This Night Owl Blog has given so much! It is a fun place, we don't bash and we have fun being "tedious"! We offer advice, give love, lots of free food and an open forum which can be about anything that is important, thought provoking or just plain silly. And sometimes we just March (some to different drummers, but all together). :) It is not about a single person, it is about all the people on any given day blended together.....Goldie!
An older gentleman goes into a bar and hears the other patrons discussing the ups and down of marriage."Next week my wife and I will celebrate our fiftieth anniversary," he tells them."That's great. What's your secret for a long and happy marriage," one asks."Well, you have to do nice things for your wife.""Such as?""Well, for our twenty fifth anniversary I took her to Italy .""That is nice. What are you going to do for your fiftieth?""I'm going back to visit her."
Paddy McCoy, an elderly Irish farmer, received a letter from the Department for Work and Pensions stating that they suspected he was not paying his employees the statutory minimum wage and they would send an inspector to interview them.On the appointed day, the inspector turned up."Tell me about your staff," he asked Paddy."Well," said Paddy, "there's the farm hand, I pay him £240 a week, and he has a free cottage.Then there's the housekeeper. She gets £190 a week, along with free board and lodging.There's also the half-wit. He works a 16 hour day, does 90% of the work, earns about £25 a week along with a bottle of whisky and, as a special treat, occasionally gets to sleep with my wife.""That's disgraceful" said the inspector, "I need to interview the half-wit.""That'll be me then," said Paddy.
One day God was looking down at earth and saw all of the rascally behavior that was going on. So He called one of His angels and sent the angel to earth for a time.When he returned, he told God, ‘Yes, it is bad on earth; 95% are misbehaving and only 5% are not.’God thought for a moment and said, ‘Maybe I had better send down a second angel to get another opinion.’So God called another angel and sent him to earth for a time. When the angel returned he went to God and said, ‘Yes, it's true. The earth is in decline; 95% are misbehaving, but 5% are being good.’God was not pleased. So He decided to e-mail the 5% who were good, because he wanted to encourage them, and give them a little something to help them keep going.Do you know what the e-mail said?Okay, I was just wondering, because I didn't get one either.
