How the Jews got the ten
Commandments
God went to the Arabs and said:
"I have Commandments for you that will make your lives better."
And the Arabs asked, "What are Commandments?"
And the Lord said: "They are rules for living."
"Can you give us an example?" "Thou shalt not kill."
"Not kill? We're not interested."
So he went to the Blacks and said:
"I have Commandments for you that will make your lives better.
"And the Blacks wanted an example, and the Lord said":
"Honor thy Father and Mother."
"Father? We don't know who our fathers are."
So He went to the Mexicans and said:
"I have Commandments for you that will make your lives better.
"And the Mexicans wanted an example, and the Lord said:
"Thou shalt not steal."
"Not steal? We're not interested."
He went to the French and said:
"I have Commandments for you that will make your lives better.
"The French wanted an example and the Lord said:
"Thou shalt not commit adultery."
"Not commit adultery? We're not interested.
He went to the Jews and said:
"I have Commandments for you that will make your lives better."
"Commandments?" they said, "How much are they?"
"They're free." "We'll take 10."

A woman and her little girl were
visiting the grave of the little girl's grandmother.
On their way through the cemetery
back to the car, the little girl asked, "Mommy, do they ever bury
two people in the same grave?"
"Of course not, dear." replied the mother, "Why would you think
that?"
"The tombstone back there said 'Here lies a lawyer and an honest
man."

Interesting word/phrase origins -
Take 6 Early
politicians required feedback from the public to determine what
was considered important to the people.
Since there were no telephones, TV's or radios, the politicians
sent their assistants to local taverns, pubs, and bars who were
told to "go sip some ale" and listen to people's conversations and
political concerns.
Many assistants were dispatched at different times. "You go sip
here" and "You go sip there". The two words "go sip" were
eventually combined when referring to the local opinion, and thus
we have the term "gossip".
