What does integrity mean to you?

My son is taking karate lessons now (he's 4). My wife goes to each class but the class is scheduled while I am at work. After each session, the man who gives the class talks to the students about things like honesty, integrity, honor, etc. Today after the session, the instructor asked the kids if they knew what integrity was. None of then did. The instructor said that if someone drops their glasses, and you see it happen, you should pick up the glasses and return them. At dinner tonight, my wife asked my son what integrity means. He said he didn't remember. My wife said, "What do you do if someone drops their glasses?" My son thought for a moment, "I should pick them up and then....run away?" heh. Kids are great!

Humorous Post of the Week

With all the "how to get a job" sites out there, I am glad to see someone has started a site for the other side of the story. SimplyFired.com's tagline is: If You Don't Laugh, You'll Cry. This is a fun site (at least for those not recently fired) with stories about getting fired. There's a blog, stories and videos. Some of the videos are killer funny. Check out the video, "Job Interview Gone Bad (You've been Googled!)" A fun way to waste some time.

Top 10 Reasons History Will Be Kind to George W Bush

Before leaving his job, Karl Rove said that he thinks history will be kind to Bush.  I agree.  I decided to put together this list of the top 10 reasons that history will be kind to George W Bush.

History will be kind to George W Bush because:

10.  It wasn't his fault.  It was that mean kid in Iraq.

9.  Presidents are not responsible for hurricanes.  And apparently not responsible for responding to hurricanes.

8.  No matter who is elected in 2008, they can help but look good in comparison.

7.  It wasn't his fault.  It was that mean kid in North Korea.

6.  He tried to help America by setting a new standard for vacation days.

5.  He didn't shoot any friends in the face.

4. It wasn't his fault.  It was that Axes, Axial, Axs group of evil guys.

3.  He saved so much money by not rebuilding the Gulf Coast.

2.  Even people who hated Clinton now look back fondly on his term.

And the #1 reason history will be kind to George W Bush: because history's mama said that if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all!

What if a corporation was run like comments on a blog?

This video is incredibly funny. Be aware that the language is adult even though the humor is juvenile.

Weekly Funny - Sarcastic Wednesday

Have you ever heard of Hoops and Yoyo? They are a couple of characters that Hallmark uses in e-greeting cards. There is one card called Sarcastic Wednesday. I was introduced to this card in the middle of an all day business meeting. I laughed so hard I was crying. After you finish watching that one, check out some of the others. Apparently, they are so popular, they even have their own website in the UK, Hoops and Yoyo UK. You can even get lessons on manners such as how to sneeze in public. ;-) I just did a youtube search and you're in luck! Hoops and Yoyoy are have several videos on youtube including Sarcastic Wednesday: Enjoy, LewisC

Man loses leg, fails to notice

From the realm of, "I bet that leaves a bruise!", comes this story from CNN: Japanese biker fails to notice missing leg. According to the story, a Japanese biker was tooling along, minding his own business, when he hit a safety barrier. Ok, at this point, I'm thinking he may have been a little tipsy. Hey, it happens. Have a few brewskis, lose control of your motorbike. Been known to happen. This one, however, gets better. Our Japanese biker guy continues on after hitting the barrier for 1.2 miles. He only stopped because he was at the next junction. His buddy stops and picks up the first guys leg. Can you imagine his reaction? "Holy crap dude! You left a floater!" When he stops, he notices that he feels a bit lighter. Have you ever had that, "I feel like I'm a foot lighter" feeling? He and his, newly liberated, appendage are shipped off to the nearest hospital but the leg is unable to be reattached due to the amount of damage. How can you not feel that your leg has been crushed completely off? In all fairness, the story does say he was unable to negotiate a turn, not that he was drunk. He says he DID feel excruciating pain. I would have to be so stoned, I couldn't even start the bike. This happened in Tokyo. LewisC

Would you like a firmer butt? Give your butt a lift!

I kid you not, you can now give your butt a facial! Spas across the US are now offering "Butt Facials". These reverse facials promise to tighten, lift and tone you flabby butt. Fortunately, these are advertised as "non-invasive", as a butt facial should be. According to one recipient, "it's a stress reliever and relaxing." At anywhere from $65 per session to $650 for a treatment, it better plate my butt in gold!
