CTO Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 A young boy went up to his father and asked him, 'Dad, what is the difference between 'potentially' and 'realistically'?' The father thought for a moment, then answered: 1. Go ask your mother if she would sleep with Brad Pitt for a million dollars, then, 2. Go ask your sister if she would sleep with Brad Pitt for a million dollars, and then, 3. Go ask your brother if he'd sleep with Brad Pitt for a million dollars. Come back and then tell me what you learned. So the boy went to his mother and asked, 'Would you sleep with Brad Pitt for a million dollars?' The mother replied, 'Of course I would! We could really use that money to fix up the house and send you kids to a great Un iversity!' The boy then went to his sister and asked, 'Would you sleep with Brad Pitt for a million dollars?' The girl replied, 'Oh my Gawd! I LOVE Brad Pitt! I would sleep with him in a heartbeat, are you nuts?' The boy then went to his brother and asked, 'Would you sleep with Brad Pitt for a million dollars?' The brother replied. 'Of course I would! Do you know how much a million bucks would buy?' The boy pondered the answers for a few days and then went back to his dad. His father asked him, 'Did you find out the difference between 'potentially' and 'realistically'?' The boy replied, 'Yes!' 'Potentially, you and I are sitting on three million dollars', 'Realistically, we're living with two hookers and a homo' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTO Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 Sincere Apologies To Everyone, Over the past months I have forwarded funny pictures and jokes to friends who I thought shared the same sense of humour. Unfortunately this wasn't the case and I seem to have upset quite a few people who have accused me of being sexist and shallow. If you were one of these people, please accept my humblest apologies. From now on I will only send emails with a cultural or educational content such as old monuments, nature and other interesting structures. Attached, you'll find a picture of the Pont Neuf Bridge in Paris ..... For those of you who are interested, Pont Neuf is the oldest bridge in Paris and took 26 years to build. Construction began in 1578 and ended in 1604. "Le Pont Neuf" is actually made of 2 independent bridges, one with seven arches and the other with five arches. Fascinating.

CTO Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Perils of a Catholic Upbringing As I walked down the busy sidewalk, knowing I was late for Mass, my eye fell upon one of those unfortunate, homeless vagabonds that are found in every city these days. Some people turned to stare. Others quickly looked away as if the sight would somehow contaminate them. Recalling my old pastor, Father Mike, who always admonished me to 'care for the sick, feed the hungry and clothe the naked,' I was moved by some powerful inner urge to reach out to this unfortunate person. Wearing what can only be described as rags, carrying every worldly possession in two plastic bags, my heart was touched by this person's condition. Yes, where some people saw only rags, I saw a true, hidden beauty. A small voice inside my head called out, 'Reach out, reach out and touch this person!' So I did. I won't be at Mass this week.
