RAMBLING THE PROBLEM WITH FUN Of all the effective methods of communication, humor must be close to the top. Subtle messages are sent that may be changing the way we think about right and wrong. It is the small foxes that destroy the vine. When did I become a full blown alchoholic?...was it the first drink or the sixth or seventh? I remember a while ago there was a radio or tv commercial that boasted that one particular rum or wine was the STANDARD by which all others were judged. So do we all have standards? All of the earlier years in sabbath / sunday school etc was about setting standards. Long before computers and software and tweeking...daddy used to be making comments like " I don't like your settings". So we don't always wear our morals on our sleeves so to speak but we ALL have them. My mother used to be very tough about girls that giggled. I never understood why...back then....I think I am beginning to get it. another one of mommys sayings was yu haffe tek sleep an pikchur death. I have to share workspace with some females.....can you see where this is going...... The cousel of the ungodly..... be yourself and enjoy life. Stop worrying about everyone else and You'll be a lot happier And Live longer! IS THIS TRUE? The soft answer turneth away wrath... the receptionist was a large unfriendly woman In a very loud voice, the receptionist said.... in an equally loud voice he replied, ========================== THE BODY'S IMMUNE SYSTEM is not compromised overnight.... the jamaican saying about carrying bucket go a wel an de buket bottom dropout the girls are giggling a lot again....the first time this happened to me...I didn't even see it coming almost twenty years ago....the gigling.....I ran straight off the cliff....crashed and burned...for quite a while....almost mortally wounded....definately scarred..marked for life !! Just now I was laughing hilariously, you be the judge....I hope you understand these are the emails that were sent. NUMBER ONE SNOTTY RECEPTIONIST An older gentleman had an appointment to see the urologist who shared offices with several other doctors. The waiting room was filled with patients.As he approached the receptionist desk he noticed that the receptionist was a large unfriendly woman who looked like a Sumo wrestler. He gave her his name. In a very loud voice, the receptionist said, 'YES, I HAVE YOUR NAME HERE; YOU WANT TO SEE THE DOCTOR ABOUT IMPOTENCE, RIGHT?' All the patients in the waiting room snapped their heads around to look at the very embarrassed man. He recovered quickly, and in an equally loud voice replied, 'NO, I'VE COME TO INQUIRE ABOUT A SEX CHANGE OPERATION, BUT I DON'T WANT THE SAME DOCTOR THAT DID YOURS. NUMBER TWO The Pastor's Ass The pastor entered his donkey in a race and It won.. The pastor was so pleased with the donkey That he entered it in the Race Again, and it won again. The local paper read: PASTOR'S ASS OUT FRONT. The Bishop was so upset with this kind of Publicity that he ordered The Pastor not to enter the donkey in another race. The next day, the local paper headline Read: BISHOP SCRATCHES PASTOR'S ASS This was too much for the bishop, so he Ordered the pastor to get Rid Of the donkey. The pastor decided to give it to a nun in a Nearby convent. The local paper, hearing of the news, posted The following headline The Next day: NUN HAS BEST ASS IN TOWN. The bishop fainted. He informed the nun that she would have to Get rid of the donkey, so she Sold it to a farmer for $10. The next day the paper read: NUN SELLS ASS FOR $10 This was too much for the bishop, so he Ordered the nun to buy back The Donkey and lead it to the plains where it could run Wild.. The next day the headlines read: NUN ANNOUNCES HER ASS IS WILD AND FREE The bishop was buried the next day. The moral of the story is . .. Being Concerned about public opinion Can bring you much grief and misery .. . Even shorten your life. So be yourself and enjoy life. Stop worrying about everyone else's ass and You'll be a lot happier And Live longer! |

THERE IS NOTHING WRONG with a little entertainment, but Barbadians should avoid overdoing it.
This was one of the messages delivered by former head of the Anglican Church in Barbados, Bishop Rufus Brome, yesterday in a sermon at St James Parish Church.
"Don't get me wrong . . . We (Christians) are not killjoys. We ought to be able to have amusement and to laugh and to enjoy ourselves, but don't let it be the end-all and be-all of life."
