Unusual Contents

 My mother used a wheelchair for many years following contracting polio.  Because of that, certain things were packed for trips which most people would never need.

Following one such trip which concluded in a airplane ride, one of her checked bags was missing.

My father reported the missing bag at the service counter.

"What is in the bag?"

"A bed pan."

The person writing out the information seemed very puzzled, so Dad added, "She needs it."

Days later, the bag was delivered to my parent's home.

Dad said he then read the tag on the bag and could then see the reason for the strange look.

It read:  Dead Cat

Lying

Have you noticed that most comedies on TV are based on lying?  

This is nothing new - Lucy was always in trouble with Ricky for fibbing about something. 

(An exception seemed to be the Andy Griffith Show, where a premium was placed on Opie telling the truth.)

However, it is not so funny if our political or business leaders lie to us - or themselves.

I think it weakens our nation every time it occurs.

Saving Money

 At the Mall, I was sitting in the Husband's Area - you know, the small area with comfy couches for abandoned men.

As usual, the store windows were plastered with On Sale signs.

After quite a while, as a lady approached loaded with bags, one of the fellows got up.

He said, "Well, I'm going home.  I've saved as much as I can afford to save."

And they left.
