Observations

People cannot be judged by what they do in ignorance, rather what they do once they have a true understanding.

A friend does not believe gossip about you, but he will also not pretend all is well when you do wrong.

The proud overestimate themselves, but a humble person knows his true worth.

The selfish take and think they will be happy, but miss out on the real satisfaction that unselfishness brings.

Help is for those deserving, but giving to a lazy one does no one any favours.

Greed is never satisfied, and is therefore not fulfilling.

A true peacemaker actively seeks to sort out problems, even if it means admitting their fault in the matter.

Overly Helpful Usher

An elderly woman walked into the local country church. The friendly usher greeted her at the door and helped her up the flight of steps. "Where would you like to sit?" he asked politely.

"The front row, please," she answered.

"You really don't want to do that," the usher said. "The pastor is really boring."

"Do you happen to know who I am?" the woman inquired.

"No," he said.

"I'm the pastor's mother," she replied indignantly.

"Do you know who I am?" he asked.

"No," she said.

"Good," he answered.

What Fish Do All Day

I used to wish I was a fish,
Swimming through the weeds.
No sums to do, no spelling too,
Or history to read.

Then I found,
While swimming 'round,
The silly little fools,

Just didn't play,
Or laze all day,
But spent their time in schools


From the 'Beryl the Peril' annual, 1969.

The Stubborn Old Man?

An old man lay sprawled across three entire seats in the movie theatre. When the usher came by and noticed this, he whispered to the old man, "Sorry sir, but you're only allowed one seat."

The old man didn't budge.

The usher became more impatient. "Sir, if you don't get up from there I'm going to have to call the manager".

Once again, the old man just muttered and did nothing. The usher marched briskly back up the aisle, and in a moment he returned with the manager. Together the two of them tried repeatedly to move the old disheveled man, but with no success. Finally they summoned the police.

The officer surveyed the situation briefly then asked, "All right buddy what's your name?"

Fred," the old man moaned.

"Where you from, Fred?" asked the police officer.

With a terrible groan in his voice, and without moving, Fred replied "The balcony."
