~The Donkey~ (2nd time around)
(Plus: Today in History and Word for the Day.)
An old man, a boy & a donkey were going to town. The boy rode on the donkey & the old man walked. As they went along they passed some people who remarked it was a shame the old man was walking and the boy was riding.
The man and boy thought maybe the critics were right, so they changed positions. Then, later, they passed some people who remarked, "What a shame, he makes that little boy walk."
So they then decided they'd both walk! Soon they passed some more people who thought they were stupid to walk when they had a decent donkey to ride. So, they both rode the donkey.
Now they passed some people who shamed them by saying how awful to put such a load on a poor donkey. The boy and man figured they were probably right, so they decide to carry the donkey.
As they crossed the bridge, they lost their grip on the animal & he fell into the river and drowned.
The moral of the story?
If you try to please everyone, you might as well... Kiss your ass goodbye!***

Thanks Phyl (Phyllis S of Pasadena CA) for sharing the following Einstein Awards with us.
2007 Einstein Awards
Awards are bestowed, honoring the least intell among us.
...And now, the Honorable Mentions:
4. After stopping for drinks at an illegal bar, a Zimbabwean bus driver found that the 20 mental patients he was supposed to be transporting from Harare to Bulawayo had escaped. Not wanting to admit his incompetence, the driver went to a nearby bus stop and offered everyone waiting there a free ride. He then delivered the passengers to the mental hospital, telling the staff that the patients were very excitable and prone to bizarre fantasies. The deception wasn't discovered for 3 days.

mr. chuckles, i will include your site to my favorites. i had fund reading your posts. i will give one funny story so you could post. the title is wit and class;
Wit and Class
A man walks into a bank in New York City and asks for the loan
officer. He tells the loan officer that he is going to Asia
on business for two weeks and needs to borrow $5,000.
The bank officer tells him that the bank will need some form of
security for the loan, so the man hands over the keys of a new Ferrari.
The car is parked on the street in front of the bank.
The man produces the title and everything checks out.
The loan officer agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan.
The bank's president and its officers all enjoy a good laugh at the man
for using a $250,000 Ferrari as collateral against a $5,000 loan. An
employee of the bank then drives the Ferrari into the bank's underground
garage and parks it there.
Two weeks later, the man returned , repay the $5,000 and the
interest, which comes to $15.41. The loan officer says, "Sir, we are very happy
to have had your business, and this transaction has worked out very
nicely, but we are a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked you out
and found that you are a multimillionaire. What puzzles us is, why would
you bother to borrow $5,000?"
The man replied: "Where else in New York City can I park my car for two
weeks for only $15.41 and expect it to be there when I return?"
