The House of 1000 Mirrors.

Hi Folks ~~ I hope you have had a great weekend or in the midst
of having one. Mine has been Great until a few minutes ago when
I pressed PUBLISH and did that several times, and getting the
message Published, but it wasn't and has gone for good. Apart from
that all is well, John came around and did a couple of small jobs for
me AND my football team had a win after 6 losses. That was a nice
change and I hope they can win a few more now.

The article I have now is called The House of 1000 Mirrors. The
author is unknown, and it's a Japanese folktale. Enjoy.

Long ago in a small, far away village, there was a place known
as the House of 1000 Mirrors. A small happy little dog learned
of this place and decided to visit. When he arrived, he bounced
happily up the stairs to the doorway with his ears lifted high and
his tail wagging as fast as it could.

To his great surprise, he found himself staring at 1000 other happy
little dogs with their tails wagging just as fast as his was. He smiled
a great smile, and was answered with 1000 great smiles just as warm
and friendly. As he left the House, he thought to himself, "This is a
wonderful place. I will come back and visit it often."

In the same village, another little dog, who was not quite as happy
as the first one, decided to visit the house. He slowly climbed the
stairs and hung his head low as he looked in the door. When he saw
1000 unfriendly dogs staring back at him, he growled at them and
was horrified to see 1000 little dogs growling back at him. As he left,
he thought to himself, "That is a horrible place, and I will never go
back there again."

All the faces in the world are mirrors. What kind of reflections do
you see in the faces of the people you meet ?

First joke is from Warren - Thanks Mate !! "Irish Doctor."

A doctor wanted to get off work and play golf, so he approached
his Irish assistant, Paddy.
"I'm going golfing tomorrow Paddy and I want you to take care
of the clinic and our patients." "Yes, sir !" said Paddy.

The doctor goes off to golf and returns the following day and
asks: "So Paddy, how was your day?"
Paddy told him he took care of three patients.

"The first one had a headache so I gave him Panadol."
"Bravo Mate and the second one ?"
"The second one had stomach burning, so I gave him Aspirin."
"Excellent. You're good at this, and what about the third ?"

"Well I was sitting here and suddenly the door opens and a woman
enters. Like a woman possessed, she undresses herself, taking off
everything and lies on the table and shouts : "HELP ME ! For five
years I haven't seen a man !"

"Good God, says the doctor. What did you do ?"
"I put drops in her eyes !!"

A couple gets married and the wife puts a foot locker in the bedroom.
She locks it, then puts the only key on a chain around her neck. For
fifty years, her husband tries to figure out what's in there, but she
always changed the subject and avoided the issue.

Finally on the night of their fiftieth anniversary, he says to her, "I've
got to know what's in the trunk." She takes the key, unlocks the foot
locker, and inside there's two ears of corn and $25,000, The guy
says, "What's with the two ears of corn?"

She says, " Well, umm, in the fifty years, every time I broke our
marriage vows, I put an ear of corn in the trunk." The guy figures,
"Twice in fifty years, not so bad. . . ." Then he says, "And what's
with the $25,000?"
She says, "Well, every time I got a bushel, I sold it !!"

Two guys are out hiking when all of a sudden, a bear starts
chasing them. They climb a tree, but the bear starts climbing up
the tree after them.

The first guy gets his sneakers out of his knapsack and starts
putting them on. The second guy says, "What are you doing?"
The second guy says, "I figure when the bear gets close to us,
we'll jump down and make a run for it."

The second guy says, "Are you crazy? You can't outrun a bear."
The first guy says, "I don't have to outrun the bear . . . . . I only
have to outrun you !!"
