I'll tell you a joke to explain.... :)) Warning: It is an off-color joke.

A Greek man owned a corner store and every Friday a Chinese man who worked at the nearby mill came in to get his newspaper. Every Friday the Greek man asked the Chinese man, "What day is it today, Charlie?" and Charlie would say, "Today is Fliday."

One day Charlie decided he would learn how to say Friday properly so with the help of his educated son he mastered it. The next Friday he went to the store again and again the Greek man said, "What day is it today, Charlie?"

Charlie said, "Today is Friday, you Gleek plick."

"Pricks" could mean, well, "plicks"

Or "pricks" could mean annoying needle-like sensations.

Thanks Helen. I wonder which way you took it. :)

Good one, Evelyn! A person could take that two ways.

Fable of the Hedgehog

It was the coldest winter ever. Many animals died because of the cold.

The Hedgehogs, realizing the situation, decided to group together to keep warm. This way they covered and protected themselves; but the quills of each one wounded their closest companions.

After awhile, they decided to distance themselves one from the other and they began to die, alone and frozen. So they had to make a choice: either accept the quills of their companions or disappear from the Earth.

Wisely, they decided to go back to being together. They learned to live with the little wounds caused by the close relationship with their companions in order to receive the heat that came from the others. This way they were able to survive.

The best relationship is not the one that brings together perfect people, but when each individual learns to live with the imperfections of others and can admire the other person's good qualities.

The moral of the story is:

Just learn to live with the Pricks in your life!
