Moving Chant

"Moving Chant"*

*There was a woman who spent some months
serving G~d in Kenya. On her final visit to a
remote township she attended a medical clinic.

As the Maasai women there began to sing together,
she found herself deeply moved by their hauntingly
beautiful harmonies. She wanted to always
remember this moment and try to share it with
friends when she arrived home. With tears flowing
down her cheeks, she turned to her friend and
asked, "can you please tell me the translation of
the words to this song?"

Her friend looked at her an solemnly replied, "If you
boil the water, you won't get dysentery."

"Hitchhiking Monkey"*

*A man was driving down the highway in his pick-up
truck and there was this lone monkey just sitting
along the side of the road. Confused, the man
stopped the truck and opened the door. "You need a lift?" he asked.

The monkey just stared back at him and scratched his head.

Eventually the man got out, picked the monkey up,
put it in his front seat and started down the road again.

At this time there was a state trooper cruising down
in the opposite direction. The policeman happened to
see the man pick up the monkey. Knowing that it was
not only illegal to pick up hitch hikers, but also illegal
to have a monkey, he pulled the man over a few miles
down the road. The policeman chewed the man out
for picking up the monkey and told him to take it to the
zoo immediately. The man agreed and was off.

The next day the policeman saw the man driving down
the highway with the monkey again. So he pulled the
man over and said, "I thought I told you to take that monkey to the zoo."

"I did," replied the man, "and we had so much fun that
today we're going to Sea World!"
