Hugging Aunt Kathryn

Ninety-five year old, Aunt Kathryn, was in St. Joseph’s Hospital, recovering from a hip operation. She was in extreme pain and a little confused and disorientated from all the medication, when my wife, Fry, and I walked into her room. Lynn, her niece, told us she wasn’t feeling to good, and it would probably be better if we kept our visit short.
After Fry had talked to her for a little while, Aunt Kathryn asked me, “Would your wife be upset if you gave me a hug?”
“No, Aunt Kathyrn, I’d be glad to give you a hug,” which I was more than happy to do.
After leaving the hospital, I said to my wife, “It isn’t everyday a ninety-five year old lady asks me for a hug.”
“Yeah,” Fry replied, “You’ve still got it honey!”

Money Can Buy Happiness

Conventional wisdom says, “Money can’t buy happiness.” But wouldn’t you be a lot happier if you didn’t have to worry about the wolf being at the door? In other words, if you had enough money to pay your bills, send the kids to college, take an annual vacation and have money put away for your retirement?
In a nutshell: conventional wisdom is not always wisdom.

They Can’t Handle Bars

I rode my bike to high school in Decatur, a small Indiana town in early 1950s. Not too many guys had cars. But there were a couple of kids who drove brand new cherry red convertibles and those guys always seemed to get the prettiest girls. This taught me a valuable lesson. Pretty girls don’t like to ride on handlebars!

Cramming

Lisa’s dad, Lyman, retired and is now living the good life in Florida. “I always wondered why so many older folks go to church on Sunday,” he said, “and I finally figured it out.”
“Why?” Lisa wanted to know.
“Shucks, they’re just cramming for the finals!”

A lot of people will tell you what they think you want to hear, instead of what you really want to hear…and that’s “the truth!”

Four Boxes

The four boxes that keep us free.
The soap box,
The ballot box,
The jury box,
And the cartridge box.
