Isn't It ?

Post 79 - - - - - Tuesday, 28 November 2006.

Hi Everyone ~~ Good to be back with you once more.

I hope all is going well for you and there are no major

problems. Little ones, we can cope with, biggies are a

bit more difficult. But we can do it, folks !!

Well the shopping is done and put away, and I got a few

extras for Christmas. It has been very hot today, so it

was good to get back home and inside to the cooler!!!

Yesterday, I had trouble getting on to the Net and the

day before, had trouble signing in. So far, so good today.

I found a nice poem called “Isn’t it?” Strange name but

it is OK. I hope you enjoy it

Isn’t it hard when you’re out to tea

And you’re as hungry as you can be,

Isn’t it difficult not to take

The very largest piece of cake?

Isn’t it ?

Isn’t it hard when you’re in a fight

And trying to win with all your might,

Isn’t it difficult not to cheat

And use your teeth and your nails and feet?

Isn’t it ?

Isn’t it hard in the cricket team

To be twelfth man when your secret dream

Is to be the captain? It’s hard to wait,

Hoping some fellow will turn up late,

Isn’t it ?

Isn’t it hard when you’re filled with shame

Because some fellow has got the blame

For the lie you told? How it hurts your pride

To make the admission that you have lied,

Doesn’t it ?

So weather the storm till the worst is past

And you will come safely to port at last,

For each small victory you have won

Is one step nearer the great “Well done,”

Isn’t it ?

Another joke John sent - - - Mother knows best !!

Peter invited his mother over for dinner. During the meal, his mother couldn't help noticing how beautiful Peter's flatmate was. She had been suspicious for some time of a relationship between Peter and his flatmate and this had only made her more curious.

Over the course of the evening, while watching the two interact, she started to wonder if there was more between them than met the eye.

Reading his mother's mind, Peter volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, mum, but I assure you, we are just good friends."

About a week later, Sara, the pretty flatmate, came to Peter and said, "Ever since your mother came to dinner I been unable to find the beautiful silver gravy ladle from the kitchen. You don't suppose she took it, do you?"

Peter pondered this for a while, and after a week or so, he couldn't stand it any longer so he wrote to his mother.

/"Dear Mother, I'm not saying that you did take the silver gravy ladle from the kitchen when you were here at tea the other night and I'm not saying you didn't take it. But the fact remains that, it has been missing ever since the night you came here for tea." /

Several days later, Peter received a reply to his letter.

/"Dear /Peter/, I'm not saying that you do sleep with Sara and I'm not saying that you don't. But the fact is that, if she were sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the gravy ladle. Love, Mum."

and go to Heaven.

A distaught man ran into the doctor’s office.

“Doc !” The man screamed, “I’ve lost my memory.”

“When did this happen ?” asked the doctor.

The man looked at him and said, “When did what happen ?”

He finally invested in a hearing aid after becoming virtually

deaf. It was one of those invisible hearing aids.

“Well, how do you like your new hearing aid?” asked his doctor.

“I like it great. I’ve heard sounds in the last few weeks that I didn’t know existed.”

“Well how does your family like your hearing aid ?”

“Oh, nobody in my family knows I have it yet. Am I having a great time !! I’ve changed my will three times in the last two

months.”

Why was the headmaster worried ?

Because there were too many rulers in the school.
