On the first day, God created the dog and said, “Sit
all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone
who comes in or walks past. For this, I will give
you a life span of twenty years.”
The dog said, “That’s a long time to be barking. How
about only ten years and I’ll give you back the other
ten?”
So God agreed……
On the second day, God created the monkey and said,
“Entertain people, do tricks, and make them laugh.
For this, I’ll give you a twenty-year life span.”
The monkey said, “Monkey tricks for twenty years?
That’s a pretty long time to perform. How about I
give you back ten like the dog did?”
And God agreed……
On the third day, God created the cow and said, “You
must go into the field with the farmer all day long
and suffer under the sun, have calves and give milk
to support the farmer’s family. For this, I will
give you a life span of sixty years.”
The cow said, “That’s kind of a tough life you want
me to live for sixty years. How about twenty and
I’ll give back the other forty?”
And God agreed again……
On the fourth day, God created humans and said, “Eat,
sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. For this,
I’ll give you twenty years.”
But the human said, “Only twenty years? Could you
possibly give me my twenty, the forty the cow gave
back, the ten the monkey gave back, and the ten the
dog gave back; that makes eighty, okay?”
“Okay,” said God. “You asked for it.”
So that is why for our first twenty years, we eat,
sleep, play and enjoy ourselves. For the next forty
years, we slave in the sun to support our family.
For the next ten years, we do monkey tricks to
entertain the grandchildren. And for the last ten
years, we sit on the front porch and bark at everyone.
The James Gang, The Dalton Gang and the Off-Wheeler Gang in Ash Fork. There was the Sam Bass Gang and the Wild Bunch. These names invoke images of an untamed west. Where cattle was rustled to pay for gambling and wild women. These men were required to live by their wits and their guns. And the Cataract Creek Gang in Williams, well… Read the rest of this entry »
MARIETTA, Ohio (WSAZ) – ‘Tis the season for giving and, as donations pour into thrift stores, a local Goodwill received a $1,500 donation, according to information from out sister station WTAP.
The only problem is it’s illegal in stores and on the street.
Sorry, donation is not for sale. Police say the owner is welcome to claim it, though.
On Friday, employees at a Goodwill store in Marietta opened a donated water jug and found about found four bags of marijuana that together equal about a pound. Police say it has a street value of around $1,500 but because this was an anonymous donation, there’s really no way of telling who or where the pot came from
“If anybody would like to come in and claim this “cooler,” which is probably an antique, we would love to have them come in and we’ll be more than happy to try and get that cooler returned to them,” Marietta Police Capt. Jeff Waite said.
Police say the marijuana appears to be more than a year old and probably was donated by accident.
