Reply #38: Your quote reminds me of a quote, a story, and a joke... [View All]

One of my former co-workers used to liken things like 'Corporate Welfare' as "Buying someone else Fireworks,
it's just no fun."

A friend of mine learned the value of money the hard way... He told me when he was a young man he worked very hard for
a very small weekly amount of money on his Grandfather's farm. He would work all week and then when he was paid on
Saturday, (typically only a couple of Dollars) he'd rush over to the local store and buy a couple of firecrackers.
"Wee! Pop! Pop!" and it was gone. In hindsight, he decided those milliseconds of excitement, just weren't worth
all of the work during the week.

I'm sure we've all heard the one about the guys preparing for a camping trip... One guy watches the other take out
the wax-coated all-weather matches, light each one, blow it out and carefully stick it back into the box. The guy
watching just can't believe what he's seeing and he yells out, "What the heck are you doing!" The Match Lighter
replies, "I want to make sure they work before we get out in the middle of nowhere and really need them."


Hahaha!

uh, well... Ha!

Heh... I guess you had to be there. :/
