Thought For The Week

‘A smile confuses an approaching frown’ ~Author Unknown

The following are two light hearted stories! A farmer was trying to get his donkey to move on but the donkey was having none of it and refused to move. The farmer was getting frustrated, roaring and shouting at the poor donkey. Then he picked up a stick to whip the donkey when a car skidded to a halt next to him and out steps a stunningly beautiful woman. She gave out to the farmer, “How dare you shout and roar at this poor animal and worse again that you should hit him with a stick. You need to be gentle and give it some words of encouragement.” With that she went over to the donkey, stroked its ear, rubbed its nose, kissed its mane and talked ever so sweet to the donkey. Sure enough the donkey happily set off on its travels. The woman turned round to find your man stretched on the ground. “Oh my God” she shouted, “Are you ok?” “Oh I’m fine” he said, “but I think I need some encouragement too!!”



The wise old Mother Superior was dying. The nuns gathered around her bed, trying to make her comfortable. They gave her some warm milk to drink, but she refused it. Then one of the nuns took the glass back to the kitchen and added some whiskey into the warm milk. Back at the Mother Superiors bed, she held the glass to her lips. Mother drank a little, then a little more and before they knew it the glass was gone, down to the last drop. “Mother, Mother”, the nuns whispered, “please give us some wisdom before you leave us.” She raised herself up and with a pious look on her face, she looked out the window and said, “Don’t sell that cow!”
