Building Your House

An elderly carpenter was ready to retire. He had been a fine craftsman building many houses over his career. All the house owners were proud to live in the beautiful houses he built.

The carpenter told his employer-contractor of his plans to leave the house-building business. He wanted to live a more leisurely life with his wife and enjoy his extended family. Sure he would miss the paycheck each week, but he had some savings and the children were all grown up. They would chip in so he and his wife could get by.

There was a rich merchant who had 4 wives. He loved the 4th wife the most and adorned her with rich robes and treated her to delicacies. He took great care of her and gave her nothing but the best.

He also loved the 3rd wife very much. He’s very proud of her and always wanted to show off her to his friends. However, the merchant is always in great fear that she might run away with some other men.

Fish and Chips Fuel Honeymoon

An Australian engineer and his English bride have embarked on an environmentally friendly honeymoon trek around Australia, using waste vegetable oil from fish and chip shops to fuel their travel.

Civil engineer Gerard Mimmo, 36, and his wife Rachel, 28, hope to drive 30,000km in a specially converted four-wheel-drive, which they named the Battered Fish due to the pungent smell of its exhaust fumes.

The pair have so far made it more than 1000km from Sydney to Brisbane in the vehicle, which can use both diesel and vegetable oil.

Listen

A couple was on the verge of divorce. The husband still loved the wife and wanted to save the marriage. So he went to the pastor for council.

“Don’t argue with your wife. Keep quiet and listen to what your wife has to say,” suggested the pastor.

A month later, the husband told the pastor he had learnt to listen to every word his wife said.

“Good. Now it’s time to learn to listen to every word your wife doesn’t say,” the pastor said.

Take Action

Once upon a time, a fortunate young man, Tom, chanced upon a deity. The deity told him, “In the years to come, you’ll have the opportunities to gain a fortune, make yourself a name, and marry a beautiful wife.”

Tom was very happy to hear all the good things coming. He couldn’t wait to live his life. Instead, he went on to lead a hard life till he passed away.

As soon as he left the earthly world, Tom met the deity again. Angrily, Tom questioned the deity, “You said you were giving me a fortune, a respectable social status and a beautiful wife. But what did I get? Nothing! Not one of them came true in my whole life!”
