What's for Dinner?

I have my changed my system for labeling homemade freezer meals. I used to carefully note in large clear letters, "Meatloaf" or "Pot Roast" or "Steak and Vegetables or "Chicken and Dumplings" or "Beef Pot Pie."

However, I used to get frustrated when I asked my husband what he wanted for dinner because he never asked for any of those things. So, I decided to stock the freezer with what he really likes.

If you look in my freezer now you'll see a whole new set of labels. You'll find dinners with neat little tags that say: "Whatever," "Anything," "I Don't Know," "I Don't Care," "Something Good," or "Food." My frustration is now reduced because no matter what my husband replies when I ask him what he wants for dinner, I know that it is there waiting.

Lawyer, Doctor and Clergyman

A dying man gathered his Lawyer, Doctor and Clergyman at his bed side and handed each of them an envelope containing $25,000 in cash. He made them each promise that after his death and during his repose, they would place the three envelopes in his coffin. He told them that he wanted to have enough money to enjoy the next life.

A week later the man died. At the Wake, the Lawyer and Doctor and Clergyman, each concealed an envelope in the coffin and bid their old client and friend farewell. By chance, these three met several months later. Soon the Clergyman, feeling guilty, blurted out a confession saying that there was only $10,000 in the envelope he placed in the coffin. He felt, rather than waste all the money, he would send it to a Mission in South America. He asked for their forgiveness. The Doctor, moved by the gentle Clergymans sincerity, confessed that he too had kept some of the money for a worthy medical charity. The envelope, he admitted, had only $8000 in it. He said, he too could not bring himself to waste the money so frivolously when it could be used to benefit others.

By this time the Lawyer was seething with self-righteous outrage. He expressed his deep disappointment in the felonious behavior of two of his oldest and most trusted friends. "I am the only one who kept his promise to our dying friend. I want you both to know that the envelope I placed in the coffin contained the full amount. Indeed, my envelope contained my personal check for the entire $25,000."

HAVE A FANTASTIC DAY! GOD BLESS,

Hi Marilyn,

Thanks for the smiles and the giggles.  Just goes to show you, the lawyer always seems to figure an angle in the end.

Kinda reminds me of the two Irishmen, Henry and Paddy, who were discussing what they wanted for a final tribute when they passed away.

Looking over at Henry, Paddy said, "If you would do me one wee favor when I pass away, I would be eternally in your debt".

"Why sure," said Henry, "and what might that favor be?"

"Well, you know that I've been saving that grand old bottle of Irish Whiskey for a special occasion", said Paddy.  "I would surely appreciate it, if you would pour that bottle over me grave, after I'm laid to rest."

"Well, you know that I'll be certain to do that very thing for you, my dear old Friend," Henry said.  "And being the fine lad that you are, one who truly appreciates a good bottle of Irish Whiskey, I'm certain that you wouldn't mind if I pass it through me Kidneys first."  

Have A Happy Day,

Phil
