Hello, What is the time?
|
Every Monday morning for years, at about 11:30 am, the telephone
operator in a small Sierra-Nevada town received a call from
a man asking the exact time.
One day the operator summed-up the nerve to ask him why
the regularity.
"I'm foreman of the local
sawmill," he explained. "Every day, I have to
blow the whistle at noon, so I call you to get the exact
time."
The operator giggled, "That's
really funny," she said. "All this time, we've
been setting our clock by your whistle.

Say Hello to your best friends!
A man and his dog were walking along a road. The
man was enjoying the scenery, when it suddenly occurred to him that
he was dead. He remembered dying, and the dog walking beside him
had been dead for years. He wondered where the road was leading
them. After a while, they came to a high, white stone wall along
one side of the road. It looked like fine marble..
At the top of a long hill, it was broken by a tall
arch that glowed in the sunlight. When he was standing before it,
he saw a magnificent gate in the arch that looked like mother-of-pearl,
and the street that led to the gate looked like pure gold. He and
the dog walked towards the gate, and as he got closer, he saw a
man at a desk to one side.
When he was close enough, he called out, 'Excuse me,
sir, where are we?'
'This is Heaven, sir,' the man answered..
'Wow! Would you happen to have some water?' the traveller
asked.
'Of course, sir. Come right in, and I'll have some
ice water brought right up.'
The man gestured, and the gate began to open. 'Can
my friend,' gesturing towards his dog, 'come in, too?' the traveller
asked. 'I'm sorry, sir, but we don't accept pets.' The man thought
a moment and then turned back towards the road and continued the
way he had been going with his dog.
After another long walk, and at the top of another
long hill, he came to a dirt road leading through a farm gate that
looked as if it had never been closed. There was no fence. As he
approached the gate, he saw a man inside, leaning against a tree
and reading a book.... 'Excuse me!' he called to the man. 'Do you
have any water?'
'Yeah, sure, there's a pump over there, come on in.'
'How about my friend here?' the traveller gestured
to the dog.
'There should be a bowl by the pump,' said the man.
They went through the gate, and sure enough, there
was an old-fashioned hand pump with a bowl beside it.
The traveller filled the water bowl and took a long
drink himself, then he gave some to the dog.
When they were full, he and the dog walked back towards
the man who was standing by the tree..
'What do you call this place?' the traveller asked.
'This is Heaven,' he answered.
'Well, that's confusing,' the traveller said.
'The man down the road said that was Heaven, too.'
'Oh, you mean the place with the gold street and pearly
gates? Nope.. That's hell.'
'Doesn't it make you mad for them to use your name
like that?'
'No, we're just happy that they screen out the folks
who would leave their best friends behind.'
So friends, take that phone or open your email
to say "Hello" to your best friends to show them that
they are important, remembered and cared for. Don't leave your friends
behind!
