to counterfeiters had obtained the paper that they print money on, all that was left was to paint them up, But they got a little carried away with the celebration and and printed them drunk, in the morning they looked at their work to find they had printed a thousand dollars worth of 18 dollar bills, then the head honcho said, " Dont worry about it, we'll just take them to a backwoods shop and they won't know the difference." They went to a small mechanic shop in Alabama and walked up to the guy behind the counter, Doyle said, " How can I help you today?" They said, " We just need you to give us change for all this, and they gave him the bills, Doyle looked at the chuckled and said, " You want that back in $6 bills or 9s?"

A well known and well off architect was having a house built in north west Massachusetts and hired a local Yankee craftsman to do the framing. When he presented the carpenter with the blue prints for the house, the Yankee looked them over and told the architect "these can't be right - I think you've made a mistake". The designer chuckled and assured the old guy that he certainly knew what he was doing when it came to designing houses and that he had not made any mistakes." "Pretty sure you've screwed this one up," he insisted. "No. No I haven't. I assure you. Can you follow these blue prints as I've given them to you or can't you? If not, I'll find someone who will." "Of course I can", said the craftsman, "but you need to know if I build it like that, you're gonna end up with two bathrooms."

Spirit: That reminds me of something I saw in the Readers' Digest decades ago. At one time any building plans being considered at a Jesuit college had to have the plans approved by Jesuit HQ in Rome. The common language was Latin. St Louis University submitted the plans for a new dormitory as required and after a month or the plans came back with a note in Latin stating simply 'angeli sunt'? or when translated 'are they Angels'?
It seems the architects had forgotten to include bathrooms in the plans!

Love it. So angels eat manna and they don't defecate? Like it used to say at the bottom of my posts.

Spirit: No to be picky but where did you get idea that angels ate manna? They only eat angle food cake! Just Sayin..RJS

Well, there ain't really a wealth of information on angels in the Bible. They show up here and there, but that's about it. I really don' think I'd want a close encounter with any of em myself. I just kinda inferred that since the Israelites were provided with manna that there must be a abundance of the stuff and they would eat that. But I never thought about the angel food cake thing. Maybe they eat cake and crap manna. And they won't eat pork? Who's that joke on?

Bathrooms?
Here's a true story from my family.
Back in the day, most folks had a privy with hollyhocks growing around it.
My Mom's uncle was horrified at the idea of having a bathroom INSIDE the house. He thought that the little house at the end of the path was a lot more sanitary than crapping in the house!

He may have had a point. You sure don't need to clean it as much. Just dig a new hole and move it on over.

Spirit. For an intelligent man, you appear to know less about angles than I do. Just Sayin...RJS

Well, most folks who encountered an angel got an assignment that changed the course of their life. A change that wasn't your own idea can be kind of stressful.
