparse surroundings.

An elegantly dressed nobleman stepped out

and introduced himself as the father of the boy Farmer Fleming had saved.

'I want to repay you,' said the nobleman. 'You saved my son's life.'

'No, I can't accept payment for what I did,'

the Scottish farmer replied waving off the offer.

At that moment, the farmer's own son came to the door of the family hovel.

'Is that your son?' the nobleman asked.

'Yes,' the farmer replied proudly.

'I'll make you a deal. Let me provide him with the level of education my own son will enjoy.

If the lad is anything like his father, he'll no doubt grow to be a man we both will be proud of.'

And that he did.

Farmer Fleming's son attended the very best schools and in time,

graduated from St. Mary's Hospital Medical School in London,

and went on to become known throughout the world

as the noted Sir Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of Penicillin.

Years afterwards, the same nobleman's son

who was saved from the bog was stricken with pneumonia.

What saved his life this time? Penicillin.

The name of the nobleman? Lord Randolph Churchill .. His son's name?

Sir Winston Churchill.

AN IRISH FRIENDSHIP WISH:

I hope it works...

May there always be work for your hands to do;

May your purse always hold a coin or two;

May the sun always shine on your windowpane;

May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain;

May the hand of a friend always be near you;

May God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.

and may you be in heaven a half hour before the devil knows you're dead.
