As workmen started building the hospital, the big boss, the chief
engineer, gathered them together. "Men," he said, "if you can get
this job done in record time, I'll treat you all to a huge beer bust!"
The workmen went at it with a fury, building three complete floors of
the tall structure in just one day! They eagerly sought out the chief
engineer, who presented them with a shot glass of beer. The men were
disgusted, and asked how the boss could be that stingy. He replied,
"A pitcher is worth a thousand wards."

At the panhandlers' convention, there were many speakers who shared
their creative ideas on how to make money while living on the streets.
The best-received of all presenters was a man who advocated this grand
strategy: First you select a place where huge amounts of people
gather--preferably rich people. Then you scope out these people to
determine their chief interest. Now instead of using a variety of
approaches to asking for money, you think up one major question that
is bound to get the attention of this particular group, and bound to
tug at their heart strings (and purse strings). You shout this
question at the top of your lungs, for example, "WON'T YOU PLEASE GIVE
ME $10,000 RIGHT NOW? This convention presenter titled his method
"Putting all your begs in one "ask it!"
There were these two guys stranded in a desert without any water. They had
been wandering aimlessly for days until one day they came upon a bustling
marketplace - right in the middle of the desert! At first they thought it
was a mirage, but when they heard the sounds of the peddlers hawking their
wares and the customers squabbling for bargains, they rushed in. They went
to the nearest shop and said to the bearded shopkeeper, "O, most esteemed
son of the desert, do you have a little water to spare for two parched
travellers?" The merchant replied, "I am sorry, effendi, but I cannot help
you. All I have are these confections of sponge cake with custard, jelly,
fruit and cream." The travellers went on to the next store and begged the
owner, "A thousand greetings, oh glorious vendor of luxury goods. Could you
spare us some water?" The reply was, "Please accept my pardons, good sirs,
for all I have are these confections of sponge cake with custard, jelly,
fruit and cream." The two men were desperate now, and they grabbed hold of a
passing vendor and gasped, "Water..please." He said, "Ah, it is a great
misfortune for me that I cannot assist you. Alas, I possess only these
confections of sponge cake with custard, jelly, fruit and cream." The men,
exasperated, left the market. A little later, one of them said, "Odd, wasn't
it; such a big market in the middle of the desert, and all they're selling
is confections of sponge cake with custard, jelly, fruit and cream." The
other remarked, "Yes, it was a trifle bazaar."
Mamma Lion and Pappa Lion were going for a hunt, so they told the baby lions
to remain in their cave until they returned. The baby lions were young and
restless, so soon after their parents had left, they went out to hunt for
gnus. Soon, they managed to catch a couple of gnus and kill them. They had a
hearty meal. As one of the lion cubs was taking his last bite of gnu flesh,
he saw Mum and Dad returning, and said to his siblings, "That was the end of
the gnus. And here are the head lions."

Once upon a time, in the Ancient East, some men were chosen at random,
gathered together, and told they'd be auditioned for a high position
in the King's harem. The very thought of this--daily contact with all
those beautiful concubines--was incredibly exciting, and very
intimidating. The men were dressed in jeweled servants' clothes, and
given huge feather fans. Their job, they were told, was to keep the
king cool by a graceful movement of their fans, and the best man would
get to spend the night with the king's most beautiful concubine! They
were allowed to practice their fanning, and even got lessons from the
head of all the king's servants. They did very well together, but
they started quaking in their boots when they learned they'd not
audition as a group, but one by one! They were all so intimidated,
that each man hesitated and cowered when asked to demonstrate his
fanning abilities. So, one by one, each was eliminated from the
competition. They later adopted the motto, "Together we fanned,
divided we stall."
Oh, comb on. Did they later give each other the brush-off?
They loved to curl up together, but their passion came in streaks.
When saying grace at the table, they said, "Let us spray." That's because
they were holy rollers. But when they went to bed, they gave each other a
blow-dry job.

