Got any Grapes?

A ducks walks into a bar and asks, "Got any grapes?"

The bartender, confused, tells the ducks that no, his bar doesn't serve grapes. The duck thanks him and leaves.

The next day, the duck returns and says, "Got any grapes?"

Again, the bartender tells him that, “no, the bar does not serve grapes, has never served grapes, and, furthermore, will never serve grapes.” The duck, a little ruffled, thanks him and leaves.

The next day, the duck returns, but before he can say anything, the bartender begins to yell: ''Listen, duck! This is a bar! We do not serve grapes and if you ever ask for grapes again, I will nail your little duck beak to the bar!''

The duck is silent for a moment, and then asks, ''Got any nails?''

Confused, the bartender says “no”!

''Good!'' says the duck. ''Got any grapes?”

Former Bush Press Secretary Tony Snow's Parting Words

Commentator and broadcaster Tony Snow announced that he had colon cancer in 2005.

Following surgery and chemotherapy, Snow joined the Bush Administration in April 2006 as press secretary. Unfortunately, on March 23, 2007, Snow, 51, a husband and father of three, announced the cancer had recurred, with tumors found in his abdomen,- leading to surgery in April, followed by more chemotherapy.

Snow went back to work in the White House Briefing Room on May 30, but has resigned since, 'for economic reasons,' and to pursue 'other interests.'

He died last week.

A Cop and a Drunk

A Cop pulled a car over for speeding.

When the Cop asked the driver why he was traveling 95mph, the driver answered that he was a juggler on his way to do a show for a birthday party and didn't want to be late.

The Cop told the driver he was fascinated by juggling, and if the driver would do a little juggling for him that he wouldn't give him a ticket.

The driver told the Cop that he had sent all of his equipment on ahead and didn't have anything to juggle.

The Cop told him that he had some flares in the trunk of his patrol car, and asked if he could juggle them.

The juggler stated that he could, so the Cop got three flares, lit them and handed them to the juggler.

While the man was doing his juggling act, a car pulled in behind the patrol car. A drunk got out, watched the performance briefly, went over to the patrol car, opened the rear door and got in.

The Cop observed him doing this, and went over to the patrol car, opened the door and asked the drunk what he thought he was doing.

The drunk replied, "You might as well haul my behind to jail, cause there's NO way I’ll pass that test."

Confidence Builders

Three months ago I started observing and recording the number of confidence builders that I am doing each day. The longer and more consistently I recorded my progress, the better I got. Check out the following link for a worksheet on how to develop a confidence list. In this age of chaos and uncertainty, it is more important that ever to have confidence so that we may instill confidence in others, giving hope, certainty and clarity in unstable times.

OPPONENTS CARRY HITTER AROUND BASES AFTER HOME RUN

This is one of the more inspiring stories I've read in awhile. I hope it encourages you like it did me. I hope it reflects the heart and soul of our family knowing that TOGETHER, WE'RE BETTER.

With two runners on base and a strike against her, Sara Tucholsky of Western Oregon University did something she had never done before – even in batting practice. In a crucial game against Central Washington University, she smashed a pitch over the center field fence for an apparent three-run home run.

But it was what the opposing team did that made the play so memorable. Check out the full story below.
