Butthe completion of this extensive road projectseems to have left a void for the community.Instead of the expected dancing in the streetsatmosphere and discussions on the joys of thenew road, a strangely opposite reaction has oc-curred. People seem to be reluctant to evenmention the miracle that has happened outsidethe gates.It was feared that conversation in Costambarwould come to a complete standstill without theroad to complain about. But then the weathertook a turn for the worse...And everything was back to normal.

A fifteen year old Amish boy and his father were in amall. They were amazed by almost everything they saw,but especially by two shiny, silver walls that couldmove apart and then slide back together again.The boy asked, "What is this Father?"The father responded, "Son, I have never seen anythinglike this in my life, I don"t know what it is."While the boy and his father were watching withamazement, a fat old lady in a wheel chair moved up tothe moving walls and pressed a button. The wallsopened, and the lady rolled between them into a smallroom. The walls closed, and the boy and his fatherwatched the small numbers above the walls light upsequentially. They continued to watch until it reachedthe last number, and then the numbers began to light inthe reverse order. Finally the walls opened up again anda gorgeous 24-year-old blond stepped out.The father, not taking his eyes off the young woman,said quietly to his son..... "Go get your Mother."

Once upon a time there was a famous sea captain. This captainwas very successful at what he did for years he guided merchantships all over the world. Never did stormy seas or pirates get thebest of him. He was admired by his crew and fellow captains.However, there was one thing different about this captain. Everymorning he went through a strange ritual. He would lock himselfin his captain's quarters and open a small safe. In the safe was anenvelope with a piece of paper inside. He would stare at the paperfor a minute, then lock it back up. After, he would go about hisdaily duties. For years this went on, and his crew became verycurious. Was it a treasure map? Was it a letter from a long lostlove? Everyone speculated about the contents of the strangeenvelope.One day the captain died at sea. After laying the captain's bodyto rest, the first mate led the entire crew into the captains quar-ters. He opened the safe, got the envelope, opened it and... The firstmate turned pale and showed the paper to the others. Four wordswere on the paper:Port Left, Starboard Right.

The Center for Disease Control has issued a medi-cal alert about a highly contagious, potentiallydangerous virus that is transmitted orally, byhand, and even electronically.This virus is called Weekly Overload RecreationalKiller (WORK). If you receive WORK from yourboss, any of your colleagues or anyone else viaany means whatsoever - DO NOT TOUCH IT!!!This virus will wipe out your private life entirely.If you should come into contact with WORK youshould immediately leave the premises.Take two good friends to the nearest liquor storeand purchase one or both of the antidotes - WorkIsolating Neutralizer Extract (WINE) and Bother-some Employer Elimination Rebooter (BEER).Take the antidote repeatedly until WORK hasbeen completely eliminated from your system.You should immediately forward this medicalalert to five friends. If you do not have fivefriends, you have already been infected andWORK is controlling your life.

I am passing this on to you because it definitelyworks, and we could all use a little more calmnessin our lives. By following simple advice heard onthe Dr. Phil show, you too can find inner peace. DrPhil proclaimed, "The way to achieve inner peaceis to finish all the things you have started andhave never finished."So, I looked around my house to see all the things Istarted and hadn't finished, and before leaving thehouse this morning, I finished off a bottle of WhiteZinfandel, a bottle of Bailey's Irish Cream, a pack-age of Oreos, the remainder of my old Prozac pre-scription, the rest of the cheesecake, some Doritos,a box of chocolates and a half bottle of scotch.You have no idea how freaking good I feel rightnow!!

Adam and Eve said, 'Lord, when we were in the gar-den, you walked with us every day. Now we do notsee you any more. We are lonesome here, and it isdifficult for us to remember how much you love us.'And God said, I will create a companion for youthat will be with you and who will be a reflectionof my love for you, so that you will love me evenwhen you cannot see me. Regardless of how self-ish or childish or unlovable you may be, this newcompanion will accept you as you are and will loveyou as I do, in spite of yourselves.'And God created a new animal to be a companionfor Adam and Eve.And it was a good animal and God was pleased.And the new animal was pleased to be with Adamand Eve and he wagged his tail.And Adam said, 'Lord, I have already named all theanimals in the Kingdom and I cannot think of aname for this new animal.'And God said, 'I have created this new animal to bea reflection of my love for you, his name will be areflection of my own name, and you will call himDOG.'And Dog lived with Adam and Eve and was acompanion to them and loved them.And they were comforted. And God was pleased.And Dog was content and wagged his tail.After a while, it came to pass that an angel came tothe Lord and said, 'Lord, Adam and Eve havebecome filled with pride. They strut and preen likepeacocks and they believe they are worthy ofadoration. Dog has indeed taught them that theyare loved, but perhaps too well.'And God said, I will create for them a companionwho will be with them and who will see them asthey are. The companion will remind them of theirlimitations, so they will know that they are notalways worthy of adoration.'And God created CAT to be a companion to Adamand Eve. And Cat would not obey them. And whenAdam and Eve gazed into Cat's eyes, they werereminded that they were not the supreme beings.And Adam and Eve learned humility.And they were greatly improved.And God was pleased..And Dog was happy.And Cat . . .didn't give a shit one way or the other.

A man is stumbling through the woods totallydrunk when he comes upon a preacher baptizingpeople in the river. The drunk walks into the waterand subsequently bumps into the preacher. Thepreacher turns around and is almost overcome bythe smell of booze. Whereupon he asks the drunk,

"Are you ready to find Jesus?""Yes I am" replies the drunk, so the preacher grabshim and dunks him in the river. He pulls him up andasks the drunk, "Brother have you found Jesus?"The drunk replies, "No, I haven't."The preacher, shocked at the answer, dunks himinto the water again, but for a bit longer this time.He pulls him out of the water and asks again, "Haveyou found Jesus, my brother? "The drunk againanswers, "No, I have not found Jesus." By this timethe preacher is at his wits end so he dunks thedrunk in the water again, but this time he holds himdown for about 30 seconds. When the drunk beginskicking his arms and legs, the preacher pulls him up.The preacher asks the drunk again, "For the love ofGod, have you found Jesus?"The drunk wipes his eyes and catches his breathand says to the preacher, "Are you sure this iswhere he fell in?"
