NO News

Nothing at all to share with you tonight, I've been to work, yawn, home, yawn, have a pile of paperwork that needs sorted, but I just keep staring at it in the hope that it will disappear and file itself.

and thats about it, so I'll leave you with a joke that Clair sent me.

The Seamstress

One day, when a seamstress was sewing while sitting close to a river, her thimble fell into the river.
When she cried out, the Lord appeared and asked, "My dear child, why are you crying?"
The seamstress replied that her thimble had fallen into the water and
that she needed it to help her husband in making a living for their
family.
The Lord dipped His hand into the water and pulled up a golden thimble
set with pearls.

"Is this your thimble?" the Lord asked

The seamstress replied, "No."

The Lord again dipped into the river. He held out a silver thimble ringed with sapphires.

"Is this your thimble?" the Lord asked.

Again, the seamstress replied, "No."

The Lord reached down again and came up with a leather thimble. "Is
This your thimble?" the Lord asked.

The seamstress replied, "Yes."

The Lord was pleased with the woman's honesty and gave her all three
thimbles to keep, and the seamstress went home happy.

Some years later, the seamstress was walking with her husband along
The riverbank, and her husband fell into the river and disappeared under the water.
When she cried out, the Lord again appeared and asked her, "Why are
You crying?"
"Oh Lord, my husband has fallen into the river!"

The Lord went down into the water and came up with George Clooney.

"Is this your husband?" the Lord asked.

"Yes," cried the seamstress .

The Lord was furious. "You lied! That is an untruth!"

The seamstress replied, "Oh, forgive me, my Lord It is a misunderstanding. You see, if I had said 'no' to George Clooney, you
would have come up with Brad Pitt.
Then if I said 'no' to him, you would have come up with my husband.
Had I then said 'yes,' you would have given me all three. Lord, I'm
Not in the best of health and would not be able to take care of all
Three husbands, so THAT'S why I said 'yes' to George Clooney.

And so the Lord let her keep him.

The moral of this story is: Whenever a woman lies, it's for a good and honorable reason, and in the best interest of others.

That's our story, and we're sticking to it.
Signed,
All Us Women

Hi Roz,
I just found the link to your blog on UKS, so I thought I would pop over and say Hi. I'm fairly new to blogging and have also just discovered how much fun you can have reading other people's blogs. It's addictive! Your's is great by the way, and I'm loving the daily jokes! I have been PMSL reading them all (well most of the January ones).

Looking forward to your next post!

Anthea
PS. Mind if I put a link to your blog on my blog at all? Thanks!
