[Well, everybody else has cool pictures of where they live. I took this one on the front porch of Union Station while waiting in a LOOOOOONG taxi line a week or two ago when everything was messed up on the metro, and I missed the Gally shuttlebus to campus. And no, I have not retired yet. Somebody yesterday said, "You're just staying on for the joy of it!!!" You guessed!!
Even Santa can have a bad day, but I didn't know about the start of this Christmas tradition until reading the following sweet little story:
When 4 of Santa's elves got sick, and the trainee elves did not produce the toys as fast as the regular ones, Santa was beginning to feel the pressure of being behind schedule.

ANGER MANAGEMENT (thanx to M'reen)
Husband: "When I get mad at you, you never fight back. How do you control your anger?"
Wife: "I clean the toilet."
Husband: "How does that help?"
Wife: "I use your toothbrush."
A CHRISTMAS TRADITION (thanx to Jimmy F)
Even Santa can have a bad day, but I didn't know about the start of this Christmas tradition until reading the following sweet little story:
When 4 of Santa's elves got sick, and the trainee elves did not produce the toys as fast as the regular ones, Santa was beginning to feel the pressure of being behind schedule.
Then Mrs. Claus told Santa that her Mom was coming to visit.
This stressed Santa even more.
When he went to harness the reindeer, he found that 3 of them were about to give birth, and 2 had jumped the fence... More stress!!
Then when he began to load the sleigh one of the boards cracked and the toy bag fell to the ground and scattered the toys all over the place.
Frustrated, Santa went into the house for a cup of apple cider and a shot of rum.
When he went to the cupboard he discovered that the elves had hidden the liquor...
so there was nothing to drink.
In his frustration he accidentally dropped the cider pot, and it broke into hundreds of little pieces all over the kitchen floor.
He went to get the broom and found that mice had eaten the straw end of the broom.
Just then the doorbell rang, and irritable Santa trudged to the door.
He opened the door and there was a beautiful, little angel with a great big Christmas tree. The angel said very cheerfully, "Merry Christmas,Santa. Isn't it a lovely day? I have a beautiful tree for you. Where would you like me to put it?"
And so began the tradition of the little angel on top of the Christmas tree...

Hi again, Dont mention dear old blogger to me at the moment I've just spent half an hour trying to put a xmas video on, only for blogger eventually popping up saying "try later" due to technical problems !!!.I like the joke anyway.
ReplyDeletebigbikerbob:
ReplyDeleteif you get it to work, pass along the secret.
personally, i think it's the old blogger trick of saying "try later" six times and then allowing it to work on the seventh try.
or having it work just fine but on a little window BEHIND the one you're sweating over.
