Age

George Carlin on age.
(Absolutely Brilliant)

IF YOU DON’T READ THIS TO THE VERY END, YOU HAVE LOST A DAY IN YOUR LIFE. AND WHEN YOU HAVE FINISHED, DO AS I AM DOING AND SEND IT ON.

George Carlin’s Views on Aging

Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we’re kids? If you’re less than 10 years old, you’re so excited about aging that you think in fractions.

Owen And Mzee

Owen and Mzee are a hippopotamus and a tortoise, respectively, that appear to have formed a unique bond of friendship.

A baby hippopotamus, Owen, was orphaned in the Indian Ocean off the coast of Kenya near Malindi during the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake on December 26, 2004. The baby hippo, weighing 600 pounds (270 kg), was rescued during a day long effort by nearly 1,000 villagers using shark nets. Owen’s namesake is a villager named Owen Saubion, who finally tackled the hippo during the rescue.

Most Beautiful Heart

One day, a young man was standing in the middle of the town proclaiming that he had the most beautiful heart. It was perfect. There was not a mark or a flaw in it.

Suddenly, an old man appeared and said, “Your heart is not nearly as beautiful as mine.”

The young man looked at the old man’s heart. It was beating strongly, but it was full of scars, jagged edges and holes. He laughed.

“You must be joking,” he said. “Compare your heart with mine. Mine is perfect and yours is a mess of scars and tears.”

Three Wooden Crosses

A farmer and a teacher, a hooker and a preacher,
Ridin’ on a midnight bus bound for Mexico.
One’s headed for vacation, one for higher education,
An’ two of them were searchin’ for lost souls.
That driver never ever saw the stop sign.
An’ eighteen wheelers can’t stop on a dime.

There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway,
Why there’s not four of them, Heaven only knows.
I guess it’s not what you take when you leave this world behind you,
It’s what you leave behind you when you go.

Heaven And Hell

When John died, an angel came to take him to heaven. While they were on their way, the angel told John that God had granted him a chance to fulfill a last wish as he had been an exceptionally good person.

John had always been curious about how hell was like. So he said, “I always wonder how hell is like. Could we go visit?”

“Very well. Let me take you there now,” the angel obliged.

The Rose

Some say love it is a river
that drowns the tender reed
Some say love it is a razer
that leaves your soul to bleed

Some say love it is a hunger
an endless aching need
I say love it is a flower
and you it’s only seed

It’s the heart afraid of breaking
that never learns to dance
It’s the dream afraid of waking
that never takes the chance

It’s the one who won’t be taken
who cannot seem to give
And the soul afraid of dying
that never learns to live

Are You Deaf?

Leslie was seeing Julia. She had taken a liking to him too. But he was so shy he hardly ever hold her hands, not to talk about even a goodbye kiss.

One night, Leslie and Julia went to the park. It was a beautiful summer night. The moon was big and bright. The breeze was cooling. A perfect night for romance.

Since no one else was around, Leslie perked up his courage to ask Julia gently, “Can I give you a little kiss?”

I Just Called To Say I Love You

No New Year’s Day to celebrate
No chocolate covered candy hearts to give away
No first of spring
No song to sing
In fact here’s just another ordinary day

No April rain
No flowers bloom
No wedding Saturday within the month of June
But what it is, is something true
Made up of these three words that I must say to you
