2 pieces of Humor / Jokes with Life Lessons to Reflect upon to grow in Wisdom

1. Wisdom
From A
Laugh 29
The Mugger
Late one night in a big city, a mugger wearing a ski mask
jumped into the path of a well-dressed man. He threatened
the man with his gun.
Mugger : Give me all YOUR money unless you don’t
want your life.
Man : Hey, do you know who I am … I am a Government
Minister and a famous politician.
Mugger : In that case, give my MY money and the Rolex
watch you’re wearing.
Reflection
a) In a precarious situation, not even the ‘very
important person’ can be spared. On the contrary,
things could be worse for the corrupted ‘V.I.P.’
b) Ego and Greed very often cloud the mind … it
then lacks clear thinking and wisdom.

2. Business Cards
An airliner was having engine trouble and the pilot
instructed the cabin crew to have the passengers take their
seats and get prepared for an emergency landing. A few
minutes later the pilot asked the flight attendants if
everyone was buckled in and ready.
“All passengers are okay, Captain,” came the reply, “except
one lawyer who was still busy in the aisle passing out his
business cards.”
Reflection
Faced with emergency or crisis situations, the
greedy and materialistic person can still behave in
the most stupid ways. A greedy person will
eventually pay for his greed. His greed can also
bring about adverse consequences for others.
