More lessons one learns in a successful life

• Any and all compliments can be handled by simply saying "Thank you" though it helps if you say it with a Southern accent.

Then I worked in the woods as lumberjack, but I just could not hack it, so they gave me the ax. After that I tried working in a muffler factory but that was too exhausting. Then I tried to be a chef - figured it would add a little spice to my life, but I just didn't have the thyme. I attempted to be a deli worker, but any way I sliced it, I couldn't cut the mustard.

My best job was being a musician, but eventually I found I wasn't noteworthy. I studied a long time to become a doctor, but I didn't have any patience. My next was a job in a shoe factory; I tried but I just didn't fit in.

I became a professional fisherman, but discovered that I couldn't live on my net income. I managed to get a good job working for a pool maintenance company, but the work was just too draining. So then I got a job in a workout center, but they said I wasn't fit for the job.

After many years of trying to find steady work, I finally got a job as a historian until I realized there was no future in it. My last job as working at Starbucks, but I had to quit because it was always the same old grind.

So I retired and found I am perfect for the job.

One day the papa mole sticks his head out of the hole, sniffs the air and says, "Yum! I smell maple syrup!"

The mama mole sticks her head out of the hole, sniffs the air and says, "Yum! I smell honey!"

The baby mole tries to stick his head out of the hole to sniff the air, but can't because the bigger moles are in the way, so he says, "Geez, all I can smell is..."

Get ready .......You may never forgive me for this one "... Molasses!"
