Being Truly Different

Many people like to think they are different, think for themselves and are not dictated to by others. It isn't easy. I recall being on a coach trip with many youthful types who had a heavy drinking culture. My wife and I chose not to partake but were friendly with all. The rest soon cooled toward us as we turned down their drinking matches and bar hopping.

One young lady confided that she didn't want to be part of it, but knew she would be on the outer if she did what we did. As she said, "It's alright as a couple like you, but for me being on my own it would be too much". We reassured her she could hang around with us but she said she would rather mix with the other singles and put up with their drinking.

I must say being a couple didn't make it easy, but even on my own I would not have joined in. If I believe in something and that costs me, then so be it. It is a display of intolerance when someone will not respect another's right to live as they wish if it is not hurting anyone.

So many like to think they are different but are in fact joined to some group within society where they have to conform. Those who will not toe the line of a particular culture can expect to be somewhat of a loner. Most people cannot accept someone who is different and for those risking their disdain, it is too difficult for them to be truly different.

Sperm Count

OLD people have problems that you haven't even considered yet!

An 85-year-old man was requested by his Doctor for a sperm count as part of his physical exam.

The doctor gave the man a jar and said, 'Take this jar home and bring back a semen sample tomorrow..'

The next day the 85-year-old man reappeared at the doctor's office and gave him the jar, which was as clean and empty as on the previous day.

The doctor asked what happened and the man explained, 'Well, doc, it's like this--first I tried with my right hand, but nothing. Then I tried with my left hand, but still nothing..

'Then I asked my wife for help. She tried with her right hand, then with her left, still nothing. She tried first with the teeth in, then with her teeth out, still nothing.

'She even called up Arleen, the lady next door and she tried too, first with both hands, then an armpit, and she even tried squeezin' it between her knees, but still nothing.'

The doctor was shocked! 'You asked your neighbour?'

The old man replied, 'Yep, none of us could get the jar open.'
