JOKE OF THE MOMENT

The businessman dragged himself home and barely made it to his chair before he dropped exhausted.  His sympathetic wife was right 
there with a tall cool drink and a comforting word.  "My, you look tired," she said.  "You must have had a hard day today.  What 
happened to make you so exhausted?" "It was terrible," her husband said.  "The computer broke down and all of us had to do our own 
thinking."

BUMPER STICKER OF THE MOMENT

Seen on a plumber's truck..."Don't sleep with a drip. Call a plumber."

WISH OF THE MOMENT

A man was walking along a sunny beach and stumbled upon an old lamp. He picked it up, rubbed it and out popped a genie. The genie said "OK. OK. You released me from the lamp...You only get one wish!" The man thought for a while, then said, "I've always wanted to go to Hawaii, but I'm scared to fly and I get very seasick. Could you build me a bridge to Hawaii so I can drive over there to visit?"

The genie laughed, "That's impossible! Think of the logistics of that! How would the supports ever reach the bottom of the Pacific? Think of how much concrete . . how much steel!! No way! Think of another wish!"

The man sighed, then wracked his brain for a really good wish. Finally, he said, "I've been married and divorced four times. My wives always said that I don't care and that I'm insensitive. So, I wish that I could understand women . . . know how they feel inside and what they're thinking when they give me the silent treatment . . .know why they're crying, know what they really want when they say, 'nothing' and finally really know how to make them truly happy ."

The genie said, "You want that bridge with two lanes or four?"

SAVE TIME FOR A MOMENT

One of the number one concerns of my clients all over the world is lack of time. Everyone is juggling so much these days, drowning in paperwork, overwhelmed by the clutter and trying to get everything done...all huge causes of headaches! Zap that stress with a vital time management tip. With every piece of paper, document, mail, correspondence you see...Always remember the three D's.... 1. Do 2. Delegate 3. Dump In summary: Take action on that document or assignment right away! Or give it to someone qualified to do it for you. Or toss it in the trash...it's just gonna sit around gathering dust in some pile anyway! DO SOME SPRING CLEANING IN YOUR HOME OR OFFICE...AND DO, DELEGATE OR DUMP! This will save you so much time and best of all clear away all the clutter. If you'd like coaching support to get you started, feel free to contact me!

TASTY MEAL OF THE MOMENT

A sign posted on the wall of an Army mess read: ''Don't Waste Food - Food will win the war.'' Beneath someone had written: "That's fine, but how do we get the enemy to eat it?"

DREAMS OF THE MOMENT

Do you have a life-long dream? Itching to do a certain something? Well, really…what are YOU waiting for?! My dear friend Jean Benda is 57 years young and her burning desire was to fly on a trapeze. Last week she felt it was “high” (yes pun intended) time to go for it!

"When I saw the trapeze school, I didn't know anything like that existed. As a child I loved the circus movies and attending the circus with my parents. I always thought it was not available to just regular people. I watched other people at the school - all of various ages from 7 and up. I felt I was in fairly good physical condition and thought just what am I waiting for? So I gave it a try. I was shaking and scared and very sore. I was terrified with every swing, but finished the class with being caught from hanging upside down from my knees and letting go! Free for just a few seconds and trusting that the stranger swinging upside down at the other end would be there arms outstretched and catching me.

I learned that I had the courage to try something new and to have an open mind and to trust those inner nagging instincts when your mind is occupied with various ideas from being so so practical and responsible to the outrageous."

YAY JEAN! WHAT AN INSPIRATION! Now what about you, dear reader?! I’d love to hear your "Dreams Can Come True" stories…no matter what age!

As for me, I have always had a kinship with the sea and my life-long dream was to swim with those wonderful, smart, friendly dolphins with whom I felt so connected. While in Bermuda recently, the notion that “Dreams DO come true" was evident as you can see by the below photo that I can’t wipe the big grin off off my face.”

Is there something you would love to do? Maybe now is the time….

WHOOPS OF THE MOMENT

This guy goes skydiving for the first time. After he jumps out of the plane, he counts to ten, pulls the ripcord, and nothing happens. Only a little worried, he pulls the cord for the auxiliary parachute, but unfortunately, the chute still does not appear. As he is plummeting toward the Earth, he sees a woman coming up the other way. He shouts to her "Do you know anything about parachutes?" "No", she says, "do you know anything about gas stoves?"

BET OF THE MOMENT

The distinguished professor and his chauffeur were talking one day on the way to the next speaking engagement, and the driver said, "I've sat in the back and listened to your presentation so many times that I can give it just as well as you can."

The professor said "I'll bet you can't. Just to prove it, we'll trade clothes in the hotel, and I'll sit in the back."

The chauffeur delivered the lecture flawlessly, and the audience applauded him roundly. Then a pompous professor from the local university, wishing to impress his colleagues in the audience, stood and asked a very specific question concerning the driver's presentation.

The driver said, "I am amazed that you would ask such a silly question. The answer is so obvious that I am going to ask my chauffeur, who is sitting in the back, to answer your ridiculous question."

911 CALL OF THE MOMENT

Emily Sue passed away and Billy-Bob called 911. The 911 Operator told Billy-Bob that she would send someone out right away. "Where do you live?" asked the operator.
Billy-Bob replied, "At the end of Eucalyptus Drive."
The operator asked, "Can you spell that for me?"
There was a long pause and finally Billy-Bob said, "How 'bout if I drag her over to Oak Street and you pick her up there?"

WORST ATTORNEY OF THE MOMENT

ATTORNEY: Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse?
WITNESS: No.
ATTORNEY: Did you check for blood pressure?
WITNESS: No.
ATTORNEY: Did you check for breathing?
WITNESS: No.
ATTORNEY: So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy?
WITNESS: No.
ATTORNEY: How can you be so sure, Doctor?
WITNESS: Because his brain was sitting in a jar on my desk.
ATTORNEY: But could the patient have still been alive, nevertheless?
WITNESS: Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law.
