Rest

"Rest"

Tom had this problem of getting up late in the
morning and was always late for work. His boss
was mad at him and threatened to fire him if he
didn't do something about it.

So Tom went to his doctor who gave him a pill
and told him to take it before he went to bed.
Tom slept well and in fact beat the alarm in the
morning. He had a leisurely breakfast and
drove cheerfully to work.

"Boss", he said, "The pill actually worked!"

"That's all fine," said the boss, "But where were you yesterday?"

"Tough Cowboy"

A tough old cowboy from Amarillo, Texas, counseled
his grandson that if he wanted to live a long life, the
secret was to sprinkle a pinch of gunpowder on his
oatmeal every morning.

The grandson did this religiously to the age of 103.

When he died he left 14 children, 30 grandchildren,
45 great grand-children, 25 great-great grand
children, ... and a 15 foot hole where the
crematorium used to be.
