Wisdom
From A
Laugh 161
The Worst Day
Bob went over to his friend Joe's house and was amazed at how
well Joe treated his wife. He often told her how attractive she
was, complimented her on her cooking and showered her with
hugs and kisses.
"Gee," Bob remarked later, "you really make a big fuss over
your wife".
"I started to appreciate her more about six months ago," Joe
said. "It has revived our marriage and we couldn't be happier."
Inspired, Bob hurried home, hugged his wife and told her how
much he loved her and said he wanted to hear all about her day.
But she burst into tears. "Honey," Bob said, "what’s the
matter?".
"This has been the worst day," she replied. "This morning Billy
fell off his bike and broke his ankle, then the washing machine
broke. Now to top it off, you come home drunk !".
Reflections
* A person’s good unexpected action or behavior can
be misconstrued even though there’s sincerity.
* A husband and wife should not take each other for
granted. Appreciation, trust, love and understanding
must be shown always and not just once in long while.

A Laugh 162
High Blood Pressure
When a physician remarked on a new patient's
extraordinarily ruddy complexion, he said, "High
blood pressure, Doc. It comes from my family."
"Your mother's side or your father's?" the doctor
asked.
"Neither," he replied. "It's from my wife's
family."
"Oh, come now," the doctor said. "How could
your wife's family give you high blood
pressure?"
He sighed. "You ought to meet them sometime,
Doc!"
Reflections
* High Blood Pressure can be attributed to various
factors: genetic, too much salt intake, and stress.
* We must learn to have the right attitude towards our
work and relationship with others. A mind that is calm,
free from worry, anger or ill-will will be healthier.
