Larry smiles warmly and nods. "Oh, God and I are tighter than ever, Doc. He looks out for me in ways you wouldn't believe. Because my eyesight is getting so bad, He fixed it so that whenever I have to get up in the middle of the night to use the restroom, poof! The light automatically turns on for me. And when I'm all done, poof! The light automatically turns off so I can go right back to sleep."
The doctor is amazed. "Wow, Larry, that truly sounds like an incredible spiritual connection."
Later that evening, the doctor feels compelled to call Larrys house to check in with his wife, Bonnie.
"Bonnie," the doctor says, "Larry is in perfect health. But I just had to call because Im completely in awe of his connection with the universe. He told me that when he gets up in the night to use the restroom, a bright light magically turns on for him, and when he finishes, it automatically goes out. Is that really true?"
Bonnie sighs deeply over the phone and yells, "Oh, sweet Jesus! Hes peeing in the refrigerator again!"
But with gate power comes gate responsibility.
They fell all over themselves in an effort to be the one to reach her first, but ended up arriving in front of her all at the same time.
The males were speechless before her beauty, hoping for just a glance from her
in return.
Aware of her charms and her obvious effect on the three suitors, she decided to be kind and told them,
The first one who can use the words liver and cheese together in an imaginative, intelligent sentence can go out with me.
The sturdy, muscular black Lab spoke up quickly and said, I love liver and cheese.
Oh, how childish, said the poodle. That shows no imagination or intelligence whatsoever.
She turned to the tall shiny Golden Retriever and said How well can you do?
Ummmm...I HATE liver and cheese, blurted the Golden Retriever.
My, my, said the Poodle, I guess its hopeless. Thats just as dumb as the Labs sentence.
She then turned to the last of the three and said, How about you, little guy?
The last of the three, tiny in stature but big on finesse, was the chihuahua.
He gave her a smile, a sly wink, turned to the Golden Retriever and the Lab and said, Liver alone, cheese mine."
I've spent my life repairing clocks. I never turned away someone who couldn't afford it. Promise me that whenever someone brings you a broken clock, you'll fix it first. If they can't pay, don't charge them.
his children kept the promise
Years passed
Then decades
then centuries
The family workshop never closed.
Whenever a clock stopped, someone from the family would repair it, smile, and leave without asking for anything in return.
People traveled from all over the world just to meet them.
Eventually, historians wrote about the family's tradition.
They called it...
a second-hand business................
"Geez, that's a huge lighter...where'd you get that from?"
The guy replies "A genie from this bottle granted me one wish."
"That's crazy! A genie?? can I try it?"
"Sure."
The first guy rubs the bottle and the genie appears. "You are granted one wish" says the genie.
The guy says, "I want a million bucks!"
"Done" says the genie and disappears.
A few minutes go by and suddenly the bar door swings open and in come the ducks. Thousands and thousands of ducks, all falling over each other getting through the bar door.
"I can't believe this," says the guy who had just placed his wish, "I asked for a million bucks, not a million ducks!"
The second guy then says, "Do you really think I wished for a 12 inch Bic?"
