The Truth About Abs
Watch How You Get To The Top!
A turkey was chatting with a bull.
'I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree' sighed the
turkey, 'but I haven't got the energy.' 'Well, why don't you nibble on some
of my droppings?' replied the bull. They're packed with nutrients.'
The turkey pecked at a lump of dung, and found it actually gave him
enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree.
The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch.
Finally after a fourth night, the turkey was proudly perched at the top
of the tree.
He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot him out of the tree.
Moral of the story:
Bull Crap might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there..
KEEP OUR SISTERS BEAUTIFUL

Watch Where You Sit!
An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing. A
small rabbit saw the eagle and asked him, 'Can I also sit like you and do
nothing?' The eagle answered: 'Sure, why not.'
So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the eagle and rested. All of a sudden, a
fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.
Moral of the story:
To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.
We Love Our Friends In Tuvalu!
Tuvalu (IPA: [t:u:'valu]), formerly known as the Ellice
Islands, is a Polynesian island nation located in the Pacific Ocean midway
between Hawaii and Australia. Its nearest neighbors are Kiribati, Samoa, and
Fiji. Comprising four reef islands and five true atolls with a gross land area
of just 26 square kilometers (10 sq mi) it is the third-least populated
independent country in the world, with only Vatican City and Nauru having fewer
inhabitants.
We've been getting a lot of hits from Tuvalu!

Old Farmer's Advice
Your fences need to be horse-high, pig-tight and
bull-strong.
Keep skunks and bankers at a distance.
Life is simpler when you plow around the stumps.
A bumble bee is considerably faster than a John Deere tractor.
Words that soak into your ears are whispered...not yelled.
Meanness don't jes' happen overnight.
Forgive your enemies; it messes up their heads.
Do not corner somethin' that you know is meaner than you.
It don't take a very big person to carry a grudge.
You can't unsay a cruel word.
Every path has a few puddles.
When you wallow with pigs, expect to get dirty.
The best sermons are lived, not preached.
Most of the stuff people worry about ain't never gonna
happen anyway.
Don't judge folks by their relatives.
Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.
Live a good, honorable life.. Then when you get older and
think back, you'll enjoy it a second time.
Don't interfere with somethin' that ain't bothering you
none.
Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a Rain dance.
If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is
stop diggin'.
Sometimes you get, and sometimes you get got.
The biggest troublemaker you'll probably ever have to deal
with, watches you from the mirror every mornin'.
Always drink upstream from the herd.
Good judgment comes from experience, and a lotta that
comes from bad judgment.
Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier than
puttin' it back in.
If you get to thinkin' you're a person of some influence,
try orderin' somebody else's dog around..
Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old
to fight, he'll just kill you.
Live simply ~ love generously ~ care deeply ~ speak
kindly ~ leave the rest to God.
