PHOTO DROP

PHOTO DROP
The photographer for a national magazine was assigned to get photos of a great forest fire. Smoke at the scene was too thick to get any good shots, so he frantically called his home office to hire a plane.
"It will be waiting for you at the airport!" he was assured by his editor.
As soon as he got to the small, rural airport, sure enough, a plane was warming up near the runway. He jumped in with his equipment and yelled, "Let's go!
Let's go!" The pilot swung the plane into the wind and soon they were in the air.
"Fly over the north side of the fire," said the photographer, "and make three or four low level passes."
"Why?" asked the pilot.
"Because I'm going to take pictures! I'm a photographer, and photographers take pictures!" said the photographer with great exasperation and impatience.
After a long pause the pilot said, "You mean you're not the instructor?"

Don't Worry ... It's Right There on the Home Page

Don't Worry ... It's Right There on the Home Page
This small not-for-profit organization is looking for ways to cut costs,
and one obvious solution is to make all the research it produces available
on a Web site, says a technician working there.
"That will wean subscribers away from bound reports, which are expensive to
print and mail," he says.
"A big selling point is that this makes all the latest information
immediately accessible, rather than subscribers having to wait for the
report to be updated and printed every several years."
"Another advantage is that subscriber companies could make the information
available to more people in the organization."
Everybody wins. What could go wrong?
Electronic versions of the reports are uploaded. Then a slick, full-color
brochure is designed and printed, touting the benefits of using the Web site.
"After the marketing piece is distributed, it is proudly displayed at a
staff meeting," says the technician.
"Only one problem -- no one bothered to let the editors look over the
brochure before it was approved for printing."
"We immediately noticed that the Web address appeared nowhere in the entire
brochure."

The Little Red Hen

The Little Red Hen - Modern VersionOnce upon a time, on a farm in Indiana, there was a little red hen who scratched about the barnyard until she uncovered quite a few grains of wheat. She called all of her neighbors together and said, "If we plant this wheat, we shall have bread to eat. Who will help me plant it?""Not I," said the cow."Not I," said the duck."Not I," said the pig."Not I," said the goose."Then I will do it by myself," said the little red hen. And so she did;The wheat grew very tall and ripened into golden grain."Who will help me reap my wheat?" asked the little red hen."Not I," said the duck."Out of my classification," said the pig."I'd lose my seniority," said the cow."I'd lose my unemployment compensation," said the goose."Then I will do it by myself," said the little red hen, and so she did.At last it came time to bake the bread."Who will help me bake the bread! ?" asked the little red hen."That would be overtime for me," said the cow."I'd lose my welfare benefits," said the duck."I'm a dropout and never learned how," said the pig."If I'm to be the only helper, that's discrimination," said the goose."Then I will do it by myself," said the little red hen. She baked five loaves and held them up for all of her neighbors to see. They wanted some and, in fact, demanded a share. But the little red hen said, "No, I shall eat all five loaves.""Excess profits!" cried the cow."Capitalist leech!" screamed the duck."I demand equal rights!" yelled the goose.The pig just grunted in disdain.And they all painted "Unfair!" picket signs and marched around and aroundthe little red hen, shouting obscenities.Then a government agent came, he said to the little red hen, "You must notbe so greedy." "But I earned the bread," said the little red hen."Exactly," said the agent. "That is what makes our free enterprise systemso wonderful. Anyone in the barnyard can earn as much as he wants. Butunder our modern government regulations, the productive workers mustdivide the fruits of their labor with those who are lazy and idle,"And they all lived happily ever after, including the little red hen, who smiled and clucked, "I am grateful, for now I truly understand," But her neighbors became quite disappointed in her. She never again baked bread because she joined the "party" and got her bread free.And all the Democrats smiled. 'Fairness' had been established. Individual initiative had died, but nobody noticed; perhaps no one cared.....as long as there was free bread that "the rich" were paying for.Bill Clinton is getting $12 million for his memoirs.Hillary got $8 million for hers.That's $20 million for memories from two people, who for eight years,repeatedly testified, under oath, that they couldn't remember anything.IS THIS A GREAT COUNTRY, OR WHAT?

A young preacher

A young preacher was asked by the local funeral director to hold a grave-side burial service at a small local cemetery for someone with no family or friends. The preacher started early but quickly got himself lost, making several wrong turns. Eventually, a half-hour late, he saw a backhoe and its crew, but the hearse was nowhere in sight, and the workmen were eating lunch.
The diligent young pastor went to the open grave and found the vault lid already in place.
Taking out his book, he read the service. Feeling guilty because of his tardiness, he preached an impassioned and lengthy service, sending the deceased to the great beyond in style.
As he was returning to his car, he overheard one of the workmen say: "I've been putting in septic tanks for twenty years and I ain't never seen anything like that."
