HUMOUR

 

Humour

"A person without a sense of humour is like a wagon without springs, jolted by every pebble in the road."
Henry Ward Beecher

"Humour is just another defence against the universe."
Mel Brooks

"Optimism and humour are the grease and glue of life. Without both of them we would never have survived our captivity. "
Philip Butler

"A sense of humour is part of the art of leadership, of getting along with people, of getting things done."
Dwight D. Eisenhower

"Humour is a rubber sword - it allows you to make a point without drawing blood."
Mary Hirsch

"On average, children laugh 400 times per day. Adults, on the other hand, only laugh 15 times per day. The difference why adults laugh so much less - because adults have children!"
Jay Leno

"Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he isn't. A sense of humour was provided to console him for what he is. " Horace Walpole

Icebergs

An iceberg is a good analogy of our character and personality. The tip of the iceberg is what is seen first by other people; our personality. The part that lies underneath the water is our character, which lays unseen and hidden. Our personality is our image, techniques and skills that influence our outward success, but our true success will come from the goodness of our character that lies beneath the surface.

QUICK JOKE

"Take a pencil and paper," the teacher said, "and write an
essay with the title 'If I Were a Millionaire.'"

Everyone but Philip, who leaned back with arms folded, began
to write furiously.

"What's the matter," the teacher asked. "Why don't you
begin?"

"I'm waiting for my secretary," he replied.

BUYING WEIGHTS

Somewhat skeptical of his son's newfound determination to
become the next Charles Atlas, the father nevertheless
followed the teenager over to the weight-lifting department.

"Please, Dad," whined the boy, "I promise I'll use them every
day."

"I don't know, Michael. It's really a big commitment on your
part," the father pointed out.

"Please, Dad?"

"They're not cheap either."

"I'll use them Dad, I promise. You'll see."

Finally won over, the father paid for the equipment and headed
for the door.

From the corner of the store he heard his son yell, "What! You
mean I have to carry them to the car?!"
