Joke of the Day: Church Restoration Project

Thought you all would like this

 

Church Restoration Project

There was a tradesman, a painter named Jack, who was very interested in making a dollar where he could. So he often would thin down his paint to make it go a wee bit further. As it happened, he got away with this for some time. Eventually the local church decided to do a big restoration project. Jack put in a painting bid and, because his price was so competitive, he got the job. And so he started, erecting the trestles and putting up the planks, and buying the paint and thinning it down with turpentine.

Jack was up on the scaffolding, painting away, the job nearly done, when suddenly there was a horrendous clap of thunder. The sky opened and the rain poured down, washing the thin paint from all over the church and knocking Jack off the scaffold to land on the lawn.

Jack was no fool. He knew this was a judgment from the Almighty, so he fell on his knees and cried, "Oh, God! Forgive me! What should I do?"

And from the thunder, a mighty Voice spoke, "Repaint! Repaint! And thin no more!"

Free E-book - Little Women by Louisa May Alcott

A lot of us grew up with classic stories...either our favorites, to read as we fell asleep, or assigned in class, and even though we "hated" it then, it stuck in our memory, and now, we realize that it's a classic, and one that we would read again.

Some of us had the classics read to us by our parents, some of us just read it through Cliffs Notes, but eventually, we remember, and sometimes even want to share it with the next generations.

Amazon has Little Women free now, the "Kindle" edition, along with a lot of other classic stories, such as Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen, The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas père, Fairy Tales Every Child Should Know by Hamilton Wright Mabie, Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift...so many, i could fill a blog, just with the books. *laughs*

Here's the link: Amazon's free Little Women on e-book 

Hope you enjoy!

Quotes: Things I found today

Sometimes they really speak to you...sometimes they are just funny.

This is the #1 that I found today, out of some that I re-tweeted...because it fits me so perfectly:

You are only young once, but you can stay immature indefinitely. (I don't wanna grow up, I'm a Toy's R Us kid...)

Dear Elmo, please stop breathing I want to see what color you turn Sincerely, curious.

Two contradictory ones...*laughs*:
It doesn't matter whether you are rich or poor as long as you have money.
I have no desire for money. It's stuff that I want.

At this point, I'm just scared. Because I don't want to lose you. And if I end up loosing you, I won't have anything else to live for.

I’m going to smile and make you think I’m happy. I’m going to laugh, so you don’t see me cry.

Do I actually dream in colour, or is it just a pigment of my imagination?

Some fun ones I came across today, and a couple that hit deep...hope you find something in them, also.

Free Glasses: 3/25 at 12pm EST

I think this is the third time that they have done this, or at least the 3d time that I have seen this. Coastal Contacts is giving away 10,000 pair of free glasses. The only thing you have to pay for is shipping, which I believe is around $12, if I remember my last order.

They came VERY quickly, like a week, from when I ordered them. And they came in "perfect" timing...my son came to visit, and had wire glasses that had broken across the bridge of the nose...irreparable. As a joke, I handed him my glasses, since I was still wearing contacts, and said "here, try these on". Amazingly enough, the prescription worked for him, and saved him for 3 weeks, and is now his backup glasses.

So, at noon EST (9am PST), I would sign on...I think last time, it was very busy, and I didn't get to put in my order til around 9:30 or 9:45am. So I wouldn't wait til the last moment, but I wouldn't worry if you aren't one of the first 5 to enter, either.

So, here's the information on how to get the free glasses...hope it helps some of you!

Jewelry Jokes: Just Some Misc Jokes...*smiles*

Just some jokes that I ran across today, that I thought I would share...some of these strike home. *laughs*

Never tell a woman she is wearing too much jewelry. You should always be politically correct and simply say she is "Metallically Overburdened"!

Being the most conservative guy at work, when Jo walked in the office sporting his new diamond studded hoop earring, he made quite a scene. A colleague approached him to try and question him about his unexpected fashion statement. "Don't make such a big deal out of it!", said Jo, "It's just a diamond earring!". The colleague continued: "I'm just curious to know what made you decide to pierce your ear?". Jo replied: "The fact that my wife accidently found the earring in our bed."

A lady walks into a diamond jewelry store wearing her recently purchased diamond engagement ring. She tells the jeweler: "You sold this ring to my husband a few days ago, but it's the wrong size". The jeweler quickly replies: "that's no problem, ma'am. We could get it resized for you in no time!". "No", answers the lady, "You didn’t seem to understand me. You sold my husband a 1 carat size, when clearly my right size is a 5 carat diamond!". (oh, don't we all agree with this? *laughs*

A woman shows her best girlfriend the brand new diamond engagement ring she just received last night from her fiancée. "Wow!", exclaims her girlfriend, "This is a beautiful diamond ring!". The woman replies: "Yes, it is quite wonderful. The only thing is, this specific diamond is enchanted with a curse". "Really?", asks her girlfriend. "What sort of curse?". The woman replies: "Well, my fiancée, of course!"

Hope you like them! I will hope to post more later!
