June 18th is Father's Day, and I would be remiss if I didn't share with you one of my Dad's favorite jokes of all time. Now, in telling it, he usually would get the setup wrong, get the punch line wrong, but one thing you could count on was that he always couldn't stop laughing all the way through the telling of the joke. I miss my Dad. Happy Father's Day, Pop! Now... As I partially laugh, and cry at the same time... here it is... | A homeowner wakes up one morning to find a gorilla in his tree that is in his back yard. So he looks in the yellow pages and sure enough, there's an ad for "Gorilla Removers." He calls the number, and the gorilla remover says he'll be over in 30 minutes. The man arrives, and gets out of his van. He's got a ladder, a baseball bat, a shotgun and a mean old pit bull. "What are you going to do," the homeowner asks? "I'm going to put this ladder up against the tree, then I'm going to go up there and knock the gorilla off the branch with this baseball bat. When the gorilla falls out, the pit bull is trained to grab his testicles and not let go. The gorilla will then be subdued enough for me to put him in the cage in the back of the van." He hands the shotgun to the homeowner. "What's the shotgun for?" asks the homeowner. "If the gorilla knocks me off the ladder, shoot the damn dog!!" |
People around my work tend to needle me a bit about 2 things. First was an article I wrote for the Metro last year about me being content with my life. Second is the fact that... And I'll admit it... I'm rather frugal with my money. A good friend of mine, Frank Merriam, lives by the saying... "You can't put a price tag on a good time!" That saying is so true with life so short. I think you should always live for the moment. With that being said, however, I think the saying "The best things in life are free!", is a better motto for me. My final thought this month are the best things in my life... AND THEIR FREE!!! -Kelly
