[Nfbk] Some humor for your Friday

WorldStartWhich Service?
One Sunday morning, the pastor noticed little Alex standing in the foyer of
the church staring up at a large plaque. It was covered with names with
small American flags mounted on either side of it.
The seven-year-old had been staring at the plaque for some time, so the
pastor walked up, stood beside the little boy and said quietly, "Good
morning, Alex."
"Good morning, Pastor," he replied, still focused on the plaque. "Pastor,
what is this"? he asked.
The pastor said, "Well, son, it's a memorial to all the young men and women
who died in the service."
Soberly, they just stood together, staring at the large plaque.
Finally, little Alex's voice, barely audible and trembling with fear, asked,
"Which service? The 8:30 or the 10:45"?

When I'm working on a problem, I never think about beauty. I think only how
to solve the problem. But when I have finished, if the solution is not
beautiful, I know it is wrong.
~R. Buckminster Fuller
The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love and to let
it come in.

Success doesn't come to you. You go to it.

Mind Games
As a department head stationed on a Navy vessel, I was concerned about one
of my senior enlisted men. He was a superb technician, but he had a problem
taking orders. One day, I took him aside and suggested he try something that
had worked for me.
"Whenever an officer gives you a directive that you think is stupid," I told
him, "just say, 'Yes, sir.' But in your mind, think, 'You're an idiot!' Will
this work for you"?
He smiled at me and replied, "Yes, sir!"