Oscar the farmer was having a bad year. In the spring, floods had
destroyed much of his crop, and subsided too late to reseed. Now,
drought and insects were reducing his yield still further. It was
beginning to look like he wouldn't even grow enough food for his
family, let alone have a surplus to sell.
In desperation, he went to visit old man Plowright, who had been
farming in the valley since the glaciers left (it was rumored).
"Put wormwood in the fireplace", advised Mr. Plowright.
So, Oscar went home, thoroughly puzzled. However, he did as he was
told.
The next morning, he and his family were greeted by a fireplace full
of corn and cabbages and asparagus and all sorts of vegetables. After
they had eaten their fill, Oscar sat dejectedly. "What's the matter?",
asked his wife, "we haven't had so much food in months."
"Some farmer I am," Oscar said sadly. "I should have figured out for
myself that absinthe makes the hearth grow fodder."

Reminds me of the traveler who went to India to learn meditation. He
was especially interested in learning to rest on the traditional bed of
nails. Somehow he couldn't quite do it, so he sought advice from the
visiting Tibetan monk (who was also a musician), who was holding
seminars in Delhi. The monk told the traveler that he needed to start
with something simpler and work up to the bed of nails. The guru
suggested finding locating something hard and lumpy and spreading a
pallet over it. If that worked all right, he would be ready to move on
to the next stage of his spiritual journey. The traveler got his
bedding, but had a hard time finding something hard and lumpy as the
monk has suggested. Finally he came across the room where the monk had
his musical instruments laid out on the floor. Seeing the trumpets,
trombones, and sousaphones, the traveller realized how hard and lumpy
they were! He quickly spread his pallet across them, and could hardly
wait for evening to come to try everything out.
As he left the room, he met the monk, who naturally said, "It looks to
me like your cot on the horns of a Delhi lama."

When he returned home his wife tearfully informed him that his pet polar
bear had gone missing. Distraught, he hunted high and low (mostly low,
on ice floes) to no avail. Couldn't find the baby bear anywhere.
Several days later whilst out fishing, far from home, he happened upon
a large iceberg. High up a steep cliff on the iceberg he spied a cave
entrance. Carefully he climbed the cliff and in the farthest corner of
the cave, found a deep crevice. Sure enough, thirty meters down, wedged
between jagged pieces of ice, he spied a tiny furry bundle, whimpering
pitifully, .
Realizing he would need ropes and help to retrieve the bear, the Eskimo
hastened back to his village. Next day, equipped with ropes, poles, and
accompanied by all his friends and relatives, he trekked back to the
iceberg. There, they began the laborious task of extracting the still
whimpering bundle from it's precarious location, deep in the icy chasm.
All day and into the night, they labored, until finally the tiny
(now ominously silent) bundle was inched to the surface.
Overcome with emotion and filled with apprehension, the Eskimo forced
himself to pick up the tiny lifeless object, whereupon he realized
that it was a wrong numb bear.
Who would have thought that she was just a pretty fleece?

Before the Lone Ranger found his sidekick, Tonto, he had another
Indian for a companion, who loved people, but was too shy to speak.
To compensate, every chance he got, he'd open a window, lean out and
wave enthusiastically to the people passing by outside. The Lone
Ranger nicknamed him "Waver," and people throughout the Wild West knew
him by that name. Waver had one big phobia, that came on after he
fell out of a second-story window that did not have a window-sill.
He was terrified of leaning out of a window to wave, unless it did
have a good, strong sill. Since few windows in those days were built
that way, the Lone Ranger was always on the lookout for one. Whenever
he and his sidekick were riding through a strange town, as soon as
he'd spot one he'd yell, "Hi, Ho Waver, a Sill!"

I cannot believe that the purpose of life is to be "happy."
I think the purpose of life is to be useful, to be responsible,
to be compassionate. It is above all, to matter, to count,
to stand for something; to have made some difference
that you lived at all.
