A husband and his blonde wife were in bed asleep. About 2 AM they both awoke to the neighbours dog barking extremely loudly...

After lying there for the next 30 minutes unable to go to sleep, she tells her husband to go do something about the barking dog. He tells her he has tried to tell the dog to be quiet before and the dog always continues to bark !

There's nothing HE can do...

After another 15 minutes of barking, in frustration, the blonde wife retorts,"Well, if you won't do anything, I WILL !"

She jumps out of bed and disappears outside. A few minutes later she is back in bed.

The husband sat up in bed, and still hears the dog barking.

He asks, "I thought you said you could fix the barking problem... I still hear him barking !"

She replies, "I DID fix the problem ! I tied the dog in OUR yard !

LET'S SEE HOW THE NEIGHBOURS LIKE THAT !"

A thought for the day.


 
 
 
Nothing in the world
can take the place of
Persistence.
Talent will not;
nothing is more common than
unsuccessful men with talent. 
      
Genius will not;
unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. 

Education will not;
the world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and determination alone
are omnipotent.

The slogan 'Press On' has solved
and will always solve
the problems of the human race.
 
Calvin Coolidge

In a Tottenham church Sunday morning a preacher said, "Anyone with 'special needs' who wants to be prayed over, please come forward to the front of the altar." With that Leroy went forward, and when it was his turn the preacher asked Leroy “What do you want me to pray about for you?”

Leroy replied, "Preacher, I need you to pray for help with my hearing."

The preacher put one finger of one hand in Leroy's ear, placed his other hand on top of Leroy's head, and then prayed and prayed and the whole congregation joined in with much enthusiasm.

After a few minutes, the preacher removed his hands, stood back and asked, "Leroy how is your hearing now?"

Leroy answered, "I don't know. It ain't 'til Thursday."
