All of his life Ole had heard stories of an amazing family
tradition.It seems that his father, grandfather and great-grandfather
had all been able to walk on water on their 21st birthday.

On that day, they’d walk across the lake to the boat club for their first legal drink. So when
Ole’s 21st birthday came around, he and his pal Sven took a boat out to
the middle of the lake. Ole stepped out of the boat and nearly drowned!

Sven just barely managed to pull him to safety.

Furious and confused, Ole went to see his grandmother. “Grandma, it’s my
21st birthday, so why can’t I walk across the lake like my father, his
father, and his father before him?”

Granny looked into Ole’s eyes and said, “Because, you dummy, your
father, grandfather and great-grand father were born in January; you were
born in July.

The man: “God, how long is a million years?”
God: “To me, it’s about a minute.”
The man: “God, how much is a million dollars?”
God: “To me it’s a penny.”
The man: “God, may I have a penny?”
God: “Wait a minute.”

When you have had one of those “take this job and shove it” days, try this.

On your way home after work, stop at your pharmacy and go to the section where they have thermometers. You will need to purchase a rectal thermometer made by Q-TIP. Be very sure that you get this brand.

When you get home, lock your doors, draw the drapes, and disconnect the phone so you will not be disturbed during your therapy. Change to very comfortable clothing, such as a sweat suit and lie down on your bed.

Open the package containing the thermometer and remove the thermometer and carefully place it on the bedside table so that it will not become chipped or broken.

Take the written material that accompanies the thermometer and as you read it you will notice in small print the statement that “every rectal thermometer made by Q-Tip is PERSONALLY tested.”

Now close your eyes and say out loud five times, ” I am so glad that I do not work in quality control at the Q-Tip Company.”
