When I was in Air Force officer training school my company Commander always had a saying " you can't see the ants for the elephants". The customary practice when you graduated was to give your company Commander a going away gift. We all sat together kind of brainstorming what to give the captain when I just blurted it out how about Uncle milty's ant farm. Everybody just started laughing and rolling on the floor. Next thing you know I was tasked with actually finding one for his presentation just before graduation. When all the other company commanders open their presents everybody went ooh
and wow that's great. When our company Commander opened his ɛresent everybody started laughing and then clapping and it was really hilarious. When we all showed up to class the next day, our captain made it clear that he did not really appreciate what he got for a present! I guess we enjoyed giving the present more than he enjoyed receiving it. LOL

I've got a nephew that was a little rampuncios in his early years. One summer day he took a bow and arrow and decided to see how high it would go.There was slight breeze that day as he let it go in his back yard. He started to noticed that it was starting to come down in the front yard. He ran quickly around the garage only to find the kill shot. The arrow took out his dad's S-10 with a shot through the hood and into the engine. Maybe this where Adam Sandler got his idea of shooting an arrow straight into the air for one of his movies.

An angel appears in a puff of smoke to a man and says to him, "Because you have lived a good and virtuous life, I can offer you a gift: you can be the most handsome man in the world, or you can have infinite wisdom, or you can have limitless wealth.”
Reflecting, the man says, "I'll take the wisdom!”
"Wisdom is yours," says the angel, disappearing in another puff.
The smoke is barely clear before the man thinks, "I should have taken the money."
OK, new rule, to post here, each of us, must read thru** ALL 200+ pages**, and confirm NO reposts BEFORE hitting send.
It is not fair to some of us that get severe hacking fits when seeing a regurgitated funny, this has upper tier insanity issues at play here, and those at risk are are more susceptible.
We live in shaky times.
Please be mindful of us all.

Throw a coin enough times, and suppose one day it lands on its edge.
