What some people say...
Some people come into our lives & quickly go
Some people move our souls to dance
They awaken us to new understanding
With the passing whisper of this wisdom.....
Some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon
They stay in our lives for awhile
Leave footprints on our hearts
& we are never, never the same again....

JOKES 4.6.2009
A woman in an expensive, meticulously maintained car is driving down a country road. Suddenly she sees a man running hard with three huge dogs snapping at his heels.
She is troubled by the fact that this sweaty person will sully her upholstery, but she accepts that she has to rescue him. She pulls over and shouts, "Get in!"
"You're very kind," gasps the man, jumping in. "Most peope would not offer me a lift when they see I have three dogs."

Teacher: Now, Sam, tell me frankly, do you say your prayer before eating?
Sam: No, sir, I don't have to, my mum is a good cook.
At a school gathering, one little old lady approached a cute 5-year old girl and asked her where she got her good looks.
" I must have got 'em from my Daddy," said the littele girl,"cause mummy's still got hers."
Teacher: Desmond, your composition on "My Dog" is exactly the same as your brother's. Did you copy his?
